And I think that it is quite sad that they are charging for the widgets. $4 bucks for dxTop, and then another $3.23, for 3 more widgets (Wiki search, Youtube search, and post it notes)
I think the market is getting greedy. I know the Dev's need to eat...but well...it's sad. Better then adding ads to apps however I suppose...but I won't bite tyvm.
So widget Dev's - make em free

I bought the app through paypal and it listed a bunch of cool widgets. The only new widget I have is the people widget which was the last one I was interested in. So anyway has anyone else purchased pro plus and if so did you get the widgets in the apk? where are the rest of them? I thought the widgets were why it was "plus"...

People widget is the only one released so far. By buying it now, you got in at a low price and helped the dev. They'll probably raise the price once the other widgets are ready, but you'll of course get them with a free upgrade since you've purchased it already.
Seriously, why open a new thread when you can just ask in the original thread? We'd be happy to answer your questions there.

Yupe, no need open new thread for it, seriously.
Anyway did you read before you purchase?
In 1st release of LauncherPro Plus v0.7.0 only have one - People.
A new widget is added - Bookmarks on version 0.7.1.0.
Others widget will only be added in coming future.
It was clearly stated that people would be the first widget, and the others will follow.
thanks for the helpful replies. the search function on my phone still doesnt work after the xda design overhaul so i did what i could to get the info myself (I promise you I've been around here long enough to understand that there are plenty of you sitting on the edge of your chair in your mom's basement, refreshing your screen every 15 seconds, peering through your watering eyes, desperately searching, yearning even, for a reason to get your feelings hurt). Anyway I searched on google which didnt answer my question then i flipped through a few pages of the forum but didnt find anything. I admit I am nowhere near as skilled as scouring the internet as many of you and for that I apologize.
And no I didnt read everything when i bought it, i generally dont read the consumer info of anything that i purchase that costs $3, and I wasnt complaining about it just inquiring. And believe it or not, I didnt open the thread as a jab at anyone personally. Some of you guys really need girlfriends. Or boyfriends maybe, i dont care.

I think he needs a good bashing after his last post..
Okay, so thanks to some members for helping me find this homescreen replacement. However, I have searched for hours looking for some kind of mod for this thing, and I haven't found a one. Is it not possible to manually tweak settings like color, for instance? I can't believe this UI isn't as hyped as I find it to be.
So, can we get some devs on this to give us some tweaks and start a thread?
I know what you mean. I just d.l.'d it and really like the design/idea of it all. Right now it is very limited to what you can tweak. If you go to thier website and check out the forum over there, alot of people are giving thier ideas of what they would like to see done to this app. Hopefully the dev's are listening....

Yeah, but I think the requests are falling on deaf ears. Multiple people are saying over in their forums are saying they are simply doing compatibility updates now. I thought some Devs here at XDA could take matters into their own hands. But I just don't think there are enough people interested in it, you know? At the time of this post, 395 views of this thread and only one reply. Supply and demand, we need more people to speak up!
Very true. I'm gonna hang on to the free version for a while and see what happens. Time will tell.
I stick using this for a long time. a bit sad I couldn't "beautify" my home like others do. but in my opinion the standards color scheme are the best there is. and don't you think modding it (like adding a shortcut to one page of widget screen or a dash of power control which I really want as an upgrade) is the same as altering the whole program? is that against licencing problem? I'm quite a noob in this area...

I have no idea. It seem's that it would be, but then again, people are porting SENSE over to non-HTC devices as well, so who knows? I don't know if the free version is open source or not.
Hi, i just saw on a screenshot a note/to do widget that is similar to a sheet of paper and has a "coffee cup stamp" on the bottom right, i think that it is pretty characteristic, can you help me?
Thanks

I thought I'd tried all of the to do widgets out there, but this one doesn't look familiar. If no one knows, check out GO Notes widget -- It's very MIUIish and I think has a bunch of theme options. That might even be one of them.

