LauncherPro

Description/changelog of LauncherPro 0.8.1.0:

Released: October 5, 2010.
- Fixed a bug where selecting Monday as the first day of the week on the Calendar Widget would result in wrong days being marked as busy in the widget.
- New: Bookmarks popup. This new dock popup gives you quick access to your bookmarks. Just like the Bookmarks widget, the popup only works with bookmarks stored on the standard bookmark database in your phone, so if your browser of choice doesn't use this database, you'll need to export them to the main database (if your browser has that option) or add them manually into the stock browser.

Description/changelog of LauncherPro 0.7.9.0:

Released: September 21, 2010.
- Increased the sensitivity for swiping through homescreens. It should respond to shorter swipes now.
- New: Customizable homescreen grid size. You can now choose how many columns and rows of icons/widgets to have on your homescreens (Preferences > Homescreen Settings). There's also an "Auto-fit items" option which will resize the grid cell size to match the grid dimensions, so that widgets/icons don't overlap.

If you increase the grid size and move stuff around (or resize widgets), and then want to decrease the grid size again, make sure to revert your changes, otherwise some widgets will be unusable, and some icons might fall off the screen.

Description/changelog of LauncherPro 0.7.8.1:

Released: September 11, 2010.

- New: Ability to use custom icons and labels on homescreen shortcuts. Long-press on a homescreen and choose "Shortcuts".
