I use themes all the time and my phone has never looked as sexy as it does now thanks to all theme devs.
I have one quirk, all themes look so sexy with one odd ugly looking calender widget on my home screen.
Please..Please.. skin the Calender widget when you release the next version of you skin. All Devs pay attention to search & Music widget but leave the Calender widget.

i was looking through the .apk, and it looks like it would be mostly xml edits to skin the calendar widget.... not 100% sure tho
I agree... The calendar widget looks very awkward on most of these themes.
posted this exact request in Q&A a couple days back, no responses...
I know beagz said he was going to look into this, that's the last I'd heard. I hope someone can make this happen, default widget just doesn't blend with these beautiful themes.
Yes still planning. Had some other requests taking priority

Something dark would be really nice... is it possible to make the text white?

ears burn much? look forward to seeing what you do. I'd love to see something that blends with the hero flip clock or retro widgets but I'm sure whatever you do will look great. Really think someone needs to take the initiative and develop a new calendar widget from scratch, so many possibilities though... now that I think of it, I'd even like a full screen widget, maybe... ahhh who knows.
I like the flip clock idea since so many use it.
Stay tuned. When I do that there will be more than one.
I wish someone would just do a simple skinning of it like how the pictureframe in KSpec Oreo looks... just the border needs a good look the rest can stay the same.

Text color is not a part of the ROM. You can change the color of your text by logging into your google calendar online and on the left should be your calendar name, change that color to what you would like your text color to be and then resync your phone. Text changed!
Please, PLEASE can someone release a set of skins for this!

Check out the "pure Calender" widget. it costs $0.99, but it is SO worth it. There are different sizes to fit with just about any widget setup, and a bunch of different skins so it can blend with almost any theme you want! Also, it shows as many events as will fit on the screen, not just one like the default calendar widget

Props to DAVID LANHAM! He apparently designed these icons that I lifted from other various themes from iPhones to Desktops. Here is the new and final comprehensive version of Stickerface.
First person to say Winterface sucks, still ugly, etc. loses three internets. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
File in zip title "wicons_x2" is placed in Program Files/Weather/skins/bin
In addition, place the file "weather_icons" in BOTH the Weather AND Winterface skins/bin folders.
Zip file with everything is in Post #6.

haha lol personally i think it looks awsome, havnt got around to trying though

And personally, I'd be inclined to agree with you since the default icons also match nicely if you're using SMS-Chat, FunContact, Weather, Eye Photo and ZoomBoard. VITO does a really nice job of making all of their products uniform.
That said, it's a rather lazy choice of colors. I would love it if they would release new versions of Winterface, Weather and EyePhoto to go with the alternate skins of SMS-Chat, FunContact and ZoomBoard, which is much more cheerful.
Icons for the free VITO Weather application now posted in #1.
Tahnk you, that's fab!!!
However, can you plz post "wicons_x2" again?
I just cannot find the file.
Sorry about that. Here it is.
downloading now gonna see if it works on my touch pro. i just posted a review on this gonna have to update it with the new skin
This is awesome! How can we make our own icons?
This is great! The original Winterface icons are difficult to see in direct sunlight on my HTC Titan. These more vivid icons address that problem. Question: how did you do this? How can we make our own icons for Winterface - which programs are needed?
Thanks again.
Photoshop usually

I used Gimp which is pretty much the same thing. And once you get used to it, it's not even all that time consuming. I've taken a few cracks at creating other themes (Neon is coming soon) and finding the icons to use takes more time than it does to tweak them for Winterface. Just a matter of resizing, copy and paste. The key is saving it correctly (16-bit, R5G6B5) or you can mess other things up (the Realize theme causes the Task Manager to close the program.)
Who- From: Me To: You.
What- Tron themed Facebook and Twitter widgets.
Why- I want to share something with anyone interested in my work.
Everything Else- I'll keep the apps up-to-date with Facebook and Twitter. The apps themselves are not themed, only the widgets. The icons/Google search widget are from my Tron ADWTheme. (Find it in the Market) I'm not done, what others would you like to see?
Things to remember- The update.zip (it includes both) should work, but Clockwork isn't being very friendly with me. So, I haven't successfully flashed it. One last thing, right now these are only good for phones that support an HDPI resolution. I'll add MDPI support soon.
Enjoy!
If you appreciate my help, I'd appreciate yours.

dude awesome! I saw your pics of these on "Post your Homescreens" glad you're sharing!

Any chance the icons be released? I'm not an adw user.
As for other widgets, maybe juice defender and juice plotter?

