right with dock3


3 page homescreen with 3 docks. can't decide if i like the dock better as pictured, or with no dock image, just the text icons. after i took the screenshots i went to no dock image.. but either way i think this background is pretty cool. usually i go dark backgrounds.. this one is still dark, but also throws a splash of color in my life! hah! <3 my droid..

what launcher are you using if any?
and what apps?
what app is it that tells you the battery life left in words?

lastly what is the best home launcher, launcher pro or adw?
thanks

in those pictures i am using launcher pro plus.. but currently im using adw launcher. :p they both have their up sides. i like the ability to exclude programs from the app drawer with launcherpro plus, and i like the themes available for adw. you just gotta play with them both to see what best suits you i guess..

battstat is the battery life widget in words. tajm clock is the time in words. both are available in the market. pure grid calandar is my fav cal. widget. switchpro is the switch widget i use. audiomanager pro is the eq looking widget i use. all of these are available on the market. some are pay programs.. but i like supporting devs! its only a buck or 2..

i'm obsessed with changing things on my phone. my theme/layout has changed like 3 times in the last 2 weeks i think. it may have even been less time then that. just play around and take ideas from this thread! :D

so i've been using Home++ for a while and i like it i guess... i mean i really just like the extra screens and the little task bar at the bottom
Home%2B%2B_1274399360209.jpg


but it just feels like it's getting a little old... it crashes a lot, there isn't a whole lot of interesting stuff to do with it... i'm thinking about switching to something else. something with better aesthetic options available (like themes or something to give me more control).

i'm probably just gonna drop most of my apps back into the drawer and not worry about them (i seriously have like 7 screens of just apps and some widgets) and just have basic, good looking widgets and not too many of them. can anyone suggest any good apps for this? i'm not rooted, nor do i really care to root my phone, so preferably something just available in the market.

i just need something that's stable, gets the job done, and maybe offers a few little extras like bonus screens and even a task bar like Home++'s.

also, my notification bar (for some reason it's not pictured :thinking:) is white, and it bothers me, how can i turn it black? i haven't seen anything for it...
i did just upgrade to 2.2 so maybe i should check again....

A few tweaks to my previous setup.

Couldn't find a launcherpro dock background I wanted to stick with, so I made my own to match the Touchwiz notification bar. :)

Moved my folders into the launch bar and made some new icons from Black'UPS icons and Simpletext. Not sure if I'll keep the folders there or move them back to my main home screen.

Added Geniewidget to the mix. (trying to figure out how to change the background. I'd like to make it transparent.)

Here's my contribution. Just got my Samsung Vibrant a few days ago. Rooted, stock 2.1 ROM, LauncherPro.

Widgets: SwitchPro (main screen top), Vlingo medium (main screen bottom middle), chompSMS (main screen bottom right), Pure Grid Calendar 4x4 XL (left screen), Pandora (Right screen 1 top), TechBuzz (Right screen 2 middle), Engadget (Right screen 1 bottom).

Main screen and dock slider (left dock slider, then main, then right)

Can you link the app drawer and market icon?
