I loved the addition of folders when I installed Launcher Pro, however, they soon began to annoy me.  Why? When you click a folder, it opens to the size of the entire screen.

I currently have 4 CircleLauncher widgets on my homescreen…

The icons encircle the button!  This continues the trend of enhancing and increasing your homescreeen real estate.
