Need a good looking calendar widget that works!

I really like the 2 reminder 1*4 style of the google calendar widget but it doesn't update like it should.
Anyone game to make a similar style/function calendar widget that works?
Thanks

Me too, looking for the old style G build calendar widget.
Now using Quick Calendar, but the widget UI need to be polished a bit.

ok it is an old thread but i am hijacking it anyway
Is there a widget/app on the market that shows you at least the next 2 appointments from you calendar? like on wm or bb today views...

Quick Calendar was just updated recently, and it's widget works much better. Needs a bit more design polish, but it's functional, and displays more than one upcoming event.

Question about HTC Calendar Widget

Hey guys,
I'm using the Pure Calendar Widget right now but I'm not really a fan of the look. It just doesnt fit to the Sense UI.
The problem I'm having with the HTC Calendar Widget is this:
You can choose bewteen two looks. 1 is the whole month as a grid, the 2nd shows you your next appointment. I would love to use the 2nd, but being able to see all my appointments directly there listed without tapping on the widget and checking the overview. Is this easily doable?

Your right, there's not much out there for that with the HTC style theme...closest I could find was:
- Laik Agenda Widget
But that's not quite perfect either.

You coukd give pure Calendar more Skins.
I've Pure calender Widget installed and I'm using Dark grey with white outline.
Did you tried that?

Seeking some widgets...

After using LauncherPro and being fed up with it's poor performance, I decided to switch over to the much lighter weight Zeam Launcher. However I'm looking for certain free or paid widgets to replace what was available to me in TWLauncher as Samsung widgets or the LauncherPro widgets. Specifically, I'm looking for large friends stream, calendar and bookmarks widgets which I could use with Zeam.. Alternately, is there any way I could use the LP or even the Samsung widgets in Zeam Launcher ?

for friend streams Tweetdeck is a good one which can be found othe marker for free.
As for calendar there is another free widget on the market just search up calendar widget.

Well, I didn't really like TweetDeck. I'm looking for a widget that brings twitter and facebook updates straight to my desktop and is scrollable. I'll check out the calendar widgets...

Bump.
Guys, some help please...

Pure widgets are fine.
You can take a look at them on this website: http://koxx3.wordpress.com/pure-widgets-descriptions/
I especially like pure grid calendar and pure messenger.
Both are not free

[Q] What are your must have widgets?

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.

Colorize widget is exactly what you are looking for. The free version is just like Sense. The paid version gives you some pretty cool theme support, but that is totally up to you.
Colorize Widget
Edit - Wait, I forgot that colorize only works on launchers with scroll widget support. Will not work on stock launcher.

Pure Calendar Grid is super awesome

I really like the widgets for an app called Business Calendar. It has all the functions of the original calendar but a bigger selection of widgets.

Colourize widget looks good but yeah no scrollable support.
What a shame
Prefer not to pay for a widget
I had use business calendar
I NP have niggling complaint that the transition from widget to calendar us not as smooth. I.e. you have to go into the calendar then add new event and so on. Whereas launcherpro one you gets straight to adding new event...
I'm just nit picking

no scroll
Stock GB launcher doesn't have widget scrolling. ADW or LPP allow for that. Unless of course the app includes arrows you can tap to scroll up or down

Pure Calendar (not Grid). Supports color schemes and scrolling.
