I have another thread on here but this is a heads up, Launcher Pro will screw up the cropping size/placment of the background images you want on your nook. I had to finally do a factory reset to get it back.
So if you want your nook back ground to be normal, don't use launcher pro, its not that important.

How So?
What does it do to the background?
I mean Android is pretty terrible about scaling background pictures to begin with.
Doesn't matter bro. Having original launcher replaced by Launcher Pro is worth giving up just a nice looking wallpaper.
You don't need to avoid Launcher Pro! Everything looks good if you set the wallpaper when the device is in landscape mode.
Use Zeam instead of Launcher Pro.
Trust me.

clock
Hi,
Haven't got my Nook Color yet, but I like the look of Zeam - I'll be trying it on my Fascinate soon. Could I ask what clock widget you're using on the screen? Is it included with Zeam?
Thanks.

Wallpaper? Share please
Zeam has the same problem for me. Try setting the wallpaper to one of the stock ones included in the nook. It'll ask you to crop it (probably to the standard 800x480 android size) which ended up zooming to fill the screen.
Going back to the stock Home launcher, the zoomed/cropped wallpaper stays that way. Changing the wallpaper there doesn't crop it, but it also doesn't fit it to the 3 panels, so only your middle panel looks correct while the left and right panels have half the image and the other half is black.
Tried setting the wallpaper in landscape (with any of the launchers) and it didn't make a difference
Same problem as LauncherPro. Only way I could fix it is with a factory reset.

And for the guy above you asking for the wallpaper... http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/D6a22dbd/02435_kindofindiansummer_1600x1200.jpg

For those with Zeam. Try this. Go here. Click on the picture of the winter scene for full size and long press the picture. Now select SET AS WALLPAPER and see if it works. It stretches for 3 screens for me.
Does the nook seem more responsive with launcher pro? (smoother transitions etc)

Confirmed. I'm guessing that using Launcher Pro even once is the cause of the problem. I used it and then started using Zeam and it was still happening, but as long as I set it while in landscape, the background looks ok. Thanks for the tip, vmx128!
How did you get those apps to show up on the bottom sliding strip ?? Mine all show up on the "Extras" screen ....
antoniouslj said:

Here's a few images to illustrate using one of the stock wallpapers included with the nookcolor. I added numbers to the panels (in photoshop) for clarity:
stock home BEFORE root
Zeam after rooting - no change of wallpaper
Going back to stock NC home after using Zeam - no change in wallpaper
Resetting the same wallpaper in stock NC home after Zeam was installed
I used this stock wallpaper because you can see the the difference in the texture of the ground and the basketball. All wallpapers I've tried to set have the same effect.
It's not an issue with LauncherPro because I haven't yet installed it after this factory reset and if there was some residual effect left over it wouldn't be back to being crisp without blackbars as in the first set of screenshots.
It seems to me that LauncherPro and Zeam expect a 960x800 wallpaper size (standard android wallpaper size). That's why when I use one of the stock NC images that are larger than that it takes me to the cropping screen. Problem is that in order to fit the 1024px screen, it now has to zoom the (now 800px high after cropping) image to fit the higher resolution screen.
However, I still don't understand why it messes up the stock NC from displaying its own wallpapers properly after returning to it from Zeam. It seems to be scrolling the image too far when moving to the left and right panels which results in the black bars.

Hey antoniouslj (or anyone else) do you have a valid link to the zeam 2.6.0 apk? I have 2.5.2, but the lack of customizable number of columns and rows makes zeam pretty lame for the NC.
I installed the wallpapercasa app which has a ton of high resolution pics. It does an excellent job in sizing wallpaper to fit whatever device is being used. I'm using LauncherPro btw.

Because apparently the general population can't use common sense, this is a video on how to apply: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i4L0i7zk48
A .zip is linked at the bottom which holds all of the themes. Each theme has two separate versions, one using the Sense application icons, the other using the slide application icons.
The themes are of the stock Slide themes (Nest, Hoops, LightShow, Wildflower, Surf, Nature, and Palazzo) made from images by HTC (I only made them compatible with ADW).

