[Q] Renaming apps/ADW widget load order - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I've been using ADW launcher Ex for a while now and I use Desktop Visualiser widgets to place some nice backgrounds behind my icons and widgets. The problem here is that ADW displays the widgets in load order: Widgets starting with the letter "A" in front and with the letter "Z" in the back. This means my Desktop Visualiser background widget suddenly jumps in front of my Music widget.
Is there a way to rename Desktop Visualiser to, for example, "ZZZZDesktop Visualiser" or can I influence the load order in a different way?

remove align to grid

does anyone think its possible to edit the launcher.apk to make widgets free from aligning to grid? I'ed like to align my clock widget to look nice against my background.
I don't think so because its set to grid for stability throughout the hole home app. it is possibble though to create a program which would allow you to choose the size of the widgets like in sweeter home.

Your favourite widgets?

My home screen seem to be somewhat empty. On the main one I have the Beautiful Home widget, and to the right I have Switch Widget Pro, and the rest are empty.
Do you guys know of any other good ones? Looking for a good RSS reader, and maybe music player as widgets?
Anything else cool/interesting too

Am i the only one experiencing big problems with beautiful widgets?
anytime i use it, it slows down all my homescreens like hell (i'm using adw launcher). when i delete it from screen, my phone works smoothly. i tried all settings, refresh rates, etc. nothing helped.
some advice?
I am also using Beautiful Widget with ADW. I use the small home widget and haven't experienced any slowdowns. Try updating the the latest versions of adw and beautiful widgets from the market.
I have only these working fine with Zeam Launcher.

[Q] Sidescrolling shortcuts?

Is there an app or widget that allows me to place shortcuts into the homescreen where they can side-scroll to view more shortcuts? Like side scrolling on MIUI notification bar here at 0:30 of the video.
SiMi Folder
in addition widgets of Folder Organizer or design options in Sweeter Home launcher (still in beta).
Thanks. Downloading now and giving them a try. Am liking SiMi folder.

folders

I'm not exactly used to a folder limit of 12 appps. Anyways of increasing the stock folder app to hold infinite apps like it used to be able to? I tried some on the market but they look like crap.
I think your only options are either folder apps (like Apps Organizer or Folder Organizer) or home replacements (Apex Launcher). Apex Launcher has good looking, customizable folder icons that can look either just like the HTC folders (square boxes with a 2x2 grid) or you can change them to circles or rounded boxes and have them display icons in a 3x3 grid or in a stack.
Of course if you use an alternate launcher, you miss out on all those great HTC Sense widgets.

How to make widgets span 5 cells

Previously I've used the ADW launcher but have found every phone I've had become unmanageably slow over time. I've never been able to identify the problem but this time I'm trying to leave as many things stock as I can bear, starting with the launcher.
The default launches seems palatable enough but I can't workout how to resize widgets to fill the width of the screen.
Two of my favorite widgets to have on the home screen are "Fancy Widgets" (a clock/weather widget) and "Agenda Widget" (a calendar widget). Both these programs have several different sized widgets available but neither have widgets that are 5 cells wide. Is there a way to stretch the widget in the default launcher like one can in ADW?
Attached is an example of what my home screen currently looks like.
Thanks,
Slarti.
P.S.
I hope I'm asking this in the correct place.
(I wasn't able to find a Q&A section for G3 themes)
Uh, I've found that after releasing the agenda widget when dragging resize grippers become available on the corners.
This works perfectly to resize Agenda Widget to a 5x2 box.
Unfortunatly this doesn't work for Fancy Widgets.
It should be added as default feature

I think it only works for default apps in the phone.
Hmmmm
