Clock + Date App @ News+ Weather Style out there?

Hi,
actually i have a Desire with the Cyanogen Rom @ Nexus Style so i think my question is @ the right forum.
I like the stock news + weather widget, but i can not find a clock which look similar.
What i like to have is the Lockscreen Clock + Date on the News&Weather widget background. Somebody saw something like this? I tried several clock apps and of course beautiful widgets, i did a skin for beatiful widgets with the same background but i can't ged rid of the weather there
Is it hard to do such an app? Anyone out there who want's the same and is probably capable of doing such an app?
See the attachments plz. Postet 1. the background, 2. the clock, 3. what it should look like (with the proper background of course ).
Get "Beautiful Widgets". It has what you are looking for

Questions about Launcher Apps - Help Please

Hi
Just moved from WM to Android and it's a bit of a learning curve
i am using Launcher Pro at the moment
I wanted to use a launcher that ran alongside the standard HTC Launcher so i could use it for apps only
So i have all of the widgets on the HTC Desire launcher and all of my Apps on Launcher Pro.
So i have a couple of questions if you dont mind
I have tried Helix Launcher and a couple of others and i cant seem to run them seperate to the standard launcher i can only select them from the homescreen Selector App.
But Launcher Pro runs as a separate app which is what i want
So my questions are
1.should all launchers run as standalone am i doing something wrong ?
if not which ones do ?
2. Are there any launchers that provide shortcuts to pages that i could put on the first page ? (EG so tap a shortcut to go to page 7 and call the shortcut Games)
Also on a slightly different topic is it just me or do most widgets seem to waste a lot of space ?
on my Touch HD the homescreen was full but on the Desire when adding widgets there seems to be a lot of space unused between them which is a shame as i would love my tasks on there too but cant use the space.
Same with the HTC notes widget, It's a 4x4 widget but only looks 4x3 in terms of space they could have made it bigger and so more could be fitted in - end of Rant
Thanks in advance

yes they should run stand alone, all are different apps.
you should be able to make a folder for "Games" instead of having a shortcut just have the folder. I use Launcher Pro Beta. I like it. Its smooth and has a lot of little cool features.

[Q] ADW Launcher and Youtube/Market widget

Hello,
After installing ADW Launcher, the "scroll" of youtube widget and market widget (these widgets I use, maybe there are more) is not present anymore. I mean, the widget is there but the wheel motion disappear. Anyone knows a workaround this problem?

I do not believe that ADW supports scrolling widgets. There is no "work around". I know Launcher Pro supports Scrolling Widgets you might want to give it a shot.

[Q] HTC Sense Widget Replacements

Good evening/morning! (depending on your location )
May I ask a quick question?
I want to switch back to GO Launcher, but I really can't live without HTC's:
-Calendar widget
-Music widget (with lockscreen widget)
-Profile toggle and wifi toggle widgets.
Can somebody direct me to cheap or free alternatives on the Android market that can replace these HTC widgets, so that I can switch to GO Launcher?
I'd be very grateful for any help. Thanks so much
