[Q/REQUEST]Fully transparent twitter widget with completely white text interface - General Questions and Answers

I am looking for something like pure messenger or launcher pro's modified skins, that has a completely white text and interface, on a fully transparent background.
These are my screenshots, and you can see that the 1st one has a rss reader, I am looking for something similar to that. Pure messenger is good but it has that blue "t" in the right of every tweet, indicating that the message is twitter related, if you know what I mean. Also, I have found mods that add transparency to the official twitter widget, but the blue "t" is there as well, on the left of the "what's happening" text. On pure messenger I was also able to remove "contact names", which was also a great plus. Is there something on the market that would help me?

Ok so here's my 1st attempt, if I could get rid of those blue twitter icons in the right of the tweets I would be a happy man. Is there any setting for it? Or any skin that makes them white/black?
edit: its pure messenger widget

Each skin has a folder in the pmw folder on your SD card. Find the Twitter icon PNG in which ever skin you're using and replace it with a transparent png and you should be good to go, theoretically.

I cant find any folder related to pure messenger on my sdcard...

Pure messenger widget seems to be quite laggy on my nexus one. I wonder why. Anyone has lighter widget? I'm searching for the all-in-one update widget too..

I couldn't do anything with the pure messenger widget, those twitter icons cannot be removed. Are there any widget alternatives for what I'm looking for?

Hi! Know this thread is quite old and I am Wondering if you found the widget you where looking for? Looking for a similar myself...

Handcent SMS Widget

hey, is there a widget for the Handcent SMS ?
thanks from TheTmac
Yes.
Regards,
Rudi
where can i find it ?
i mean a widget like the one which comes with the phone when you buy it.. that's one thing i miss with the handcent sms.. (HTC Legend)
Handcent Widget Included
The widget is bundled with the application itself.
Having installed it, simply look for the widget (long press desktop, you know )
However, all it does is displaying the number of unread messages.
yea i know that one..
but i wanted a widget which is like the one which comes with the phone..

Pure is the best bet for something that looks like that.
You can set Handcent to display a popup that looks very much like the 'widget' you linked to.
MyWidgets.

It's called "Pure messenger widget" by Fancois DESLANDES.
and if you have home++ for home, it's a scrollable.

[REQ] Alternative to HTC News widget

Anyone want to create a scrollable news/rss widget to replace HTC News widget? Any other peeps out there want to see this? I don't want to use Sense and it's my favorite widget. Have tried to no avail to find something similar and nothing comes close. The other I was looking for was a replacement for Friend Stream, and Pure Messenger fit the bill perfectly. But haven't seen a suitable 'News' alternative.
I use Newsroom Pro.

Does it have a scrollable widget that integrates all the feeds not just one? I installed the free one earlier and immediately ditched it because it didn't do this. Maybe pro does?

(REQ) contacts widget similar to sense

Can somebody point me in the direction of a contact widget like that in sense UI? I've probably downloaded about 15 different widgets and none of them have what I'm looking for. Id like to find one that pulls the contacts photo from Facebook, preferably a scrollable widget. Any ideas?
Search for Scrollable ContactWidget in the market. Or buy the plus version of Launcher Pro.
But not sure whether they would be able to grab contacts and pics from facebook.
Launcherpro Plus is the way to go. He always has good updates and he has been adding alot of widgets that if you didnt know were HTC's. Well worth the money.

Scrollable contact widget for 1.6 (using ADW)?

Hey guys, do you know a scrollable contact widget that works with 1.6? i'm thinking of something like pure messenger, only for contacts.
I know that we'll get eclair soon, but i still wanna knows if there exists something like that. I'm using adw launcher, which is capable of scrolling widgets.
Talking of 2.1, can you tell me a good scrollable contact widget for that? If i'm not wrong, launcher pro (plus?) brings one built in, right?
Cheers

Nope, 2.1 upwards only.
Not that kind you search, but with Launcher-X Pro you can create widgets, at least with contacts (, apps & shortcuts).
For example you can create a widget where you can see up to 7 contacts.
By pressing a button in the widget you can turn to next side of the widget, where are the next 7 contacts.
In every widget you create you can add up to 72 contacts (apps or shortcuts).
Launcher-X Pro is availible in Market in 2 Versions (free & paid)
At the second screen from my phone you can see one of the widgets with my most used contacts. (pictures are pixelized)

Just have a look and try the free version of that app.
I like it.
Thanks for your answers!
I'm already using launcher-x pro, and i really like it for having my most used apps etc at hand.
But scrolling/swiping like in the pure messenger widget is just more intuitive since i don't have to precisely push a button. sounds stupid, i know, but it really makes things easier
I wonder why no one is creating a widget like this, pure messenger already shows that it's possible when you have a capable launcher. and ADW is easily one of the most used launchers out there Or is there another limitation when we're speaking about contacts instead of messages? Probably we're just obsolete fossils with our donut
Thanks anyway for your advices!
Cheers

Ive tried to look for a widget like that too, but had no luck. The best thing you can do is wait for 2.1 to come and then install LauncherPro Plus.. You'll get a scrollable people widget, much like the htc's contact widget.

You can use GDE home and it has built in task bar and additional 4x1 dock that can add any place. you can add any shortcut or contact and change icon and rename each the way you want in both dock and task bars. whats more is that you can add any number of icons and scroll both ways. Check it out.

Google Now widget... missing?

Just unboxed my Pixel.... wow it is fast...
but... my homescreen setup involves having a large Google Now widget front and centre.... but when i went to add it, the widget isn't there....
i've seen some articles about how the now widget was missing from some other phones that were trying out the Pixel launcher? Apparently the google search strip shows transparent google now style notifications - but not seen any yet...
i know all the info is on the screen to the left of the homescreen... but i want to see it all on my homescreen
anyone seen / found it?
Okay. Pixel launcher just updated on my handset and now the Google Now widget is back.
<Panic over>
