If you add Launcher Pro, you could add the hTc Evo Dock as well as the clock and weather widgets.

I think lots of people use either Beautiful Widget or Fancy Widget for the Clock. I know you can download the Fancy Widget .apk file from Here.

Didn't know about Fancy Widget, thanks for the link. here's what I noticed, Fancy Widget looks the most like the Sense widget but doesn't have animations, probably uses less resources. The date doesn't have the year, just like on sense. Last version was 1.3 before it was removed from the marketplace. Beautiful Widget looks the least like Sense but they had their app removed from the market too until they changed it, you have to have v 2.36 or lower if you want the sense version. here's a comparo

so yeah W+T H7C looks pretty crappy when seen side by side, but tapping the widget brings out the forecast and animations. blows away the plain looking fancy widget forecast. Beautiful Widget also has a nice animation and forecast

I've never seen anything other than the hTc in action....I don't have my smart phone yet. I've just been collecting links and bookmarking all sorts of stuff. I've got to wait until Nov 3rd to get my Epic. I had always wanted to make it look like the Evo because I love the Sense UI but since hanging out here and seeing some of the other Launcher Pro themes, I think I'm going to go with something more simple. I love the Tanj clock and text icons out there.

so I had fancy widget up today, not to great of an experience. it showed the sun was up till well past 8pm, and wasn't too accurate on my locations either, even after manual refreshes. beautiful widgets was pretty good, and i noticed it doesn't come up on the list of apps in the task killer (much like the google search widget, power control widget, etc), so its probably not a memory hog. im gonna stick with beautiful widgets for now

I had heard beautiful widget was better....but my understanding was that hTc had the people who made it, take it off the market. Do you have a link to where you got it from? :)

I'm gonna roll with Beautiful Widgets too. I had tried Fancy Widgets a while ago & the time wouldn't update after a while.
