changeing SMS style?

Does anyone know if theres a possibility to switch the SMS conversation look into speech bubbles? (iphone like)
would be nice if its possible to replace the actual htc style
As far as i know you should try handcent sms app. I belive that i saw such bubbles in one of the available styles of this sms app.

Email notifications

Hi all - first post so i hope it a relatively decent question. Did have a search but couldnt find anything related to this particular issue on this phone.
Im not sure whether this is better in the apps section or the phone specific but thought i would ask here first.
I have an unrooted S2 and i would like to use another Launcher.
My problem is that i cannot seem to find and App or Launcher or anything that can alert me of unread emails.
I have tried 'missed it' and executive assistant but to no avail.
Missed it works for calls and SMS but not email.
I should add that i am not using G mail but using the built in samsung email App with two accounts (1 POP and 1 Exchange).
If i receive an email using the default launcher and open the app drawer there is an email icon which displays the unread count in a red bubble. So if i add this icon to desktop or to the dock i can see unread mails.
If i am using Launcher Pro for example this icon is not in my app drawer or anywhere that i can find it. In stead there is exactly the same icon in the drawer but this does not display the unread count.
I am assuming that this is a semi sansung widget (although i cannot add it to desktop as a widget even in the standard launcher).
I have also tried using the social hub with launcher pro (and Go launcher and ADW) but again i get no notifications.
I still get the notifications in the notification bar no matter what launcher i use but these dissapear after a while.
This is currently the only thing stopping me using a different Launcher and it would be great if anyone had any ways around this.
Unfortunately i cannot and dont really want to forward my emails to Gmail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nath
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Thanks

[Q] What's the best sms popup app to use?

I like SE`s stock sms app but I hate opening the whole app for a quick reply....I ve used sms popup from the market but I m not really satisfied......
you can test go launcher's sms popup. It is themeable and you got your sms directly on the desktop screen, where you also have the possibility to directly answer. In Stock you just can pull down the status bar to read your sms, if one arriced. That's quite handy I think.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
+1 for the statusbar

[Q] Minimal, configurable, email and SMS widgets, compatible with K-9

I'm trying to set up my homescreen with minimal icons and text based widgets. The idea is to get all the at a glance information I want on one screen, without any ugly inconsistent widget backgrounds.
Android Agenda widget is customisable enough to let me do that for my calendar, but I'd like to do the same for my recent emails (ideally in my K-9 unified inbox) and SMSes. Something that will just show the sender and subject line/first few words, white text on a transparent background (or configurable so I can get it looking like that).
Does anyone have any recommendations? Is this something I could do through tasker or locale: take the notifications from my SMS and email and output them as text in a widget? If it is, how would I go about that?
