Let's see your "Incredible" layout (Pun intended)

Thanks Paul - I seem to get bored of themes about every few days or so and start searching for new and interesting ways to configure it....

and since people kept asking me about my icons etc I finally set up a Dropbox site to host them all :)
 
Here's what I came up with the other day, trying to keep it kinda simple


I actually have a very similar layout (my wallpaper is different and I am using Clockr instead of SiMi) how did you get your app icons so close together? Is that desktop visualizer that lets you do that?

It seems like alot, but it comes together.


I don't know if its me but I'm really lost with how you got all of that to fit right there. lol

this^^!! the clock/weather looks awesome, but how did you do it!
 
Ok been playing around some more :)

Desktop Visualizer
Beautiful Widgets
Launcher Pro Plus
Analog Clock Collection
[ROM] Skyraider Sense 3.3.4
and custom background/icons by me

Main Screen

Touching the word Social on the left side (or just swiping to the left)

Touching the word Games or swiping to the left from the Social screen

Touching the word Settings or swiping to the left from the Games screen

in any of the screens touching the icon in the lower left corner will always send you back to the main homepage (swiping that button activates the flashlight) and next to that is the App Drawer and then my web browser


This is great. I have been trying to do something along these lines. I have created shortcuts with LP+ to change to a differant screen. But I can find the shortcuts to plug into Desktop Visualizer. Care to share how you link your shortcuts to DV widgets?

Thanks

Its with launcher pro+, rows and Columns in the settings. I think that was on 5 or 6 columns and 8 rows

I don't have my LP shortcuts linked to DV - the words Social, Games, and Settings, are part of the wallpaper and then I just put a shortcut on the desktop to the LP shortcuts and use a blank image for the icon.

Tweaked the wallpaper myself from one I found online, inspired by my current obsession with Mad Men.

Left to right:
Screen 1: WidgetLocker and SwitchPro
Screen 2: LauncherPro. Left homescreen, blank to appreciate my wallpaper.
Screen 3: Right homescreen, transparent Pandora (from XDA) and native weather widget
Screen 4: QuickDesk, SwitchPro

I'm not a fan of cluttered screens. With the swipe gestures on LP and App Organizer folders in my two docks, I'm never more than 4 gestures away from any function or app on my phone.
 
Couldnt get the SDK to work on my laptop and I dont really want to Root my phone so Im stuck posting my Layout the old fashioned way lol

LockScreen: Widget Locker

There have been some questions on how this screen is layed out.
Its a widget called "custom clock widget" and you can add transparent faces to it so you can see whats underneath.
I use beautiful widgets 1x1 and pick which skin you want?
Place it where you want.
Then i made the clock as small as possible and set it to the upper left of the weather widget.
Long press the clock and then drag it over the weather making it bigger and setting it in the middle of the weather. (this takes some time)

I then add beautiful widgets 4x1 and hid the current weather and backround. and set it off to the side.

The other widgets are set with launcherpro also, just resizing to fit where you want?

I use 9x9 or 10x10 screen layout for launcherpro for more flexibility.

Hope this helps....glad everyone likes....
 
This is my new one for tonight anyway...
