Same here. I like how you can change the color of the notification icon. I set mine to black, looks real sharp.

I changed mine to black too, but it doesn't change to black on the home screen?

Is there a way to show number of texts on the handcent icon on the home screen?

I think I saw that in settings. You may have to use the widget instead of the shortcut though. Look at the settings it says something about show count on widget and it is disabled by default.
