Help Change default messaging widget on homescreen?

[dynas7y]

Is there any way to get a program such as handcent sms to open by default when you hit the homescreen messaging icon instead of the stock messaging? I like handcent, but I just hate having the icon and that it says handcent on the homescreen

I don't know if you have tried this, but try chomp sms from the market. It has an attractive sms widget

If you search for 'SMS widget' in the market, there are a few options.