2. For some reason I could not get the vertical scrolling screen to display the app background correctly so you will have to use the Galaxy S drawer unless you don't mind the select/press/normal images not lining up. *Problem with the Stock Launcher Code (Which ADW uses)*
3. Landscape is ugly, sorry, it just is.
4. When adding an app to the hidden dock, the right side of the highlighted dock does NOT reach the edges of the screen, I'll look into this.
5. Scrolling is low quality, it's just an Android thing.
6. The nature theme looks a little odd on the app bar.. thing. It has vertical lines and unfortunately, the way I understand .9's, they like to stretch. It was either have one really long line or lots of lines slightly larger than the original image. I chose the latter.

Good job broseph.
Wow... Good work J!!
You're such an effing swagger jacker.
Very nice looking! The only suggestion I have is to do something with the shortcut names in the app drawer...only the shortest names are fully visible, otherwise they're cut off (because of the border). Maybe there is no way to beautify that, so no biggie. Otherwise, beautiful!
looks great

"Weather & Toggle Widget" has a skin that looks exactly like it also, you can download it and the skins (one for clock, one for weather) from the market, it does cost $1.99 though I believe. Totally worth it imo.

Ooohp, yep. I bought that a long time ago as well (Before it was Weather & Toggle Widget).
Also, the Nest theme s currently on the market, to find it you can search for either "ADWTheme Slide" or "pub:klinster". It is one version ahead of all of these themes (and as such has a couple of things fixed, including HDPI support and general fixes with the bubble).
Starting later today I will begin updating the other themes, and ready them for (hopefully) a market release was well.

everything else is set to default except background color in drawer

2. set your leftmost icon to go to the app drawer, then select custom icon and use the clearsquare.png as the icon
3. same as step two, but set the middle three icons to be the phone app. again, set the icon to be the clear square
4.set the rightmost icon to be whatever you want, i used messaging. again, use the clear icon
thats it! just tap one of the three sections and it will take you there
now your homescreen dock will look just about the same as senseUI.

Works great!!! Thanks - I needed launcher pro, as you said, and at first all I found was the other one...it would be nice to port the HTC SENSE UI in its entirety to the phone. But, until that day happens, this is a great alternative and the UI is still quick, too, on the captivate. Now, could you point me in the general direction of where I could change the sound and image files of this awesome phone? Thank!!

its not likely that an entire sense ui port will ever happen, basically because senseui is for and by HTC phones, which bare a total of almost no hardware similarities with the sgs. (check this out though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526)
you can look to the android general theme section for some bootscreens and sounds.
Do I have to root my captivate to do this?
All you need is Launcher Pro. Hit up the preferences menu after pressing the menu key on the homescreen and go to Appearance settings to change the dock skin.

What's the all the ado about Sense?
So in a nutshell, is the appeal of SenseUI:
Customized dock
Useful widgets
Expose-like homescreen management
Am I missing something or does all that seem do-able in LauncherPro + (minus some of the widgets of course)?

I've found that Desktop Visualizer absolutely works with Honeycomb, although it's not available through the market yet. If you can find a copy of the app, you'll find it allows for custom sizes for icons and images placed on the homescreen.
UPDATED:
Using ADW EX, Desktop Visualizer, Widgetsoid, BW, and Pulse, along with some stock widgets.
The device pics take me directly to the XDA Forum for each applicable device

What toggle widget is that?
A few other things to note...
When searching for icons, I recommend using 256x256 pngs, the standard icons do not scale well in Bettercut or DV. You'll notice that although the icons are 1x1, they are scaled larger when removing the labels.
As for the wallpaper, I'm sure ou noticed my lack of originality. The truth is, I love this wallpaper. I use it as the wallpaper on my Honeycomb themed G2, my laptop and even my Xbox360.

No issues but when I was trying to set it to one screen only, it force closed on me a couple times. Once I got that set, no issues so far. I like the swipe gesture on the application drawer icon. It brings up your last 16 recent apps instead of the 5 limit using the honeycomb one.

