Reusing an old wallpaper, back to simplistic and messing around with a different take on the black bar bit. :D

Can you give me a walk through on making a minimal setup like this?

This is assuming you have some familiarity with the widgets involved. Feel free to ask any questions, no such thing as a dumb one. :D

ST = static text
On my homescreen, use spaces, that dot, commas where appropriate to separate things.

Launcher = ADW EX, 10x10 grid, main dock enabled, transparent icon to launch the app tray

Font= SegoeUI Light

Clock: minimalistic text, [hour][st][minutes], left aligned, big font size

Calendar/Weather: minimalistic text, [day of the week][st][month][st][day][st][weather condition][st][temp][st], center aligned, little font size

Call and Text are both minimalistic text widgets with the tap to function enabled. So they act as shortcuts. Too lazy to make icons, etc.

I made the dark band on the wallpaper. I wanted it to match that grey shade on the lady.

Separate post so that if mabbio had more questions, he wouldn't have to delete a bunch of crap quoting me. :D

Killing time getting ready for work, made another little dock and another icon. Going to stick with this basic setup for a while.

What dock and icons are those???

They're mine. The icons are ones that I've been working on, the ones in the screenshot are the only one's I've made so far. I think I'm going to switch to using a gradient like in the dock as opposed to picking a color from each icon for the "glow" part (blue from the dialer, green from sms, etc.)

The dock is a tweaked version of a glass shelf type dock that I made. I'm not sure how I feel about that color gradient on it. I might try making one with just the colors in the wallpaper.

edit: Dropbox with the docks that I've made: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/22683305/1/Docks?h=92d762

They are of varying quality and "doneness." Some were abandoned works in progress, made to test out an idea, etc. glassshelf_short_curve is the latest (and best probably) version of the different glass shelf docks that I've made.
