Root Rooted w/Sholes 2.0.3 change unlock screen?

Just used the new SMUpdater to root my Droid, but don't like the revert back to the 2.0 unlock screen (half moon swipe). Anyone know if there is a way to change it back to the 2.0.1 left-to-right unlock screen?

BTW- This makes my Droid freakin' awesome.

Actually the circular movement is more natural. Move your thumb left to right while looking at it, it move in a circular pattern not straight.

The sholes 2.0.3 ROM includes the arc swipe by default unless you deselect it. It isn't an overclocked ROM, but SetCPU works well and my Droid is now running at 800 with no problems. MUCH faster transitions. So far it's been bugless for me, but it's only been overnight and an hour at work. Bluetooth, wifi, GPS all work with no problems so far. The multi-touch maps update created probkems for people with this ROM before the maps update came out, because it's running multi-touch before Google updated maps. I suspect there will be more speed bumps once Google releases a browser update to support multi-touchey goodness.

The weather only shows in Celsius when it's docked at night, though. That's going to be irritating. If I click on it to see the forecast, it is in Fahrenheit.

And lastly, the audio at full volume crackle is back.

is there any easy way to change the unlock swipe without reflashing?

It literally takes like 3-4 mins to reflash, just open the program and it will tell you it has already downloaded the rom and that it will use that one. You then select flash and it will load up the screen for 2 mins and then go through the options. But make sure you read them and deselect the ones that you don't want. I seriously have flashed probably 10 times already(long story).
