For those of you who have seen the 2.1 Launcher made by arctu (over at XDA) and really want it, but don't want to flash over to Koush's ClockworkMod recovery to use his CyanogenMod ROM, you can get practically the same thing without going through all that work.
Arctu created the HelixLauncher, which is just a regular launcher with the same capabilities as his launcher2 (a.k.a. docking icons) minus the 2.1 launcher features (e.g., 3d app drawer). Definitely worth checking out if you've seen/used his launcher2. It's incredible.
I personally haven't used HelixLauncher as I have Koush's CM ROM, but I would definitely check this out if I didn't.
