It's my homescreen, not lockscreen. There is an app (can't remember the name) that can change the unlock icon on the lockscreen so I guess you could get the same or a similar look if you wanted.

Ok, I've set everything up to look like this, but where can I get the folder icon? I've installed Belle UI. Sorry to bother you but this is beautiful.

No bother. If you long-press on the folder you'll get a pop-up where you can edit the folder icon. Just choose "From icon pack" (or something like that) and from that list you select Belle UI. The icon is somewhere at the top of the icon list.

Thanks and no worries! First of all you of course need everything in the description, you can replace the PA ROM with any other that has support for the theme engine. I'm using Apex Launcher but I think Nova Launcher would give the exact same result. You have a Nexus 4 which has a somewhat strange aspect ratio so it might not turn out exactly like on this screenshot.
Apex Launcher settings:
-Homescreen settings:
--Portrait grid: 9x5
--Horizontal margin: None
--Vertical margin: None
-Advanced settings:
--Widget padding: None
-Also, disable the dock and icon labels on the homescreen.

The Chronus widget is 1 row high and placed on the 3rd row from the top on the homescreen. The widget background color is set to "252525" and I think you have to buy the Chronus app to have access to this setting. The triangle you see is just a regular folder with my most frequently used apps, you can find that icon in the icon pack in the description (could be available in the free version too).

I think that's all. It's a very simple setup.

Thanks! I got "stuck" using PA since franco kernel didn't support CM due to changes made by the CM team. But I like PA, it's close to stock ROM with just the right amount of customization and nicely integrated with the stock settings. There's always room for improvement but it's getting there.

I'm still on 4.4.4... does the 4.6 bring some noticeable new changes/improvements? I'm thinking of waiting for the "L" release.

They're using their own numbering system. So it's still Android 4.4.4 but PA version 4.6.

aaaa... now that makes sense! IMHO they should have used a different numbering scheme. Thanks for the clarification!
