Loop Scrolling for Drawer/Home Screens/Dock

[GoogleCodeExporter]

what about an option for 'endless scrolling' through screens and dock ?
(if there's already one I couldn't find it ;-) )

I'm not associated with this project, but I have been hacking on the code and I 
implemented this feature for screens (straight forward to apply to the 
horizontal app drawer). In my implementation when you're on the first screen 
and swipe from left to right the first screen animates completely to the right 
revealing the background image and then the last screen animates in from left 
to right. The two animations play back to back seamlessly and are super smooth 
on my Droid X. Obviously the same behavior exist on the last page except the 
direction of swipe and animation are reversed. Currently I still need to 
improve the wallpaper scrolling behavior (currently it just jumps) during the 
"wrapping" from first to last and last to first.

I've used Home++ for a while (from Helix Launcher 1) simply for the ability to 
"scroll workspace" completely around in either direction.  I keep mostly 
pictures of my wife and kids on my home screens and scroll around my 
backgrounds often.

Home++ also added launched apps and bookmarks from the scrollable bar at 
bottom, replacing the app tray.  Unfortunately, it's not customizable or 
dockable and the icons are all white.  Helix's dockable launcher looks better, 
IMO, but provides less functionality and requires more home screen shortcuts.

I'm now hooked on ADW.  I admire its combination of a simple, most-used 
features launch bar (Helix style, but more customizable) and a dockable, 
horizontal-scrolling launch bar, similar to Home++ -- brilliant, the best of 
both worlds!  While Home++ never allowed customization of their scrollbar, I do 
prefer the way it free-scrolled, rather than stick-to-your-finger scrolling.

Home++ looks best with an even number of screens, allowing symmetrical 
wallpaper to center on the main screen and meet both sides in the middle of the 
screen, far side of the loop.

The Galaxy S style app drawer is new to me, and I prefer it.  Looped scrolling 
makes sense there as well.  I love the idea.

I just now realized what the OP said. Loop scrolling for the homescreens and 
dockbar. I like that as much as loop scrolling in the app drawer.

So now it's loop scrolling for the homescreen workspace, app drawer,  AND the 
dockbar. This just keeps getting better!

Any chance of this happening in the future?  I already believe this is the best 
launcher available.  (I don't care what ppl say about the new 3d home 
replacements.  They are mostly ridiculous.)
