What widgets are you folks using these days? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have found myself creating only shortcuts to apps lately rather than only using widgets. I always liked the appeal of being able to use the widgets, but it just seems easier for me to use the app shortcuts these days. Only widgets I'm using are weather and clock.
So what other widgets are you guys currently using? Just wanting to know if I am missing out on a cool widget. They are after all one of the things that make owning an Android unique.

I like swype pad, and circle launcher for organizing my apps. Gives a clean look.
smooth calendar: customizable and has nice settings
beautiful widgets for weather and stuff, highly customizable
desktop visualizer: make anything an icon, very useful
missed it: see missed calls text, and emails
launch-x pro: allows you to have like 12+ apps in a 4x1 area, awesome for my quick contact buttons
I use some others but those are loaded onto every phone I get

HTC Weather/Clock App

Hey guys, so i was wondering if there is a way to get the HTC weather/clock app on our phones?
Did a forum and internet search and nothing came up. I certainly can't convert it over myself cause i don't know the first thing about modding phones or apps or widgets. Figured i would ask around and see what the consensus is!
Also, if it is possible, and i understand it is a newer phone, but i really like the widget from the new LG phone on verizon. Pic below is of the widget on that new LG phone!
Download Fancy Widgets, upgrade to the paid version, go into appearance settings, clock skin and download the h7c skin and apply it. Also, change the clock type to flip clock and you're set.

fancy widgets or beautiful widgets
I've tried fancywidgets and beautiful widgets, and they are very very similar, but I preferred beautiful widgets. Beautiful seemed to run better for me. Appearance wise, they are basically identical.
agreed. i love beautiful widgets.
Beautiful widgets is free to try. Search beautiful widgets lite in the market. If you want to customize more, then buy it; but if you just want the htc look, lite should be enough

Agenda Lockscreen?

So can users make custom lockscreens? not just wallpapers, but the interactive ones?
I would pay money to have a lockscreen that showed the agenda widget. I'm taking about the "live" lockscreens out whatever they are called, similar to how you can have updates out stocks on your lockscreen.
I've been looking, hopefully I didn't miss anything.

[REQUEST] Special Launcher for Widgets

I have a lot of widgets and lot of them are fullscreen widgets.
They need a lot of space and a lot of homescreens and switching between that many screes is a hell lot tedious.
I would suggest some developer to try making a launcher with following feature.
Icons for widgets. Click the 1x1 icon to see the full widget.
Others may put their ideas too...

I've been using apw since removing sense, suits all my needs.
I use simple calendar widget as a 4 x 1 home screen widget . It's has highly configurable and customizable colors and fonts.
For full screen you can't beat the sense calendar month widget, unless you're not on sense and then another vote for Android pro widget

I got business calendar when it was cheap but I think its an awesome calendar haven't had any problems as of yet with both Google and jorte events dissapeared on it very annoying.
Totally posted in the wrong thread, sorry Anyways, Pure Calendar Widget Agenda is the best
