Is there a non-rooted non-sdk way to take screenshots on this phone?

Not that I know of, but you can probably find something in the marketplace

No, the only ways are to be either rooted or through the sdk.

I thought that the touchwiz was pretty ugly in all of the videos, but it actually doesn't look bad on yours. I like how the dock is transparent.

you can change your apps in your dock
go into the appdrawer, hit menu, change the sorting to customized
hit menu, goto edit, then you can move the crap in the dock

Thanks. I'm using LauncherPro with the Froyo dock, Beautiful Widgets for the clock with the "plain grey" weather skin, BattStatt for the battery, SwitchPro for the controls along the bottom of the screen.
Not sure if I'm fully content with it yet though. But it's close, I think.

Fancy Widget is a good replica.
Free version of it was mentioned in one of the above posts

As an iPhone user since day one in 2007, I'm really enjoying the customization of various screens (still a fan of iOS, though, the world isn't black&white, you know). I am having a lot of fun with this phone.

Folks, the HTC clock widget is FancyWidget, which is no longer in the market because HTC sent them the old cease and desist. You can probably download the .apk from somewhere though.

Weather and Toggle Widget ($1.99) has a skin that is pretty much identical to what you have in your screen shot. Go into options and select "Clock skin downloader" and download either the c"lock-default" skin or the "h7c-clock" skin... they appear to be identical.
Beautiful widget has some that are fairly close, but those two pm Weather and Toggle really nail it. Also, I like the weather/forecast data on Weather and Toggle more than what's on Beautiful Widget.

The dock is from Launcher Pro. There are several dock styles to choose from, and comes with it's own set of icons for some apps as well. The clock widget shown, as Maerlim mentioned, is Beautiful Widget. I have since switched to Fancy Widget though.

I wish that there was a way to turn off some of the the default notification bar icons. Now that I have a clock on the home screen, having it on the bar feels redundant. If I get a better battery indicator icon, I'd like the default one to go away as well.

Is the inability to take screenshots natively an Android issue or specific to the Galaxy S/Captivate?
Any idea if 2.2 will address the lack of this very handy function?
