Pixel 2 / 2 XL - Let's see your setup on your Home Screen(s)!

I have the smaller 2. What is it you're asking? Where? You mean the included widget at the top of the launcher?
Unfortunately I believe it only displays the day of the week, the day of the month, and then the weather.
I don't see any settings for it to alter.
I could be wrong, so someone feel free to prove it, but I don't see settings for it anywhere.

Yeah that's what I was talking about, I gave up with the update so it just put a time widget on the home because I like it to be bigger. I wish I could take the time off the status bar then to make room for more notifications.

Simple for me so far, but I'll need a launcher soon to get rid of those white circles around icons (Inbox, camera). Is there any way of keeping the 'at a glance' at the top if you use a launcher?

@imartez, what are the non-gmail email notifications, what app is that? I've always used the native Exchange ActiveSync for my secondary email but this phone doesn't have it. Downloaded Microsoft Outlook (which you may be using), but my calendars didn't sync to my google calendar. Currently my secondary is running through gmail, but it seems to be taking the priority sync over my gmail account.

Anyone else, just curious your preferences. Sorry for getting off topic.

LED is your notification light, for whatever reason on the pixel 2 and Oreo it's called Blink Dot or Notification Dot

I thought that's what you meant does the pixel 2 have one I have not seen it

It is outlook, but there's no way to sync Google Calendar to the app.

It's really small in the right hand corner it is the size of a dot, and not as bright as a normal LED, also doesn't blink rapidly for notification, like every 10 or 15 seconds, so you kind of got to look hard to see it, a bit disappointing, plus I like LED notification just to glance at my phone
And it's not on by default you half to turn it on in settings, and possibly for a separate apps
