Directions for taking screenshots(again taken from this post in the Incredible forum).

*NOTE: I'm not sure if you'll need it, but I needed to install JavaSE to do this. I installed the JDK version.

-Download the SDK from here: Android SDK | Android Developers
-Once SDK is downloaded, run "SDKSetup.exe" and install platform 2.1 and
the drivers if necessary. If you've already downloaded HTC Sync, you
should have the drivers. If not, go here: HTC Mobile Phone Support - HTC Aria? (AT&T) - Downloads
-Enable USB debugging on your phone:
menu>settings>applications>development>check USB debugging
-After you have downloaded the SDK and HTC Sync, navigate to the tools folder of the SDK, right-click on the "ddms.bat" file and send to desktop as a shortcut. When you click on it from the desktop, the debug monitor will open.
-In the new window that opens you should see your device listed. Select it
and then click device>screen capture

If you have something other than the stock widgets let us know what they are!

Here's mine, it's pretty simple for now but I'll play with it more!

I try to keep my screens fairly clutter free. Right now I don't use the 2 most outer screens but that may change.

Post yours!
 
Just wanted to show off my fireworks live wallpaper for the Fourth of July, and hope you all celebrating it have a happy one.(Well you cant really tell its a live wall paper)

Bump...I'd like to get some more ideas on how to lay things out. I just have gotten past the "how all of this works" stage and now I am moving to the "getting it the way I like it" stage.

I'd share mine, but I haven't yet installed a screen capture app, plus it is so normal average right now no one would care.
 
It's a serious work in progress. Need to find some good widgets, but here's the basic idea of it. I need new wallpapers too.

Beautiful Smaller Home from the Beautiful Widgets

Thanks. I have been playing around with different clock/weather combos. I love the look of HTC's default setup, but it is a little big and only updating once an hour puts it way behind. I don't know why, but it bothers me to see a shining sun on the home screen at 10pm when the sun actually set a long time ago. I have the weather channel widget right next to it, for comparison, and it is much more accurate. I know the longer between updates saves battery life, but I'd like to be the one that makes that decision. So far I haven't had an issue with battery life, so I could afford a quicker update.

Does that widget do the weather effects when you turn it on? I love the raindrops/windsheildwipers thing when it rains, makes me laugh.

Me too. It's a cool touch. The stock weather widget is so good looking, I'd love to keep it. I just wish it were more accurate. Last night at 10:30pm, the phone still showed a bright sun. I hit the refresh button (thinking it hadn't updated since the sun set), but even after the refresh, the sun was still shining. Why would it think the sun is still shining at 10:30pm?
