My screen
This is my screensetting. Running widescreen nowadays so it's my old setting but it looks very much the same. And of course; I don't have the map or the recipies open normally.
This is mine.
I use it for all my alts and only tend to change the colour depending on the character. As you can see I like lots of space!

Mine is set up like the default except that I have the map in the top left and resized smaller and the target window is just under the health, end and xp bar things, just under the power icons.

That 4th bar is a long way from the other 3
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
and here is mine ...
tabs 3 and 4 are also used (4 for Combat & HSdata; 3 for Globals) but not always active
i do set my (ingame) windows size to 88%
and yes, i played in Windowed mode
well what i seen from some people setup that no one has gone past 4 power trays and the laysout are almost the same for most people 
but the best this is the bigger the screen the better the layouts are

[/ QUOTE ]Nitpicking here but..... I looked at all the screenshots above, and some people actually have 6 power trays open.... 3 together as normal, then 4, 5 and 6 in top right corner going vertically.
What do I need to do again to get trays in screenshots, as I don't often do it. Once I know I'll paste mine later.

wow...uhmm, how thick are your glasses?....i have glasses but this is way to small to read. 
^to above^
in the key mapping there is an option UI toggle screenshot, best key bind you can take is "shift+print screen" so you don't waist any key's to play

Maybe Tellis just has better vision than you in general? Maybe Tellis doesn't wear glasses.
I can read it, I used to have mine that small when I was playing on a tiny monitor.

How do you get the box with recovery etc. up? I didn't play the game when that was introduced

You mean the box with the attributes? It was answered earlier in the thread.

Actually, I use about 6 or 7 on my DB/DA scrapper, as I put each DB combo into trays 1-4 (and bind my F-keys to switch between them on the bottom tray), most of my DA toggles and Epics in Tray 5 and 6 (Middle and Top trays), with all my Travel Powers, Jump Pack, Ouro and PD TP included, on Tray 7 at the side.

Stuff
I have 3 trays as per normal, with a 4th tray for Teleports, temp travel powers, and the PPD costume changer.
Mine is surprisingly like Cynic's except I have my Health/Menu, Nav thing and Target thing centre bottom. At top I have my enhancement tray (sometimes) and two small chat boxes, one has either Procs or Rewards and the Other has system messages and NPC dialogue.
