Can you tell me what widget that clock with the date and weather is?just for fun i tried to capture the transitions with drocap2....
Scale: screen moving from right to left...left side is shrinking, right side is growing...
Rotate: Screen hinges in the upper left corner and swings in/out of view...
Flip: pretty easy to see from the image how it works..
Cube: Ditto Flip

Does anyone else get a force close when trying to access Statuses or Recent folders? I can add them but the second I click on them I get a force stop message.

I use the friends widget as well. I've found that every time the widget updates, my Droid X freezes for 10-15 seconds. Anyone else see this? I posted on the Launcher Pro forums but I haven't gotten any sort of response. I love the new transitions but I can't continue to use the widget with this significant hit every 15 minutes.

Does anyone have any good dock icons that are color?
I love transitions, but needed to put a lot of stuff on the homescreens and LPP only has 7. Now that Launcher x pro's widget scrolls, I no longer need all those screens. I'm loving this setup.
Go Launcher is more stable, but has no transitions. I'd use that one if it had them, but they don't. Also LPP's widgets are superior, second only to sense ui's, imo.

I feel really stupid asking this, but I installed LauncherPro to see how it works and looks. And, um...is my screen supposed to clear out of all of my shortcuts and widgets? Am I supposed to basically rebuild my homescreens the way I'd like them again? I was kind of surprised to see just my wallpaper and a new dock and...nothing else.

Yes that is expected. Your homescreen settings do not transfer from launcher to launcher. Each one comes set to it's own default settings

With Launcher Pro, you are basically installing a launcher on top of the stock launcher so it won't import all the widgets, etc. Just add them as you see fit.

Ok. I just wanted to make sure I didn't somehow do something wrong.
Though if all it does is install over the original, should I clear my old screens? Is it going to save me any battery or lag time if I don't have essentially two layers of screens, even if one isn't being used?

Makes sense, but....if I'm rooted, does it matter if I use the Home Switcher for Froyo, or just the regular Home Switcher?

Interesting, I installed Home Switcher and cleared all the stock launcher screens. Now seems to be smoother and snappier. Maybe psychological.

Steven, you should check out Folder Organizer. Sys and Barcode on this screen are FO apps:
When the white folder icon (5th one) is clicked, any apps that don't show appear. This one is sorted by use, most frequently used first. It's also been styled with a custom color:
My Barcode icon will open a similar window.
