So good to see you once again

I thought that you were hiding from me

And you thought that I had run away

Chasing a trail of smoke and reason

Prying open my third eye








LauncherPro, with the Dreamlyfe Lux theme and icon pack
SnowStorm weather widget
Maize's digital clock widget
Text is linked to ChompSMS, nav goes to Sprint Navigation (though I also have Google's nav installed), market is linked to AppBrain, radio is linked to ScannerRadio, news is linked to NPR News.

First screen is sort of random right now - has a stock power widget and a few people I call often. Second is the main home screen, 3rd is my apps screen. Wallpaper is a stock Android or HTC wallpaper. HTC Hero w/official Sprint Android 2.1.

I just installed LauncherPro today after stumbling into this thread, and I like it... a lot. HTC Sense isn't bad, but it can be sluggish.

I am now working on stealing collecting all of the custom docks I have found and placing them onto my Android Gaming site (that I never bothered to get off of the ground) for the purposes of this thread (and myself, really, since I change themes once a week or so).

In the meantime, this site has a decent number of docks in its collection:
http://droidpirate.com/category/and...ncherpro-docks/

I'm going to see if this gallery script for Wordpress will allow for anonymous uploading. If so, I'll configure it so that you guys can upload your favorite wallpapers to it.
http://android.carchive.net/wallpapers-2/

On that topic, per one suggestion, I changed up my textual home screen a little bit.

Wallpaper: http://android.carchive.net/gallery..._1783715095.jpg

I really love this background. I realize this is a bit busy, but, eh. The rest of the screens are the Friends widget, a few folders, etc. I'm so tempted to find a way to root (if feasible since I'm on 2.2) just so I can skin Launcher Pro.

I'd also like to have an app that allows for quick theme switching, because doing it manually each time is a bit of a pain.

Yup, that's exactly what it is. Samsung uses a stand alone contacts app. Change the short cut to that but use whatever icon you'd like.

I feel like an idiot but I have to ask. How did you enable transparency on Agenda Widget?

VVV - I wonder if I'm using a different widget because I don't have any of those options. But I think I figured it out another way, I just unchecked the "background" options and now it's just agenda text over my wallpaper.

Go to its configuration screen, press the Continue and Skin button, long press the skin you are using, select Transparency, and a slider to adjust it will be shown.

No, it's fine. He's trying to change an existing icon instead of adding a new one. If you hit "Change Icon" on an existing shortcut you're only provided with LP icons and Custom. He has to choose Change Application, change it then he'll have the 3 choices for Default, LP and Custom.

Just wanted to chime in and say this worked for me, I was going about it incorrectly, thanks!

Not as clean as a lot of others, but I like it and it didn't take much effort at all. Plus it's easy for me to open my frequently used apps and view the weather quickly.



Main screen is frequently used apps and:
LauncherPro Plus

Second screen is:
SwitchPro widget
GTasks widget
Weather Forecast Widget

Wish I had a link to the wallpaper, but I don't. I may have got it in the Android backgrounds thread.

He's talking about pure calendar agenda widget, I think.

For Android Agenda Widget, go to Settings\Customize Appearance\Advanced\Customize Skin Colours\ and then tick "Skin color customization".

Then go in to Widget Color and you have options for both background and row background tints and transparancies.

Sounds complicated but once you get the hang of it you have a lot of flexibility in how it looks, I just wish it wasn't buried under so many menus!

VVVV If you want total transparancy that will work too, of course. You're just toggling the features on/off. The skin colour settings will let you set anything from totally transparant to totally opaque if you want, though.

If there's interest, I can post the psd files. I had to guess the dimensions for my phone (Droid X) and still wound up with some slight gaps, but the rounded edges make it less pronounced.

Beautiful Widgets binary clock. Launcher Pro dock is "Touch Flow Carbon".


How in the world did you just get the clock portion and not the weather? I've been using the same clock for months, and after fiddling around for an hour, can't figure out for the life of me how to get rid of the weather portion.

LauncherPro+ allows you to resize widgets. Just resize it until the weather isn't showing.

Edit: While I'm at it, here's the updated icons I'm using. Color matched all the title bars and made the Navigation icon less "flat". The status bar I'm using can be downloaded here. It's the second one down (smoked_fixed).

Yes, and it's loving useful as all gently caress. I love it. You can setup ones specifically for bus/car/bike/walk and have it open in maps or directly in navigation. (long press > shortcuts > directions & nav)

Huh...it seems neat, but I don't really see the point. I guess you use it for places you go to often, but if you go to them often, wouldn't you know the way by heart and not need navigation?

Think of it in reverse. I drive a lot and many times it's to places I've never been to and wont go back to. It's nice having a "Directions Home" short cut for wherever the gently caress I'm at.

More than anything, I use it for transit directions home from wherever the hell I am. Tells me the quickest route via bus/train. EXTREMELY useful if you use mass transit. But it's also nice on how to get home driving from some place you've never been before. I don't see how you don't see the usefulness, unless you only go to work from home and vice versa at the same times every day, or don't live in a city.

You need to uninstall regular LauncherPro and install a modified one which you can download here.
