Here's my home screens. Been playing around with different launchers and found one I like
By the way how do you guys get the entire screen image to post, not just the attached thumbnail?
good work. Though I hate ss launcher! :P
I tried it and it just wasn't for me.
I'm a launcher junkie and have tried as many as I can find and my top 5 are....
TSF shell
GO launcher
ADW Launcher
SPB Shell
Nemus Launcher
But launcher pro, Regina 3d, and FTL are great to. I just can't leave TSF now. It's so expensive, but for me it has been worth it. I'll post my latest config later if i remember.

Lol. I like the SS so far thank you very much! . LPP is alright, and I think GO uses up too much battery compared to the others. I've been playing SSkin and like that one also, but customization seems minimal at best. Lightning seems promising too.

I used lighting for a day. Its fun. Very different. It's very fast and very different. I ended up uninstalling though just because I like the more traditional launchers a lot more.
Go is good, but they do WAY too many updates to all of their apps (Go SMS updates almost daily, with little benefit).
When we get 4.0, I'll go back to Nova Prime. I ran it on my D2G with 4.0 and it was amazing... it has all the look and feel of 4.0's Trebuchet, but it's not limited like Treb is. Apex looks similar, but I like Nova better.
Go is good, but they do WAY too many updates to all of their apps (Go SMS updates almost daily, with little benefit).
I've been using go for a long time and at times they do push updates a lot but it's by no means daily. I've had maybe 3 updates in go sms in the past month. They have actually slowed down on updates a bit. I like getting updates though. I check the market a lot just to see if I have any because sometimes something really awesome has been added to an app. I wish certain apps updated more. I don't like it when a dev doesn't release an update because it makes me think they have stopped developing it. Like SPB shell, and ADW launcher, and Launcher pro. It's Been since january since SPB has had an update, it's been since december since ADW has, and since may of last year since launcher pro has! It's just not right! I would rather have an update every other day than once every few months or so. I always notice things in apps that could be improved, or changed, or added.
your not kidding $16 is unreal for an app..lol Looks like a badass launcher though.
It's nice. But still has a long way to go. Doesn't have crap for settings. But it's highly configurable from the UI itself. It definitely needs more in the options category. But it's been my default for a couple weeks now and I don't plan on switching. I really like the launch bar to the left. and it never lags. It's always super smooth and fluid. And it has some neat features others don't. Like one feature where after you install an app from the market when you go to the app drawer to find it the app icon is on fire, which makes it easy to find.
The widgets for it suck though. And it has these stupid props you can place on your homescreen that hang there or float around by a string. But it only has 3 of them. A cloud, a ghost, and a pumpkin. It's kind of weird and silly in my opinion.
I do think it's going to grow into something amazing though. It's already good enough to have become my default. And I have around 10 launchers installed. I used to switch between them a lot but since I started using tsf I haven't been using the others.
Ditto. I'd look at what was updated and couldn't figure out why they couldn't wait to combine with other changes. I've been told there are various teams with Go and they race to beat each other at updates and improvements.

Graphics saved as jpeg will almost always be fuzzy, so I'm just curious as to why you'd screenshots in the jpg format?
Not trying to be a jerk or anything, just curious!

PNG is clearer and better, TBH. It was developed for the first dynamic websites (PHP) and meant to improve on the GIF, which took up a ton of space for lossy quality.
There was a time when trying to view a PNG was a pain, but now-a-days, it's as easy to share/view as a JPG or GIF. Believe it or not, the BMP file is harder to view these days, which at one time was the standard for HTML image coding.
My new flavor of the DAY, I'm tellin' ya, I change it a good bit, I am quite satisfied with this one though, normally I don't just change the background, I overhaul the whole thing, but this time, just some color changes w/ a different background, I like it though, so another update, rooted it last night and put BrokenOut on it, diggin' it so far.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get ADW EX to rotate the dock icons without changing their order? I emailed the developer, but he has yet to get back to me. I had everything else set up to my liking except that.
Then I switched to Launcher Pro when I installed Broken Out (I run LP on my old Incredible). I love how the dock icons simply rotate without changing their relationships to the capacitive buttons. But ADW EX seems to work better for me in every other respect...
Looks like Beautiful Widgets Super Clock. I think that's the 4x3 size. I've got those same skins, but prefer to split the clock and use the weather 1x1 widget:
*edit* oops... I thought you were talking about the post above you. His might be Smart Clock... it looks like a skin I have for that app.

here's how mines look.this is black plaque rom with some images replaced with the optimus 4x hd ones like the battery, wifi, icons, ect. I think it looks pretty cool. One of the devs should make a rom like this, it would be bad-ass
