Show us your Desire Homescreens...

I've made some amazing changes to my phone's configuration. I'm really happy with it now. Very very simple, but I LOVE how clean it looks.

What I've done is Keep my usual dock layout (Phone, Messages, App Drawer, Gmail, Browser), but replaced the icons with a transparent block, which essentially removes icons altogether. Sure, the icons are there, but they're invisible. I know my layout well, though, so I don't need to see the icons. This leaves me with an incredibly clean looking interface, that's still very functional :D Remember my dock?

Well, it's still there, it's just invisible :p Look at this. This is my main home screen:

Interesting idea!

Lock Screen and Home Screen
- WidgetLocker is so cool - can access my most important functions without having to unlock.
- More Icons is brilliant - can put so many apps into a small spot.

Side Screens
- Various music players and toggles page
- Photo page with WallSwitch widget (automatically changes wallpaper, but allows changes on the fly).
- the dock has three different sets (one is my "installation" set and the others are my "sorted apps"

Example: The magnifying glass links to the reference folder.

I'm trying to keep things to a minimum. I pared it down as much as I could trying to make use Launcher Pro's features. Found myself not really using more than three screens since I have the rotating dock.

I'm new to Desire and loving everyones homescreens...my looks rubbish at the mo!!!

How do I make folders? and the folders using the little green men as Icons?

Thanks

Create new folders, you hold an empty space on the home screen and then select folder.

For the green men, [ICON PACK] [MORPHS] Droidz Extended |Update: 15. July| - xda-developers

Download and put oN SD card somewhere.

You need FolderOrganizer from the market to use them as application shortcuts. In the FolderOrganizer, go to "Apps", click the downward arrow next to it, press "Icon", browse to what you want to change it to and select it.

Then create a new shortcut on teh home screen by long press and selecting FolderOrganizer item.

Not sure if you can do this with folders though

If you search for "curvefish" on the market you will find them. They are used to enable/disable things such as Wifi, bluetooth, GPS. Stuff like that. Very useful since you dont have to dig through your settings.

Thanks Nightlegend, do you know what the one with the orange bubble on it does? Looks like a phone vibrating.

I'm hoping to find an app that can switch my phone from General settings (EG Loud ringer, vibrating etc) to silent with just vibrating when rings and get texts etc
