One thing I love about Android is the extreme homescreen customization: thanks to widgets, themes, applications, and various launcher, anyone can create their own style, adapted to their needs. This is how the real creations, minimal style than a bit 'more complex. Surely as Beautiful Widget widget, or as a launcher or ADW LOB, make the difference, and thanks to them the personalizzazi0ne is really extreme.
However, it is a bit 'of time I'm sick of seeing the usual skin Beuatiful Widget, or the usual widgets Minimal, and bored by the monotony of my homescreen, I decided to use a little', looking for new ideas (inspired by a post, however, on XDA).
Take one of homecsreen, and positioned in a first step the Clock widget, which will then scaled by the standard size 2 × 2, the 2 × 3.

Minimalistic Text + Honeycomb Clock
After several tests, not just a few expletives, I managed to get a combined widget like the one here on the picture to the right, composed of custom text that displays different information with the honeycomb-style analog clock. The result is the union (or overlap) of two widgets: Minimalistic Text and Honeycomb Clock , both available for free in the Android Market. Minimalistic Text is an excellent application that allows you to set on their own Homescreen widgets of different sizes, with customizable text that shows information such as time, date, weather conditions, battery condition, or custom text. Android, natively, does not allow the overlapping of widgets: for this reason, to get a result like this, you will need an alternative launcher that will allow not only the overlap of widgets but also scaling. I personally have used ADW.Launcher EX, but I think they go well Launchr Pro Plus, or the free version of ADW.Launchr (I have not had the opportunity to test them). Therefore, the simple guide that will show will be based on, in addition to the previous widget above, ADW.Launcher EX.
First of all installed widgets and Minimalistic Honeycomb Clock (or if you want you can use the clock widget already present).
Then you need to set the overlap of the widgets on ADW.Launcher EX. Then go ADW.Setting> UI Settings> Screen Preferences and enable the option Overlap Widget.

Then continue setting Minimalistic Text. The customization of your widget will not be immediate, there will definitely a bit 'of time. I recommend that you set with dimensions 2 × 1 (hor): Once applied it, you can extend it to the dimensions 4 × 1, allowing the overlap with the Clock widget. Direct taxes 4 × 1 will not allow you to overlay (even if you zoom out, and extend it again).
The result is certainly unique, and it will look on your Homescreen nuo0vo, thanks to the many customization options present in Minimalistic Text. Give vent to your imagination then, and if you want, send and share your creations!
