FYI, part of the reason it is so "FAT" is because it has the "2.1 Stock/Nexus" Static Wallpapers on board. Some of them are really nice, as far as static WPs go
Personally I would like to see a version with those stripped out... and if he adds the dock on the bottom WITHOUT an option to switch/keep the DOT NAV, I'm gonna cry :-(
My ole thumb likes the DOTS!!
Yes, i am very hopeful and wishing that he puts an option for the 4 buttons thing if he does make it...other than that..its all GOOD

lol hell yeah.
But i am curious if he is going to add spaces at the bottom for more apps. I dont want to lose the screen switching dots!! Hope he gets both those options in.
Yes, I will not take any update on this until someone else is a guinea pig and confirms there is an option to keep the DOT NAV as it is (or not)!!
When I first saw the leaks of 2.1 months ago, I thought the DOT NAV was one of the best simple ideas I had seen. I have played with the Sense way and all the others, but for me the DOT NAV makes the most sense and the easiest to use.
It's funny, my wife says "but see, I can use my track ball (Eris with 2.1 Sense leak) to move from screen to screen" I watch them slowly move like turtles screen to screen, then I say "watch this" as I go bang, bang on the dots as the screens fire across the Droid screen in rapid succession

Exact reason why i wanted to try this out due to the Dot Navs. And the 3D launcher was another reason why to..which looks pretty good. Its like a scroll lock wheel.
But Clockwork and Helix are on top for me.
Now..i do have one concern and I havent tried it yet, but I am thinking of getting BetterCut and i am hearing that BC and CW is not getting along too well.
Familiar?

same here. ill let someone else be the 'guinea pig'
I am using clockworkmod launcher and love it. It is by far the most stable home replacement since the 2.1 update. My only question or wish is to be able to change the icons. I have not found a way to do that yet. Does anyone know how to change the icons with this launcher?

what do you mean icons??
Has anyone tried bettercut with it yet?
The icons on my screens that are shortcuts to the actual application. Before the 2.1 update I used Open Home and had Gloss icons and beautiful widgets. I can still use Beautiful Widgets but I am unable to change the look of the icons with any icon pack while using CW launcher.
I though bettercut was for rooted Droids. I am not rooted.
