I posted this question in the screenshot thread, but wanted to get more public attention to this in hopes of finding someone who knows the answers to my questions. Thanks in advance!

What apps / widgets did you use to get this blacked out screen? Also, how did you get it to look like you did? Details would be wonderful, as i'm pretty new to the modification scene. Phone is completely rooted, and currently using Gummy Charged Rom on IMNUTS otb Kernel.
Update: Alright, I found the widgets for the text and clock and stuff you used (plan on making my own personal touch of course), now I the only thing I need to figure out is how to remove the notification bar at the top, and the icons at the bottom, and also how do you overlap widgets? One last thing, is there a way to get the normal phone lock to not show up, without losing the menu when holding power? (Make it so the screen never times out normally, but allow LockMenu app to time it out instead) If anyone else knows how he did this, would be great. Thanks!
ADW Launcher will allow you to remove the notification bar and dock icons.
Adw ex can get rid of dock and overlap widgets and hide notification bar...maybe even regular adw

+1 for ADW it will do what he said.. as for removing the lock screen without removing the power menu, there is an app called No Lock that will make it so your screen times out normally but when turned back on there is no lockscreen (also I've heard No Lock Screen app works well too plus gives you a widget to toggle lock on/off)
Doesn't work with Charge, unfortunately. At least not how I want it. Thanks for the suggestion though! As far as getting my screen how I wanted it. I'm nearly there. Just need to get the paid version so I can overlap my widgets and i'll be golden.
Go Launcher EX is free and will allow you to hide the notification bar and dock bar.
You can also setup gestures for these actions. I map Swipe-down to Open Notification (helps with the large screen) and Swipe-up to Hide/Show Dock Bar. I just double checked and you can definitely set up a gesture to Show/Hide the Notification Bar, although it says "Show/Hide Status Bar".
SiMi Clock will give you a similar clock setup. I think you can customize the crap out of that application anyway. Here's what I quickly came up with:
Yeah, ADW has a free version, but it also has a "premium" app which you need to pay for that allows you to overlap widgets. The option isn't available in the free version. I tried Go Launcher, but I like ADW more.
Exactly.. So you'd need to buy ADW Ex or tinker with custom home screen grids in Go Launcher.
Although you don't need the paid version. Simiclock has weather and battery status widgets that are 1x1. You can move them as you want without worrying about overlapping. The Calendar is extdatewidgetxl, although I prefer just the extdatewidget.

Has anyone else downloaded this Launcher, and messed with it?
I downloaded it tonight, and I love it. Check my screencap.
It allows 5 apps to be put on a menu bar, allows you to select the number of home screens you want, and allows the home screen to go sideways.
I really like it, let me know your thoughts.

Sounds just like LauncherPro Beta. except with LauncherPro my notification bar is hidden, and i have a glass dock under my five shortcut icons. gives it a slight OS X feel, which i love. =o)
EDIT: also with LauncherPro you can set the speed that the app drawer opens. a useless feature that i really enjoy having.
how are the animations? The stock evo rom doesn't have the zooming in from middle when launching an app, but launcher pro does. I love this eye-pleasing feature. Does Zeam do this aswell?
Animation is great. Apps slide up from the bottom.

ok, just downloaded it... its aight, the default animation for the launcher is the "fly in" visualization, but it is not the smoothest. The slide option in preferences is much smoother.
But to all who want to know, when you tap to launch an app, it has the normal(semi-outdated) slide animation (apps slide in from the right), but launcher pro has the "zoom in from center of the screen" animation, which is great. It also fades your current app through the middle when you hit home to return back.
i'll be stickin with launcher pro, more options in preferences and overall great usuability and awesome graphics (3D apps menu available via advanced preferences)
maybe Zeam will pick it up a notch, i like the concept alot (especially the dock bar), just wish the dev could implement the launching animation of apps.
I have seen this discussed on videos however I havent managed to figure it out myself. Apparently you go to the app drawer and click the 'menu button' and you then can change them.. I dont see it. Or what I think is the menu botton isnt correct
Who knows?

You can now slide any App down to the bottom dock. You can even change it back to "Alphabetical Grid" and it will still save the Apps on the dock.

Now for the tricky part.... any idea on how to put a widget icon down there, like unread SMS or GMail? Would love to replace the Email icon with the unread GMail one!
Thanks
You can move (by dragging) anything that is in your App Draw (Applications menu) down to the dock. Gmail is one of those Items. That was the first thing I did.
As for widgets, I don not see any way to do it. Looks like we are limited to only items listed in the App Draw.
You can only put icons on the dock that appear in your app drawer, no widgets. However, you can still put your gmail and sms apps in the dock. Just use the method listed above. I'd recommend switching to LauncherPro (Launcher Pro plus is even better) because it is easier to switch the items on the dock and you have more options. It is also just faster than TW.

