I tried searching and didn't see it come up, so, thought I needed to mention a cool program.
Hearing that WM7 won't have today screen items, and not that I'm switching from WM6 anytime soon, thought this was a nifty launcher.
Also, the developer is very helpful.

Great program, I use it on the TP2. I mapped it to the mute button. The version I have only has settings for vga. There may be an update but I haven't checked. The version I have doesn't fill the entire screen. The bottom quarter is blacked out/ not filled with shortcuts, but it works fine.

It's on the TP2, the button on the back. When I had the TP I mapped the center dpad to launch manager with a long press.

Launchpad looks nice. I haven't had a problem with launch manager, loads fast and does what I need. But I may have to give launchpad a try. I'm always looking for something new for my phone!
