Arrow [Q] Changing dock on unrooted 2.2

Hi, I am looking to change the dock on my Evo. It isn't rooted and I was just wondering if that was possible? If so can somebody please point me in the right direction? I tried to search, but didn't really know what to search. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

To be honest I don't even know if I am calling it by the right name. I want to change the thing at the bottom of the screen where you click to go to the phone,your apps and add something to your home screen. I would like to pit icons there instead of the stock bar.

See this thread, allows you to restore the stock 2.2 Android launcher. Otherwise LauncherPRO is excellent as well (its what I use).

I installed LauncherPro and the big clock is gone is there anyway to get my clock back and use the bottom icons from LauncherPro?

You need to install a widget for the clock. Either hold down on your home screen and select the widget, or download one from the market.

Is there a way to put the stock big clock on there that shows the weather?

Do a search for "fancy widget". It's pretty much just like the HTC clock.

I recommend beautiful widgets because you can change the font/look of it to pretty much whatever you want, as long as you don't mind dropping a few bucks on it.
