I'm sure we'll see some great things here.
Stuck for quick reference and sharing
I will post mine later, need my home computer to get some of my old items on but I plan on trying to build out a new icon set over the weekend for this.
Man, the Space Shuttle built in picture is awesome.
(Using ADW.Launcher)
thanks to koush
Basically I brought over a similar theme design from my HTC Desire. Still tweaking the dock icon fonts and wall paper. It's a work in progress.
Nexus S is my first android phone. Everyone's got amazing screens. How do i get one of these? All the help and suggestions are highly appreciated.
This is where I started, great for seeing many of the different widgets available to you.

Wallpaper you just need to search around but wallbase.net has been my go to.
Finally, to change dock icons and various other things, I use Launcher Pro, you can get it in the market. My dock icons I made myself.

welcome to the android community
in a nutshell...read, everything you need to know is in this forum. you can do slight modifications with new launchers (adw or launcher pro) but to really make significant changes (complete themes, fonts,etc) you will need to root. (needed to do screen captures as well)

Hello guys!
You can try this mod on you Android.
The settings are is in Russian,so you can post here photo of settings,and i will translate their for you.
How to install:
If you have not installed the LP, or remove the settings before the installation: just install the application convenient for you.
If you already have an old version of the LP modes Sens, reinstall. I'm doing it this way: I write in ADB adb install-r <a link to an application>
EDITED BY MOD - WAREZ IN POST:

Hello!
You'r welcome!
Use adb command in a terminal on your computer.
I have looked through the APK provided by the OP, and ALL this is (and this should come as no surprise to anyone) is a repackaged LauncherPro APK with a Sense dock. I also assume that this runs on an outdated version of LauncherPro, given the filename (LauncherPro_SenseMod_0.8.0.apk) whereas LP is currently on version 0.8.2.
This seems completely superfluous and unnecessary, given that all of the changes this "mod" makes can be done without replacing LauncherPro, just by storing the proper images on your SDcard and using LP's built-in customization. The only changes in this mod that can't be done through LP's built-in customization are the trash can and home icons shown when deleting icons or when in the app drawer. If there are any other changes, I certainly can't see them.

Absolutely not. HTC Sense widgets require an HTC framework, and this "mod" does not provide anything of the sort. It also doesn't change the status bar to black, obviously, as that is something stored in the phone's framework. This is, again, just a repackaged LP.
I assume what the OP meant was that you can use the HTC Sense "lookalike" apps that have been on the market for ages. That is, Weather Widget & Toggles, Fancy Widget, or Beautiful Widgets. These apps have been out for a long time and do not require this "mod" in any way.

Where did you see that I talked about a real Sense, there are discussions of programs and widgets like Sense, carefully read the topic, and you'll understand what's being discussed.

Version of the mod and the LP version are two different things.
Well you told a member two comments up that he could use Sense widgets using your LPP mod.
So.. Yeah.
Since Sense widgets are dependent on Rosie to work they will never work with LPP
you can find a sense dock anywhere without installing this so called "mod". I can't believe you said to the guy he can use sense widgets on launcher pro when in your op, you are clearly not using sense widgets. You even put links to those that just imitate htc sense widgets.

Yes,this is imitate,please read the topic.
Nope he meant the sense widgets, you need to read properly. And its obvious that sense widgets won't work on lpp, so why tell him it does? Also your op says nothing about imitating sense widgets.
This is a pointless mod as everyone knows you can't use sense widgets on lpp. So why give links to apps we already know.

It's not my mod, I shared, who wants to download! And it's not just the dock!
It looks horrible. The ADW mod in this forum is MUCH better
The TITLE is "HTC Sense on any Android" and is VERY misleading. Not saying that the OP os purposely misleading but reading through his posts maybe some things are lost in translation...... I agree, this is "sense-less" mod/thread!

well after reading these comments, i guess this is not the way to go.
So what is the best way to go about getting the htc sense clock + weather on a non htc device?
those are the only two things I want.

Hey all,
Recently saw the thread about peoples home screens and saw some really nice ones.
I have a question though about launcher pro and I can't find any tutorials or solutions for it online.
In short when using launcher pro it gives you a default of 5 shortcuts on the dock for each screen (maximum of 7 screens I think)
I've seen some setups where people have replaced the shortcut image with a word (ie messages, phone, internet)
I want to do this but everytime I try to change the image for a word it shrinks it down to a set size to fit in with the 4 other shortcuts on the dock, I'd like to do it so the word takes up the space of two shortcuts.
Basically I want it to look like the dock at the bottom of this one:
img40.imageshack.us/img40/3710/snap20100911025522.png
(sorry couldn't make it a link and post)
Or at least similar, does anyone know how to do this? I'm using Launcher pro, would I need Launcher pro plus?
Thanks!

You don't need launcherpro plus but what you do need is that exact launch bar or you need to make one yourself. The way that look was achieved is that there are no actual visible icons on that bar, instead they made a .png of a bar with the text where they wanted the icons to be and then used transparent icons to actually place the shortcuts. I believe SonnySekhon has a bunch of docks like that in his theme thread and you can pick and choose one. If you can't find a transparent icon, I'll post one later but I'm getting ready to leave in a few minutes so I can't do it now.

Here is a little something special from me, i think it will help you in re-creating that home screen, its an invisible icon. Just run your mouse over it to see exactly where the pic is. Its hard to see cause its invisible . Plus a drawer icon incase you want it.
I really like it, nice look.

Hello, no you do not have to be rooted to install launcher pro. I like ADW ex it seems more intuitive but launch pro is good too. Hope this helps.

Thanks. The idea for me is to have everything on one screen and with Launcher Pro, you get the extra screen (notice no borders) and the widgets can be resized.
You do not need root to install launcher Pro but keep in mind it is not designed for tablets so some tweaking of the settings is necessary. There is a thread on this already I think in Xoom General forums which covers this.
Also, the background is using the Live Aquarium live wallpaper. I have not noticed any lag with Launcher Pro or this live Wallpaper as others have reported. It may be because I only use one home screen.
