Ok, I'll bite although all of my stuff is ripped from other peoples recommendations in the software thread:

Rooted, using launcher pro, using simple text icons, using beautiful widgets clock cropped to get rid of weather, and battstat widget.

The wallpaper is one I created myself using a photo I took.

Nothing fancy, just highly readable clock and battery indicator. I'll make custom icons for the launcher if I get time.

My setup hasn't changed much from when I initially posted it in the Software thread. Still using the Bugless Evolution theme for BB with the blackcashmere/cropped beautiful widget clock for my main screen. Nice to see other people using that little trick. It's a really elegant look.

Added a 4th screen for the MusicMod widget on the far right. However that might not stay as it doesn't appear to scrobble and last.fm is a huge deal to me (as you can see by the fact that it's a main text icon on my launcherpro dock).

Any recommended aps for customizing the media dock screen? (Not the dock on the phone, the screen when you put it in the Motorolla media dock)

Where can I find this theme/skin for Beautiful Widgets?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.

Visual Task Switcher, which mimics Palm’s webOS by providing thumbnail views of all open applications. Swipe through open apps, long-press to kill running tasks, or open an app by tapping the thumb. It doesn’t have the same polish as Palm’s version, but it provides a comparable experience for Android users.

I don't think that's got to do with it. The temperature is retrieved from the weather service...

Really itching for the G2 now. Been holding on to Android OS 1.6 for dear life.... The suspense to get all this amazing looking stuff is killing me.

Is there any other way I can take a pic of my screen? I have not rooted my phone and the explaination for the non rooted phones is just complicated.

I hear the ShootMe app works on some non-rooted phones. You could try that.

This is an awesome thread. I've been pretty attached to Sense up to now but I think I might be delving into one of these launchers with a customized theme after having seen a few of these!

Really nice

Phone isnt rooted so I took pics with a crappy handcamcorder :lol

Using WidgetLocker, love ability to put widgets on the lock screen, dont like the unlock options, wish there was a way to keep the captivate lock screen but add widgets to it.

From Left to right of my screens. Middle one is my main screen. Wallpaper is Mandy Moore with some photoshop action to extend the left.
Everything is pretty basic. Facebook app widget, BattStatt for battery %, Pure Calender widget on the far right. LauncherPro home.

Currently looking for a good music player widget to use. Liked the MusicMod ones mentioned about but I guess its 2.2 only and I dont have that yet :(

All of this amazing stuff is possible on the Captivate, right? I'm looking into jumping on the Android bandwagon, and supposedly the Captivate is the best Android phone on AT&T.

My pics are from captivate. Some stuff you cant do as it requires 2.2 or requires you to root your phone since ATT locks some stuff out but majority of it you can do.

Bah, I should never have entered this thread. I'm pissed off at AT&T, slightly considering switching to an Android phone, and now I see all of these beautiful looking examples of what you can do with the UI.

Everyone is using this big, elegant clock font with Beautiful Widgets.

1) What skin in this?
2) How are you cropping out all of the weather/date junk?

2. If you have LauncherPro Plus ($2 I think) you can crop widgets. Have to hold onto widget for a long click then let go. A crop bar will appear to let you resize.

I want to introduce another Home replacemnt called SlideScreen Pro (the price for the Pro Version is 6.99$ but a free version is also available).

What it does is showing many informations at once like email, facebook, SMS etc. What it doesnt have is music control. Just give the free version a try if you like it. For me it just doest offer enough functionality to replace launcherPro.

I would love for you to break down what went into this. I'm just starting to play around with my evo and really dig the look you've accomplished here. I can spot music mod and beautiful widgets based off of earlier posts, but details on the rest would be appreciated as well.
