Home Icons shows yellow when selected.
Just thought I'd give back a little. I like and use the "wofty" theme which in turn, uses yellow text in the start menu and on the home screen, so I edited the Home icons to show yellow color when selected. Use like any other custom icons, clocks or whatever. They're just a little different when you select them. I just wanted a complete theme w/ background, text and icons all visually working together.
great job. sorry to sidetrack for a moment, but that home plugin for bluetooth.... i have a BT headset i'd love to make a "quicklink" for like you did in those screens.... can you explain how you did it?
EDIT: I just found out it's called the "HTC BT Quicklink" plugin. Can I get a link to this plugin?

Here, here. Tried to search and came up short.

LOL, sorry guys. I logged out for a while, but it's all good. I see you found the cab. Sorry I didn't get back sooner.
does anyone know of an app/modification (metamorph?) that will allow us to "dock" some apps so that they are accessible in every screen?
not like a widget that pops up a carousel (like some apps offer)...
i mean more like the "star" of favourite apps/docked apps that is accessible on every screen in open home..for those of you who have used it
it's to the far right on every home screen, you swipe the star and you have like 6 apps (or so) accessible....
any ideas? thanks!
Anderwebs ADW launcher sounds like something you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550
HelixLauncher also does this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683
I would have to say that Anderwebs launcher is quite superior to helix in performance, but they are both great launchers.
Thanks for the quick replies!
Helixlauncher almost looks like a home replacement from the descriptions...
I do want to keep my regular home app..since it has 9 screens
I just wanted to add the two main things I liked from alternate home apps
I.e., the app dock...and if I can find it, a way to "name" each home screens, on the bottom, next to the app drawer icon...
I'll test out the first option to see if it has an app dock without modifying my app drawer icon, hehe

Helix can have 9 screens too.
Hehe..thanks...but I guess I'll just stick to keeping my most used apps on the main screen and if I am on screen 9 and need to get to screen 5, I'll just hit the "home" button again, hehe
But I do have another modding question...I am kind of highjacking my own thread,hehe
is there a way to add the "dots" that indicate which screen you are on to either side of the app drawer icon? (Like screen 5 would have 4 little dots on each side?)
...or failing that, a way to label each screen? (Apps, games, etc...)
I saw one app that did this...but it had horrible reviews...so any app or personal way to modify it would be great...thanks again!
Definitely try out the ADW launcher... it has more customizer than even you would know what to do with!
http://www.jbthemes.com/anderweb/adwlauncher.html
it does look/sound good...
however, if you have to install it the same way you flash a rom, i don't think i can do it as my bootloader is locked...(telus milestone)
any instructions on the actual "flashing" part? the only ones i see is to change the zip file to "update.zip" and apply it from recovery mode, but it says invalid signature when i do that and then does nothing...
or can i just install the launch.apk file in the zip?
LauncherPro is faster than ADW.
It's just that you can't set your own app dock, there's one provided for you, it's shortcuts to Phone, Contacts, Messaging and the Browser.
Helix can have 9 screens too.

i don't want to modify any of the actual settings i already have..i like the way my phone is customized...
therefore, i'd like ADW if you can really pick and choose nearly every item you can implement...this would be best
also, as a sidenote, does anyone know how to flash it to the milestone?

if you're looking for some serious customization, look for sweeter home on the internet. it's in beta (for like 1 1/2 years now) so it's not on the market but i had fun fooling around w/it. it's basically a home replacement app that you design yourself from the ground up. kinda steep learning curve at first but you can always download someone else's theme and keep it or even tweek it how you like. there's even forums too if you need help.

maybe i'm way off target, just thought it would interest you
thanks, i'll check it out...
but i wasn't originally looking for a home replacement..i had open home before (and this one might be better) and I just didn't like the "bulk" of having an extra home app
thanks again though, i'll still give it a shot, hehe

ADWLauncher has tons of extra features, and they're all toggle-able. If you don't like the dock, turn it off in settings. Want more screens? Settings. Want the Galaxy S drawer? Settings. Want the home screens to scroll faster? Settings.
hehe
i know
but the problem is i can't find a way to flash it on the milestone...
i'm looking for a tutorial or someone that has successfully flashed anything to the milestone =-\

