I love launcher pro (i just bought the paid version), but i miss the sense clock and music widgets.
I know about beautiful widgets, but how comparable is it to the sense weather/clock widget?
Also, what's a replacement music widget that allows FF/play/RW/ and shows album art?
Any help appreciated!
I missed the sense clock too but beautiful widgets has a lot of clock and weather skins. I got one that matched more with my theme.
I use doubletwist for my music player. They only have a small widget but they are going to release a bigger widget. MusicGo has a similar music widget as htc but that is foreign.
I use Weather & Toggle Widget for my Sense clock replacement. I used to use Pure Music Widget for the music widget. I don't know if Beautiful Widgets has animated weather like the Sense clock/weather widget but Weather & Toggle Widget does. If you flash a CM ROM they have a few music widgets to choose from with album art and play controls too. That's what I use now.

Is there a way to get a touchwiz music player 4x4 widget to use? I would like to use that to use with my SGII lockscreen.
There's an app in the market called "Pure Music Widget" and you can pick from many skins. It comes in 6 diff. sizes, including a 4x4. You could give it a try.
I just installed another launcher (Action Launcher Pro), so I no longer have access to the HTC widgets. I want a basic music widget with play/pause, next/previous, album art and artist/song name. Basically, something like the stock HTC widget. 4x1 or 4x2 would be ideal sizes.
I have tried:
Plug In Music Widget: Perfect functionality, pretty ugly.
Phantom Music Control: No album art. Also, instead of a pause button, it has a stop button, meaning pressing play after that restarts the song. :-/ Also, it's feature of tapping the widget to open the music app also doesn't work for some reason, it says that it was unable to open the app.
Pure music widget: No previous button on any of the widgets other than the 4x4 one, which is too big.
Anyone got any other suggestions?

I use .. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zZXlhLnBsdWdtdXNpYyJd
Very good imo, not 100% sure if it works on the default HTC player but it works fine on the Google one.

Works perfect on the HTC player. I guess it is better than the previous winner, since it does everything I need.
Ideally, I just need one that looks better because this one is pretty ugly. However, I guess beggars can't be choosers, so if I don't find a better looking one, this is the winner.
Ugly is a very subjective word, what's ugly to you may be beautiful to someone else ... Saying that, I have mine set up with a transparent background and other stuff so that it works well with my wallpaper and screen setup ...

That's not a bad way to implement it. However, you had to put a lot of effort to get that 1 specific look. What I like about some widgets, like the HTC music widget, is that it's very versatile and looks good with just about any scenario.

True, I quite like a minimal look, although for me, there's a lot going on in that screenshot I posted lol .. I agree, the HTC music widget is nice, I'm just not a fan of the background colour, I think all widgets should allow you to change the background.
So I have tasker and widget lockscreen apps
I was wondering if there was a way to make the music widget only appear on the lockscreen when music is playing? or if tasker is not needed that would be a plus since im quite noob and my profiles there are super simple heh.
Probably it's a problem with your app.
Because i have the stock lockscreen and the music widget there is also if the music is in pause.

i know in the stock lockscreen its not there when you are not playing. but thats stock.
Im trying to use Widget Locker Lockscreen and was hoping there would be a way to have something similar to that maybe by using tasker?, but without tasker that would be the best as i said im noob haha.
just an invisible widget for music would be the best! and it only appears when music is playing
I thinks is difficoult/impossible
Is it me, or is the Music Widget on the Sense 5 too small?
I came from using the HTC One X, and the music widget on that would fill up one screen, and I liked that. Since it showed album art etc.
Am I missing something? There only seems to be 1 music widget size.
Anyway, anyone can recommend a music player that has a widget similar?
I use the standard music player with media utilities widget by mycolorscreen. I dont use sense launcher or lockscreen so use it on that. with a bit of customization you can make it look nice.
