@mrk: Looking good, missing a couple of things. I would hide the status bar at the top. Get yourself the Digital Clock Widget and smack that on your middle homescreen.

Also, the app links you have on your right home screen. Are those really needed? I think you have pretty sweet set up there. You can set 3G watchdog to be in your status bar but only when 3G is active. Not sure what the battery symbol is for but surely the battery % mod replaces that? The square icon looks like the app draw?

I never really bothered to change the screen 3 app icons but yeah they're not needed to be there so I've enabled the 3rd dock swipe in launcher pro, created custom dock icons for each and have mapped those apps and setting screens to the dock.

They were (from right to left)

Wifi settings / Manage Applications (useful in FroYo) / Application Battery Time Usage screen (very handy again to see what apps have used most battery) and lastly 3G Watchdog which I've now removed completely as I only check it a few times a month if even that so can launch from app menu.

I don't like the digital clock widget on homescreen, no need when I don't use it as I have kaloer clock enabled when the dock is plugged in at the desk. I also use the notification bar to view notifications (strangely!) so I do not want that hidden,

That's the way to go (Y) What I do is use something like Apps Organizer and created a "Tools" and "Games" label, and launch them directly from the dock. Helps if you have a lot of tools/games.

Ahh, I see now. I personally use Timeriffic to automate the WiFi turning on/off etc etc, as my daily routine doesn't change much. Manage Applications is something I rarely go to anyway, as I do all of that via AppBrain app, and the site. I can understand the battery one, as I have the same function on my Extended Controls widget on my Desire.

Or you could look at your watch :D The notification bar is only hidden on the homescreen. It still appears normally when using any other menus and stuff. You can still access it on the homescreen if need be, just thought it would make your homescreen look a little more sleeker, and cleaner.

Aye that is how I used to have it but I use the bar even when not running an app, I have my phone docked on a cradle on my desk so like I mentioned before I use the noti bar to see what the status is of messages and so on and whether it's worth me lifting my arm to click buttons otherwise I cba moving from a comfy position :p

Mine:

Each row with the three most used apps, and then a folder with all the rest off the apps that fall within the same category on the right. I'm diggin' it :woot:

How does the rest of the pages look? Like to see how people categorize their apps, trying to find the best for me :p

Also how did you get that arrow in the folder names?

Nothing much has changed.

Using the swipe functions on Launcher Pro to minimise the need to screens. Also the first app i've bought for the phone smile.gif
