How do I get the beautiful widgets time/weather widget to be more compact like this? mine is taking up about 40% of the screen and I can't figure out how to get it smaller.

Use the "Smaller Home" widget.

I've tried to research it a bit but I'm getting lost on this forum.

Is there an app to make using Google Docs easier? Seems like that would be handy, right?

I've noticed that when first starting up, certain apps start on their own. Killing the ones I don't need seems to have speed up my G1, however the Android operating system is designed to kill apps of it's own accord when it needs the memory.

New to droid universe, love it so far. I too thought I would get a task killer after reading thru some threads. I had it for a 2 day's and noticed the battery def drained QUICKER with it than without it. I uninstalled the ATK app and I am happy so far with the performance.

People seem really divided on this issue, but for now I am just going to trust the DX to do the right thing.

I wrongly merged this thread into another unrelated one. (Checked the wrong box)..

I went through the newly merged thread and picked out the posts one by one to put them back as this is a fine thread. I didn't want to lose it.

I went to the developer's website and purchased LauncherPro Plus, but other than that all you need to do is play around with the settings and dock layout until you find out how you like it.
