I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Okay, that's from 2013, but getting closer to that "retro" 2010 feel right?

Yeah, I'm hating it more by the day honestly. It was all done out of laziness, basically porting my old layout over, didn't need the clock though, so went with the forecast option, but it's a bit much for that theme.


Battery widget is a holdover too, but I like being able to tap on the widget to get to the battery summary poo poo. Hmm, can't seem to add the percentage to the meter in the status bar either....or remove it...wait...oh, okay, if you hold the settings "cog" on a Pixel with the full quick menu thing open it adds a System UI Tuner option to the settings menu...okay, no more redundant battery meter.

You know that instead of the date there at the top, it can actually display the weather, right?

When you're coming down off the latest bender, it's sometimes good to be sure of which month it is. It's nice to know that the last few weeks weren't just an uncomfortable carousel of hallucinations and dreams.

There's a Wallpapers app that's apparently what the Pixel uses pre-installed? The first option in each category is a rotating image

It's pretty ok, but most categories except Earth seem to get pretty :pcgaming:HDR TONEMAPS:pcgaming: sometimes

Uh... Kupo?

Here's the video of my stuff!

It was hard reaching across the screen with my right thumb so I made this. It's actually a KLWP live wallpaper, and I put a blurred and dimmed background behind everything, curved the edges, and put a persistent G icon that launches my browser for quick searching poo poo. The icons below the G are actually on different pages that I swipe between. I use the Flight Lite icons for my homepage. The time and date at the top is one big button to launch the clock app for timers and alarms.

I use Nova Launcher and the Alos icon pack for my app drawer and a darker and slightly transparent background for the app drawer.

This is actually a heavily modified version of some Android theme I saw on the androidthemes Reddit but his had some wonky poo poo I didn't care for, so I stripped it and made this minimalistic dude.

e: it's also worth noting that it seems kind of Skippy and laggy in the video, but it's perfectly smooth normally. I guess that's what I get for using a free screen recorder.

There's no way to define a KLWP or KLGT layout on your computer and import, is there? The interface for making something complex on the phone drives me nuts, I'd much rather define in XML or something.

Not that I'm aware of short of emulating Android? I just decided to start using nice round numbers instead of dragging and using sliders for values like scale, location, etc. The interface on KLWP is a nightmare.

Swiping up brings up the app drawer, left goes to Google Now, and right brings up music and podcast widgets.

Taken in low res because the screen is loving huge.

First time using a live wallpaper, it looks a hell of a lot better in person than the gif created with the built in apps.

Dumb question time, but I just got my Pixel XL last week and am still figuring it all out. How do you change the date there to the weather (or something else). It won't let me select it to change it or move it.

It'll show up on its own after a day or so. If it's been a day or so and still hasn't updated, make sure you've checked all the usual culprits: Location Services on, Google app has full permissions, it shows up the Google feed on the leftmost panel, etc.

If all of that is true, let us know and we can troubleshoot some more. I'd never let a goon miss out on the glory of the Google Weather Frog. All hail Google Weather Frog.

Well I got the weather working. But I guess my question is, is there a way for me to remove it or put another widget in that spot on the upper right? I was using a different weather app and would rather keep using it rather than the default one. And I don't want to be that guy with multiple weather apps (or fifteen clocks).
