Can someone tell me in detail how to get the big clock similiar to the HTC style on the captivate? I got this phone yesterday and am a total NOOB. I downloaded LauncherPro, but honestly dont know what it does or how to use it...lol. Gotta love coming from an iPhone.

The clock is a widget that you add to your home screen. You can add widgets by pressing and holding down on an open area of the homescreen, that will popup a box asking you what you want to add.

That particular widget is Fancy Widget, and has been discontinued since HTC sent them a cease and desist, so i don't think you can search and find in the marketplace. You can get the widget by using a barcode scanner and scanning the QR code:

Thanks. Thats pretty cool. One more question. Some have the weather on there. I tap mine and it says no weather details. What am I doing wrong?
 
I think the weather goes by gps. If I manually refresh mine, the city I work in changes from the city I live in but the temp only sometimes changes.
 
I had just turned mine back on from Airplane mode before I took that scree shot - so that's probably why my clock is off. Currently it's showing the right time.
 
Interesting how much time a person will put into this. I had to flash the orignal rom back down the other night (long story...other threads). The next morning my wife asked "What time did you come to bed?". I said "Not too late, just after 12:00" She said "Roger....its just a phone!", I said "No its a Super Computer".:D

Anyway...here's what I have at the moment:

For potential question:

  1. Launcher Pro
  2. Pure Calendar Widget (scrollable)
  3. Battery Left Widget
  4. Beautiful Widgets - Home and Weather
  5. Beautiful Weather Live Wallpaper
  6. Apps Organizer (Great app. Much faster and more flexible folders)
  7. Various Icon Paks
  8. Lots of time, and fun :p
  9. FTP - Swiftp: no cable hook to phone and manage files
  10. NOTE: While you will notice that I have Advanced Task Killer showing in the top bar, I am abandoning that, and moving to AutoKiller (look it up! Great stuff)
