I made this theme for myself a while ago and redesigned the bottom buttons. I like to have many icons visible but not to be too cluttered. I do not use shortcuts and, although I have QuickLaunch, I rarely find myself using it.
This one has 14 user defined icons (12 lower and 2 upper) and 5 static buttons on the home screen as well as shortcuts. The 5 buttons are Browser, Google Search (must have Google Mobile App installed), Memo, Options and Passwords. Also has a large, framed clock and the click-able profiles icon and signal.
