Default [Q] homescreen not fully displayed?

im comin out from the htc inpire, and now has the atrix, and when i use widgets/adwlauncher/adwdock/ they dont seem to take up the whole space in the homescreen, when i use adw launcher the docks are not extended all the way. is there a workaround to this?

It's because the density is a bit lower on the Atrix. I supposed if your phone is rooted and used LCD Density Changer app, you can put it back to normal. Haven't tested the app out yet though...

Default check out these comments about th home screen

Let’s start with the homescreen. With the Atrix 4G’s higher resolution, Motorola felt it was necessary to size down the homescreen so that objects fit in at their native resolution for an 800 x 480 phone. But, any widget I tried from an external developer was able to stretch just fine using a replacement launcher. It’s a little annoying to have this big border around your homescreen since it serves no purpose.

It is because of the higher density; right now I'm using a launcher with just one screen; composed of the moto messaging, wifi, GPS, calamder, and clock with something else.

I like the Widgets and the way they look. Definitely love the screen though.
