A new LauncherPro Beta version (0.4.0) has been released and is available now on the Android Market.

Here’s what’s new:

* Performance improvements
* Tweaked some settings to keep LauncherPro from being touched by most Task Killers. This should solve a lot of force close problems some people had with 0.3.0.
* Added a few tweaks which may solve force close issues that some people have been having with some widgets. I can’t seem to get any force closes no matter how many widgets I add, remove, and move, so I cannot test whether these tweaks actually solve these issues.
* Increased the speed of the animation when opening the app drawer just a little bit. Soon you’ll be able to customize the speed to your liking
* Added option to hide status/notification bar. When it’s hidden, you can bring it up from the menu.
* Added option to hide/show the home button on the app drawer. This gives you a cleaner look and more icons on the screen. You can press the back button on your phone to exit it.
* Added option to hide icon labels on home screens.
* New “Drop to Uninstall” feature. Simply drag an app over to the trash can and hold it there for two seconds, you’ll see a “Drop to uninstall” message pop up.
* Added ability to remove/hide dock shortcuts. Long-press on the shortcut that you want to remove and select “Blank”. If you want to bring it back, long press on the area where the shortcut was and set a new shortcut
* New dock icon customization options. When you set a dock shortcut, you’ll now get a popup with three options. Default icon to use the application’s default icon. LauncherPro icons to choose from one of the LauncherPro-style (translucent) icons. Custom icon lets you choose any image from your gallery to use as an icon.
* LauncherPro-style icons for: phone, contacts, messaging, browser, email, gmail, market, talk, and music. More icons coming soon.
* Added missing highlights (when focused or pressed) to non-LauncherPro dock shortcuts

That Launcherpro dev is a keeper.

Not sure if the icons at the bottom being smaller is a good thing though...

Edit: Oh wait, if you re-add your shortcuts they go back to normal size :)

I take it LP isn't compatible with 1.5?

I don't feel like I need root, so I keep waiting for official 2.1. But, things like LP make me want 2.1 NOW!

Only thing is, I am not sure on the steps to root and flash. I have a Hero on Orange (not with latest rom, but the one that I am supposed to be able to root without problem). I tried to root, then use Titanium Backup, but it said I didn't have root access and got scared....

So... can anyone with a Hero on Orange tell me exactly how to do this?
 
After installing LauncherPro.. when I attempt to change the wallpaper, I've got a choice of "LauncherPro wallpapers" or "Canvas wallpapers".

Anyone know what these LauncherPro wallpapers are about and how I can get some? Only one appears since I installed the latest version..
