Sorry if this is already well know.

If you hold down the app drawer icon on the home page for a second until it turns color and swipe from left to right, a small app dock appears on the bottom of the screen. You can drag and drop 5 shortcuts and it will show up on every home screen. To get back to the app drawer just swipe again. Cleared up a decent amount of space for me.

Is this on a moto droid? I can't seem to get it to work either, possibly some setting I'm missing?
thanks

Just make sure to hold the app drawer icon down for a second so it changes color before swiping. Mine turns orange. The tray is for quarter size icons so it is small.

For those saying nope: make sure you're trying this with dxtop and not the stock android home app. It is a documented feature of dxtop and is quite nice if you have it installed. Personally I couldn't get used to the way you changed desktop swiping and ended up uninstalling, but other than that, it's a nice home alternative.

See THAT would have been helpful in the FIRST post :icon_evil:

still a good post and yes, you can add up to five, it's definitely a space saver, and time saver since my top five apps (phone and text being two of my top) are on every screen
