I'm only using three screens currently; the left one contains nothing but a LiveBookmarks folder (which remains open to replace the HTC Bookmarks widget) and the right screen has wi-fi/BT/GPS widgets, AudioManager and a few oft-needed config/maintenance apps.
 
Those photos look great viewing them on your phone

Wish it was as easy to take screenshots on a normal Hero, without having to download this and that onto my pc. Wonder if it is possible for an app to be made for un-rooted phones to do this?

The pure messenger widget by Francois Deslandes is great...that guys slowly taking over my phone lol

I had already downloaded and installed the SDK so the DDMS tool was handy.

Ooh, hadn't noticed he'd released that one. Off to take a looksee....

And then blank, if you guys can think of anything useful I could add, please do tell.

Incase you were wondering those icons (white power and xbox controller) are menus.

I would use PandaHome if it had a dock option (as in a static dock, not a pull out icon list ;) )
