Favorit Widgets.. Post them here!!!!

I will update this post later tonight with screen shots of my favorit widgets. I want this post to include peoples favorit widgets, a description on that or those widgets(sometimes pictures arnt self explanitory). Also what launcher you are using may or may not be neccessary.
Thanks, Thomas
P.S. I will update this in a few hours with my favorit widgets and descriptions on them widgets. Just trying to get the ball rolling already because its mid day here and widgets are a hot topic for people not using sense. Also mods if there is already a post like this you can delet this post.

I'm using the paid version LauncherPro Plus, and heres the widgets I like:
The People widget that LPP includes
Fancy Widget (identical to the htc time/weather widget)
Pandora Widget (pandora radio)
Pure Grid Calendar
Switch Pro (has about everything you could want to see and/or toggle on/off, including 4G, vibrate, battery % remaining, brightness, flashlight, wifi, gps, etc.)
Twidroid
Androidlet Photo Widget (lets you show photos from a variety of sources (think photo.net, pbase, webshots, flickr, picasa, sdcard, etc.) , rotates them based on set time you specify)
Also heres a cool little read:

I like what they wrote here:
Enter DoubleTwist. It looks like iTunes, runs on Windows and Mac machines, and syncs with most or all Android phones, just like iTunes syncs with iPhones. It slurps all of your music and video files from iTunes, and even pulls up your iTunes playlists. (If you're like me, this is of utmost importance.) DoubleTwist has Amazon's music store and Android's app market built in, and it even notifies you when you have music files that aren't compatible with it, because of Apple copy protection. It's not perfect, but it's a huge step forward for a platform that needs a better media juggler. Best of all, there's a DoubleTwist app for the phone itself, so you can easily find videos, albums and playlists. And did I mention it's free?

Yeah this is an awesome weather app!
I really hope they could figure out a way to integrate this with a widget, or even live wallpaper for the go launcher.
A neat note on this, if you use the video livewalllpaper, these videos work great with it and are stored by the app on your sdcard.

Excellent! Love it!
And runs totally smooth on my hero.

I already send you an email, I entered my place and the application found it, but when I applyed it, a place 30 miles away showed up.
Also I am not a big fan of the short video, everytime it will repeat itself it shows a white flash for a tenth of a second....which happens often as it is a very short video...
I am extremely satisfied with GO Launcher and GO Sms, but GO weather really needs some improvement before I will give up Palmary Weather.
Cheers,
Arnold

Realy Nice new Update !!!!
Is it possible to add an Configuration Screen for the Live Wall ?
It would be nice if i have the possibility to hide/unhide some Informations on the Wallpaper.
At the Moment it looks a little bit overloaded

Love it! Fahrenheit doesn't want to stay. Keeps switching to Celsius. Also, I love GO SMS, GO Launcher, GO Weather, and I really want you guys to release GO Browser (translate it to english asap!!)

looks very nice!
one thing would be great:
right now you are storing data at /sdcard/xweather/
it would be great if you could honor the Android documentation [1] and store your all data (*.mp4) at /sdcard/Android/data/<package_name>/files/
this way my sdcard stays clean and your app gains karma

[Q] What are your top 5 favorite widgets.

Just want to see what everyone's favorite or useful widget is.
1 MEMO (LG)
2 Pure Calender
3 Beautiful weather
4 Live Sports
5 Battery Life

1) Minimalistic Text
2) SiMi Folder/clock
3) Pandora
Those three plus WidgetLocker and LauncherPro basically comprise what I need to install to use a phone.
I also use SoundHound, Flashlight, and Battery Monitor, but they aren't really favorites, just useful.

Battstatt, widgetoid, fancy Widgets, clockr, minimalistic text.
Some do the same thing.

I always thought that most widgets do some serious damage to battery life, so I've avoided them. Is this not the case?

1.) Fancy widgets- home 5x3.
2.) Beautiful widgets- toggles.
3.) Player pro- 5x5.
4.) Picture frame.
5.) Titanium backup- backup all new apps and newer versions.

WhatsApp does not allow external applications to access messages. We have sent them an email about it.

Excellent work!
Just installed, gave it a whirl for 5 minutes and paid for licence.
Tip top.
Thanks
EDIT: Stock email and RSS news widgets would be great for a future release.

Very very good.
I would just ask for losing the text shadows. Or adding an option.
And if cause, a news rss widget.
Have already uninstalled Colorize

People judge by the default theme instead of the actual functionality.
Just check the 'Use Thin Frame' and suddenly it won't look like LP.
Lets take the people widget as an example
APW shows Facebook pictures of contacts.
APW allows you to change click action to direct dial or direct message (even for each contact separately).
APW can sort contacts by frequently called first (In the paid version it even allows custom order and creation of custom groups).
APW can show contacts also in a list view.
It is true that LP widgets have their advantages like month flipping in the calendar and generally they behave much better on Launcher Pro
(Note: Launcher pro only support an old scrollable widgets API so any scrollable widget except for LP's own is not as slick as it could be).
We have absolutely nothing against Launcher Pro, it is a great launcher !
You are all free to try both

'use thin frame' should be enabled by default.

Do you plan to implement notifications with read, unread, mark all as read etc. options like colorize widgets have?
Edit: colorize widgets doesn't have this option. I remeber seing it somewhere but I can't remeber where.

[APP] Widget Window - Best companion to Mutiwindow Apps

Guys, I just came across this great piece of software called Widget Window.
You can use it to create floating windows of any existing homescreen widget. It also places a convenient link in notifications where you can get your widgets in and out of the screen. Plus it´s free with no ads. Really recommend it.
Widgets I´m currently using:
Application Monitor - to replace the missing taskmanager from JB
Assistive Light - quick access to a saving torch anytime
Genius Widget - convenient Scientific Calculator (better than stock calc and themed to fit my current homescreen)
Stick Notes HD - quick post-it time of notes as S-Notes should have

Very handy app thanks

Very nice. I was asking but I just figured it out :
It is possible to resize the floating widget (click just above the floating widget's title bar). There's also a well made help in the app's menu.