I probably will upgrade to LauncherPro (or +) eventually, but I'm just starting to figure this all out, being my first Android phone and all! Thanks for the suggestions, both of you!

Pure genius!
Apparently it's in the actual manual? Who reads those?
Is there any home screen launcher without a dock bar? I would like to have access to the entire screen and not have a dock. I know you can hide the dock on some but it still leaves an unusable space where the dock was.
I have tried :
Launcher Pro
ADW
SlideScreen (no dock but not my style)
SweeterHome
Any suggestions?

You could use Launcher Pro and have no background set for the dock - and then use transparent icons for the icons. That way, it would in a sense - be invisible.
SweeterHome can do what you want.
Why you don't want to use it?
ADW sure can do that, hide the status bar, hide the dock bar, all you need to try on its options.

ADW and LauncherPro both leave an unusable space even if you hide the dock.
I have got SweeterHome pretty close to how I want, just wish is supported scrollable widgets!
VLauncher?
If anyone was interested, this is how I have Sweeter Home set up.

I was going to say the same thing. With the latest ADW release you can completely disable the dock. I have the notification bar and dock hidden, set to five rows. The bottom row of icons/widgets go to the bottom of the screen.
Just checked out the new adw so now I am not sure which one I want to use.
Is anyone aware of a way to expand the notification bar via a shortcut or widget, without having to reach up to the top of the screen to pull down?
If you have a launcher like Nova, you can use a gesture to open it. But you have to be on one of your home screens to use it.
For example, whenever I swipe down anywhere on my home screen, the notification bar opens.

Yeah, I have Nova and love it, and am already using the "down" gesture to expand notifications. What I was wanting to do was make a custom "down" slider in WidgetLocker to activate notification expansion, and since Teslacoil hasn't added this feature to their WidgetLocker options yet, I thought i might be able to achieve this by pointing to an available app or widget.

Longpress the homescreen and you can use one of the Nova Actions to create an icon to do it.
Or, if you want it to be on the lockscreen, go into System Settings>Lockscreen>Slider Shortcuts, choose the spot you want. When it comes up asking you to select a 'Custom Application' scroll down to Nova Launcher then select expand notifications....
This is the Menu you want, but see how it's got the Nova icon but says "activities"? You don't want that one, scroll down until you see the icon again and it's labelled Nova Launcher.

Thx, the screenshot did it. For some reason i don't seem to have the same menu descriptions that you listed though. I have a GS3 stock, rooted, Nova, and WidgetLocker.
I was able to achieve what i needed with "Long pressing my slider">Edit>"Choose Direction">Shortcut>Nova Launcher>Expand Notifications. I think i overlooked the Nova option you suggested about a dozen stinking times thinking is was pointing to Nova settings or something. I always gravitate toward the activities menu instead. Thx for pointing that out.
Pretty much the title.
There are certain icons (namely 3G Watchdog) that I want to not be on the status bar, but still visible if I open the notification drawer. Yes, I'm aware of the "hide icon" feature in 3G Watchdog, but that doesn't actually hide the icon, all it does is make the icon image blank. Android still reserves a space on the status bar for that icon, which leads to some ugly gaps like this:

}
I'm using CyanogenMod 10, if that matters. And yes, I'm aware of CM10's feature allowing you to completely hide notifications from certain apps, but that would remove the notification from the notification drawer, which is not what I want. Think Google Now and its weather notification, except with me being able to apply that function to whatever app I want.
I dislike bumping, but it's been a few months and I still need an answer.
I've since upgraded to CM10.1 if that matters.
I have the same question
I'm currently using NilS notifications and have no need for app notifications to show on the status bar. It's very annoying having these notifications remain after I've already read/acted upon them. Is there any status bar mod which will hide app notifications from the bar itself? I don't care if it just makes app icons in the status bar black so they appear to be invisible. It's fine if notifications still end up in the drawer.
I've looked everywhere and tried some alternate status bar apps. The issue I've had with the alternate status bars is they've all ended up being a mask and when you pull the drop down, the alternate bars covered half of the clock and clear all button. If anyone know of any apps that won't do that, please let me know as well.
I understand Android doesn't currently allow 3rd party apps to clear status bar notifications. From what I've read, this will be changing in 4.3 but I just can't take it anymore. Any legitimate advice would be appreciated.
also on CM10.1

This could help, I was looking through posts for the same problem and have seen this, as no one has replied or helped you I will reply to this (kind of old thread)
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...us-bar-notifications-with-notification-clean/
Sorry to bring an old thread back, but anyone knows if this is possible? I would love to move Tasker notification to the drawer to free up space in the status bar.
Thanks,
Vic.
This is still very much an issue. I'm having this problem with the Quickly app - does exactly the same thing. Android still reserves the space for the icon even when invisible...
