LauncherPro Beta (SUPER FAST & SMOOTH Launcher!)

I dig LP....but I have a stock Droid on 2.1 and use 5 screens on LP.....I also use BW, FB widgets, etc etc, lots of widgets. I have noticed at time when I'm in an app and go back to my home screens it will be blank and lag and take a bit for everything to reappear on the home screen. Is that normal? It's the only lag I've noticed, except when I was using the Engadget widget, which really slowed my phone down. I'm suspecting it's one of my widgets, maybe FB widget? Or Touiteur widget? I also have Helix 1 on my phone and Home Switcher, maybe having those conflicts?

EDIT: reading above I see LW can slow it down.....which I use.
 
It is not your widgets that are causing ththe lag, it is the memory management of lp. This is the reason I switched from lp to adw. With adw I have never experienced the lag when switching to home, it only happened with lp and helix. Adw never does that.
 
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

Does the hide icon text work for anyone? its not working for me yet.
 
ahh nice...hidden notification bar is all i was really waiting for.
YOINK!
:D excellent update.
I would like screen capture like in home++. If that can be on this. I will dump all my homes apps.
even.... ADW.

.0.4.1 is out now.

Just a bug fix update, the “Hide Icon Labels” option wasn’t working on v0.4.0. Please update to v0.4.1.
