I am on CM7 and had been using ADW but it seemed really sluggish between screens. I installed LP and it is really smooth now. I do not like the way LP looks though (the 5 icons). Can I make it look like ADW did in CM7?

I have figured out how to change the icons but not make it only 3 icons.

If you long press on the icon you want to remove you can set the shortcut to "Blank" and then change the icon if need be.

Did you try playing with ADW's settings? There are presets and also you can disable some of the animations to smooth things out.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for!

Yes, I played with the settings a bit. The lagginess that I am referring to is that when I swipe from screen to screen, the screen ends up being like a half second behind my finger. With LP it's in sync. That may seem like a stupid complaint, but it bothers me.

I had the exact same complaints. LP wins in my opinion. Plus is also quite nice if you think you'll stick with it.

I've often been back and forth between the two.

ADWex LauncherPro Plus

Excellent customization. Widgets.
Pre-made themes. Super smooth scrolling.
Icon packs. Option of blanking out dockbar icon.

Both are great, and I've thoroughly been familiarized with each one. But these are basically the only differences.

I personally ended up going with LP because I am anal about how smooth scrolling is... but if ADW had the same elegance, I would pick ADW because it definitely has way more options for customization.
