I'm looking for a widget or an app that has one that will display the feeds in a very simple/minimalistic fashion, one the most important concern to me is the ability to have a transparent background.
An example of what i'm i'm looking for is Smooth Calender, but for RSS feeds..
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Buzz box comes with nice widget like u describe. Nice selection of feeds too.

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.
Is it possible to make widgets that look like those that are found in the hero roms, for a regular home screen? Do you think it would be posible to port the aesthetics over to widgets for the other home apps? because those by and far knock out the current widgets in the looks department.
Just an idea.
I second that. I would love to see full screen Weather widget with some animation.... and a bookmark widget... and Twitter widget... and Email widget.... I want all of them!!!!!
Would like this too...Any devs interested?
Count me in ! i also want all these widgets especially the message widget, our G1 are nt fully using 3D.
So, with widgets now in full swing, I thought I would find out from you folks, which widgets could you not live without????
Personally, I love the FML widget. I look at it several times a day. I love how its customizable to fit any theme! Im sure I would be VERY UPSET to lose this one!
I also love the Android and Me widget and the 10,000 things to know widget.
So what about you guys?
def the bbc news widget for me. (being british)
really hope to see a decent sms widget, facebook widget, and contacts widget - bit like the ones on the hero.
from hero i cant live without the messaging preview widget
that thing is the best
dont have to keep going into the app now to preview a message to know if i feel like responding or not...
it lags the phone a little but oh well...
Flipclock with weather from hero
I've never got the hype with widgets - they seem to kill my battery and tbh I can just click one icon on my homescreen for whichever app I like.
Really the only widgets I use are the retro clock/date, wifi on/off and brightness. That is in addition to the music and google in another window.

I'm with you on this one. Though it is good to see next appointment in your calendar on the home screen. So calendar is the only widget that I use.
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?
It looks like the weather part of the old GenieWidget (News and Weather) gave up the ghost this past week
I guess the API finally changed for weather.com or the Weather Channel or where ever it came from. Anyway....I was using the weather widget for my homescreen. As clunky as it was, it also seemed sort of "right" for the NST. It didn't have a lot of microscopic information that you could not read and was just about the right size.
I'm currently trying out the unofficial NOAA app from the PlayStore but I'm not liking the widget too much. I've seen WeatherBug mentioned in the forum but the current version does not allow for manual location entry and the search function, like that of the old Market app, does not work (in fact the interface looks exactly like that for Market...).
So....does anyone have a weather widget they like?

Try Gismeteo Lite!
I haven't tried its widget on my Nook since I removed desktop-like launcher. However it states Android 2.0+, so it should work.
If you don't like it, there is a handful of weather widget apps sorted on 4pda forum.

Thanks for the tip! I've been trying out Aix but the little hourly graph is pretty silly as a weather widget. I like the looks of the Gismeteo widget except for the "+" sign in front of the temperature. I'm sure that's meaningful somewhere but it's not here and looks a little silly. Still, I'll see if I get used to it. Meanwhile I'll have a look at the list.
And the winner is.......
Weather Ace!!!! Amazingly complete little app, lots of customization options (fonts, "colors", backgrounds, transparency, etc.), a variety of different size/complexity widgets, different icon sets, different weather data providers (even a place to enter a WUnderground API key!). Very nice
The current market version is for Android 2.3 and up. I found the attached older version quite by accident while searching for weather widgets for Android 2.1.
Enjoy!

100% agree. I have a Nook setup solely as a weather station, using Weather Ace widgets to give me a handful of different temperatures and forecasts. It's pretty accurate, and with the right set of icons looks really nice on the Nook greyscale screen.
