Adrift and at Peace

I've been busy this weekend. Not writing an endless tutorial has really freed up a lot of time. I hope you guys don't mind...

I thought I'd get in on this glass theme craze that's been sweeping the theming world recently. Now, I know it's not as simple a theme as you might be used to, but here it is:

Adrift and at Peace


This screen is not inspired by the Nine Inch Nails song, Adrift and at Peace, but I think it fits the theme rather nicely. After you apply this template, sit back and enjoy the music. You'll see how it fits.

Well, enough of my rambling. Here it is; the templates, Tasker project and wallpaper.

Of course, you'll need Zooper Widget Pro, Tasker, Media Utilities and AutoNotification Pro. Try the beta versions if you run into any issues. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime with a 16 x 9 grid and no margins, and SlimKat 3.2 in expanded desktop mode (SlimPie!), but you can use whichever launcher or ROM (even stock if you don't have a navigation bar) you prefer.

You will need to enable overlapping widgets, as you can see in the screenshot below. I'm sure there's another way I could have done it, but it works!


You can do what you want with shortcuts and such, but I've set the clock, when tapped, to open my clock app, the notifications each open the apps they monitor, and More Apps opens the app drawer. For music control, tapping the album art opens Google Play Music, tapping the track information skips to the next track, and tapping Play/Pause, plays and pauses the song.

Thanks for reading! Please +1, share, and/or comment. I value any feedback or suggestions. Don't make me beg people! See you next time!
