Wallpaper : part of the default ones on the Google pixel 7pro. The wallpaper is rotated daily which will change the device theme thanks to Material You

Launcher : Nova launcher

Widgets : Another Widget for the one at the top, the Google search bar at the bottom

Icon pack : Oreo Icon Pack mostly but the app does not exist anymore. The icons are still there since it's a Nova backup from at least 5 years ago

Each icon is a folder. I setup nova to open the first app of the folder with a swipe up on the icon and to open the folder when tapping on the icon

Also I have a swipe right gesture that opens Google News as a left pane

Niagra launcher <3

[–] itsnotlupus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pixel 7 with a barely customized Nova Launcher, because I'm basic but I need rounded square icons.
The background looks iffy in the shot, but it's a live wallpaper from Shader Editor running Machine DNA's GLSL shader with minimal tweaks needed to make it fit on the phone.
That weird twitter icon is a Firefox PWA running twitter.com with various userscripts installed, to remove antifeatures and bad logos.

I'm still working on my background in kustom live wallpaper. I added a screen for easy use in the car. My app icons are Umbra by Vertumus.

Simple nova launcher setup with all my most used apps within thumbs reach.

[–] pixelscience@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing too fancy, but colorful.

Lawnchair, Digical, Aquamail, Doodle: Live Wallpaper

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Nova launcher and Chroma live wallpaper, try to keep it clean. Background changes each time I go home.

[–] Kadath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Fold 3 with Niagara Launcher. Wallpaper Engine for the background.

[–] Im28xwa@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seeing all of these amazing-looking home screens finally got me to switch from pixel launcher, I hated that I can't remove the Google app search widget and I must say as simple as fuck this new home screen is it is starting to grow on me I love how simple it is, Niagara launcher

S22+ Nova Launcher KWGT + Nothing for KWGT

[–] zenbhang@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The home screen I've had for a while!

Nova Launcher Prime with Borealis icons on the S22 Ultra.

Set this layout for the icons so I can easily reach each app while not looking at my phone based on my hand orientation.

Pear Launcher (dock currently has two pages, I may go to a Fediverse third page) with Whicons and a live wallpaper of two of the moons of Jupiter, which is also my lock screen:

So the unlocking is pretty seamless.

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Nothing crazy but, I think Sesame + Today Weather widgets look really great and are very practical

[–] idkwhereimgoin@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Just simple. Stock LineageOS Launcher. There's a second page with more apps I can easily reach with my right thumb. I'm a one-hand user period. That includes typing too

[–] LegitNerd@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've had Nova Launcher for a long time now, but I've recently grown bored of it and desired a change. I am giving KISS Launcher a shot after hearing good things about it here on Lemmy. This is my current setup.

Going to possibly be moving around launchers though. Main thing I need is a search bar

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like seeing what time it is everywhere and how much battery everyone has! And the temp.
