I'm having the same issue. Anybody know what's going on with this, or are your people widgets showing correctly?

I've really had a mixed experience since resizing widgets and adding cloumns/rows to the homescreen. A lot of times the widgets overlap or the screen redraws whenever I leave and come back to the home screen. Tried messing with hacks, changing the memory usage, and locking launcher in memory. Another really annoying problem is almost every day, I have to restart my phone to get the launcher to run fast again. Otherwise when I unlock the phone it is really laggy and will not speed up with that reboot. After dealing with this for a couple weeks, I changed back to ADW Launcher two days ago. Haven't had a problem since. Unfortunately ADW launcher does not have as many options and is not as polished, but at it always runs fast and doesn't redraw.

this happens to me even with the local.prop hack.

i never get redraws anymore maintaining the orientation. however, switching the orientation as you described will cause a redraw every time...

from what i hear compcache might alleviate the issue, but you'd have to get a specific rom/kernel...

i wonder if its possible to fix without all these hacks, just better code.

I LOVE THE HOMESCREEN CUSTOMIZATION OF THE NUMBER OF ROWS/COLUMNS….

looking at the actual friends widget, it looks like it should be a bar at the top, allowing you to fill screen with icons and pull the bar down over the icons to see the feeds. (like a minimize/maximize kinda thing) that would be cool, id pay for that. Still holding out for now on buying the plus version. To me, its just not quite enuf in it i want to justify paying for… yet.

This is what happens when the community supports a dev. and pays for the plus version of the app. We get updates that make us happy we spent that few bucks. See you can make a living in the android market, only if you are awesome and make quality apps. hmm all is right with the world….

I love Launcher Pro. The only problem I have is with occasional homescreen redraws that sometimes take as long as 15 to 20 seconds to refresh on my D1. Not awful, but definitely annoying. I can actually replicate the problem at any time by starting a new text message, opening the keyboard, and pressing the home key before closing the keyboard. I've tried just about every memory setting too.
