I tried a search and this thread is close to what I want. But not really.
Ideally I would have a 1x2 vertical widget for CPU usage. I can do the CPU part just fine, but no text label.
Is there a way in miminalistic text to define a blank text box and type in whatever I feel there? It would be real neat so I could label my widgets.
Yes. Make a custom layout and just add a static text box (found under Misc.), and type in what you want.

This is what happens when you have been playing with something for too long and you eyes get tired.

That looks like the one in the attached screenshot. It's a TouchFlo2d clock from my HTC Wing.
Transparent background, just the hands, no numbers.
Thanks.
Seems pretty easy, just need a 2x2 clock and use the 2x1 time widget.

You'd think so, but I can't find any analog clock widgets that only have the hands (no backgrounds, no numbers/indicators).
This is quite simple to do. Using the AnalogClock widget, set android:dial to transparent png. For the PM/AM text, I think you have to override the onDraw method of AnalogClock. There doesn't seem to be a way to specify whether to draw the text.

How would I go about changing this? Is there a configuration file I can edit, or is this something I need to know how to program to change?

If you haven't done any Android programming, read up on the basics first. If you are familiar with Android development, then just do the following.
Assuming your png file is called transparent.png, you need to use android:dial="@drawable/transparent" under the AnalogClock's properties in your xml layout file.
Btw, if you do extend AnalogClock and override onDraw, you won't be able to use that class as part of your widget since Android doesn't allow custom elements to be used in widgets.
I could probably do this for you, ill have a look in a bit .
Hey guys,
Updated to 2.2 and hated the stock messaging app so i made the jump to Handcent and was wondering if there was any way to change the color of the text entry box from the tan background to a white one. I know its just a little thing but i think it would help the app look much cleaner.
Thanks for the help

Yes you can, settings>bubble settings. Just play around with it and you will figure it out.
Yeah i have been playing around with it all afternoon, and looked at every single menu item in the settings and just cant find it..
I haven't found the option for the text entry box. What I found was that when you have the iphone skin you can change the theme to black which turns the text entry box to more of a grey colour. I preferred this but I wish that you could have a custom colour
Could you just edit the color of the window in the .apk or theme the app itself? I found a thread on another forum where someone themed the app itself to make the text entry window white as well as look more like the stock messaging app
I've installed/customized a theme exactly as I want with Black status bar, and black pulldown background with white text. I properly Deodexed and used the compatible services.jar, however, the following events still show up with black text in the dropdown list:
-In-Call timer status
-Download Progress
-Any item that is an event in progress
I've tried 4 different services.jar and all of them had the same problem, I tried editing the status bar XML files, only to have the phone refuse to load.
I notice 90% of themes leave the dropdown tabs gray, and I assume this is the reason, but does anyone have the files necessary to make all text in the dropdown white?
If you want to attach your framework-res.apk I can give this a go. I'm pretty sure this is in the /res/layout/status_bar_latest_notification.xml file or something titled similiarly.
Anyways.... I can give you some help if wanted...
I've attached my framework-res.apk, let me know what you can do. Thank You!
No problem. I will give this a go after work.

In looking at your framework...is this the current framework that you thought SHOULD have the white text? Or a unmodified framework. In looking at it...it looks like the text should be white... At least from what theming I have done... You have white (ffffff) set in the correct places for the dropdown notification bar in /res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.
What ROM/theme are you using? Also are you on the 2.3.34 update? i'm still on 2.3.15... So I don't want to throw a framework on my phone that may cause issues =?
If you can give me some more info... I was digging through it tonight.
Thanks
I am using the 2.3.340 firmware, standard rom but rooted and deodexed.
I used that exact framework with 2.3.15 with the same issue. My theme is nearly perfect except for that, so it's kind of annoying.
Hm... I'll keep looking over it. So this current framework SHOULD have white text but didn't?
Try also looking at the styles.xml and colors.xml in the /res/layout folder. I.m winning if things need to match up and something in one of those files is overwriting your white color

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the services.jar hold the information to change the colors in the drop down events?

I'm pretty sure it just controls color for the clock, ticker, and the "titles" for the sections in the drop-down such as "latest" or "ongoing". It doesn't actually change the text color of notifications in the drop down.
Can u help me too
I had this issue with derezzed too, a lot of ongoing event text colors are controlled by each individual application (something I saw with dropbox and facebook uploads) so the options are to either customize each application as you get it, ignore the unreadable text, or simply change the .png to a different color that provides a similar feel while being able to read black text... or another artsy thing would be to use rounded corners to make each notification look like an individual bubble instead of a continuous pane

totally didnt see how old this post was... oops
Hello
Recently I became a fan of quote apps. So I looked through them and most of them didn't even have widgets or didn't look that beautiful.
What I am thinking of is a widget that has the style of minimalistic text widget and displays quotes. (custom quotes would be best)
So I am just trying to find a widget that shows quotes as plain white text. Does something like that already exist?

Minimalist text already exists, lol. You do know that you can put in custom text and design it any way you want, right? Go to custom, scroll over to misc., drop a static text button into the field, click on button, input text, input size of text, back out, scroll down, change font/color/etc...
you can use Tasker to parse an online source of quotes and dynamically update a minimalistic text widget at a set interval.
You could always try brilliant quotes.

I'm aware of the fact that minimalistic text widget already exists but not for quotes. I could enter static text, but then the quote would stay the same forever.
Brilliant quotes unfortunately crashes all the time on my phone...plus it doesn't support custom quotes.
I still need to have a look at tasker tough.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

^ I can't seem to find somewhere to change font size. Ifound styles, but not size.
@Hahahalalala: You can set the default font size in the text layer setup in the app's handling settings (for the text layer) and the text drawing tool setup in the app's tools settings (for the text drawing tool). Note that changing the default font size for the text layer will affect all notebooks.
To locally adjust font size, select `larger´ or `smaller´ in the keyboard menu (for the text layer) or in the popup menu that comes up when clickin on the `A´ icon in the lower left corner.

Thanks! I found it. Also, is there somewhere where you can know the font size? For example, I would need 12 for some papers. Or I should just use quick office for that.
What do you mean by text layer though?
@Hahahalalala: LectureNotes does not `think´ in physical lengths, it only knows about pixels, and hence there is no meaning of a font size of 12pt. A font size of 100% yields 29 lines per page, this corresponds to a font size of approx. 24pt on an A4 page.

Oh thanks! I appreciate it.
Last Question: When you turn into keyboard mode are you able to get rid of the dotted lines that show up around the paper to indicate it is keyboard mode? It tends to annoy me.
@Hahahalalala: You can disable the frame in the text layer setup in the app's handling settings.

Sorry, one last question. @acadoid
How do I turn shortcuts on? For example, I see in app handling settings if I use Ctrl B I will make it bold or Ctrl - I will make font smaller, but whenever I do press Ctrl + something it ends up just being the letter I press and it doesn't change the font color or size when I try to use shortcuts.
@Hahahalalala: Whether CTRL works or not depends on the keyboard you use. If the letter shows up, then the shortcut is not send to LectureNotes. Try ALT or ALT-GR as alternative. Note that shortcuts can be adjusted independently for text layer and text drawing tool, so take care that you change the right settings.
Note that there are several general threads concerning LectureNotes, so that it might be better to continue there.
