Is there anyway to modify the size of the photo widget, or is there an app that does this already in the market? I would really like a 4x2 or a 4x4 sized version.

if it is like the analog clock widget, then maybe the size of the image could be increased to occupy a bigger space. if you know how to sign update.zip's then you could try that
i would also be really interested in this, have tried many apps on the market but all take up the same space as the stock app

i know ahome had a costumized size on the photo frames
The DxTop home app gives you a choice of different size photo and clock widgets...
I am trying to avoid using a home replacement. does anyone know who figured out how to edit the clocks? i might shoot them a pm.

Does anyone know of a larger photo frame widget available? The stock photo frame is ok for most things but sometimes I want a larger one since I don't have all that many shortcuts on my home screen. I haven't found any yet and searching for photo or widget throws up too many results to sort through without a lot of effort. If there isn't one perhaps someone can tell me how to change the default widget to cover more than the 2x2 space it does currently.
I've also been searching/waiting for such a widget.
I've seen it in Rodriguez stiles screens
I have asked numerous times and have yet got a response
use ADW as your launcher, it will resize any widget.
*i'm at work and can't test whether or not it will fill the space you expand with the picture. it's worth a try, and if you weren't using ADW, you should be. =P
there was one called photoframe deluxe. however it seems the dev has stopped work on it and has removed it from the market. it was a paid for app but wasnt too bad. be good if someone could do something similar. the benefit of it was that it didnt ask you to resize the photos. it kept them original size and shrank them to fit if need be.
What about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784791&highlight=frameme
The widget is only 2x2 but you get full screen when you click it.
Also like jamesd86 said if you are using adw as your launcher you can resize it to anything you want.
I had the idea to have an option to re-size the size of an icon. Sort of like a pinch to zoom, but scaled. 1x1,2x2,4x4.
Would this be easy to write, or would it require widget type of coding?

Would need to be a custom widget per "icon", or a massive UI rewrite. I wouldn't hold your breath.
maybe a quick widget creator could be made? Like when you're choosing an icon from your app drawer, you get prompted to choose a size. I think this would look pretty good, anyone agree?
You can download the More Icons Widget from the market which lets you put 4 shortcuts in the space of 1.
Not as convenient, but it works.
This is more of an astheics thing and not a convienence things. I think it would looks really cool, and somewhat windows mobile 7 like to have a 2x2 message icon, or market icon, etc.
For some widgets, Astrid for example, I can't seem to stretch the widget. For example, when I long press and get the option as to how many pixels I want I enter 4x2. When the Astrid box is placed on my screen it's still the same size (2x2) as it would be if I hadn't entered 4x2. The only difference is I can long click around the widget to move it as if it was occupying that space. Is there anyway I can actually make it (and other widgets) to actually occupy the 4x2 space?
Also, I can't seem to move widgets into corner spaces on my screen or exactly where I would like them to be on the screen.
I'm running CM6 stable, Froyo, ADW Launcher, on a rooted N1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ADW resizes the spaces used by widgets (as does LauncherPro) but it can not force the widget to resize the graphics within that space. If the widget is designed with resizable elements it will "grow" or "shrink" accordingly. If it has not been designed for this then you will get the experience you have. There's nothing you can do about this.
The (standard) screen has a 4x4 grid, widget and icon placement must conform to this, you can not place widgets or shortcuts in the "gaps".

Thanks for the information.

Looks like SiMi Clock.
1st link looks like a combination of different widgets.
Don't know about the horizontal line, but for the vertical line (link 3) long hold and stretch widget. Need Launcher Pro Plus or other 3rd party home screen that allows resizing widgets.

I think some of those lines, dates, weater are made with minimalistic text, and the clock with simi clock
That IS SiMi clock. I have the exact same thing, BUT you need to have something that will allow you to resize widgets. I use LauncherPro +
Ah, after taking a second look I see. It is gTab SiMi Clock. My mistake. I thought the lines where from something completely different but now I see it is streched.

With some trial and error you could make a white line on your background image to produce the same effect without using up all your screen space with a giant widget.
Its a combination of streched Simi clock using launcher pro, and possibly a background to match.
How do you make the date read "thuDECsecond"? I see the 'user defined' option but i can only get it to read "ThuDec2". Any help would be great.
I figured it out. You have to click and drag the widget and drop it back down. Once you do that it becomes highlighted in transparent orange and you can drag it to stretch it down your screen.
EDIT: Have to use launcher pro. Im new to all this stuff but its a pretty swift learning process.
Like me, everyone probably saves their prettiest and most useful widgets for their homescreen. Since I'm so finicky, I like to see everyone else's homescreens to get ideas for new homescreen widgets/setup.
This is what mine looks like. What does yours look like?
If you're wondering what the widgets are...
Beautiful widgets weather widget
Moine-Garde S-01 timepiece widget
Pulse reader widgets

It's just the Pulse News Reader widget, it's not a custom widget.
Your widgets look great! I only have the agenda widget from launcherpro. I might set up pulse that way too, depends if I ever get around to adding feeds.
