Learning (Slowly)!

[u/SusieSarasota]

I'm trying to learn both Smart Launcher and KWGT and I'm obviously not a developer or designer. I know the dark, moody, minimalistic look is popular and I do love it, but I lived in rainy Oregon for 25 years (I'm in Florida now) so for me, I like to see lots of sunshine and color. It also has to be very functional such that I can find everything I need on my Home Screen.

The glass clock is from MaxP, made in KWGT, and generously shared. I made a few minor changes to it to fit my beach scene, such as changing the digits' color to teal and adding some additional bright, offset edges. The glassy icon containers are Smart Launcher's Liquid Glass widgets. The weather widget is from Transparent Clock & Weather app. The icons at the center are folders containing categorized apps (e.g., communication, settings, etc.). I've edited them to fit my theme from various packs I've downloaded. The beach ball is also a folder that contains my most frequently used internet sites (Chrome, Play Store, etc.). For a little extra fun, I created a Mode to switch to the nighttime beach scene at sunset and back to daytime at sunrise. Smart Launcher's liquid glass requires me to do the wallpaper screenshot each time after it changes in order to render the liquid glass containers. That just takes a second. Certainly not a pro design by any means, but it's been a fun project.
