I tried out a few of I guess what is known as home screen or launcher apps
Home++
Launcher+
LauncherPro
I'll be honest. I certainly see the difference. But at the same time I don't see the difference. I didn't spend too much time with them as it doesn't seem that they do anything more than what is stock on the Droid X. Now if they were able to give you more than 7 home screens or something like that I can see an advantage. I like a lot of folks different "Android desktop layouts" that I see on various forums, blogs and stuff like that (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...7-screenshots-peoples-droid-desktops-467.html). Are these something you can only do with these different apps? Also only how you get the different icons and stuff? What comes stock on the Droid X seems to do the trick for me as far as layout and what is available to put on the home pages (I DL'd a few widgets here and there). Anyways, without rambling... Anybody willing to add some discussion here or point their finger in the right direction to make things look a little cooler or how to change things up a bit visually, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
edit: while browsing the thread mentioned above, I found a page that I like the look of. As I mentioned, they all seem to do the "same", but maybe one of them is needed to get a design like this. http://i37.tinypic.com/2lm2w48.jpg With that being said, I guess what I am saying is I DL'd those apps mentioned above and really have no clue where to start if indeed I would need them to create such an elaborate design. Thanks again for reading and contributing to the discussion. Hopefully other folks may find it useful also.
