This is pretty useless for me but I must have it now. Google did something similar that shows your battery, wifi and notifications in your wallpaper. What launcher are you using?
Lol, I should've checked the names.
This is my setup btw. Wallpaper is Meter live wallpaper by Google CL.
And same, I have a media folder which has a swipe action for Google Music, as well as screen actions, such as swiping down on my home screen opens the notification draw. My other favorite that I set is double tapping home brings up app search.
Having everything within thumbs reach is the most important aspect of my launch screen. Sure, our setups aren't very unique, but are sure damn efficient.
Google Lab's Meter is a dope background app too.
I use the 'Meter' live wallpaper

Just the bare minimum for my needs, daily apps on homescreen with other frequent ones in the folder there. Pure Android and stereo front speakers.. love this phone. Gonna upgrade to the 6p when the new Google phones come out and the price drops.
The wallpaper is a Google app the has three versions is cycles through. This one is a visualization of the battery life (it's about 50%. See big circle vs small circle size). It also has wireless signal level and notifications. Really good looking. And as you rotate the phone, the inner circle kind of slides around. Very cool. Btw Yahoo weather is really beautiful.
Oh and Google Fi service is amazing. Minimal BS from the cell phone carriers. You pay $20 per month for base service (unlimited calls/texts), then $10 per GB of data. So you can get 3GB of data for $50 total per month. But the best part is that you don't pay for data you don't use. And if you go over, there aren't any extra fees and they just charge the same $10 per GB. Really simple. And they use the networks of Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular, so you get great coverage pretty much anywhere. You gotta use a Nexus 6, 5x, or 6p, but it's well worth it.
edit: here is the Google wallpaper called Meter: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidexperiments.meter&hl=en
