That is the HTC-Sense weather widget.. but could also be a modded version since it doesn't seem to be running on HTC-Sense (different launcher app).
Check out Beautiful Widgets in the Market, they used to have a similar widget.
Or check with the maker of the screenshot ;-)
so, is there a way to get the htc additions?

Weather and toggle widget donate has the same widget when you skin it

If you are not running a rom with Sense UI then the answer is no because it the apps and widgets require a certain framework that is only available on Sense UI devices.

I've searched and searched and haven't come up with a definite answer.
Can the HTC Widgets be used on Cyanogen, or any non-Hero ROM?
No.
Definite enough?
No, short answer, the hero widgets were built for rosie/sense whatever you want to call it, basically it's another home replacement app. Widgets are not compatible with standard launcher.
Like above the answer is no. Although there are a few widgets on the market that look like the htc wigdets.
Beautiful Widgets-Digital Clock Widget
Contact Bar- People bar
Pure Grid Calender- Calender Widget
Pure Messenger Widget- Email/Message Widget
Damn, all I really wanted was the peep twitter widget, but I'll live I guess haha
Use Twidgit Lite!
I've always wondered since a Home Replacement is basically a stand alone app, and widgets on the standard sdk can't be animated like the hero's in most cases.
Couldn't we just make a HR that runs applications as widgets type of thing.
Like if anyones run a pulse rom and used taskiller you'll see it's cards widgets or whatever it's called running and working with sense UI styles.
I don't see why we can't just run touchflo on cyanogen... most Hero ROMs are based on 1.5 right now, so... hmmm

Thanks! Found it! However, with the limitations it imposes (not able to scroll and have more than 4 contacts) I think I will pass on this one, for now. Dev states they are working on a solution for that, once found, it would be worth the purchase for me.
I have purchased many apps, especially the Pure apps (Calendar widget, Grid calendar widget and Messenger widget) that help make the phone look/perform nicely.
Keep up the great work Dev's!

Also known as touchflo. Download a taskmanger and see what the process is called...

Photo Album & Bookmarks widgets?
Might there be alternatives to these HTC widgets that I'd be able to use on my 1.6 based g1?

i would remove the link for the clocks, it considered warez.
Hey, I am on a stock N1, I am looking for a pretty identical widget for weather/clock, you know what you see on say, the Desire. What app and what skin can you recommend? I do not mind paying.
BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS
Fancy widget is also nice and it's free.

I've tried:
Beautiful Widgets
Weather Widget & Toggle
Fancy Widget
Top => Bottom = least realistic to most realistic.
However, top=>bottom = most features to least features.
Fancy Widget comes the closest. I somehow feel it's slightly slower than the other two though. Not sure.
using fancy widgets for a while now and i have 0 problems.
I like it the most cause i want just a clock + weather that looks exactly like the HTC one, and i do not want xxxx features that i don't use anyway.
just a clock + weather + you can choose what happens when you hit the clock. thats it.
Fancy Widget for the win!

Beautiful Widgets does that, along with opening the calendar when tapping the date and your weather app of choice when tapping the forecast. Also has an HTC skin thats pretty much spot-on, with dozens more to choose from. Same with Weather & Flip clock. I don't see fancy widget being available for long, HTC will shut them down for copying their look.
Is it just me or has fancy widgets disappeared from the market?

That's the result of a Cease & Desist request from good ole HTC. You won't see it in the Market anymore. They will continue on under a different name and style. Paul has the latest in his r20 build.

I have the final version of Fancy Widget, but not sure if it's okay to post. PM me if anyone wants it.
I was wondering if there were any widgets out there that were very similar to the HTC Sense version.
Also, do they support google voice? Because I use google voice as my main source of SMS.
Beautiful Widgets look close to HTC Sense. And they are skinable; I have seen a couple skins that are pretty much HTC Sense knockoffs lol.
Are there anymore?
'Weather Widgets' Weather and Flip Clock look a lot like the Sense clock. And then beautiful widgets fullscreen weather widget look the most like sense.

none support GV because GV, currently, does not allow the APIs to read from the service
What about the SMS Widget that flips like a Roladex, can that be ported to the Captivate?
I love the SenseUI clock widget....is there something just like it?? Preferrably one that shows the date too
Have a look at "Beautiful Widgets". They have a theme-able clock which looks similar.

Fancy Widget
Fancy widget
Weather widget donate version looks good and had a whole bunch of skins...
My phone's been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...
I've got both fancy widget and Beautiful widgets. Both can be set to look like sense however I prefer beautiful widgets because it has more skins and programmable options such as you can choose what apps to open when tapping the weather, clock and date. I have mine set to open my weather bug pro, alarm and calendar similar to the sense UI
Is there any way, any where to get the Fancy Widget anymore? I'm guessing its been taken down...

IMHO Fancy widget is as close as you can be to Sense. BW or WW are off as far as I like. BW is too close to edges and WW is a bit too low within widget.

After some searching, it didn't seem there was a thread simply discussing great homescreen widgets. I'll be getting my first Android tablet tomorrow, so I'd love to hear what widgets you've found the most useful on the G Tablet. What can't you live without?
Launcher Pro widgets are awesome, very similar to HTC Sense widgets.

Did you buy the full version? Hows the calendar widget. I have yet to find a better calendar widget that works for me like the HTC Sense calendar widget.
Can you post a pic of the largest caledar widget Launcher Pro has?
Thanks,
Scott

You do have to buy launcher pro to get widget access but its cheep and worth it. Launcher pro has 3 or 4 sizes to chose from. If you plan on rooting the Vegan 5.1 rom has a calander widget that is full screen and works amazing.

If you setup LP 8 columns x 5 rows the Widgets fill about half the screen. The calendar widget is very nice, it's not an exact clone of the sense version but pretty close. Gotta pay to unlock the use of the widgets.

Jorte is a great calendar program, with a superb tablet widget. Sync to Google calendar and the widget can display a full month, with daily detail(!), not just icons. I love it.
I just grabbed the full version of Launcher Pro Plus. Very worth it! The transitions (cube, rotate, flip and shrink) are very cool.

vegan has a calendar widget? I don't see it in the widget list...
News
I can't seem to find a good news widget that is in column format and updates about 8 news items on my screen at once. News and Weather and GoodNews aren't working for me. Does anyone use one that they like?
And to avoid hijacking the thread, the main widgets I use are:
~LauncherPro Calendar
~TweetDeck (though the default Twitter and Facebook widgets are not bad)
~Sense Analog Clock Dark
~ScoreMobile
~Bookmarks
I use the launcher pro Widgets and typoclock permanently on the screen. If I'm listening to music I put the mixzing widget on the screen.
I'm going to check out jorte now though.
I tried Jorte (which I use and love on my phone) on the g-Tab, but the text was all fuzzy... I suppose I need to play around with the settings a bit. Anyone have settings that work well..?

Pulse is great. It's not a Widget but does a good job at what you are looking for.

Give Pulse a try. You can Add/remove different news sources and have many of them at once on your screen.
