This idea was stolen from lgldrgdlr in the Incredible forums.
Directions for taking screenshots(again taken from this post in the Incredible forum).
*NOTE: I'm not sure if you'll need it, but I needed to install JavaSE to do this. I installed the JDK version.
-Download the SDK from here: Android SDK | Android Developers
-Once SDK is downloaded, run "SDKSetup.exe" and install platform 2.1 and
the drivers if necessary. If you've already downloaded HTC Sync, you
should have the drivers. If not, go here: HTC Mobile Phone Support - HTC Aria? (AT&T) - Downloads
-Enable USB debugging on your phone:
menu>settings>applications>development>check USB debugging
-After you have downloaded the SDK and HTC Sync, navigate to the tools folder of the SDK, right-click on the "ddms.bat" file and send to desktop as a shortcut. When you click on it from the desktop, the debug monitor will open.
-In the new window that opens you should see your device listed. Select it
and then click device>screen capture
If you have something other than the stock widgets let us know what they are!
Here's mine, it's pretty simple for now but I'll play with it more!

I try to keep my screens fairly clutter free. Right now I don't use the 2 most outer screens but that may change.
Just wanted to show off my fireworks live wallpaper for the Fourth of July, and hope you all celebrating it have a happy one.(Well you cant really tell its a live wall paper)
Bump...I'd like to get some more ideas on how to lay things out. I just have gotten past the "how all of this works" stage and now I am moving to the "getting it the way I like it" stage.
I'd share mine, but I haven't yet installed a screen capture app, plus it is so normal average right now no one would care.
Thanks. I have been playing around with different clock/weather combos. I love the look of HTC's default setup, but it is a little big and only updating once an hour puts it way behind. I don't know why, but it bothers me to see a shining sun on the home screen at 10pm when the sun actually set a long time ago. I have the weather channel widget right next to it, for comparison, and it is much more accurate. I know the longer between updates saves battery life, but I'd like to be the one that makes that decision. So far I haven't had an issue with battery life, so I could afford a quicker update.
Does that widget do the weather effects when you turn it on? I love the raindrops/windsheildwipers thing when it rains, makes me laugh.
Me too. It's a cool touch. The stock weather widget is so good looking, I'd love to keep it. I just wish it were more accurate. Last night at 10:30pm, the phone still showed a bright sun. I hit the refresh button (thinking it hadn't updated since the sun set), but even after the refresh, the sun was still shining. Why would it think the sun is still shining at 10:30pm?

Not on the main screen like the default one, but when you tap on the widget to get the forecast it does.
Also, I returned the phone to the standard SenseUI. I just couldn't find enough quality widgets to make LauncherPro viable IMO. Which is a shame cause I loved the bar at the bottom and the effect it had when opening the app drawer. There just aren't any good messaging, mail and facebook widgets out there. At least that I could find.

I know exactly what you mean. I tried that same Launcher and had the same problem. Im sticking with SenseUI as well. I got screen shots coming as well soon!

I loved LauncherPro, just needs some good widgets to go with it. I wish I could make the Sense Widgets work with it. Sadly I'm no programmer.

One of my friends has a motorola droid and has that LauncherPro installed....looks and feels so much better. Oh, well...i still like the Aria better! What do you think of the screens?

You're keepin it simple which I like! Though your app page layout isn't my style it's clever. Never would have though of making an X with the icons. What's the widget on your main screen? It's tiny. I think I'd be turning everything on and off all at once lol

The widget on the home screen is extended power control. You can change the size and amount of icons unlike the power control widget the phone comes with. Cost me less than $1. Its a lot easier to turn things off and on than I thought. I also have a note page two to the left which is pretty cool. Its called color note. I can place actual notes onto the screen through adding a widget....pretty cool I have to say. If I remember later ill post a screen shot to that as well.
Here are my screens these are all standard icons.
I used shoot-me also unrooted.
I tried uploading the png screenshots with no luck i had to convert them to jpeg.

I played with the home screen more today and i really am liking the phone more every day.
This phone is stock non rooted.
I added icons to my sim just drop and drag method and got desktop visualizer from the market.This is all you need to make your own shortcuts.
Here are one of the icon packs: [ICONS] SimpText by UltraLinx [v1.3][Added White & Red] - xda-developers

I'm using the CM6 ROM for the Aria currently, also I'm using LauncherPro. All of the widgets seen here aside from the power control widget and the clock/weather widget are LauncherPro's new widgets. The clock/weather widget is called fancy widget. It's a Sense knock off.

This widget can be made using adw launcher for free.When you add power control to your screen it will give you an option to resize it just use 1x1 and thats it.
