LauncherPro. Big thread on this already. Just do a search. Would link it, but it's too time consuming from the phone.

Scrollable widgets, 5 rows instead of 4 and the scrollable fixed dock at the bottom do it for me. Also getting rid of the ugly icon backgrounds was a huge plus. TouchWiz is so cartoonish looking, and it's bad enough I still have to look at the icons in the status bar that way.

If I was to switch from Touchwiz to Launcher Pro, would I lose any of my setting, either for the phone, or on apps?

You have to create your home screens from scratch if that's what you're asking. Well worth it. Takes five minutes. Adding apps to the home screen is as simple as press and holding the app icon from the app list and then placing it on thbe home screen. So much quicker than the long press on the home screen, add shorcut, program and so forth...

After so much talk about Launcher Pro, I just installed it on the morning... man, what a great app.

I own a Nexus S, and I thought I would never want to change the way the already simple home screen behave... but I was dead wrong.

Changed my home screens to 3 instead of five, the scrolling row buttons is also amazing.

Everyone else who didn't try the app should do it.

You will not lose anything, but you will have to set up new screens on LP. You can switch between LP and TouchWiz and your TouchWiz will be just how you left it. In theory, you can set up Touchwiz for work and LP for Play if you wanted too (or vise versa) and it might work better than Sprint ID for that purpose. Since you can switch so easily, you can play with setting it up, and just switch back to TW if you don't have time. I see this as a no lose situation.

$15 :eek: Wish they had a free demo version that you could try for like a week. I guess I could return it within 15min, and get a refund if I didn't like it, but thats not much time to try out a launcher.:eek:

If you go to their website they will back you with a refund for a couple hours, they know 15 minutes is not enough time to properly evaluate it :p

So if you buy it and dont like it and its only been a couple of hours you just have to go to their website and request a refund :)
