I'm hoping this is just an issue with Mahdi rom, and considering i went through 50 reviews of beautiful widgets on the play store from the N5 and i didn't see a single complaint about this.
Every single skin i download for beautiful widgets is displayed wrong. all of the background images are either distorted, scaled wrong so you can't see them, or flat out missing. I've confirmed it on over 50 skins.
As far as i can tell it does not seem to be an issue with the app even though i've uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times, but looking at reviews i see no complaints of this. I also have no issues on my N4 or N7. So my only last idea is that it's something wrong with my N5, my Rom, or something i can't think of yet. Looking for any help and ideas here. Going to try flashing a new rom later but i wanted to post hoping maybe someone has experienced this before and knows what to do as i'd like to stick with my current rom if i can.
*edit* here is a visual of the problem:

Have you got a screenshot?
for me the only issue I have is the top and right of each skin is "cut off" however, I have worked around this by changing to "full icon"

here ya go. first pic is the skin in the store and what it is suppose to look like and then what it actually looks like on my phone. The stock default clock works but nothing else.
http://imgur.com/a/0J2mT
uploaded to imgur to get full quality. As you can see both the clock background and full backgroud have been stretched out all the way instead of how they should actually look
I only use weather so its probably a bad comparison.
I honestly cant see what's wrong though...

Not sure how you can't, the first image, shows what the skin is suppose to look like, the second image shows it displayed. Everything is being scaled out to the edges instead of sitting there normally.
This isn't the skin i use just an example to show it. Other skins go solid white or are missing pieces, most just do this, all of the details are pushed out to the very edges. I mean, just look at it, it's obviously not the same and the first image is what it's suppose to look like.
The only difference I can see is that one has rounded edges and one square. I can't see any "over scaling" and because they'll be patch9 images, I wouldnt expect to :/
Edit > oh and the sun is higher.
Think I'll let someone else help as I cant see an issue
All you have to do is look at the background of the time images, on the home screen the 3 pages are pushed all the way out to the edge, on the sample they are layered.
hopefully this will explain it, i honestly don't know what i can say beyond this.
Another more obvious example: http://imgur.com/a/vm9bH#1

Mine is scaled well on stock as far as i can see. Might be a rom problem.

I finally did manage to find their support but considering i looked through over 2 dozen reviews specifically from N5 owners and haven't seen a single complaint i'm assuming this is on MY end and nothing to do with the app itself. i just have no possible idea what could be wrong from my end.
Same problem
I am having the same problem I bought and now everything is distorted. I am on stock rom nexus 4 I tried all kind of launcher, stock, nova, apex, next launcher but nothing helps. Also i tried difftent desktop grid mesh 4x4 4x5 5x4 an so on but still the same distorted image. Hd widgets works fine but beautiful widgets just won't
Hello,
this is fixed in our latest beta
Stil the same problem I jave installed latest beta but stil the same problem.

This is the best and most efficient live wallpaper ever. It uses absolutely no additional battery over a standard wallpaper, WORKS ON ANY AND ALL VERSIONS OF ANDROID, ROOTED AND UNROOTED ALIKE, and has a cool animation to boot. Sheer Awesomeness.
Edit: Updated version to size properly by increasing size and adding small black bars at top and bottom!
6/10/2010: NOW FROYO COMPATIBLE!
Find it here.
UPDATE 4/28: Have compiled the Ultimat3LiveWallpaper into a Metamorph theme compatible with both free and pro versions. This will only work with Launcher2 , and not currently with HelixLauncher2. Due to the overwhelming amount of time and effort these themes take, I am unsure of an ETA for a HelixLauncher2 version. May wait until December of 2012, because if the world does in fact end before then, it would be a waste of said time and effort. Find it HERE!
Like my work? Buy me a Hot Dog!
Edit: Now modified to work on Fascinate!

Download the file to your computer where you can push it via adb.
Create a folder on your SD card directory named Wallpapers
Rename the file you downloaded to Ultimat3Wallpaper.jpeg
Then adb push Ultimat3Wallpaper.jpeg /sdcard/Wallpapers/Ultimat3Wallpaper.jpeg
Shut the phone all the way down, and wait for the charge light to turn green
Reboot into recovery
wipe your battery stats
reboot again
Goto menu, then Wallpaper
Select gallery
Select Wallpapers folder
select Ultimat3Wallpaper, and viola!

perhaps you are staring at it from the wrong angle? Looking dead on is optimal, and keep any very obfuscatory widgets off your screen. If you make those adjustments and still have issues, try wiping the rotate settings, probably an accelerometer issue.

