You can download Xwidget from the Play Store. There is a similar widget in their online collection.

Pixel Launcher is too limited in it's customization. I like being able to rearrange things in my app drawer. Also swipe down for notifications is too convenient.

It's slightly off center and all around terrible. I wan't to be able to click it and go to either the google weather or the calendar.
Are there any other ways?

How much more different is that one compared to Weather Widget:donate or Beautiful Widgets?
They all look the same to me with minor difference.
.
its a new one called Weather widgets (yr.no) FREE from the market
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.ermesjo.yr/
Much more advanced in weather information than weather widget of beautiful widgets .No skins though.
one annoying thing is that weather widget does not display date/day! they put (today) which isnt of much use

[Q] Can you change the link on a Widget?

Hi,
I am currently using the digital clock widget and when I click on it, it will open the digital clock setting. I wonder if there is a way to change the link such that when I click on the widget, it will go to the alarm application instead.
Thanks!

If it doesn't have it in any type of settings menu, then no. Try looking for a different clock/widget/alarm in the market.
Oh, looks like I have to find another clock widget then. Thanks!

If you get beautiful widgets from the market, yes you can change the action of tapping the clock, date, and the weather.

It gives you the option of using whatever program you want when you tap each part. Fancy widgets may do that as well and it's free.

Weather/Time Widget Suggestions?

I'm using Nova Launcher so can't use the stock weather widget. Does anyone have any suggestions for other weather or time widgets? Thanks.

All above mentioned are good. There is an Xwidget that mirrors the native Samsung weather widget, just search for S8 weather widget in the Xwidget app and you'll find it.
Get KWGT and make your own. It's supper customization. The drawback is that some people might have trouble understanding how to do things with it.

I'm using Nova with Today Weather APK widget. Simple to use, clean looking app and widget(s).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockdown.weather
I'm using the Vizorg Widget (as known of Android O) with hidden Text, so it's just the google logo!
You can also add weather information and the date.:fingers-crossed:

Can I get the default pixel date/weather widget in Nova launcher?

I really like the Date and weather widget that comes stock in the Google Launcher on the phone. However, I've switched to using Nova Launcher because I like a couple of its features better. Is there any way I can get that widget on my homescreen?
Thanks!
Try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.difer.weather
Sent from my Pixel 2 using my fingers on the keyboard.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tommasoberlose.anotherwidget
Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wangdaye.com.geometricweather and select the oreo widget in that
Guys, try this one, its called chronus (Google Play store). Its free, I just bought weather icons for 1 $. I dont know why, but I cant attach screenshot... But its looks so much better then other apps.

Yes, it is built into the Nova settings. No need to download additional widgets. Just look for the Google search bar options and select the pixel style and enable weather display.
i would love to find the built in digital clock/date widget, i cannot find it in nova launcher, could you tell me how? i don't need the weather as a widget, just the time

It's all LG. The icons are part of the LG Home+ theme and the launch is the stock LG G7 ThinQ launcher. I grabbed a couple of screen shots of the theme from the LG Smart World app which has the name of the theme. It is called E&M Firefly Lamp. The Rainbow Garden theme also has similar icons.
Oh nice.. I didn't leave the stock launcher long enough to mess with it..

Now the wallpaper is one I have had for a while. I did download the eagle faith the flag from LG Smart World because I liked it because it's patriotic and I'm a veteran. They don't have as many themes and wallpapers on there for this phone as they do for the V30 but hopefully that changes.

Gesture - double tap to hide the dock apps
My Nova Launcher setup.
Here's mine...
Action Launcher
Everything else is self made in KLWP yes those aren't widgets, that's a live wallpaper, except for the apps.
Circular battery bar, clock that opens the clock app on tap, current 'feels like' temp, and a custom agenda widget that I designed to mimic Simple Calendar Widget after that stopped being reliable.
My actual widgets are in the quick page swiped in from the right and my apps are a vertical list swiped in from the left.
How are you guys getting the on screen buttons in your shots? *Found it*
