LauncherPro official website and forum
Introduction
First of all; This is a very basic guide (...) to help people just starting out.
LauncherPro is an alternative launcher for Android. Launcher meaning your homescreens, basically.
It allows for much more customization than the HTCLauncher (Rosie) or your phones equivalent does.
It is a free application but has "Plus features". These features include 5-6 Sense-like widgets. Since HTC widgets are dependant on HTCLauncher
(Rosie) to function I advise you to unlock the Plus features. You also help support the developer by unlocking these features.
Basics
You've already downloaded and installed LauncherPro and now you're ready to set it up! First of all, press the Home button on your phone and choose LauncherPro to be default.
You can always change your default Home application by going into Settings > Manage Applications > LauncherPro > Clear Defaults
Second: Press the Menu button on your device and choose Prefrences. From here you can choose basic settings. Unlocking the Plus features gives you a lot more settings. Set it up to best suit your likes.
This thread is not a walkthrough of LauncherPro, so if you need a manual you should check this out
Your dock
Hit the Menu button > Prefrences > Apperance Settings > Dock background
From here you can change your dock background. LauncherPro allows up to three docks (Scrolling behavior). There are a couple docks you can choose from, or you can use a custom dock.
If you're not a big Photoshop wiz there's a thread sharing dock backgrounds here (LauncherPro forums). If you on the other hand want to create a dock the correct size of the image is 480x84 pixels.
After applying a dock you suddenly realize the old icons are still on the dock - To change the icon all you need to do is long-press the icon and a menu should pop up. From here you can change
the icon. If you don't want a shortcut at all you choose blank. If the dock doesn't use icons like the screenshots above you need a transparent icon. You just long-press on the icon you want to change
and find the icon of your choice in your gallery. If you're asking yourself where to get a transparent icon, look no further. I've attached it.
Icons
There are many icon packs to choose from. My favorite place to look for icons is DeviantART > Customization > Icons > Dock Icons. There are also icon packs posted in this forum.
To apply an icon first off all you need to have it stored on your SDcard. Now just long-press the icon you wish to change and choose from your gallery
Mods
If you've unlocked the Plus features and want theme them - It's possible. Signals23 has posted a thread about it here. Basically your LPP widgets look a lot better.
ClassicalGas has got a thread that really shows the potential that LauncherPro has. Here's the thread covering "Scrolling Wallpaper Dock"
Under Prefrences there are certain settings that can help you improve the look of your homescreens. Prefrences > Homescreen Settings > Homescreen Grid.
It gives you more space on your homescreens. Instead of having 4x4 grid, you can have 10x10 - or whatever floats your boat.
Additional information
You can add any shortcut you wish on your homescreens using Desktop Visualizer.
To change your statusbar you have to edit your framework-res.apk or flash a theme
Yes, you have to be ROOTED in order to change your statusbar
This is where you share your screenshots which you've taken using ShootMe on a rooted phone
There's a Most Wanted Widgets thread here

Reserved in case I need to put something here.

Very helpful, thank you!

Yes,that's only for sgs darky, but i'm sure that there's a way to change icons in the notification bar on almost every rom/device, what device are you using?

Would this work for a QVGA phone?

Dunno, maybe, becouse Desktop Visualizer scales down images ("icons") if they are too big and you can play around with a feature in LauncherPro (widget resizing). You can try, if it doesn't work, I could make a smaller resolution version, but I only have a HDPI device and I couldn't test it.

[2.2+] Jolla SailFish OS Theme HD

}
The SailFish OS is soon to be released by Jolla. This theme has been made simply by looking at the images released by Jolla. All the icons and the skin has been made based on these images.
This theme includes both icons and skin to change the overall look of your phone.
I cannot guarantee this to be a exact replica of the OS but I will make the necessary changes as soon as it is released in the market.
All icons are of 120x120 px. On LDPI devices, the app drawer may be out of place, so I have included another resized drawer icon. If you see 2 drawer icons, that is because I included it. IT IS NOT A BUG.
This is guaranteed to work on Nova, Apex and ADW Launcher. Other launchers may support it too. But I will not support those launchers for now.
NOTE:
1. In ADW and Apex, the tabs in the app drawer will not appear. They are present there, but you will not be able to see it as I have made it transparent.
2. In Nova, it will appear as it does not support theming the tabs.
3. Also, disable wallpaper scrolling as the provided wallpaper has been designed for a single screen. Wallpaper may look odd if made to support multiple screens.
4. All icons may not change by themselves. To change them, long press the icon and the new icon from the provided icon pack.
5. App Drawer icon will not change by itself on Nova and ADW Launcher. You have to change them manually.
SCREENIES:
