So what exactly does this update do?
Kind of hard to tell based on the screenshots.

Absolutely fantastic! I was hoping to get something like this. A simple very useful addition. Installed like a dream over Cyan Beta 4 + Smooth Black bar(metamorph)

Overwrites your launcher.2apk with a modified one with 2 buttons for dialer and web (lower part of screen)

FCs on Launcher2 (is this the updated launcher2?)
I'm getting many FCs using this Launcher2. This is very reminiscent of the Launcher2 of the original ROM before the latest Google update.
The update corrected the FCs but I suspect that this modified version is based on the original code (with it's bugs).
I'm not sure the modified version source has been released but since the concept is good (optimizing screen real estate) it would be great to get a version based on the new corrected code.
BTW the leftmost screen drops the phone icon and the right most screen drops the browser icon (although the functionality remains). Is this a feature or a bug ?

This. I'd love to use this, but I don't use dialer enough to want it, prefer Contacts on the right and browser on the left.

A couple i saw on alldroid, not bugs being reported by me
Just wondering, the browser button doesn't go to the last viewed webpage, instead it opens a new homepage window. Is it meant to be like that?
thanks for letting us know. the other button, phone, i know some people may realize when you're in a call and you go to the homescreen, pressing the phone button from the launcher doesn't bring you back to the call in progress- it opens up a new phone dialer, which then has no effect on the current call or anything
(lots of FC's). I have a lot of problems when going in and out of landscape mode.

AdamZ over at Alldroid has a nice Metamorph for this mod. here's some screens from my Nexus

Hey Doc, We over at Nexus Nation would love for you to come post your Modded Launcher over at our site as well please. If not we would like to know if we could have your permission to post a thread with your mod with obviously all credit given to you. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[LOCKSCREEN} MyMetroLock Update: 13.4.2010

This is a variant of my quite popular WP7S Lockscreen (which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651045)
MyMetroLock
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

What's new in this version
1. hardcoded background picture (the blue metro icons)
2. left aligned text matching the Metro guidelines by Microsoft
3. new font "Zegoe" Light and Regular (will be installed with the CAB) matching the Metro design
4. possibility for your own user picture!
5. skinned notifications (except voicemail - I don't use/need that)
A word about requests and compatibility:
This lockscreen is provided "as it is". I made it for a stock ROM HTC HD2 (1.66) and it works fine for me. Feel free to modify it to your wishes but - if you do - give a small credit to this thread. There might be issues with custom ROMs and other devices - I can't change that - sorry.
What should I do if I find an error?
Just post your screenie and I'll see what I can do
Update 13.4.2010: new release as MyMetroLock
Update 13.4.2010, 15.07: fixed an error with userpic - please re-download cab!
Installation:
a) grab the cab attached below.
b) remove all other lockscreen mods than install my cab.
c) make your own picture with Photoshop or similar with the exact size of 119 x 119 pixel and save it as user.png
d) copy your "user.png" into the "lockscreen" folder in your windows directory on your device.
e) softreset
Have fun!

all versions now update with the new notification icons - see first post

I really like this lockscreen, it's so clean.
However when using a bright wallpaper, you can clearly see that the clock is cut off at the bottom.. hope you understand what I mean! Just try it out.
Also I wonder in this Link http://www.mobilitynews.net/?p=11018 , is all notification icons skinned in that version to?

Of course, here is the result:
As you can see, there are only a slight cut off on the "0" on the clock now. However as I have marked, there are some cut offs at the calendar also.

Fast answer: Only the "g" (Imorgon) is slightly cut off now, Everything else looks perfect.

[Icons] !UPDATED! Albook Icons (657 total) Dark Icons + 5 custom

**UPDATED** 7/7/10 - 5 custom icons, screen-shot updated.
So I got tired of not having certain icons, and went ahead and made 5 custom icons.
Now, I'm no artist but I rigged a blank icon in PhotoShop to match the style.
added the following 5 icons.
PTT (push to talk) using for TiKL
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SMS obvious
t Twitter obvious
Phone Icon using for google voice
XDA obvious (obviously this is a daily app, and i always have it on the front home screen)
I'm keeping the above custom separate than the original package. As I did not create the rest.
I take no credit for the original set. And have no intentions to.
These icons were not generated for android, there are some icons that do not fit for android os, and some missing.
I took the following http://stopdreaming.deviantart.com/art/Albook-extended-dark-811-icons-117250259 icons and converted from .ico to .png 64x64 to work with the evo icons.

Clock?
Just wondering....how did you get Godzson's clock to work on Fresh? Have tried multiple times and for some reason I just cannot manage it. Love the look you have going and am trying to reproduce it. Also what launcher is that? I installed the Minimalistic theme (looks great) but I prefer yours. Thanks for the help (and the icons--fantastic!)

