What are you using for your launcher? Any screen shots? Looking for very minimalistic

I am EXTREME minimalist. I use 500px beautiful wallpaper that changes every 5 minutes. I wanted nothing to block the wallpaper when I turned on the phone or waved my hand over it in a meeting. I use Apex and my main screen has NO icons and no notification bar at the top. I eventually added the time, date and battery percentage at the top using Zooper Widget. But, that's it.

I use Nova with only a clock (Simple Digital Clock), nothing else expect docks and have 2 finger slide down to make the docks disappear as well as full screen enabled so nothing shows in the notification bar. I don't post screen shots of my home page on forums because it is against forum terms to post about religion and my wallpaper is considered very religious.
My second home screen has nothing but an icon to Kids Mode for my daughter. Tap it and it opens her apps and games.
 
@Javier P: I like this alot. How did you create the dock row (contains small icons for phone, settings, app drawer shortcut, play store, gallery)? Is this a specific icon set in Nova Prime?

I have Nova Prime but not sure how to replicate this row... can you offer guidance?

Sure! Most icons on the dock are from Min, free in the Play Store.

The drawer icon is from 7null.

In Nova, dock height is large, no divider. Tell me if you need help with Nova to set it up.
 
I use apex launcher and sometimes buzz launcher

This is my home screen using apex launcher

How do you get the folders to look like that? It has so much more visual appeal than the usual folders I see!
I agree & do the same with many of my folders.

In Nova, you can edit the icon of a folder just like you can with a regular app icon. Just press & hold the folder for a second, select edit, select the icon (folder) symbol & choose whatever you want.

Enjoy!
 
I like functional with the most used stuff right there, tap 'n go. Nova + Earth Live, slightly downsized icons. Not innovative, but fast.

Dodol launcher with "Iron Man" theme and about 4 other theme's icons. Plus Beautiful Widgets weather widget, Jorte calendar widget and a live WP for a little splash of life.

this is what i use, one of the free themes for smart launcher 2. i've been using it for a little over a month and really like it so far.

the "flower" grows automatically depending on how many bubbles you want, and then the app drawer auto-organizes itself. i'll probably go back to nova or something else that's more traditional soon just for kicks, but this is a pretty decent option imo!
Thanks for posting this. It looks pretty nice and easy. I am new to trying different launchers and the customizing and finding different themes, icons, fonts, widgets etc......got very overwhelming!
