[G2 Themes and Apps] EniGmA1987:
EDIT: resources and tutorial at bottom of this post

Here is mine. The main screen is this first one, and it has a calendar to the left on a different screen. The transition animation makes the "bars" compress and slide out of view nicely, and then as it transitions back to the main screen the bars de-compress as they slide out of the side of the screen and into place. The two icons at the bottom open folders. One folder is system/tools apps, the other is a games folder.

Transition:

To begin you will need to download the attached SlideBars_NotFlashable.zip file on this post. Next go to the Play Store and download Apex Launcher (or Nova Launcher or whatever you feel like using that allows you to set different grid size options and widgets in the dock). You do not need to buy the paid full version, but it does allow access to additional animations and options. This theme can be set up entirely using the free version of Apex Launcher though. You will also need to download an app called UCCW, I have also provided the app in the zip file so you can install the .apk file from that if you want to. Now copy all the .uzip files from the main .zip file onto your phones storage and put them in the UCCW folder found on the root of your SD card.

Open up UCCW. Click on Open and select open uzip.

Browse to your UCCW folder and open the first uzip file. Repeat this process and open all the uzip files in UCCW. Once a file has been imported this way you will be able to open it as a saved skin in the future.

Go to your Launcher's options and set these options:

grid size: 11 rows, 5 columns (9 rows also works but results in larger spaces between widgets)

width margin: none

height margin: none

shadow: off

transition animation: Accordion (you may not have this option, I just feel this animation fits best)

Dock:

width margin: none

dock pages: 1

dock icons: 5

allow any size widget in dock: yes (this option may be under a different menu or hidden option such as Nova Labs section)

Gestures:

double tap: open app drawer

pinch out: recent apps

swipe down: expand notifications

Now on your homescreens move to the far right screen. I choose to only have two screens but you can have as many as you feel like. The setup looks best when the app "icons" are on the far right screen though.

Long press on the homescreen and select to add a widget. Scroll down to UCCW widget and select a 3x1 widget size.

Add whatever widgets you feel like using, I personally use: phone, text, email, music player, camera, and battery. Keep adding 3x1 widgets for as many as you want to use.

Once your widgets are on the homescreen, long press and drag the widgets into the order you want to set them along the far right edge of the screen. Whichever bar you want to stay with you on all homescreens should be placed in the dock and the bottom. The rest of the widgets will slide out of view as you swipe to a new homescreen.

The battery widget I like placed at the top of the screen. Even though it is small the widget size still needs to be a 3x1 size to maintain the same size as the rest of the bars.

Once all that is done make a new widget in 4x2, which is the largest size UCCW supports. Open up the "BK's TransClockn'Date". Position it in the upper middle area of the screen. Then long press on the widget and let go, select "resize" and resize the clock widget across the whole width of your screen.

Lastly, if you want access to specific types of apps or something I like to make a folder in my dock by long pressing and dragging apps from my app drawer into the folder on the dock. I use one folder for all my games and another folder for system tools and apps.

You can set up any of your other screens however you want to, I use a calendar widget on my second screen but I also find that a Facebook widget works well. I like to use the app called "Calendget" for my calendar since it is free and you can set it with a transparent background that fits well with the theme. For Facebook I use "Android Pro Widgets" since it also has a nice Facebook widget that can be set with a transparent background and nice white text.

I do not know who originally came up with the idea on the bars that I use, the design is from someone else not me. I did modify some of them and added a few of my own and re-arranged things to fit me better. Wish I remembered who it was that made some of this stuff but it was quite a while ago now :/

You can use the UCCW widgets and create your own as well. Just make the changes to the hotspot and edit the text on the bar and save it as a new widget. You can do this to make a bar that will launch whatever you feel like doing, I just included some common ones that are useful for most people.