Works faster than the stock launcher, and the adw drawer is faster too. Good work by the dev. Best launcher for honeycomb so far.
wow, it is alot smoother....IMO this just shows how much they need to improve honeycomb. I'm sticking with the default launcher because I just like it's feel better, but ADW is smoother.
I bought their ADW Ex. but can any guru help me here how to change settings of ADW?
I used it before in Dell Streak 7 where I can click option and then it has System settings as well as ADW Preference, but here I found it no where...

Its works nice, fast with cool features. I've had about 10 force closes on me using it today and some issues where most of my icons and Widgets dissapear on me and I have to manually restart adw.
As for the adw settings you have to click the drop down menu on the top right of the screen and select adw settings.
I sent an error report to the Dev team so hopefully they get working on a fix.

I think I'm going back to 1.2.2 I don't like this new version. I don't like the icon at the top and the fact that you loose a half inch form the top and the sides if you have the hidden dock enabled.
BRD...never mind, figured it out finally from another posting. Thanks!
The new adw is great and fast but a couple of things bug me:
I don't like the adw icon sitting in the top left corner, nor the big lock/unlock button in the top right. I wish that button could be situated under the top right menu. It's not a majorly used function (once your home screen is set up anyway).
3.1 makes the xoom way smoother. I'm back to the default launcher now.

Ditto on all accounts. Using a bar at the top to house the icon, lock/unlock, etc is a waste of space. Having a full screen to use was what drew me to ADW with Tiamat -- now I'm back to the smooth running stock launcher
1.3.2 has more bugs than..., well, a place with a lot of bugs. Couldn't resize any Widgets. Kept FCing and forcing stock launcher. The 4D app drawer would label every app the name of the last app on the screen. I can't believe they even released it. But man the icon cache got fixed and screen scrolling was smooth as butter.
agreed, 1.3.2 works great on my phone but buggy on honeycomb. I went back to the previous version.

(https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd)
A promising application which offers pretty good wallpapers, in my opinion. However it is more than a simple wallpaper application... Not special in a sense where it gives you super exam cheating skills (which I so desperately need right now)... but it gives you MUCH better cropping for your wallpapers in the Gallery app .
So how do you use it and how much better is it? Well to use it start by getting a Wallpaper (one with irregular dimensions. The NS handles 480 x 800, so you use an iPhone Wallpaper that is 320 x 480 for examples sake). So once you got that on your phone go ahead and open up the Gallery. Find and tap on the image. Now hit the menu button and select "Set picture as" (on ICS) or whatever you need to click to set a wallpaper. You will notice a pop-up comes up. The normal options would be contact photo and wallpaper (and maybe whatever else you have), but now we are introduced with the option of "Set as Wallpaper" - with the PicSpeed icon beside it. So tap it (of coarse). Underneath the image will be three images. The first (left) crops the image to use just the middle (based on dimensions) and is not a scrollable Wallpaper. The second (middle) gives you the traditional full-use of the wallpaper in a scrollable state. The one that is most interesting is the last (right) option. This one offers a custom crop. Which means you can make the wallpaper scrollable or not and perfectly set the crop to whatever you want. So once you use the right custom option go ahead and hit the set option underneath it to the far right.
I think that is amazing finally a way to break the terrible cropping options the Gallery gave us. At first when PicSpeed released an earlier version the wallpaper would auto resize and mess up the image. They have updated the app since then and I no longer have to re-set the wallpaper on boot. Another bug I noticed is I cannot set a Wallpaper 'properly' with the traditional set wallpaper function my phone offers me, after I use PicSpeed to set a "custom" crop. This is easily fixable. Go into Gallery and the set the wallpaper with PicSpeed (again) with the Wallpaper with the traditional (middle) option. Or you can just reboot your phone, either way works.
Well yeah I just wanted to share this new amazing application with you all . You're welcome all! No more terrible cropping options YAAAAY!

Glad it helped you
sorry to bumb a 5-month old thread, but since it IS wallpaper-related, how would i come across a single paged wallpaper if the original dimensions were 720x1280 and i want it to fit the screen fully? before using Nova's wp picker setting, i've already tried setting it to a dimension of 480x800 and hoping it'd fit the screen fully and there was a small black bar near the bottom
i'm attempting to mimic this look
