Weather and Toggle Widgets vs Beautiful Widgets - Android Apps and Games

So, I've had Weather and Toggle widgets for ages...since I got my phone about a month after Launch (Epic 4g). I paid like 99c for it, so no worries there. I've lately been using minimalistic text for the time/bat stat stuff and w&tw for the weather & toggles. After search around in the market and xda I see tons of peeps using BW. I see a few themes that I like in screen caps and such but am not entirely sure if I want to switch or not... (As once I use something it's rare I switch)
So am looking for opinions on the two, the who/what/where/when etc etc

}
So there's the current homescreen (am running stock unrooted epic, despite homescreen)
Epic is as Epic does

Also interested in this but you can get Beautiful Widgets from the Market. Does the exact same thing.
Beautiful Widgets doesn't quite do it like this though. That has a dedicated screen where you have to click on the weather first, this looks like it is always snowing or raining on the homescreen.
This would be awesome. Beautiful Widgets only affects the actual widget itself.
thats most likely gonna come with 2.1 it was gonna come with the stock hero but they took it off becuase they thought it was gonna make the phone a little laggier?idk but it was on a early release of HTC Sense that never made it when the phone released
It is part of 2.1 the files are called weather wallpapers I found whist digging for all the stuff needed for friendstream

Skinning ChompSMS Widget

So I use chompSMS all the time, tried everything else around and it allows me to reply quickly to txt when i need to. Recently I been working on creating some themes but haven't got things to where I want to release them. I Bought the extended controls on market and really loved the customization. More colors would be nice but I thought using the same idea or other apps such as chomp would be great. As of right now I skinned my widget and things are not perfect but, I will get it there soon enough. Maybe at some point I could build an app that would allow you to customize these widgets and apps.
Here is a screen shot of what I did to mine. If you understand how to edit png files and install apps then the process isnt too hard. PM me if you want the instructions other wise i found the widget backgroun in /res/drawable-port-hdpi. From what I can see most things in it could be customized.

[REQ] Galaxy S clock app

I'm wanting to change the stock clock app that the nexus 1 uses. I remember seeing the clock from the galaxy s phones.
Basically i would like to from this

To this
Any halp is appreciated.
That app is the Samsung Home Dock, what sadly, does not run on any devices not containing the TW framework. I've already tried it porting, no luck yet.
The App Is Called "Desk Home"
Even If It's Ported It's kinda useless...
Cannot Launch and/or Set Alarms, Launch News and finally cannot set and/or get any Weather Info at all...
As you understand many of It's features are (Hard)Linked with SGS Framework and It's accompanying Apps and Plugins
Anyways If you want only the Looks, Grab within this Post
Installs 100% and Can Be executed 100%
Tested on Vanilla/Stock Froyo N1, CM 6x, CM 6x Nightly build #2xx and #3xx

[Q] Complete Way To Save Launcher (ADW) Layout?

So I'm one those sillies with widgets everywhere, particularly using Desktop Visualizer. But I'm also one of those sillies that flashes ROMs with profuse frequency.
Using ADW, when I backup and restore, the regular shortcut icons always load fine, but the widgets do not. Is there anything special I can do? My screens take a good half hour to rebuild from scratch.
I've tried most things I can think of. Obviously I always have desktop visualizer installed before I restore, I've tried restoring the apps involved with titanium in just about every configuration, but I can't think of any more options.
In return, happles:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
P.S. I'm terribly sorry if I missed this in search or if it's in the wrong place.
bummmmmp
im facing the same issue too. No way to do this ?

Widget that just makes an adjustable opaque black box...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if such a widget exists that essentially creates an adjustable black box that you can send behind widgets (send to back).
I use an old widget called "Advanced Clock Widget" that lets you hide the clock and data, essentially doing the same thing... but that's all I use it for.
Like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These are different widgets with transparent backgrounds and this helps create a uniform look.

(in case the picture isnt showing for some reason)
Maybe you can use KLWP (Kustom Live Wallpaper) app for this purpose. It also has a Widget version.
It basically allows you to create customized live wallpapers and widgets.
thanks ill give it a shot