Also, questions usually go in the Q&A section to reduce clutter in the other sections.
Herr's my favorite To-do app, its called Any DO. The UI is just great

Thanks, i started using Any Do, while still searching for that beautiful widget in the op... maybe it's not available on the market, who knows!
Nice, it will be very useful for me
I finally found it, it's called Do it tomorrow
OK guys and girls, I'm listing a few links to some threads that I've come across on XDA and some other sites that will give you resources to help you emulate the look of WP7/WP8 (not a lot has changed in the aesthetic side of the two OS's). Its been a pain in the arse trying to find everything to make my phone look like WP. This is an attempt to put all finds in one easily accessible spot.
Credits of course go to the original authors/ OP of the respected threads.
Most of you may know about some of these threads, but for those of you who are new to these launchers this should help you out. I didn't see the need at first to create a new thread, but decided to do so anyway. If you find this helpful, add to it, hit the thanks button, and pay it forward.
Typing all of this from my phone at work, so bare with me for any grammatical errors.
Launchers
I'm only listing the two that I favor and think are the best suited. This is clearly my opinion. There are several out there, but these are my favorites.
Launcher 8-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920531
Launcher 7- ( can't get the Play store link because of my play store default on my phone. Just type in launcher 7 and it'll pop up in the play store)

Hubs Tutorial
I created this some time ago on rootz wiki. Most of you know how to do this. Again this is for noobs to the launcher.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19575-launcher7-hubs/
Note: do not pay attention to the wallpaper instructions. Another thread link will show you how to do this.
Weather hub-
Came across this the other day and the OP did a beautiful job with this idea. I'm running it now and its gorgeous.

Apps-
These have been discontinued by the team and are now offered for free. You may have some compatibility issues based based on the ROM/Version of android you are running. Other apps such as calculator, notifications, music player can be found in the Play Store with free and paid versions.

For the Xbox hub simply download the Xbox smart glass app from the market.
One Note is also available.
If you want a better dialer, look for the many theme engine themes or use WP7Contact. There is an option in that app that will have it start up on the dialer alone.
Different Hub wallpaper tut-
After much searching and finally finding someone to help, this can be accomplished using Tasker. A special thanks to GermainZ for helping me with this and brandall for starting that thread.

If anyone else would like to contribute by helping others, pasting links to old and new finds please do so. I will continue to add to this and organize it better as much as my busy schedule allows.
Thank you

Hey iv started messing arround with watchstyler. So far im enjoying makiing my own watch faces, The one thing i was wondering is if there is anyway to add new styles for the digital or analog. As in adding more hands then the stock one the app comes with. We can add wallpapers but nothing else that iv been able to see. Another thing is you cant change the size of the stock digital clock choices you can place em anywhere on the screen but you can shrink them. Would have been a useful options a few times so far.
Read the forums.. For cryin out loud man....
Search!!
Edit: Sorry for reacting like this but it gets really annoying people do not search just starting threads. Making this forum cluttered like crazy....

lol there a massive thread with loads of faces
Press thx if i help you
Ok there seems to be some confusion about what im asking. Im not talking about wallpapers. Im talking about adding different needles for the analog clocks, different fonts with adjustable size for the digital clocks, more battery styles other then the stock ones that come with watchstyler. You can add wallpapers but none of the other stuff other then the custom ones that come with watchstyler. And i did do a search on this subject but only found posts about already made watch facias byt that i mean needles/times ,battery status. The reason im asking for this is because i recently tried using a wallpaper that i had to ditch because none of the custom needles or digital numbers that come preloaded in watchstyle could fit anywhere on the wallpaper without looking like they were just in the wrong spot i would have needed something a bit smaller or an options to at least adjust the size of the preloaded ones would have been nice. Again no posts on any of these subject was to be found. I'm kinda wondering how come no one has come accross this problem before. So it would be nice to be able to add more needles, more digital clock fonts, just more options to make even more facias then just the preloaded settings with infinite wallpaper possiblities.
Edit: Ok after looking at quite a few threads i did find mentions on how to add needles and whatnot. Having to use photoshop to mod existing needles opr create new ones altogether. Not exactly everyone is a graphic expert but its a start and the post was not about my problem so unless i searched for specific terms like watchstyler and photoshop i rly would not have found anything witch was the case for me. I stumbled on the info i needed. In the future instead of assuming that everyone who post didnt search realise that we dont all share a single hive mind and sometimes if you dont search a specific word combination you just dont get the results your looking for. Like in this case it didnt occure to me to search for photoshop in conjunction with watchstyler. So my searches didnt yield any results. Anyways if anyone knows of any other sources to get custom needles and whatnot plz let me know im not a graphic inclined person. Thx

I understand where you are coming from on the Search. Hard to find sometimes and I haven't been on forums in anything for years. I have started to read the first 3 to 4 pages of similar posts first before asking something that might have been answered, but even then it sometimes has. Have fun piecing new watch faces together. I downloaded some of the ones from others, but went back to stock to put my kids or father's pic as the wallpaper background, since it is the Holidays, and I get all sappy : )
