My semi minimalist background. The sidebar expands to actually show quite a few apps, I use a bunch of apps on a daily basis so I couldn’t really settle with just five or six that most means have, so when it’s expanded out I can see quite a bit of information it’s a lot faster than looking through my app drawer which hasn’t even more apps but aren’t ones that I use on a daily basis. Similar to my previous post but changed up the background and have been updating a few of the apps recently.
What launcher are you using for the side bar?
I’d also like to know. looks great
It’s not actually a launcher, it’s a live background using KLWP. It’s a bit hard to explain but essentially allows you to make custom live backgrounds that can have a ton of customized features that you can get really granular with. In my opinion it really doesn’t have that good of explanations or tutorials out there, but I had found a theme at one point and spent a bunch of time tweaking it and this is what I ended up with. For the most part I just swap out the icons when I want to change that or my background. But I added some extra rows and changed up the sidebar from a theme someone else had made.
So I found the original post where I adapted this theme from. The original artist is s4w4n on /r/kustom . His account was deleted, but his original post with (currently working links) are here .
My version I updated to add some additional rows, expand the expansion bar, and a few other things (that I cant remember everything that I changed, it was a slow process), link here
Here are some additional screenshots:
The wallpaper if anyone wants it:
Nice set up, super clean but has a lot of useful info quickly accessible. Thats a tough balance to make! I always come back to Arcticons for my icon pack, they go surprisingly well with that retro vibe you have going.
Yeah I’ve been using the lines icon pack for a while for my actual background but in my app drawer I use either neon glow or neon glow rings. Definitely though might want to consider some other stuff just to see if it fits the theme better
Oh I actually thought you were using arcticons, they look really similar
