These all look really awesome! I'm thinking about trying something out with hubs...is the ADW Launcher EX the version that costs you $3.32? Thanks!
Try GoLauncher EX, it's not only free but I think it's the best.
They also have a Tablet version that is in beta here http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2012/03/go-launcher-hd-v1-0-beta/

You know, I think I may already be using that (I'm using [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod). I think the GOLauncher EX is included in the MiRaGe build. Do you know if it's possible to get rid of the dock toolbar in GOLauncher EX?
Hmm...I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the dock toolbar, but I'll post some screenshots of my work-in-progress (stole a lot of ideas from screenshots I saw in this thread thanks for all the awesome ideas!). Some of these screens look better in portrait mode too. I hope none of these screenshots show any of my personal details ;;

Can you share which widgets you're using on the Library and Home screens?

Only one screen. Don't have much on it, but it works well enough for me.
Kobo ereader
Simple Time Widget: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.northdroid.simpletimewidget
Battery Widget: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jonathanhedren.android.batterywidget
What's the name of your wallpaper? Thanks
Of course! I'm flattered
I believe I'm using Minimalistic Text widgets for all the screen titles, as well as:Home:
Sense Analog Clock
GO TaskManager
GO Switch Widget
Library: (I've since then removed these...my NC was running a bit slow so I tried to get rid of all the widgets I wasn't using very often)
Google Reader
AllRecipes
The calendar widget is Smooth Calendar, the book progress widget is from the app Kobo. And this is a link for my first wallpaper
Thanks I love that wallpaper. Here is another question. How do you make the wallpaper fullscreen without cropping it? Also what launcher are you using?

I'm using ADWLauncher EX and MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set up my wallpapers. I'm pretty sure I set them full screen with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper app.
Thanks for all the input. I know it's lame, but I couldn't help copying yours because I love the way it looks. I will play around and than post mine.
For those metro windows 8 lovers out there...
Is anyone able to help me modify an launcher apk so it skips the proccess of scaning your device and make the default Tablet mode?

How to screen capture....
OK... I've read that I can do a screen capture by holding down the Nook home button and pressing Vol-.
Problem is that a long home press brings up the recent apps window.
I didn't really want to wander thru 102 pages of posts.
Can anyone tell me what can I do to get this work?
[Running stable CM7.1 in EMMC]

There are apps that do this great, I use screenshot from Kastor Soft, Google play store
Hey JGaf, I love your screens. Are you running cm9? If so, how did you get the battery to indicate the %?

I set this up on another forum, and I thought it might help here as well since a lot of people are having difficulty with SoftKeys and not realizing it's full potential:
I think people are frustrated with SoftKeys because they aren't properly setting it up.
Yes, the softkeys super-imposed button dealie sucks. So does Button Savior, to be honest. With SoftKeys, you can disable the constantly floating "button". I instead have the "n" key setup to do the following:
Single Press- Bar appears over bottom home bar, in any program, with all of the necessary buttons
Double Press- Return to Home (within 200ms, so essentially double-click).
This is the key advantage of SoftKeys. In normal operation, there is nothing obscuring my screen, ever. As soon as I find it necessary to use one of the necessary keys (usually back), I hit the "n" button. Suddenly, a bar appears on the bottom with all of them there. I hit the one I want, and SoftKeys goes away and performs the action. No floating icon on top of everything all the time reminding me about how the nook color lacks android hardkeys.
As a bonus, when I hit the n button, to bring up the softkey toolbar, it also brings up my most recently used programs at the top, as if I held Home on a normal Android device.
To achieve this setup, make sure that SoftKeys is installed and your default action for the "n" key. Enter SoftKey settings by opening it as an App or whatever and set the following:
Options in order:
SoftKeys Service
1. Uncheck "Run Service"
2. *personal preference*
3. *personal preference* (should be pretty low)
4. *doesn't matter, the "popper" is turned off in #1
5. Check "Auto Hide"
6. Unchecked (*personal preference I assume, haven't tried it on*)
Virtual Home Button
1. Normal Press: set to your Preferred Home Launcher (In my case, Zeam is my favorite)
2. Long Press: SoftKeys
3. Unchecked
I'm not sure why these settings for the Virtual Home Button have an effect, but they seem to.
Physical Home Button
1. Single Tap = Softkeys, Doubletap = Zeam (preferred launcher)
Some people have to reboot after install to get their preferred launcher to appear here
2. *personal preference*
The rest of the options are personal preference, but this configuration seems to be to be rock-stable and incredibly convenient.
Once you set it up this way, download "Home Switcher" and use it to set SoftKeys to default. You may need to reboot after doing this.
I am posting this, despite it seeming obvious, because it seems as though some people aren't yet grasping the capabilities of SoftKeys as compared to Button Savior, and as in the above quoted, the immediate features of SoftKeys aren't well known. Hope this helps some people.3Yes, use a LIVE wallpaper called "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&feature=search_result3The launcher (home replacement) I am using is Zeam. Its attached. Run it in full screen most to block out the default nook launcher. Its perfect with Softkeys.
The wallpaper is from http://interfacelift.com/
The best size to get is 1280x1024 for it to span all 3 screens.33
The wallpaper is Spectrum ICS LWP, I just made it a series of grays instead of the default rainbow.
The few big dots in the screenshot move and fade and stuff. The bars slide. Etc.
Some of those tile icons I found here on XDA, I think a few were from DeviantArt, and the rest I made myself.
