Like a lot of people I found the LG widget garish and wanted something that looked nicer and had more functionality.
"Fancy Widget" (a rip-off of HTC's widget) used to be perfect for me until that functionality was moved to the paid version - attached is the version before that happened
Within the app select Clock settings then
Clock tap action - Launch my application, Select clock application - Clock,
Date tap action - Launch my application, Select date application - Calendar
Then add the widget to your home screen and you're good to go!
Thanks for that mate, been looking for a HTC styled clock & weather widget .

I am looking for a full screen (4x4) weather widget, something similar to this...
h**p://cdn2.staztic.com/screenshots/fancy-widget-pro-1293175282-2.jpg
I have tried both beautiful widgets and fancy widget but none of these have the option of a 4x4 widget that shows the current weather and a weather forecast for up coming days option at the bottom (I am looking for the above screen as a 4x4 widget and not just a separate function)...
I have tried going down the route of placing smaller widgets and trying to resize them using launcher pro with very 'bizarre' results...
What I am trying to do is have one screen on launcher pro dedicated to weather (and nothing else other than the launcher pro dock and icons at the bottom and the notification bar at the top)...
Any ideas of an app / how I should go about doing this...?
Thanks
Palmary Weather from market is exactly what you're looking for
Its not as 'smooth' as beautiful widgets but I guess its going to have to do...
Thanks for the reply
**IN PROGRESS**

Had to thank you for posting Youlu. I wonder how this app has gone under my radar for so long. Its fantastic!
I can suggest to add these apps to the main post:
1. RvClock (free on Market) (Cowon D3 style clock widget with customizable colors)
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.aangle.rvclock&feature=search_result
2. RocketDial (Smart Dialer) (nice and very usefull (IMHO))
https://market.android.com/details?id=intelgeen.rocketdial.pro&feature=search_result
3. Advanced Clock Widget & Advanced Clock Widget Pro
Pro: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.zooper.acw.pro&feature=search_result
Basic: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.zooper.acw&feature=search_result
4. GO Weather (LG 2X style clock widget and weather forecast)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mediawoz.goweather&feature=search_result
5. MIUI Digital Weather Clock (MIUI Style digital clocks)
https://market.android.com/details?id=factory.widgets.MIUIDigitalClock&feature=search_result
6. Colorize Widget (a kit of different widgets)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.snowbee.colorize&feature=search_result
Widgetsoid/Widgetsoid 2.x is a great (free) alternative to the other toggle widgets. I actually think it's better than any of the paid ones I've tried.
Oh, and I totally second Folder Organizer (the paid version). Best app I've ever bought for my phone. Endless possibilities.
I wanted to put my App Drawer on the Shortcut Clock, but it wasn't available to add in the Gear Manager clock configurator.
I found a free drawer app on Play Store that works perfectly. The icon it provides for the TW shortcut dock is a perfect match to the Gear's icon style, too. I can't post links yet, but the app is "AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)" by JakedUp.
You will need to install something that allows you to access the app menu with a gesture, in order to configure it. But the default drawer style is a single-column icon list with titles, which will probably work for most people.
I set mine to have: 2 rows, 2 columns, horizontal scrolling, 15 point type, icon size 100, icon spacing 6. That makes it look like the Gear's default app drawer, but with icon titles.
Hey guys I was hoping the pre installed weather app included clock toggle when you click on the time b portion of the widget but it doesn't. I swear I had that standard weather app on my previous phone and it allowed me to quick access the clock from the widget. What weather apps allow this? Thanks!

Great looking widgets, plus the time opens clock, and weather opens up the weather

Awesome, thanks!
ok, so i found my old HTC Desire 510 and decided to mess with it a little bit. So i did a factory reset everything works fine, but now for some reason i can't add a weather clock widget to the home screen or any other panel next to it. It's weird, some widgets can be added with no problem, while others (including the weather clock widget) can't. And yes, i have enough room on the home screen. So what happens is i drag the widget to the home screen (or any other panel) and it shows the "choose your location" screen, so i choose my city and it closes as if everything was done successfully, but there's still nothing on the home screen (the widget doesn't appear). Any ideas?
