It's taken me a while to warm up to this whole Material Design/Lollipop thing, but I really like it now. So far, I've themed the dock,
dialer, navigation bar, and replaced the Google keyboard outright with the one from "L" developer preview.

After peeking inside the Etched Material .apk (the basis for the dock icons in my homescreen pic two posts up), I realized that it includes blank backgrounds for theming purposes. The theming doesn't really work, since the foreground will be the stock (colored) app icon, so I decided to make my own (Apex Launcher lets you theme or replace individual icons). Here's what my homescreen looks like now, and adjacent is the second dock (Apex allows scrollable docks, independent of homescreen scrolling). I replaced dock icons 1 & 3 in the first pic and 7, 9, 10, & 12 (continuing the numbering) in the second. 1, 7, 10, & 12 are total custom, made from scratch using Gimp on a pc; 3 & 9 are built-in icons which I changed the background color on. If you are handy with an image editor that handles layers and transparency, the possibilities are almost endless!

Needed a change from the all-white look, so here's what I came up with. Uncluttered and gained screen real estate by eliminating the Apex launcher Google bar. The three functions it provided (Google Search/Now, Voice search, App drawer) are now available as hidden Navigation ring targets. Used three different icon packs to achieve the look:
  1. "Click UI" for the overall icon theming
  2. "3K SR Black" for the dock
  3. "Kitkat - Google Now" for the pop-up Navigation ring targets (accessed by long-pressing the Home soft-key)

I love material design and I especially love how many people are making such awesome material style wallpapers! For someone with a short attention span like me I love having a seemingly endless supply of new wallpapers to use!
 
Quite a departure from the spartan look I normally favor. It's my little protest against Lollipop; I'm tired of everything being round and white. :eek:
