I am new, and I am not exactly sure yet as to what all you can do with LauncherPro Plus, which is why I'm posting here to find out. I looked on the forum but didn't really get a direct answer. If this was answered previously, I apologize in advance. I guess my thing is what exactly does LauncherPro Plus allow you to do?
 
^Exactly as he said...
The other side of it is that purchasing the Plus version allows you to support the developer, Fede, for what is truly one of the best (if not THE best) alternative launchers out there. I'd suggest you try out Launcher Pro (free version) and play around with it as much as possible. There are tons of threads and a few websites about the customisation you can do with LP. You can also look around launcherpro.com to see what the widgets look like, as well as the development roadmap for the Plus version and the regular version, so if you decide to upgrade you'll know exactly what you're in for.

The main things that I found to be added to LauncherPro Plus:

1. Official LauncherPro widgets, which include: People, Bookmarks, Calendar, Messaging, Twitter, Facebook, and Friends.

2. Pop-up boxes from the dock that show: Missed Calls, Unread SMS, and Bookmarks (I love the Bookmarks one).

3. Ability to re-size widgets (let's say you have your columns set to 5, but your 4-column widget is "cut-off" and not showing the full widget... you can long-press on a widget, release, and drag the bottom-right triangle of the highlighted box to make the widget larger (or smaller)).

As others have said, LP+ is an excellent launcher, so much better than the original Orange rubbish on my San Francisco and well worth the price. I haven't really tried the widgets which come with it. I just tried the free version of LP for a couple of days and then bought the full version.

No offence but some people complain that there is more software on iPhone than Android - developers can only do so much with free apps. If we are prepared to pay a small amount for the full app, then they have the funds to do more.

I've always found it hysterical that we're willing to shell out HUGE money for these phones, but we get uncomfortable spending $0.99 - $2.00 on apps!

Some of the most beneficial features our team has found in this app, has been the pop ups and the ability to resize. When we started coupling that with the ability to work it with DesktopVisualizer also, it was limitless to the amount of customization to the main screen and applications space available. To us, this application allows our designers to have literally a blank canvas for customization as well as many other creative designers.
Truly, a must have application for the android system.

LP+ is worth every penny and Fede deserves all he gets. Having said that, I do prefer the Pure Messenger FB, twt, email widgets over LP+ purely because of the customisation options. However, I believe Fede is working on a new version and if he matches/betters the skinning options available with Pure Messenger then I'll be well happy as LP+ is far more stable and predictable for daily use.

I have LauncherPro Plus and want to get rid of my dock icons entirely...can i do that??

Long press a dock icon-change icon - chose blank. You can also use an invisible icon to have shortcuts in the dock but not see them.

i have the G2 and i like the widgets of LPplus but i dont wanna use it as a home replacement, is there any way i can get the widgets jus to show w/o having LP as defult home?

I don't think so.