Incorrect. The battery drain from the wallpaper is no less than from any other where 50% of the wallpaper surface is white. Perhaps you are used to running predominately dark wallpapers? Another possibility is the tendency to stumble and turn slightly when staring at it. If you are standing directly between two towers at the time, the strain of bouncing from one to the other while you wobble will take a definite toll. Also reference the accelerometer issue a few posts up. In the future do some research before you post a complaint, and include a log. Can't fix an issue without a log dammit.
Also, no further complaints will be considered, unless you also blame Cyanogen regardless of whether or not you run his Rom.

So the last few days I have been playing with a 3D program. I'm not the best that is for sure but I have ideas that I can sometimes get into the computer properly. I'm more of a true pencil and paper kind of guy. I really need to get a tablet so I can start doing something better in Photoshop. Just can't use a mouse to save my life to draw......Anyway I'll stop my rambling. I was wondering if anybody wanted the use of some 3D Android models. They can be plugged into photoshop for full 360° viewing. You should also be able to move his arms/legs/head if you want to go that far.
I posted some pictures of tabs that I have made with an earlier model in the "Post Your Today screen" thread. But I have since made a new model that is a bit cleaner.

I'm not really into skinning right now. I'm waiting for MaxSense to really get into doing a theme. That is why I started making these but if somebody else wants to possible use them for something I'm game and can send the files to you. Just PM if you would like to use them.
Haha, pretty interesting take on the Android.
Yeah these are really nice, great job! You should look into releasing a slider set, Im sure you would get a lot of takers
The one thing I need to look into now that I have a good model I like, is the animating. I'm thinking something like..............
An unlock screen with the droid pushing the slider when you swipe it. Have his legs fully animated. maybe have him switch from pushing with his hand to his should or back. This way if you only swipe half way it looks like it's pushing him back when it returns to center or what ever?
I really don't know how involved that one would be but it would be cool.
like i said in the leo screen thread very nice and please release a slider set
and pleeeeease share your awesome clockbackground ....
i really want this!!!
...
Ya if I release a slider it will not be anytime soon. I just really don't want to make that many different models then have to put them into manila pages. I have started but as usual I'm never satisfied enough and will change it after a day or so. Since making the new model I will have to fully redo the ones I have done. Granted I have most other the object models so it will be easier then the first time bit I will still have to redo some of those now that I have more of a grasp on the 3D program.
The clock bezel might happen but that is one of the reasons I wanted the 3D program. I wanted to redo do it in a true 3D appearance so it's either the tabs come first or I drop them and start the bezel, lol.
he nice work looking real cool ( I really like the ereader tab ) keep on going .
that is awesome!!!! lol... please make this available!!! also, if its not too much to ask, can you post your wallpaper up for us to grab? thanks!!!! by the way, i think your 3d rendering looks great!!!
I told you boss...
There would be people to appreciate your work if you posted over here.

What program are you using?! I would like to make my own Android sliders
It's a program from Nvidia called 3dvia it's free to use but it is an online program that is html based. It's pretty easy but yet annoying at the same time. Some things have to be thought out because of how you produce some shapes.
Here is another picture of the model from different view angles and different colors.
Finally made some hands that I could stand for then a few seconds.
I guess I could have resized it a bit.lol

@Eric_Murtaugh so are the tile pics for another screen? are you sticking to the zune homescreen and using those for something else?
@crackedvenom hoping someone would ask, ive implimented a way for the user to do text based or tile based pages, best of both worlds. and those customizations can be applied to any page, say like the main page is text but the folder view is tiles
View post below for screenshots!
Zune home is available in the market now. Its the old version that will soon be replaced by Faded Home. Those who already bought Zune Home will get this upgrade for free.
***I am not the developer. Just a huge fan of the launcher because i love the UI.

Go to the Zune's home screen, and look at the 'marketplace' link, the text clips to the right and does not completely display the whole word. This is part of the Metro UI design guidelines, part of how the Metro UI works.
It appears as if this launcher replacement doesn't yet do that, instead opting to show the full word itself.
ohh okay, got ya now. well we shall see where he takes this
Cool. Im gonna check that out tonight. Appreciate it.

I really like my Zune HD...so no your not the only one that has one lol.
Keep up the good work on this launcher. I am really excited about it. Not sure if I am at the point where I can purchase it, I prefer to try an app out before buying it even if it is only .99
I have a friend that is a HUGE Microsoft fan and loooooooooooooooooooooooooves his Zune HD....I bet he would go insane if I showed him the Zune HD running on an android device lol
Do you plan on continued support for this launcher and if so what further enhancements are planned?
It looks like a good UI but I'm not able to download it from the Market so could somebody upload the apk somewhere?
Thank you!

