Lifehacker reader andy_mcname put together this beautiful yet practical home screen using just a few simple tools. Here’s how.
This was my first real attempt at making a homescreen that had any form of style to it. I was always a believer of usability before style, so I tried to keep the theme as minimal as possible while still keeping it practical as I cannot stand having to sift through menu after menu to get where you want to be. The photo was taken by myself overlooking Belfast Lough, and the tools I used were:
- ADWLauncher EX for the five-column screen, removal of status bar and more.
- The Minimalist theme for ADW. This gives all the icons as well as the transparent dock.
- Minimalistic Text for the clock and weather widgets
- MagicLocker for the lock screen
- The Typophone theme for MagicLocker
