Post your Galaxy Note 8 Home Screen

Ok, I'm not very good at uploading but hopefully this came through. I use the new ADW- launcher2 as my launcher of choice. The icons at the bottom are actually folders with shortcuts in them. The folders are where I have organized most of my frequently used apps so I can get to them with just a tap but anyone else could be hunting for days.
The clock has touch points in it that open whatever app I choose to set so I have 3 different apps targeted within the clock. One links to my smartplugs app. One links to my alarm clock for easy access. And one links to my 3rd party calculator which I use frequently.
The weather app is weatherbug.
The wallpaper is from www.wallpaperswide.com and is free.

I forego all the icons on the homescreen and instead use Buzz Launcher and Buzz Widget to create these shortcuts with words (SMS, Phone, etc) and the day/date.
 
Nice. I have Amazing Text Plus to do something similar with the widgets but haven't used it on my Note8 yet.
 
Here's mine


NOVA
Shadow icons
Transparent Clock and Weather widget by MACHAPP

Yes, as @bukifvr pointed out, you can apply a theme and then apply another wallpaper and icon pack. For example, I like a lot of things about the Material Black theme, such as the colorful way it displays the Settings menu (see my initial post). However, I don't care for the theme's wallpaper and I often change wallpapers (I'm currently using the Shadow Galaxy wallpaper which @The_Chief discovered). I also have my favorite icon pack (DCikonZ) which I use with whatever theme I'm using at the time.

How did you get the colors in settings Icons.
I got the DCikonZ Theme and Icon Pack But my Settings Icons are all Red

And with the Material Black Theme I end up with Red/Black Borders around my Settings

I have been using Nova Prime for ages now - Love it!

The DCikonZ Theme and Icon Pack is only used for the icons, despite its name. There are several Material Black themes. Make sure you are using Material Black by Anup Rode from the Theme Store.
 
Added some from the OP
Still working on 'tweaks'

BTW, if you use Nova Launcher there is a trick to installing icons from the Samsung Theme Store (thanks to the folks at TeslaCoil Software). You have to apply the icon pack from within TouchWiz, then switch back to Nova and go to Nova Settings -> Look & Feel -> Icon Theme -> and select System.

Seems like I have to pick DCikonZ in Nova Settings to get them to show?

Am i missing some system setting?