Hey is there a Tutorial on how to use these Icons? i been searching all over and No Dice

I use folder organizer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Actually I was kinda wondering how to use them myself lol. I tried using FolderOrganizer like you suggested fdot and I was able to succesfully change the icon through the app itself but how do you get it to show that same icon in the app drawer or on the homescreen? For example, in FolderOrganizer i changed the TiKL icon to the custom ptt icon that you made but in the app drawer and home screen it still shows the default one. Would really appreciate some help! Thanks in advance

Yes would be awesome if someone could post a tutorial on how to install these

Long click home screen, choose add wiget, choose folderorganizer item, choose the app.
Wont change the app drawer that I know of. But thats not a feature I would use anyway.

I even did a full uninstall with titanium and it still gives me a fail when I try to install. Oh well I got tired of trying.

Hey, does anyone know what the "do not disturb" mode actually does? I still seem to get notifications from Google Voice about texts I get. Does it only block the calls?
Edit: It also appears the linked Google Voice isn't the latest version. Do you happen to have a link to the original source so I can request one?

I'll dig up the link and repost later this evening when I get home. Also, it turns out credit should have gone to XSoldier2000 who did the theming utilizing some of Benny879's resources.
That said, here is the latest version 0.4.1.26. I didn't realize I had both versions on my comuter and, therefore, posted the older one. I change all of my icons and it can be a pain in the @$$ to keep my folders of apps maintained.

[THEME][LauncherPro] Sense-esque for Launcher Pro

So Since launcher pro doesn't really lend itself to being completely switched to the HTC Sense layout (though it's doable), and I prefer being able to have more than 3 items on my dock anyways, I decided to make a skin Based on The Sense bar that works more in the launcher pro environment. the borders between buttons have been removes, and there is less curve, so more icons will look ok on the edges. Still I usually have to scale down any icons I use though. Anyways, here's some screenshots.
The dock was made based on this file Credit to the original author.
I have included a few of the wallpapers I made that go well with this theme, and the original HTC Sense wallpaper scaled for the DX.
I HIGHLY recommend "Wallpaper Set and Save" to apply wallpapers, as it doesn't resample images at all, and gradients will still look smooth.
I am using Webst3r's SenseX 2.2 beta theme for the notification bar and stuff.
Link
Also I am on 210 display density using LCD density changer.

}
Some of the launcher icons included are from scratch, some were modified from launcherpro's default icons.
This one is using the Labradorite.png wallpaper that I made, and the homescreen switchers for two of the shortcuts.
UPDATE V02: All the same icons the LP has by default are included in this in a form factor and style to fit.
The zip file includes a PSD file for the icons I have made already, in case you want to see my scale and make your own icons.
DOWNLOAD v02 This link is hosted by me. Please try it before using the attachment file as if there are updates to this, mine will be up to date first.

damn that looks great. actually tempts me to finally go through with deodexing (makes me hella nervous).

only the notification theme needs deodexing. the LP part will work fine without.
Thanks btw!

Looks great May use it on my N1. Shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you sir im gonna use this on my droid

Going to be updating this in a few minutes with all of the icons that launcher pro has, in form factor for this dock.
EDIT: The link now points to the newest version with the new icons.

haha yea i know, but i liked your setup so much that i went ahead and deodexed because i would like the same exact thing on my phone.
this is where you installed the theme from, right?: http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=770
right now im on the early leaked froyo, is that what you're using? a lot of ppl have posted recently saying they're getting stuck in bootloop after trying to install the SenseX theme and i think it may be because of the OTA Froyo update. so being on the leaked froyo i'm hoping this theme still works. i'll go ahead and apply the theme based on your response.

well against my better judgement i went ahead and installed the SenseX theme lol. i only installed services.jar and framework-res.apk since i'm gonna be using your LP dock and didn't want the reskinned widgets. worked great, looks great. thanks a lot!

thanks, again!

How do you install this theme on launcher pro?? im lost

I would like to have this theme installed but I have absolutely no idea how to install a launcher pro theme? Please help
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

hey how do you do that background on the app menu? thats pretty cool

thumbs up for the theme and thumbs up for listening to Junip
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the files
2. copy all the files to your SD-card
3. once installed launcher-pro press the menu key and select "preferences" --> Appearance Settings --> Dock background --> custom --> select the "dock" folder you previously uploaded to the SD-card and select the only file which is there: Sense-esqueDock.png
4. Long click somewhere in the dock for changing a shortcut --> decide which shortcut you want to use --> custom icon --> select one of the images you previously uploaded.
5. play around with the settings if you want to have scrollable dock: press the menu key and select "preferences" --> dock settings --> Number of docks and eventually --> Enable loop scrolling.
Hopes this helps..
