I want to make a weather widget display using the same font as the honeycomb clock. However I don't know of any weather widgets that let me edit the font, our use images as the font. Kind of like how one more clock uses skins. Anyone have any ideas?

Beautiful Widgets lets you make and share skins. They've even got a sort of SDK for them.
I used the honeycomb widget images and created a font so I could switch the Clockopia font in my lockscreen clock, if you need the font tff just let me know and I can send it your way.

apparently minimalistic text just added the feature to read ttf's. If you can send the one you've made i'd love to check it out, see how well it works. thanks!

And the dev made a Honeycomb skin earlier this week for it too.
you gotta buy Beautiful widgets though, i was hoping for a cash free solution. The ttf support on Minimalistic text is for donators only :/ any other options?

*Updated: Added more icons and .psd file.
I wasn't intending on making a thread for these, but i got quite a few PM's about them, so instead of replying to everyone, one by one, i decided to post it here...
What is PolaDroid??? Polaroid widgets that are arbitrarily designed to overlap one another.
I use Desktop Visualizer (large) to set up the widgets. I also recommend using Launcher Pro Plus to re-size and place them.
Included Icons:
Browser
Camera
Contacts
Email
Facebook
Fantasy Football
Market
Music
Spades
Text
Tools
Twitter
Video
Voicemail
Weather
*Bank of America
*Favorites
*Games
*Navigation
*Froyo (for whatever reason)
i will add more icon if enough people request similar ones
now for the screenshots:
hope you guys like them

once you get the icon on the screen (using desktop visualizer LARGE), re-size to a 1x1 icon.. then when u get a few of them on the screen placed where u want, expand each icon and they will overlap.
Oh ok thanks for that man
i really love this but would u please post the psd
Thanks for sharing! Currently using it on my Captivate.
Wonder if anyone has previously requested from you something for Maps and/or GPS

thanx.. you should check the new download link.. i updated with more icons plus added the .psd file so others can make icons as well
Hello, excellent work and great idea on how to get them to overlap! I see you have included a psd file, what size should we make the pictures so your layer looks correct on top?
Thanks
Trying to get this running on my CDMA Hero....but not lining up, after I get 3 icons on the screen, it says I can't fit anymore so I can't add the 4th to each page. Is this not possible to do on the CDMA Hero?
EDIT: nvm I think i was just not making the icons small enough initially after the resize. gonna try it again now.
when there was a new
how do you resize them? Im running LPP and the standard widget resize doesnt seem to work. long pressing only gives me the option to delete, not resize

what size are u using in desktop visualizer?
thats the thing...im not seeing an option for size in desktop visualizer. When i select the icon, its going to my home screen in 1x1, but a long press doesnt give me the option to resize it.

Hi,
as we got the Android clock (TypoClock - thx to poyensa) I would like to request a widget for weather like in the pic attached. Would be very cool if somebody could make this for us.
Regards
same here, that kind of widget would nicely match lots of themes
No one else? Would be really cool for "clean" look.

Hi,
I really thought I was up-to-date with all theming related widgets and apps..but today I saw this picture of a clock widget with reflections and customizable colors plus customizable shades!!!
My dream of a clock widget! As far as I know even the great chronotopia clock widget can "just" rotate, but not do reflections....
Does anybody know what widget this is?
thanks!
Notice the IPhone maybe? But it looks like a lwp not just a clock. Try out wp clock

yes- maybe it is just an iphone app... but it is definitely not an lwp.
Because its from an blog for phone styles and the wall is free to download without any widget...
I guess its a themed widget of an iphone app...

Just now saw this. I think you can do this with Chronotopia. Granted I haven't tried it but this is how I would go about it. Duplicate the clock, rotate it so it's upside down. Then in the gradient make it so the alpha blend is 0 at the bottom (or top since it is rotated). That should do the trick, you can also adjust the x position of the gradient to make it fade out faster or slower. Hit me up if you need more help or let me know if it works.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a clock widget that supports the new Roboto font from ICS. I usually use Beautiful Widgets, but there are no accurate ICS skins available. Thanks.
I suppose not.
I dont of a clock but I 100% agree with your signature.

Thank you.
The "Sense Analog Clock Widget" by Factory Widgets shows the clock in the new roboto font if you have installed the font on your device. The included weather app sucks though...I'm looking for one that has a good integrated weather app, as well as support for the roboto font...
There is now one in the BW Super Clock Skins list.
It's called Roboto by JoshKinsey.
It's not bad - I've got it on 4x1 Super Clock Widget.
if you use the SuperClock widget, there's the Ice Cream Sandwich skin by Tama-Chan that looks very good.
The clock widget for widget locker has an ics font option though you can't use it on the desktop.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already!
I posted this in another thread, but mine looks like this. Not terribly interesting apart from the Widget.
For anyone that is interested, I'm using ADW Launcher, the Widget is a Beautiful Widget with an opacity setting of 30% I think. I also hide the icon labels, as it makes it a lot cleaner! I set the Columns to 7 and the Rows to 6 to get as many icons on the screen as I could without it looking too crowded.
The widgets used are as follows:
Widget Type: Beautiful SuperClock 4x3 (Tablet) - I stretched it out so it fits the screen better
Super Clock Skin: honeyclock
Weather Skin: FlatWhite
What are you using for screen cap?

I'm using the Dalvik Debug Monitoring Service (ddms.bat) in the tools directory of the Android SDK install. You must also have the correct drivers installed, which if you've rooted your KF, you should already have.
Once it's detected and connected to your device, you can go to Device > Screen Capture.

what launcher are you using?
I downloaded an app called ScreenshotUX, something like that. There used to be a bunch of screenshot apps in the market, what happened? Are they getting the boot from Google or something?

just went in to the file structure and replaced the image with my own. the wallpaper is from a poster who put up some alternate wallpapers to use instead of the defaults. i just pasted it 21 times in a folder and renamed them to the default names, so it never changes. in reality it's changing every time, it changes to the same pic each time. here's the pic. cant remember the link where i got it.

noticed you have the same weather widget bug, also happens to the pandora widget. something causes it to stretch like that, returns to normal after reset. you know what causes it and if there's a fix?
This is my homescreen as of now.
I really liked the wood bookshelf style of the kindle, so I decided to make wallpapers that would give that same look to other launchers (I'm using ADW).
I also attached a zipped folder with them, hope you guys enjoy.
Comments are always appreciated

Here you go.
mclock, fancy widgets, and stock wallpapers
Probably a stupid question but you guys that are using different launchers (which in this thread is everyone it seems lol) are you rooted or not? I'm going to side-install a few launchers and had no plans on rooting at this point BUT if it helps the alternate launchers work better I mine as well. Thanks for input and again, sorry if it's a dumb questions.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most of us are rooted simply because a lot of ppl seem to have several apps only found on the Android market. Of course you can sideload them without the market, but I think that instead of going through all that trouble most ppl have just rooted and installed the market (especially since it's so easy to do and also allows you to take screenshots).