I'll see what I can do with those widgets. As for the icons, I'm keeping them with ADW for now.
cool. thank you
very cool! i installed ADW just for this :-D
the dollar was worth it.
Hey this is very cool. I must ask though why is the update.zip is needed?
I'd personally like to request an Auto Express Tron Widget, maybe turn the red to black and the black to cyan...assuming you don't change the text color, but if you can manage that, it'd be nice too. I tried messing with this one, but it was over my head. I was going to try what I just said, but couldn't find the images for those parts in the "drawable" folder.
On another note, I did manage to make a Tron Themed Picture Dial Widget. It's not the Pro Version sadly, just the free one, and I modded the second theme in the theme menu to the Tron look (and I only edited the small widget). It'd be awesome if I had the paid version, but oh well. (Pics and DL attached)
(And in the case someone is wondering about my icons or anything, I'm using Go Launcher EX and I just searcher the net for icons for hours and hours)
EDIT: Seems as though it was a glitch in the facebook system, not the modded app, or not the fact that I hadn't updated my facebook widget.
Update????
Hey OP, any chance of getting a Tron Themed Facebook 1.5.4 Widget?
The later facebook versions have chat included, and version 1.3 which we have does not.
I'd love to see an update/hear back from you.
I tried modding it myself, but I failed..... Some of the folders werent the same and all I ended up with was crappy white facebook
EDIT: Now all I get is problem loading Widget
Well i got this theme too - got to say its very clean and great to look at.
I only have one small issue.
The Google search widget does not work - there is no option in the widgets to set the Google search bar to that theme. Just the normal stock theme.
Does anyone have the apk for it ?
thx
Was making some text icons for my launcher pro dock so i thought i'd throw them up in case anyone wants anything similar i can make um real quick for ya. Just let me know the phrase you are looking for. I'll post up some more generic one's later when the football games die down.
A screen of the font type and icon style is attached.

I did a little searching on the forums but havnt come accross a post that has the correct size for a wallpaper size that wont look all pixelated and terrible when applied. ive tried 1200x1024 and even 1900x1024 it all looks pretty bad. Any information would be awesome! Thanks
No offense but didn't look to hard. The VERY first page of Themes and Apps section has the thread your looking for, with all the details you want. In a nutshell there is no REAL resolution, but that thread has the solution and it works very well.

No worries, if you could see my face that was typed with a smile. We're all here (well most of us anyway) to make this awesome device more usable for everybody, i don;t mind helping at all. Didn't mean to come off rude if i did

Give Multi Picture Live Wallpaper a try, free in the market. Has worked 100% for me.
Rodney
Install QuickPic (free) and set wallpaper with it. It'll keep the image nice and sharp.
example: http://k.min.us/ib6DuE.png
It's also a great image viewer, faster than the gallery and easy to exclude certain folders.
Agree with previous post. Greaet app.
Quickpic does a good job for Portrait wallpapers but fails badly at Landscape. Ive tried everything possible on the nook for a locked landscape setup and the best result ive had was gathering a ton of pictures, slapping them into a folder, then selecting that folder inside a app called Wall Switch from the market, and just keep switching till a razor sharp one shows up.
I know its not a proper method, but after a while, at least one of them shows up super sharp and high-res and looks amazing. Wish i could be more precise, but thats all i got.
I love what you did

Eozoon, I wish you had posted how you arranged such a nice looking layout. Does anyone know what he used? I would love to know.
*EDIT* I found out where the battery and disk widgets come from, if I find out anymore I'll update my post.
Calendar widget
CPU widget
Folder icons
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget
Launcher/theme
I forgot what the clock is might just be beautiful widgets. Sorry I used to know but this ins't much help.
The cpu widget is SetCPU.
Not sure about the others.

Calendar widget - I assume you mean the clock? That's Simi Clock, I also use Simple Calendar Widget for the actual calendar in an other homescreen.
CPU widget - SetCPU
Folder icons - Simi Folder
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget - Widgetsoid
Launcher/theme - ADW, default theme, I think. Wallpaper from Wallbase.
Thanks for the info. Now I can get mine looking spiffy.

Search on the market for an app called "Image 2 Wallpaper". It's given really clear images and allows for different scaling options.
Stock Style Beautiful Widgets Super Clock Skin I made, should be able to get it through the app soon.
Unzip and place in sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/scskins
Enjoy.
Nice work, keeping with the theme I like it.

How about a clone of htc clock? Would greatly appreciate it.

Beautiful Widgets: HTC Sense UI Skin
Woah nice job! I would totally use this, although lately I've been running without the superclock, due to the fact that there's already a clock on the lock screen and the top right corner. But wow, you don't see alot of skins of this quality within the BW app! Nice!
One thing I've been looking for is a superclock skin with the same font as the D3 lock screen. My fave font! Modern and simple.

Do you know the name of the font used? or where i could look in the system dump to find it? I can make one using that font.

Not bad, are the skins hard to make? I've been thinking about making my own BW Skins and Themes. Just don't know if I have the patience to bust out Photoshop working so much.

It pretty much depends on what you are doing, this took me about 3 hours because of the level of detail involved, I took the system dump, extracted the apk files until i found the .9.png that was used for the widget backgrounds, and i copied every single line and gradient down the pixel, so that takes a while. But many of my others where fairly simple. It also depends on your level of skill with Photoshop and you knowledge of the tools, I've been using Photoshop for many years, so I'm very familiar with it.
Plus loading it on the phone every time you make a small change can be a little annoying at times...

I'll give it a try eventually, lol.. I've got 6 years experience as a freelance designer and developer. I've just gotten to the point where if it isn't making me money I don't like to open up the programs.
This is now available to download from the application! I have also created a gingerblur toggle skin to match, which is also available! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the skin. It looks great!
1 question though. My weather skin is still in stock and doesn't look like the one you are posting.
Would you mind posting your weather skin as well?
Thanks!