"Settings menu is half way done as im revamping it. Im also making it have the user choose the apps for the buttons upon first install so they dont get confused thinking no buttons work"
guy just recently moved so he was busy and couldnt get working on it until now. hes hoping to get the update in by morning, so check back
I really really like this and hope the developer continues their work . Works very nice with the album art live wallpaper on my DX. I would love to see a lock screen similar to the zune hd.
I love a nice,clean, sleek look, and this is well on its way. Would like to see the actual list of apps when you click "apps" to be in a larger font. One that matches the home screen preferably. Fantastic work thus far and cant wait to see where it ends up. Will continue to pay this dev for their work.

Does anybody else have an issue where some apps that are sideloaded or Market installed show up at a very low resolution in the carousel? Any way to fix this?

I love the Amazon launcher though, so simple and clean. If anyone knows of a way to change icon resolutions (?) I'd love to know. I tried but it resulted in icons that looked nice but only displayed half of the icon
you can't fix it. The apps themselves would have to have been released with hi res icons in the apk. Most of these apps were made for lower phone resolutions. The carousel shows very large sized icons, so if the app doesn't have them, it's going to use the smaller ones and scale them up.

Right, but we could edit our apps and add a higher res icon right? Would be tedious but I'd almost rather do that for now for some of the apps I know I'll have for a while (barring updates that would reset the icons).
It's simple...
Apps from the amazon market require a higher res icon. Notice this issue is only with side loaded apps that didn't come from amazon.

Lol, no worries. I was merely re-stating to the OP that he already knows why the icons look blurry. It sounded like he was asking why, yet he already knew why.
*edit* re-read the OP and he did ask how to fix it. The only answer is to repackage the app with a fixed icon. We may just have to wait for devs to submit their apps to the AMZ market.

Yes, you can. You might first do a little android App development reading to understand the multiple size Icon rules.
I'd be interested too, can you point me somewhere to get the info to change the icons resolution, please ?
I've downloaded that program, unpacked an .apk, but now?

Modding an apk is a bit more than can be covered with a simple post. Probably digging through the forums would be a good bet.
I thought I read somewhere that Amazon apps download a special-sized icon for the carousel, but I'm not sure (could be an internet rumor, like Eddie Murphy dying). Some of the apps I have sideloaded have hi res icons, but they still look like garbage on the carousel. Maybe when I get a moment or two I can pull an apk and see if there is something special going on with the icons. I haven't done this yet cause they are not too annoying to me.
---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
According to this site, https://developer.amazon.com/help/faq.html the Amazon apps have hi-res icons supplied through their servers; side-loaded apps cannot do this.

APK Icon Editor
Check out this simple free APK editor to change Android icons: APK Icon Editor.
It also supports Amazon Kindle Fire devices.

I love the Amazon launcher though, so simple and clean. If anyone knows of a way to change icon resolutions (?) I'd love to know. I tried but it resulted in icons that looked nice but only displayed half of the icon

Argh! Sure it looks different...but at the same time, it looks really ugly for my taste. Not for me as it has something similar to the "Windows phone" design which I hate.
it looks very messy..
or maybe it's just the way the boy is sitting there staring that's starting to creep me out (sorry)
is very ugly
Just got it last night and love it. Looks very good imo

I like sslauncher, here my screenshots:
It isn't ugly but it just looks different how u said
You have to install it and try it for e.g. 1 week then you can decide
it's not ugly, the look is your own choice
I've been using this for a while now. My screens are not pretty at all, they are functional. If you want pretty, that it's also possible. It's your own choice.
I believe this one breaks the mould, and lets us be creative. No longer do we have to settle for a rather limited set of options. Isn't that why we went all Android in the first place?
Btw, there are now themes in the market. I'd live to know if they are good, and if they mess with your existing setup. You can save the whole lot, which is really cool, so I may risk a try.
Oh wow I just spit up all over myself

Got oriental theme and i like it a lot

I just tried them, and they are OK. If you have any custom icons, make sure you DO NOT select 'drop existing images' when selecting a theme.
I have no idea how to get back to normal, but I can live with what I have.
What I want is a different wallpaper for each page. I know we can have them for each page type, but almost all mine a Cover, so that is no good to me.
Its fugly...

Awesome find.. loved it.. thanks Ketan
It really is some thing different i really like it, yea theres a few things missing just now but it gets updated regularly, could really do with some notifications and the option to change links to the vertical. heres my set up just now.

multi picture live wallpaper on the market should be able to achieve what you're looking for
