My semi minimalist background. The sidebar expands to actually show quite a few apps, I use a bunch of apps on a daily basis so I couldn't really settle with just five or six that most means have, so when it's expanded out I can see quite a bit of information it's a lot faster than looking through my app drawer which hasn't even more apps but aren't ones that I use on a daily basis. Similar to my previous post but changed up the background and have been updating a few of the apps recently.
What launcher are you using for the side bar?
It's not actually a launcher, it's a live background using KLWP. It's a bit hard to explain but essentially allows you to make custom live backgrounds that can have a ton of customized features that you can get really granular with. In my opinion it really doesn't have that good of explanations or tutorials out there, but I had found a theme at one point and spent a bunch of time tweaking it and this is what I ended up with. For the most part I just swap out the icons when I want to change that or my background. But I added some extra rows and changed up the sidebar from a theme someone else had made.
I'd also like to know. looks great
