Have you guys noticed that the App Docks are pretty ugly in horizontal view and that they scroll themselves to the right when you come out of an application or something?

Im at work so I havent had a chance to fully test this out yet.
I'll download Pandahome in a bit to try it out. I really like GDE so far and the lag really doesnt bother be, Im using the "Fade" transition and like it the best. I really lik ethe Dock widget.
You guys should install "Better Cut" and then go to Icon Archive - 26,400+ free icons, buddy icons, xp icons, vista icons, desktop icons, aim icons and download a set of icons (they will be in .png format) and put them on your SD card. Then you can change any Icon you want. Im using the "Buuf" icon set I downloaded. It has 1500 icons. In OpenHome and such when you install an Icon pack it only changes certain Icons, not all. With Better Cut even Contact shortcuts, Web Shortcuts can have a custom Icon.

Just tried it and it is available. The "Settings" part of it isn't so you can't go into it and pick 5 screens or whatever, but try this:
Go to your left or right screen in panda, long press and hold an icon to drag it, now drag it to the outside (left side of left screen or right side of right screen) and hold it there for just a second. BAM new screen on that side

Multiscreen works just fine on panda. Personally, I'm going back to the standard home screen for now, panda is lagging my system kinda badly and isnt playing nicely with beautiful widgets, although that just may be the widget itself.
First impressions though, when the final code is released, pandahome will definitely be my first choice. I wish the screen rotation would be as fast and accurate as it normally is on the main home screen, and it tends to be a little touchy with panda. Multiscreen is wonderful though. I have 5 screens up and running. Also, while im on the subject, is there an android 2.0 theme for panda?
Aside from that, I'm loving the sort features for the drawer for all the apps, definitely a nice touch, and the side bars and quick menu works flawlessly.
I cant wait for tomorrow!!

Damn, it's not lagging mine at all
I also haven't noticed any Beautiful Widget issues. Can you tell me which specific widget is acting screwy for you? Also, did you actually get the Droid beta? I installed "PandaHome for Droid" and when it asked whether I wanted the Beta or Stable, I chose Beta. You may have a slightly older version depending on what you picked. Mine also rotates just fine and fairly quick.To get the default Android theme, change it to "Default Theme"
I like how I can hide Amazon MP3, Facebook, and a few others I don't use but can't delete.

The main widget is having a weird issue where the last minute keeps flickering back and forth between the current time and a minute before.
I specifically downloaded the droid beta through the app then the browser, and im using the latest update. The phone just seems to be laggier than usual when flipping through screens and such. The orientation is not nearly as accurate as it is on the default droid home and i find myself in landscape mode while im holding the phone upright.
The hiding of the icons is wonderful, although the default folder icon is fugly. I really dont want to pay for bettercut, but it may come down to that, as I love the panda features a little too much now to give them up once the stable version shows up.
Also, has anyone found a good app to sort the apps in folders? I know app organizer is out there, I just havent had a chance to use it yet.

Apps organizer works well and it easy to use. And you can change the Default Icon that Apps organizer uses with Better Cut which is nice because Better Cut cant change the "folder" Icon Android uses when you add a new folder. I also like the fact that apps organizer only opens the window big enough for the amount of Icons you have in there, unlike the Android Folder which opens a full size window for 1 icon. Also you can "Star" your favorite apps, so you can have an Apps Organizer Folder that has all of your Utilities in it but yet you only use 3 of those most of the time. You can star those 3 so they are the ones that show up. Each folder view has a star Icon so you can un-star the view and see all icons in that folder.
