This is not the default BOOTUP state of the phone but you can at least get an idea of how I use my phone personally. I was going to go with HTC HOME but it just takes up to much damn space. I opted instead to make a custom rlToday skin, and put other programs to track notifications like phonealarm and the notification plugin. Here is what you are seeing on my phone
1 - rlToday plugin (if you want to change the metroid picture, modify the "Launcher.png" file in photoshop.../windows/skins/launcher.png)
2 - phonealarm with custom BigJ-Mini skin (it looks like the double bar, i love the sound customization but w/ the single line notification plug, i dont need the bulk)
3 - Single Line Notify plugin
4 - o2 Sound Profiles (if you use this, set your phonealarm profile's sounds to "Leave Unchanged"
5 - Calendar +
