Tremendous thread, I have read all of the posts and was inspired to do some skinning of my own. I was excited to see how I could pretty much re-skin the entire UI with an un-rooted Gnex.
Details:
Nova Launcher Prime
BobclockD3
Circle Battery
Simple Text Widget
Simple Text Icons
Simple Calendar
MetroStation Icons

Nothing special. From pics w/ 4 invisible app icons
Can anybody tell me what the Android Forum little box on my home screen here is?
I got my new phone and lost it (and Tapatalk app) switching everything over.
I can't find tapatalk for free anywhere anymore, so I guess I will buy it when I get paid again.
But I don't know if that's a widget or a bookmark or a shortcut...
I can't remember for the life of me.
Thank-you.

+1 for this. I posted my homescreens as my first post but don't think the pics came up it was only links....

There is just something special about blues and papers with blue in them on the GN screen. Also in combo with the stock icons, they just shine. That AMOLED shows it off so brilliantly. Looks good MyGalaxyNexus!

I've gotten so many more ideas from this thread my homescreen keeps evolving. I like my original design for it's hyper clean style, but I keep looking for ways to provide more information while keeping a clean interface.
Main change is from Beautiful Widgets and Simple Calendar. Plus some text Icons and an invisible icon for a handy folder.

I'm no designer. I have little to no artistic ability. I just wanted to share my thoughts since I went through many renditions that were very similar to yours....
Not sure if simple calendar will let you exclude the date from the display at the bottom, but I went with smooth calendar widget because it allowed me to disable the date.... for some reason it bugged me having the date in my clock widget and my calendar widget. It still kinda bugs me that I have the clock on the main screen and in the notification bar. Is that weird???
Also, I tried about 40 million weather skins including the one you have. After a little while I felt the graphics on a lot of them were too cartoony for the clean simple look I was going for. I wish I was artsy enough to make my own.
I considered the text buttons for the dock but never got around to it. Do you find yourself taking an extra second to choose which word to click on or have you gotten used to the location so that you know which app is where without even looking?

You must be left handed... no righty would put his icons that far away. There would be serious thumb strain.
