Database Develop

[REQUEST] All theme Devs - Please skin the Calender widget.

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

Round White Home Screen Icons

I saw some icons like these on a screenshot the other day and liked them so much I made my own. Thought I would upload them in case anyone wants them. Sharing is caring! lol
Edit- oops, looks like because they are white you cant see them. THEY ARE THERE UNDER THE SCREEN SHOT.

Those look like they're based on the Metro style that's gotten pretty popular lately. I've used a similar icon pack that's got a pretty wide variety of icons.

The artist is extremely receptive to feedback and is pretty steadily adding stuff where requested.

Awesome! Thanks for the link. To be honest, I didnt do a lot of looking around to find out where they were. Just made the 4 I needed and left it at that. But that guy has made a ton of them!

[Q] Looking for weather

I'm looking for the app/widget that is used for weather that has the frosted or wet screen depending on conditions. I've dug around a bit and can't find a reference to a specific app. I'd like to put that on my Galaxy S 4G if I can. Thanks!

Hey,
might not be exactly what you want, take a look at:
go-weather
http://www.appbrain.com/app/go-weather/com.mediawoz.goweather
animated-weather
http://www.appbrain.com/app/animated-weather-widget-clock/com.mobilityflow.animatedweather.free

Thanks. Not quite what I'm looking for, though they are good. I"m looking for the one that will frost the screen on cold days and has a wiper on rainy days. Plus a black clock. Appreciate it though!

thats a feature built into HTC sense, think the closest option is Beautiful Widgets with the bw animation pack, then use the weather effects live wallpaper
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bw-animation-package/com.levelup.bw.forecast
or
http://www.appbrain.com/app/beautiful-live-weather/com.levelup.beautifullive

Hmmm.. too bad. But thanks for the tip. I"ll give that a try. I do appreciate the help.

You can use the paid version of fancy widget, not exactly as sense animations but it's near...

Stock Style Beautiful Widgets Superclock Skin!

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.

Not mine but, heres one.
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.
Edit: Nevermind I Found It.

Heres a new one with the same font that is used on the lockscreen. Enjoy!

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!

Gear face Request

I know there are a few Gearfaces.com designer here so I have a request if someone is up to the challenge. I'm a huge RUSH fan and I'd love it if someone could do this.
Could someone put together this as a Watch Styler face?
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120411195423/rush/images/2/26/Clockwork_Angels.jpg
I'd like it exactly as the image with those hands and the pearl in the center. I am terrible at this stuff but I could possibly Photoshop out the hands and supply just the background.
Edit: Oh would be nice if an unobtrusive battery meter were included, like down at the bottom as a thin black bar across the bottom or something.

OK, It's not perfect but I managed to clone-tool away the hands, and using some creative cropping got the center dot almost in the middle.
Result

Here's a quick go at it.
