Wow. You guys should post some good images that you are using for the backgrounds! Some of those look great.

Started going with this setup over the weekend. I find it very convienient and sleek...

 

[Noj]

I started noticing that wallpapers set didn't always look as sharp as original.
I installed a app called 'Wallpaper Set and Save' and it does a great job of keeping the quality.

OK, i really like the clear stuff, but i'm at a complete loss as to how to install it. Got the phone a couple weeks ago and I read through this thread and now i'm more confused. Could someone lead me in the proper direction. Rooted, and roms, and backups, i'm lost. Thanks

I don't have links handy, but look through xda-developers forums and PPCGeeks forums. You'll find loads of discussion. Skim through them, especially any HOW-TO: style posts. When things get too technical, ask. If they don't answer don't feel bad. And feel free to ask questions in a thread here. There's a few of us that are playing with and customizing our Heros on the site (like Noj above) and we're all pretty friendly

Here's a post by gbhil himself with some directions for rooting, good instructions..
Get rooted first and I'll go find the links for the clear themes.

Yep!

you have to root it to take screenshots right? :/

320x480 for the lock screen

640x480 makes a great semi-static wallpaper across all 7 screens.

Attached is a PSD of bottom dock placment if you want one. Drop your wallpaper in the bottom layer and you're set.

Is the Dock only for rooted Hero's?
If not where do i put the file?
sorry i'm a little new to the android system.

Kratos the PSD file is to be opened in Photoshop. Photoshop allows you to edit an image in a series of layers. So what gbhil is saying is put whatever you want on a layer under the dock graphic and then save it, for example as a jpg, which you would then put on your phone and use as a wallpaper.

To use an app from the market, yes. But it's not that hard to do it using the Android SDK
Taking screenshots on an Android-based phone
explains it much better than I could.

Thanks kenny.

Spruced things up a bit. My wife and Daughter fussed at me for having a phone with an amazing UI and not using it, so I appeased them

Wallpaper is attached.

I'm sorry, but I downloaded the wallpaper and it does not look even half as good as in your phone pic. Did you change the resolution on it?

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Not on purpose. The original here is 505 kb, and it's a .png file. Not sure if the forum software changed it or not.

Last Android Wallpapers, Wallpaper, Backgrounds, Androlib
I submitted it here...it should be up in a little bit. Just in case

how do you get the gmail app icon to show the unread mail count?

from an earlier gbhil post...

it's from the market, called Gmail unread. Don't have a link handy as I'm at my work PC, but a search of the market should find it. IMO well worth the 99 cents the dev is charging
