Recently, the full specifications list for HTC’s next flagship, the HTC 10, found their way online. And now a look at the company’s proprietary software is in order.

Thanks to serial leaker LlabtooFeR, we’ve got a look at Sense 8.0 — HTC’s proprietary software for Android devices. In this particular instance we get a clear look at what HTC is calling “FreeStyle Layout,” which apparently means users will be able to put widgets, app icons, and “stickers” wherever they want on their home screens.

Stickers work like app icons, and launch a corresponding app when they’re selected. They look to be part of wallpapers, too, and can include images like martini glasses, trees, and more.

FreeStyle Layouts look to be an easy way to customize devices, without having to install a launcher. What do you think?
