OK, where to start. I've been searching forums and the internet in general trying to find a way to mix and match Fancy widget & Beautiful Widgets to get the desired effect I'm looking for.
I've been trying endlessly to find a way to get Fancy widget to open up Beautiful Widgets Forecast when I touch the weather icon and there seems to be no easy way to do this (if it can be done at all).
Now, I must say I have tried Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widgets and Weather & Toggle Widget and so far I love the look of Fancy Widget, love the look of Beautiful Widgets Forecast and didn't like Weather & Toggle Widget at all.
I have noticed that the Forecast app/add-on does appear in my Recent apps when I long press Home; so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me figure out a way to get Fancy Widget to see it as an app when choosing an app to open when touching the weather icon.
Also, Beautiful Widgets by default brings up the Alarms section of the Clock app but I can only get Fancy Widget to bring up the Clock app instead of directly bringing up the Alarms section. If anyone knows a way to achieve this also, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
actually i have a Desire with the Cyanogen Rom @ Nexus Style so i think my question is @ the right forum.
I like the stock news + weather widget, but i can not find a clock which look similar.
What i like to have is the Lockscreen Clock + Date on the News&Weather widget background. Somebody saw something like this? I tried several clock apps and of course beautiful widgets, i did a skin for beatiful widgets with the same background but i can't ged rid of the weather there
Is it hard to do such an app? Anyone out there who want's the same and is probably capable of doing such an app?
See the attachments plz. Postet 1. the background, 2. the clock, 3. what it should look like (with the proper background of course ).
Get "Beautiful Widgets". It has what you are looking for
Hello guys. So i haven't seen a weather widget that is like 4x1 that holds a 4 or 5 day forecast. An example of what im talking about would be to...look at the stock HTC weather widget (the large one) and only take the bottom part of it...with the 4 day forecast OR the take the news and weather application (N1 Genie app) and the bottom part of the weather information. I think this weather widget would sweet.
My reason for this is that i don't really need a clock that takes up the same space and only shows me the current weather. if its hot right now i know its hot There are just so many clock instances and current weather but i would like to see what the future weather would be at a glance when i turn on the screen.
IF there is already an app out there I'm sorry for the request....and please let me know what it is (buy or free).
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY REPLIES!
+1000!!
I've been searching everywhere for something like this!
I couldn't believe that no one has made one yet? It would be the perfect weather app!
Snowstorm will do this for you, it's in the market. There's an option when configuring the 4x1 widget to show days in the widget.
Weather Widgets (yr.no) by Thomware
cool thanks guys ill take a look at them =)
What are the best Weather apps or widgets, of any variety and quickly why?
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I'm compiling a list of threads that will help people find the best apps/widgets of each category. Will recompile when done so your help is greatly appreciated!
Looks like Beautiful Widgets will take the win here, but I'm sure many will want another app/widget that's free.
weather bug--free
For Weather you are spoilt for choice.
Besides what has already been mentioned there's:-
eWeather HD Widget & Barometer ~ £1.85
Palmary Weather Pro ~ £1.85
Weather Pro ~ £2.13
Go Weather ~ Free
...... and many, many others which I will leave for someone else to add to.
i used optimus x2 weather widget..
its called today briefing..
I'm by no means well-versed in weather apps as I'm only starting to play with them, but these are my observations so far. Accuweather has nice icons that I like but keeps force closing on me. Hope that will be fixed soon. Genie news and weather is good too, you can choose to display just weather.
Beautiful Widgets is my choice. Fully customizable with downloadable skins for Clock, Weather, Battery widget, and Toggle Widgets.
Press the weather area and it will launch your choice of Weather App *I use WeatherBug Paid (I try to support if its a mainstay)* the Radar can be slow though but it works..
Press the Time spot and will launch you choice of Clock or Alarm. *I use Gentle Alarm*
Press the Date area and will launch your choice of Calendar. *I use Jorte*
All of that is customizable. For instance if you wanted to you could config it to launch Angry Birds on press of any of above or any other app or shortcut of your choosing.
I love the Animated Weather effects. though last week during Snowpocylpse here is Chicago area I thought the drifting was a bit overkill... LOL
After playing with the Sensation and Sense for a couple days now? The ability to run weather on my lockscreen has literally just blown me away. I don't really care about the prettiest app to do it but in your experience? What's the most reliable lockscreen weather app?
Widgetlocker + your favorite Weather widget
I use WidgetLocker and add Fancy Widgets and/or Beautiful Widgets. Love the options available between those.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been playing with both for the last couple days. Anything else that puts the weather on the lockscreen?
I like GOTO lockscreen. It's visually impressive (though weather is certainly not the focus of it's visuals and is only a small part) and has practical uses like quickly jumping to phone, SMS, gmail, being able to set phone silent or vibrate, and music lockscreen controls (though this only works with stock music players), weather, battery, phone owner's name on lockscreen.

Still not satisfied with all of these choices. Anything else out there?
I use go laucher and go weather, but widget weather of HTC is the one!
is there a way to turn off the animation that comes on after the unlock of a phone?

Those look great, thanks!
I want a weather widget that has videos playing in the widget that show the condition of the weather. Kind of like the Samsung or LG weather widgets. I know Yahoo Weather does static images but I want Video. Is there any type like this that will work with any launcher. IE Nova???

I haven't come across exactly what you are looking for.
What I suggest, however, is using live weather wallpapers. They serve the same purpose that you want but in a slightly different way.
Here are a few examples:
Weather Wallpaper by yitiaocailHM
Weather Screen by Hamster Beat - it's not free though
Animated Weather Widget, Clock by Mobilityflow Publishing - they list animated widgets under features in development
Unfortunately I can't provide links as I haven't reached my 10 post limit yet.
Vitesse.
BUMP Until I get a answer

In his case (as in my case too), phone/android version is irrelevant because we want a weather widget for a 3rd party launcher and NOT for a propierary launcher with a propietary dependant weather widget (like samsung weather widget, or xperia weather widgets that are only compatible with their propietary launchers...)
Anyway... answering myself, i've found two widgets that does exactly what we want, but they can be very laggy without a potent phone
--> FineWeather Widget
--> Animated Weather Widgets
Both in play store
