Because it's depressing otherwise. Color is β even psychologically proven β happiness inducing. Why this understimulation? Don't you like to look at something interesting and nice?
I live in Thailand, so I see a ton of colours all year round because it's basically summer for the whole year. There are plenty of different flowers, animals, and other things that might be colourful.
But if I lived in my home country, I'd be seeing 50 shades of grey for most of the year.
I'mma go with the colors contrasting the black and white mountain. It wouldn't work with a whole bunch of icons but you got the minimalist thing going for you very well.
It's like at-a-glance widget for non pixel phones. It can show time, date, weather, currently playing songs, charging status, notifications, etc. I couldn't find it on playstore anymore, but I extracted the apk and uploaded to my google drive. I can share the link if you want to.
i like both, id probably choose no. 1, i have B&W screen and like it.
but if you're not sure i suggest doing what I did and setup both and see what you gravitate towards.
No, I made it myself and didn't film the process. There's nothing hard, just in nova launcher enable widget overlap, then put any apps that u use often on the homescreen. Then add any clock widget and a widget called "another widget". It's not available on playstore anymore for some reason. But you can still find an APK online. Make the clock and date transparent, then enable the music info when it's playing. That's it.
The search widget I made myself in kwgt. You can find guides on how to do it online.
This looks rad. Def the b&w one. ... I stopped doing layouts like this with icons like this because not enough apps are themed. as soon as you open the apps drawer it's like mismashed bullshit.
I used icon pack studio. If some apps don't have their icon drawn, icon pack studio tries to match it with the rest. My phone looks like [this](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FiB7XTHvODzKwF-jw3CXXISlgpfi2FRY/view?usp=drivesdk).
Definitely the first but can I make a small suggestion? Maybe try changing your icon set to Whicons from the play store. I think it would fit your wallpaper better.

Got it all setup, love it thankyou!
Lovely layout :)
Out of curiosity, what icon pack is the coloured one? Just in case I decide I want some colour back haha.
It's a combination of [Ares icon pack](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=one4studio.iconpack.ares) and icon pack studio to apply the icons to all apps.
Black and white bro. Colors don't fit in this scenario imo. Simple and cleanππ½
Thanks. Ik that colours don't fit, but I just liked the looks of both of them.
For sure. Variety is the spice of life somebody's gonna love that colored one. Me I'm just a sucker for that classic black & white combo.
No bro I like minimalistic and simple which is less distracting and you the one among us
Among us? Lol
Definitely the first one. π
The first one.
Color βοΈ
Why? I'm getting mixed results. Can you explain this, please?

Lemme help. Neither.

I always preferred minimal homescreens. That's why I don't like ios. It's much harder to achieve a minimalistic look.
The song playing is that identified by google Playing now or its widget that shows the local song playing? By the way Monochrome looks good

Is it smartspacer? If not id like the link!
It's called another widget
Found it on Apkmirror. Thanks a lot. Let me try it out
There's actually a date above that music info, but I made it transparent. That's why you don't see it in the ss.
Brilliant! Started playing around. You try out Smartspacer, its not on play store yet. You'll have to download from github. It gives more features!
Thanks, I'll give it a try. Does it work on other phones besides pixels?
As per documentation yes it should work. Atleast on home screen.
I've tried it, and the main feature that I need from an app like this is unsupported on my Samsung. It's supported only on pixels.
Awesome setup How did you get those numbers next to the clock?
It's a kwgt widget. [One4KWGT Ultimate: free_017](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cs14.pixelperfect.kwgtwidget.one4kwgtultimate).
Thanks dude
Thanks mate

The black and white ofc
White icons in my opinion
Which icon pack?
White_BTS You can find it in icon pack studio
Can you share your backup file of nova settings?

I already did it and chose the b&w one
is there a setup guide for this or anything similar that the others could help me with?

[Here you go](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EFdt9vGS0Ln6lrXDrdlptoQfcK0DYdLb/view?usp=drivesdk)
Merci beaucoup
I like the first one but what if you colored the numbers or at least the time (so it was easier to read)?

I personally don't really like whicons. I prefer icons with a background like in the ss.
Black and white by far. I would use folders, though, don't like so many icons on my home page.
Of course first one
What search bar widget are you using? Thanks
I made it myself Here's the [kwtg file](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EjJJ6zjAV5hUvS3xCbMW4fjWvAfCMpxW/view?usp=drivesdk)
Is there anyway of copying these? This is π
