Betcha mine is the most cluttered, lol.

I've tried themes, but they're completely obscured by my widgets.

I've tried edge panels for apps, but I just can't.

I'm too OCD about wanting certain information right in front of me; Outlook, weather, calendar, device care widgets, a picture of my wife and son... and then having my most often used apps only a click away, not a swipe and a click, lol.

A shame too, because there are some amazing themes/wallpapers out there, but I just can't...

Everyone likes things their way. I can see why you are not using a wallpaper, you would barely see it, lol. I'm a bit more minimalist, mostly because I do not have a lot of apps on my phones.

Are there themes for the F3? I was thinking the ones in the samsung theme store were for regular phones. Been looking for wallpapers to work with the aspect ratio of the F3 but I have been coming up blank.

I keep my home screens clean too. Main screen will not have anything other than Google at a glance widget and two other screens for widgets (calendar, yahoo finance, Google find song etc) and couple of apps. Am more of a multi tasker and so edge panel is more important to me to launch apps as I don't go back to home screens or app drawer to launch apps. Even on my backup pixel I have a third party edge panel 😀. It is one of the best things Samsung came up with.

Agreed, I love the IDEA of the edge panels, and periodically try them.

As I mentioned above, I'm constantly wrestling with wanting a cool theme/wallpaper... that is visible, lol... vs my desire to have all the info I want and apps I frequently use, right there; visible and accessible at just a glance or one click... not swipe, (in one direction or another) then click.

I'm weird I know, lol. :p

I've always preffered a minimalist home screen.

I use the edge apps screen heavily and find the calendar and clock / weather widget fulfils my immediate need to see needs.

Here's what I did with mine. Been using the same or at least similar setup since Nexus phone days including wallpaper
