Sand

I suppose I should share the one I made today too, eh?

This one's real simple, soft and sandy.

Sand

Nova Prime, 8 x 5 sub-griddery, no margins or shadows, and Zooper.

Get it here.

As always, feel free to visit MyColorScreen to share some love, or share your screens on my community on Google+. You can also follow me on Twitter, or send me a high five (bucks?) if you're feeling generous.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for reading!

It's Friday!

I posted a home screen up on Google+ the other day, inspired by the new mobile app design. I had seen a few pop up since the new UI overhaul and I figured I try my hand at it myself.

I used Zooper Widget Pro (of course), Nova Launcher Prime with an 8 x 5 grid, sub-grid positioning on, no margins, shadow, or notification bar. The top icons for Gmail, Hangouts and Google+ display counts when you receive notifications (using the Android Workbench companion app) and the To Do list was made using Zooper Do. You may need to fiddle with the scaling a little bit, particularly with the bitmap in the top right, depending on the size of your device's screen and the images you use.

Download the templates and resources here.

As always, thanks for reading! Follow me on Google+, Twitter, or MyColorScreen for more home screen templates and themes!

Pale Peaks

Now I know I drooled over Themer for a bit there and then I kinda disappeared, but I'm back with a quick little screen I threw together for Nova Launcher (which has seriously knocked it out of the park with the latest beta updates).

It's nothing too fancy. Two widgets placed on a 8x5 grid (sub-grid enabled) screen, no margins, no shadows, no frills. You might have to tweak it a bit as it's a little hard for me to determine how the sub-grid was used, but you'll know it when you hit the sweet spot.

I also haven't taken advantage of any of my apps (so no auto-scaling) on this screen, just Zooper, Nova, and a little bit of love.

Grab it here!

Speaking of love, check out MyColorScreen. I think I threw a screen up there taking advantage of Zooper Do (no files - sorry!). If you do use my any of the Android Workbench apps, feel free to share your creations on the Google+ community or tweet @DroidBench with any ideas, bugs or just plain old random stuff.

Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Saturday to you all!

This week saw a minor hiccup with Themer, but the developers very quickly fixed that right up. Also, I've updated the Android Workbench and Zooper Counts apps to support Pinterest (PINIT), Snapchat (SNAPC), and Vine (VINES). That being said, I only have one screen for y'all this week. I hope you like it!

This one's an Auto-Scaling screen, created with Themer, Zooper Widget, Media Utilities, and Android Workbench (Zooper Counts will work too). This, like many (Read: All) of my other screens requires at least one of the two for it to work properly.

Themer users can download the ZIP here.

For those who prefer a different launcher, get it here.

This screen has a 16 row, 9 column grid with no margins, padding, shadows, dock, etc. The top and bottom widgets are 3 high and 9 wide, placed one square from the top and bottom edges. The middle music Widget is 8 high and 7 wide placed right in the center. Just size your screen and widgets, and whatever size your screen may be, the contents will (should - nobody's really gotten back to me on that) adjust to fit your device's screen resolution.

Please feel free to leave your comments, questions, or a friendly +1. Share it with your friends! Follow me @DroidBench on Twitter, on MyColorScreen, or join the Android Workbench community on Google+ and share your stuff!

I had donate apps available that I ended up taking down form the Play Store because I thought it seemed a bit greedy, but if you would like to show your monetary support, there is a PayPal Donation button somewhere on here...

Finally, if you like the app(s) but think there's something missing, not working, or a feature/app you'd really like to see supported, drop me a line and I'll do my best to work it into the next update.

Thanks for reading!

Soft and Serene

Screen number two for this week is a much more ambitious (and hopefully functional) theme, brought to you by the latest and greatest update to the Android Workbench companion app and the all new Zooper Counts app for devices running lower than Android 4.3 - Automatic Scaling.

Unfortunately I haven't tested this because all I've got is a lowly 720p Motorola RAZR HD (it's still a beast in my book). but those of you with Nexus 5's or Samsung Galaxy...what is it now? 14? I'd appreciate any feedback when applying this theme.

Oh yeah, the screenshot's a GIF. Wow! So excite! Such new!

This one was also created using Themer, so if you're running that you can grab the zip here.

Otherwise - here.

Please share, +1, comment or leave some love on MyColorScreen. Drop me a line in the community or tweet @DroidBench with any bugs, hugs, or shrugs.

There's a donate button too, but I wouldn't recommend you use it. There's a lot of cobwebs on it...

Thanks for reading!

First Contact

After a week of updates and tinkering, this week's screens are finally ready to share. We're taking a bit of a turn from the norm here and moving from Nova Launcher to Themer. I must say, this app, although it took some getting used to the switch from Nova, is a juggernaut. I can easily say this is THE BEST launcher for Android customization. The features are rich, the UI is gorgeous, and the one-tap theming is beyond your wildest dreams. But I digress...

Here is the first of many screens to come - First Contact.

This screen uses one Themer screen with a 9 column 16 row grid, no frills, Zooper, Media Utilities, and Android Workbench (for those with devices running a lower version than 4.3 try Zooper Counts now available in the Play Store).

You can download the templates here - or grab the Themer theme here.

Feel free to share, +1, leave a comment below. Drop on by the community and show off your setups, or tweet @DroidBench with suggestions, ideas, complaints, or just plain old random crap.

Thanks for reading!
