Aww
I thought you meant removal / modding of the launcher within Desire to be less intrusive / such a waste of space
Personally, I love the Desire rom but the HUGE launcher wasting so much space at the bottom if quite the eyesore

Just what I'm after, Desire phone app blows chunks. Keep up the good work fella!

New weather effects?

Can we do this on our HTC Heros? If so, what ROM can do this?

Also interested in this but you can get Beautiful Widgets from the Market. Does the exact same thing.
Beautiful Widgets doesn't quite do it like this though. That has a dedicated screen where you have to click on the weather first, this looks like it is always snowing or raining on the homescreen.
This would be awesome. Beautiful Widgets only affects the actual widget itself.
thats most likely gonna come with 2.1 it was gonna come with the stock hero but they took it off becuase they thought it was gonna make the phone a little laggier?idk but it was on a early release of HTC Sense that never made it when the phone released
It is part of 2.1 the files are called weather wallpapers I found whist digging for all the stuff needed for friendstream

Skinning ChompSMS Widget

So I use chompSMS all the time, tried everything else around and it allows me to reply quickly to txt when i need to. Recently I been working on creating some themes but haven't got things to where I want to release them. I Bought the extended controls on market and really loved the customization. More colors would be nice but I thought using the same idea or other apps such as chomp would be great. As of right now I skinned my widget and things are not perfect but, I will get it there soon enough. Maybe at some point I could build an app that would allow you to customize these widgets and apps.
Here is a screen shot of what I did to mine. If you understand how to edit png files and install apps then the process isnt too hard. PM me if you want the instructions other wise i found the widget backgroun in /res/drawable-port-hdpi. From what I can see most things in it could be customized.

Possible Sense 2.1 Status bar Modification (Read More)

Ok This idea came to me earlier today, sense 2.1 roms (Speedy ports) have a recently used apps bar in the notifications menu. Well I found a better use for it,
Instead of seeing the app you just closed why not display common everyday apps? e.g. phone, flashlight, facebook, twitter, camera. See that way you don't have to run around your UI to find what you want, It's simply a drag and drop away

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The con is this.
Making the apks run in a list and then closing (background) constantly may effect you wanting to see your recently used apps (The one where you just long press home button and it displays) those apps the first 4 or so will be which ever default you have set up. any way I'm seeking some help with this I'm not new but nor am I marinated in sense feature modifying.
So are any oldies in to assist?

Is there a stock Rosie to show # of missed calls ?

I have gotten back into running pure stock vanilla Android, just liking the simplicity of it. I am rooted with Oxygen ROM, which is the basic stripped down original OS. This phone is crazy fast, ans smooth as butter, LOVE this phone Only Nexus line of phones from here on out for me.
Anyways, with this pic of my home screen, is there a way to have a little red # pop up just above the phone dialer icon on the bottom Rosie bar ? And also is there a stock looking Rosie with the message/text icon instead of the internet ?
Thank you

Rosie is part of Sense, you don't have it in AOSP roms. The only time you'll see Rosie on a Nexus S is in a Sense port.
As far as the launcher, it looks like you already found what you're looking for here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004744.

The Motoblur UI has taken a lot of flak for being slow, cumbersome and “downright useless” as a friend of mine succinctly put to me some time ago. It seems that things have changed for the better, at least with the Android 4.0 version of the overlay from Moto, and if you want proof of that claim, you can try now to know for yourself.
Pulled from a Droid RAZR, the launcher is now ready to be installed on any non-Motorola device, with a caveat that you should be running ICS. It has already been said to work on the HTC Sensation and other devices and there is also a choice of two launchers with different homescreen styles, so take your pick.
Head to the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577123 thread to grab the APKs and to get some specific instructions on how to get the UI on to your Android device.
