May I have but one request?I don't play a lot of games on my phone, but I use multiple social networking apps, is it possible to change the "games" tab to say "social"? And if there is a way that the user could do it, I'm all ears.
Love this idea and will be applying it to my set up when I figure out my request =P
EDIT: sorry, didn't open all the files, going to mess with some icon packs
I've added social to the banners and icons. Link is first post

How do you get the icons to fit in the polaroids? I am using desktop visualizer but I cant get the icons to properly center in the polaroid like in your example
This is a very cool idea. I'm gonna try it soon! ^_^
Check the live wallpaper on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701636
Maybe you can come up with something even cooler!

Hmmm I tried that and my icons still do not fit properly. They are all just slightly above the polaroids
Do you have your status bar hidden? If not idk.
Try moving it in photoshop to fix it.

Hey man, love your work.
A request if i could? Can you or anyone make another launcher pro shortcut but instead of moving from screen 1 - 7 and vice versa, an icon that moves the screen left and right? Or is there a shortcut like this.
I'm sorry but i'm not good with these intent stuff. Thanks in advance

This is built into lp. Long press an icon, change shortcuts, homescreen, next/previous screen.

For those who need the Polaroid wallpaper.
I spend some time making the Polaroid wallpaper for those who wanted it since "someone" lost his files. I spend alot of time playing with the provided background and put some enhancement of my own in there so I hope you guy appreciated. Cheers.

i like your improvements but could you change the wallpaper to a different colors, the tans just don't work for me. thanks.
Nice! Grungy as! ...and watch who you call "someone"! I've remade most of it, but not the pins and clips...I got a bit bored by it.
Attached is a photoshop file you can use, just lay this over the background you want, with the scrolling indicator you want. Remember to set your grid to be 5x5.

Yes, Sorry for not clarifying things up.
I wanted to use the shortcuts as a home shortcut and not with the dock shortcuts.
So if anyone can help me out, i would be very much obliged. TIA

Scrolling Wallpaper Dock
This is a repost from here as it is not HTC Desire specific. Everything should work on any phone with 800*480 resolution.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been experimenting with what I believe to be a unique use for the scrolling wallpaper. If using LP with 6 homescreens your wallpaper scrolls exactly one dock icon (1/5th of the screen).
I started playing around with using this as a screen indicator and dock icons to jump between homescreens using LPP Shortcuts. Shortcuts to all 6 screens are attached. I found you could effectively use the scrolling effect of the wallpaper in place of a screen indicator (although it goes the wrong way).
It takes a bit of playing around with the wallpaper to get it 100%. I've included a .PSD of one of my files, however the others aren't really in an up-loadable state. I've included all the scrollable wallpapers I've made as well.
I hope you get some fun out of this - If you do make something interesting and unique please post here to share it with everyone else!

Tutorial
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've had a few people wanting a tutorial on how to get the rainbow wallpaper set-up. Please keep comments and question in this thread, I would rather have questions answered publicly so they only have to be answered once.
The white bar is my own and is only available for OpenDesire, the rest of this theme requires the following and should work on any rom;
*Tutorial Files
*Launcher Pro
*Desktop Visualizer
*Apps Organizer (or Folder Organizer)
*DigiClock
*Smooth Calendar
*^3 (search: "pub:Filipe Abrantes")
*SMS Unread Count (Optional - Mod attached)
*Images attached
*Time and patience
Launcher Pro Plus SettingsThis give you the basis of the scrolling wallpaper 'dock'. From this I hope some run with the idea and produce their own wallpapers and themes
Homescreen Settings
Number of Screens = 6
Default Screen = 4
Dock Settings
Number of Docks = 1
Appearance Settings
Dock Background = None
Hide Icon Labels = Ticked
Disable Wallpaper Scrolling = Unticked
Advanced Settings
5 Icon rows in homescreen = ticked
Launcher Pro Dock Settings
Position 1
Shortcut = screen_6.lps
Icon = Dock_Tools.png
Swipe Action = Clock
Position 2
Shortcut = screen_5.lps
Icon = Dock_Apps.png
Swipe Action = App Drawer
Position 3
Shortcut = screen_4.lps
Icon = Dock_Home.png
Swipe Action = Dialer One
Position 4
Shortcut = screen_3.lps
Icon = Dock_Media.png
Swipe Action = Audio Manager
Position 5
Shortcut = screen_2.lps
Icon = Dock_Games.png
Swipe Action = None
Apps OrganizerThis is the free version, however I would recommend buying folder organizer as you can add bookmarks and contacts in the folders.
Create new labels;
Applications
Favourites
Add your applications into the suitable labels. Favourites will be linked to the home screen banner.
Desktop Visualizer WidgetsLong press on screen - select widget.
Desktop Visualizer(Small)
All bottom row icons are linked directly to the app and inserted as a small widget
Desktop Visualizer(4x1)
All Banner Icons are inserted as 4x1 widget and linked to Apps Organiser category - (Select Action > Other > Apps Organizer > [your label)
Desktop Visualizer(2x1)
These are the larger icons above application, games and tools banners. Link these to whatever you like my setup was;
Controller - Linked to apps organizer group emulators
Tools - Remote apps (for HTPC, VLC etc)
Android in trolley - Appbrain
Other WidgetsDigiClock
Inset clock as widget then in app drawer open "DigiClock Settings"
Theme = Clear
Text Settings > Text Colour > White
Smooth Calendar
Show Menu = Untick
Show Calendar Icon = Untick
Transparent Background = Tick
Show Colour = Tick
Date Format = "dd.MM"
Time Format = "HH.mm"
^3
Medium widget and in Launcher Pro Plus enlarge to fill screen (If you don't have the plus version, use small widget to centre it

Thanks to classicalgas for great idea..
LauncherProPlus (new transparent gingerbread mod)
with custom SCROLLABLE dock!
Was tired of circlebatt and simiclock like all other these days
Wanted devs of "SlideScreen" to make theur app as a fullscreen widget. But for now I've found satisfaction in this.
Every thumbtitle on first screen (the most left) links to different screens by LPshortvuts. The small images at the buttom scrolls with wallpaper.
The small banners on each page, links back to homescreen.
Dock is scrollable too with two options each. Press/swipe up.
Først dockicon links to "tools" and swipeup is for appdrawer.
Swipeup on all 5 blank icons centerdock is opening/closin statusbar.
Updated first screen, the should ofcourse be androidgreen!
U might ad transparent twitter or calendars to the first screen...
Widgets are TxClck, MinimalisticText, Snowstorm, ScrollableNews (with custom greaderfeed mixed w 15 rssfeeds), PowerAmp.
(Might be adding BeyondPod Transparent mod)
( http://classical-gas.blogspot.com/2010/11/tutorial-scrolling-wallpaper-20.html for tutorial).

If you use the original wallpaper - I made it darker (its a bit grey - and I cropped the coloured line a bit..)
But my mod is in the psds...