You can now download adw.launcher from the market for an easy install
I may be way off-base here but my wife is using "Open home" on her Cliq (because she couldn't stand MotoBlur's ugly UI) and it has everything that you're looking for: Number of screens, workspace labels, dock, dots, etc) and it seems like it's running OK on her phone. I know that it's a "replacement" home but it shouldn't be a problem on the phone with some spare RAM (i.e. any phone except for G1 and original MT3G)
Good luck.
this here is blackman mod
has a diffrent ui style than
what were used to seeing
im running on stock fascinate havent
tried it on roms but im positive itll
work as well
Disclaimer;i am not responsible for any damage
you do to your phone.
Instructions;
[not hard at all so simple]
__download Desktop Visualizer
__download Icons/Wallpapers
http://digitalstylewars.com/Downloads/Manup456_UI_StyleMOD.zip
__Now you have to have LauncherPRO-Plus installed so do that.
__Last app needed for this is Desktop Visualizer so get that as well.
__The next step is setting one or your custom wallpapers you created using the template or one of the wallpaper I already made
__This part is needed but kinda sucks knowing the time it takes to setup home screens, but clear every widget off the screen and your ready for the next step.
__O.k now push menu and preference/disable wallpaper scrolling check that box and hit your back button which brings you back to your launcherPRO menu options and select Advanced settings/5 Icons rows in homescreen also check this and go back to homescreen.
__Now we are ready to start adding the content to the diff screen, hold the screen and when the popup screen comes out select widgets now select Desktop Visualizer Small and it will ask for a image and the function you want it to perform. The image will be in a folder on your S.D so select the icon you want and proceed to set the action you want for that icon.
__Once your done with selecting the icon and the action you need to delete all the text where the name is and you done push o.k.
__Everyone is probably thinking this is small, but hold the icon until its able to be moved but don’t move it for a sec then let it go and a orange box pops up around it so drag it out to the right and its good.
__The large icons are easy they are the same as the first one we did just select large instead of small and your good just select the action and that should be it.
__and thats it Enjoy

This is just the Launcher2.apk with a few Gingerbread icons. This goes great with this mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863860
Rename the file to Launcher2.apk and copy it to /system/app using root explorer.
This just changes the phone icon, web browser icon and app icon in the dock.
Enjoy!
Edit: Added screenshot.

The app needs to be edited because that button points to the stock Android dialer, which is not used by Captivate.

The one on the market worked for me with the tw dialer.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/gingerbread-launcher/com.modaco.android.launchergb
I also tried the one from the market under "Gingerbread Launcher" and it installed perfect. Once I clicked the home button it asked which launcher to use, I mainly use launcherpro since it seems you can tweak things a little more but I checked it out and it kept my same background image. I did NOT uninstall the stock launcher in Perception so I had 3 choice to pick. Looks pretty cool though, I may stay with launcherpro though due to setting it up different with whatever buttons I want to use at the dock.
Cog'd Perception or Cog'd 2.3b6 depending on my need for flash addiction
icons
Just download the icon pictures and then edit right on your phone, then put them in your dock. So easy even a caveman could do it.

i hate that the right button is dedicated to enter the personalize screen when i can get there from a long press on the screen or with the menu button. is there anyway to change this to a messaging button or browser button or anything more useful?
i guess not w/o rooting the phone but after that... sky's the limit right??
Agreed wouldn't mind seeing that be internet shortcut or something more useful

There is a custom skin apk I downloaded the other day the changed it to the internet but I didn't like the skin. Also there is a skin apk that changes it to a camera button.
All none rooted BTW

Were these Sense skins or just another launcher with a Sense theme? I know alot of Launchers on the market have customizable keys at the bottom.
I was looking for the same thing the other day. Can't believe this isn't just a standard option.

Ok, thats why I asked. I was 99% sure you couldn't change the links in Sense.
You'll have to wait for modified rosie apks to emerge (or flashable themes that do the modifying for you)
