LauncherPro Plus update adds messaging widget to its arsenal

August 14, 2010 | by Chris Smith

LauncherPro is a favorite home replacement of mine and just recently the developer decided to add widgets. Before the latest update there was a calendar, people, and bookmark widget that reminds one of the way that Sense UI widgets work. And with the latest update yesterday, paid users get to see the addition of a new messaging widget.

There are two styles to choose from, a 4×2 “message-by-message” or a 4×4 “timeline”. Both widgets are just a little different. The 4×2 allows one message by a time that can be swiped up or down, deleted, or you can reply to the message that you are on. The 4×4 widget allows you to mark all messages as read and to compose a new message. Scrolling on both widgets is extremely fluid.

It seems weird to me that you can’t compose a new message on the 4×2 widget as you can on the 4×4. This seems like something obvious that the developer may have left out. The good thing is that the developer is extremely open to valuable feedback and updates the app at a crazy pace.The messaging widget is a logical addition and it will be cool to see what else is in the pipeline.

Well, even though you can't compose on 4×2, you can easily resize the 4×4 to be 4×2 because of the handy widget resize feature

The main issue I have is that I use Google Voice for SMS so this is (as of now) useless for me

It is best To Use tube downloader Use YouTube Downloader to download movies along with other videos for your hard disc drive belonging to the You Tube internet sites.

All you need to do is find the video or movie on You Tube you want to download and then enter the video or movie URL into the submit box and then click the get it now button. The video or dvd movie will then download onto your hard disk drive. You have probably gone to You Tube to find your favorite video or movie only to discover that it has been removed from their site. There can be many reasons why it was removed. It might have been removed because the video violated the terms and conditions of You Tube or the person who uploaded it decided to delete the video or movie.

But any time you find a video or video you want to check out again or watch at a later time, you can make sure it will be available by down loading for your own pc. It is best to make use of a video downloading web site rather than a software package.

The downloading internet site has more options than programs and in most all cases is more convenient to use than software package options. You can also count on consistently fine video processing. Some software programs programs don’t provide consistently good duplication results, which is another reason to use a downloading site rather than software.

Any time you employ a video downloading site, you do not have to download any software program or script. This means you will not have to make use of space on your hard drive to install the software. A few people have issues installing software program on their personal computer. If you’re one of these people, you should use a down loading website because you’ll not have to waste time trying to figure out how to install yet another application.
