Default LauncherPro Plus

There is now a paid version of LauncherPro:

http://launcherpro.com/

I have installed it but when I hit the "Home" button I don't get the option to switch to LauncherPro. I didn't have a previous version installed so I thought it would pick it up (I had tried a previous version and deleted it). What do I need to do to get the option to switch to it??

EDIT: Fixed using method in the next post.

From the home screen

Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications

From Manage Applications

menu -> filter > All

Scroll to either

LauncherPro or twlauncher which ever is yoru default home screen and select "Clear Defaults" Then press the Home button and you should give you the option of which home screen to use.

That did it.

I had gone to the Applications Manager but didn't select "All" to see the default launcher. Thanks for the help!

how do you like it? what's different about it other than that it has new widgets? i use adw and i preferred adw over it because it's way more customizable...just wondering if the new launcherpro plus is customizable.

I haven't used a bunch of different launchers but LauncherPro seems to be very customizable. I have changed all of the default icons and it looks really slick.

As soon as I get the drivers installed on my computer (which might end up being the subject of a whole other thread... grrr!) I will post some screenshots.

+1 I gave up on the drivers and just used Shootme. You need to be rooted, but that takes literally one minute so it's no big deal.

Nah I got the driver thing sorted out. Here is the screenshot (I shrunk it down a little and changed it to a .jpg to save some bandwidth). Don't judge the artistic value of the setup. I just plugged it up and took a screenshot to show what I did with the launcher in a few minutes of playing around.

The background is animated (those little images are flying slowly toward you like a star field kind of deal). I played around with the icons at the bottom just to see if I could change them from the default LauncherPro icons and that's as far as I got today. I don't know what's possible with other launchers but I like this one just fine.
