Part 1: Applying SSLauncher and its settings

Here is the link for SSLauncher, it's very tricky to get used to, but is very orginal and very, very customizable...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher&hl=en

All you need to change is the page wallpaper, provided in the link above, hide the status bar as well as the dock.
Also the "Hide Labels" needs to be applied in the "label fonts and style" setting when you select the "Pages" option.

***You can also you Apex Launcher if you are more comfortable using it***

Part 2: UCCW components

Sorry I can't provide the icons, just check the link above and download from xNiikk's website. The skin uses Quicksilver Bold font, and contains my location, date, time and current temperature. To make the clock have a dot instead of a colon, choose hour and minute separately, then make the full stop a suffix after the hour :) Mad!

The other skin on the right was also UCCW, adding in 3 images, with notifications for battery, gmail and text messages.

Part 3: Adding in the RSS Icon and Search Widget

This part is little different, as SSLauncher is extremely customizable for this part. Hold down the homescreen and choose add shortcut. 
To open a RSS app, choose Application in Action Type (or page if you want to open the the Hot! Page in the case of the star) and choose your preferred rss feader (news) app.
Change your icon to a blank png as provided, and make the background transparent (not the icon BG the shortcut BG).

***Always remember to tap apply settings after each step else it will forget***

Simi Folder here was just a quick simple setup, but I shall provide a tutorial for it very soon :) Here is the link for the app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.th.android.widget.SiMiFolde...
