LauncherPro Plus or ADWLauncher EX?

I dont use widgets.

The widget resize on homescreen is a huge MUST though. That and swipe gestures. And Cube transition.

I'm like you, i only have a handful of widgets over my 3 screens. Less is more!

You can resize the widgets in Go too

see heres what im thinking.. you can either have loads of widgets and many on 1 page etc... or just no widgets or very few... i think i prefer to have less because it just seems more functional and uses less battery as widgets always update dont they

Widgets I have: Pure Calendar, Pure Messenger (for Twitter feeds), Winamp, SwitchPro (1 button for reboot and 4 buttons for other stuff), Beautiful Widgets, and 3G Watchdog.

Some widgets are a must for me, because they can display the needed information without any clicks. These widgets for me relate to the clock, weather, agenda and tasks. 7 screens is good to have.

Sorry I meant I dont use the launcherpro widgets.

I mainly have desktop visualiser shortcuts on 3 screens. I have a pure grid calendar and messenger, Set CPU, audio manager, system info and current widget

I just switched from LPP, where I was using a 3-screen setup (LP Calendar and Friends widgets full screen on one screen each & folder shortcuts on the centre screen), to Go Launcher EX plus Pure Calendar & Pure Messenger.

On the widget front, Pure Calendar and Messenger have loads more options that the LP widgets and they're skinnable, so no comparison there. Those 2 widgets are well worth the 3 or so quid I spent on 'em.

As for functionality, Go does everything I used LPP to do incl. animated screen transitions, swipe gestures & unread message notifications on the dock and has some extras (more functional app drawer & ability to move homescreens around in helicopter view).

I still have LPP installed (as I paid for it) but unless the future updates that the dev's got up his sleeve blow Go out the water, I think I'll stick with the switch.

Completely agree with pure. Brilliant. Only annoyance between messenger and grid is the skins aren't all the same. Many are unique. Wonder if I can make my own?

can I just say... I have put about 5 widgets on my homescreens today... will that make my batter worse as they will have to update? like audio manager which updates every 5 minutes (i set it to)?

Same here. Using Go Launcher and will probably get rid of LP completely. I put 9 screens, got different themes, changed apps drawer, love the easy one touch uninstall feature, helicopter view (Hello Sense UI), etc.
It works as smooth as LP.

i might give GO Launcher a try

Yeah, that annoyed me too. That, and the fact that the control bar is on top with the agenda widget and on the bottom with the messenger (my OCD kicked in when I saw that). Right now I'm using the Eclair skin so it's not that noticeable though.

 

[SUroot]

Yeah I set eclaire up yesteday with 50% transparency as had on same screen, but now Ive consolidated a coupel of screens so have one on each. I really like "Sticker" in Messenger and "blue" in grid. doesn't look too bad on different screens.

Sorry if it's answered in here somewhere but anyone know why shading in wallpaper looks banded in LauncherPro? Quickly tried the new MIUI build and it's blended nicely so must be something to do with graphics settings but don't know where to look to change it

In most non-Sense ROMs I've used, my wallpapers get distorted, like 16 million colors aren't being used but in Sense it's perfect and you can't see the gradiant shading that distorted pictures shows.

 

[EddyOS]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Tad annoying really!
