My current home screen is inspired by the UI design featured in cowboy bebop :)

it's always evolving so parts are unfinished, but a lot of the features are designed to help me manage my circadian rhythm sleep disorder

Not sure how it'll look after compression, but I'm really proud of the design work that went into it, its pretty much all custom made with KWGT and KLWP

Edit: had to post page 2 separately 🙃

Any tips how to make that "do the task / done!" Thing in the calendar?! Need that terribly!

[–] Cris_Color 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The implementation is kinda messy and imperfect because of some issues with kwgt. Are you at all familiar with tasker and KWGT?

Its technically two widgets, a calendar widget from an app, and a custom made task tracker overlayed on top of it with the Nova launcher setting that allows items on the home screen to overlap

If you just want the task tracking lots of habit tracker apps have a widget with similar functionality, but otherwise I can probably share the KWGT file for the tracker. And I think tasker has a way to share stuff too assuming I can figure it out, but some stuff will probably need to be set up even after that, I'm not sure.

Did some digging and Todoist seems to have added just that since I messed with it last.... I might circle back but I appreciate it. I do mess with Tasker, but only just now saw that klwp has Tasker features now! I'm going to have to play a bit.....

[–] Cris_Color 2 points 11 months ago

Absolutely, just lemme know if you'd like me to share stuff :)

Best of luck with something that works for you!

Your eating schedule is indeed... unusual, but it's a pretty great theme along with a constant reminder of the weight we all carry after the last episode. Hope it helps with the sleep rhythm. Got relevant notification sounds and ringtones to match?

[–] Cris_Color 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

lol, my eating schedule is so weird because of my sleep disorder. Right now I go to bed at 6am-ish, and wake at 3-4pm. In the winter it tends to drift later and I start often waking after sunset. Thats why there's sunrise/sunset times next to the weather, along with other similar info kinda buried in the ui to help me manage my sleep schedule (the solstices, and daylight savings time changes are marked on the month indicator at the top of the calendar, for instance) on the left side there's an agenda progress bar with some important breakpoints in my day, and you can see its not long after wakeup even though its 8am 😅 though the progress bar doesn't adjust for daylight savings/schedule changes yet, so its currently an hour off

And I haven't really found many notification sounds I like. Most directly relevant stuff I've seen seems too on the nose/more like a reference than something in-universe (for similar reasons I've thought about removing "you're gonna carry that weight", but it has a lot of personal significance to me). There are a couple of pre-loaded Pixel notification sounds I like though, including one that feels kinda evocative of a radar ping which is neat :)

Maybe I should try looking for some more SciFi notification sounds again

[–] taiyang 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'd keep the quote, it's good significance to a lot of people! For sounds, my mind wandered to like, a ring tone of the bounty TV program theme for when you need an alarm or something. Maybe a little obnoxious, though.

Funny I used to sleep at 6am to 8am, but it worked itself out somehow. I miss my late nights, though my life just can't do those hours anymore. It was more a choice, as it was quite and peaceful.

[–] Cris_Color 3 points 11 months ago

I didn't realize it didn't show up but there's also a second page to the home screen, I just posted that too separately

For some reason posting through mastodon made only one of the attached images show up

[–] Cris_Color 3 points 11 months ago

The peacefulness is kinda the one upside to me. It's also very isolating, often adds additional hurdles to lots of important small things in life (everything is closed and nothing is available during the hours I would normally function) and it's really restricted what I can do with my life. Not to mention it burns a lot of my mental energy trying to keep my schedule at least vaguely functional. I'm still learning to make my peace with it, especially as we're entering the winter months.

But walks in the middle of the night when you get the whole world to yourself are a small solace I appreciate :)

I'll have to go look up what the bounty hunter theme was like again, maybe there's a place for it somewhere in the sounds my phone makes ☺️

There's actually a page 2 I had to post separately cause of some weirdness with posting to lemmy from mastodon, you should be able to view it on this community, or on my mastodon profile that this original post in on, just like if you were looking for another post from a lemmy user. I think. The fediverse is weird.
