Ok, so I just installed Apex and am having the same issue with the Wallpaper that I did with Go. When I select the wallpaper, it wants to crop it into a portrait format that crops the ends when scrolling. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

its a TouchWiz limitation, not an issue with your launcher...TouchWiz doesn't use wallpaper scrolling...so it wants to crop the image to fit a single screen...

I think its BOB clock widget...Yes...I was using that too....But it dont show the right time always..Need to refresh it most of the times...but it is an awesome clock widget..!!!!!
im using One More Clock widget like said above...checking out the "legit" version (Blur) right now lol
Edit:
1. The actual Blur version of the clock(interactive one) REQUIRES the Blur Launcher
2. The Blur Launcher isn't bad AT ALL
3. The interactive Blur widget is SICK
4. there is no way to tie the Blur widget to open our alarm section...so we would probably need to install Motorola's alarm apk as well...
5. wish there was more customization in the Motorola launcher (of course)
just for reference...first picture is Nova Launcher with OMC widget "Chrome Rings" second picture is Motorola Blur Launcher with stock "Circles" widget
IMO the actual Motorola Circles Widget is above and beyond THE BEST clock/weather widget on Android...if a dev can figure out how to make it work with third party launchers/apps...im all over it...as it is right now i just miss to much of Nova's customization to run the Moto Blur launcher full time

Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that some folks had it working with their own wallpaper. It works fine with the Samsung and Apex wallpapers. Does anyone know where they're located?
ADW Launcher Ex set to 5 rows
Easy Clock Widget HD Widget 1x1 Switch (Wifi)
Simple Calendar Widget
Various icons changed
Email folder contains Gmail & Stock (Exchange) Email for work but with matching Google-esque icons
(LMS is actually Squeezebox from Logitech, but they now call it Logitech Media Server so I changed the name and icon)

NM. I installed QuickPic and when I went to set my wallpaper in Apex, I selected QuickPic to process it. Tada, fulling scrolling wallpaper.

here is mine so far, using the stock launcher. I've tried all the various launchers out there, Nova, GO, Apex, ect.... I like something about them all, but they each have something about them I don't like, so for now im staying stock. The one I've gotten closes to liking is GO, but Im not ready to pull the trigger yet.
Anyway, here is my screen. The problem I encountered today was changing out the App Drawer icon, it really doesn't seem like its possible, you can't even move it around in the dock Heck I could live with the icon, I just want the text to disappear....

I decided to give apex a run and WOW.. it is battery smooth just like touchwiz! After I tried nova (for some reason scrolling was slightly jittery for me) I thought all launchers would be the same, but this launcher has really impressed me.. I'll note that I've noticed a slight decrease in battery life though. But. Not enough to uninstall it. I love it's features. One touch calling/texting is brilliant. But most of all I just needed something with no lag whatsoever.
Anyways so I'll post my current wallpaper and also a screens of it doing one of its cool animations..

What are you using to get the icons to do that? Very nice wallpaper btw.
If you could PM or rehost that would be nice....would like to try it out.
Thanks for reminding me
As requested here's a link. Please note however to run the widget you will need to use the Motoblur Launcher included in the release (which may be a deal killer for some) but to be honest it's nowhere near as bad as previous builds of Motoblur.

It's the "cross" homepage scrolling animation. Its only available on the paid version. I just purchased the paid version to support the devs, free one was fine for me.. but I gotta admit there are some cool features with the buy version.
