I'm looking for the app/widget that is used for weather that has the frosted or wet screen depending on conditions. I've dug around a bit and can't find a reference to a specific app. I'd like to put that on my Galaxy S 4G if I can. Thanks!
Hey,
might not be exactly what you want, take a look at:
go-weather
http://www.appbrain.com/app/go-weather/com.mediawoz.goweather
animated-weather
http://www.appbrain.com/app/animated-weather-widget-clock/com.mobilityflow.animatedweather.free
Thanks. Not quite what I'm looking for, though they are good. I"m looking for the one that will frost the screen on cold days and has a wiper on rainy days. Plus a black clock. Appreciate it though!
thats a feature built into HTC sense, think the closest option is Beautiful Widgets with the bw animation pack, then use the weather effects live wallpaper
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bw-animation-package/com.levelup.bw.forecast
or
http://www.appbrain.com/app/beautiful-live-weather/com.levelup.beautifullive
Hmmm.. too bad. But thanks for the tip. I"ll give that a try. I do appreciate the help.
You can use the paid version of fancy widget, not exactly as sense animations but it's near...

I use themes all the time and my phone has never looked as sexy as it does now thanks to all theme devs.
I have one quirk, all themes look so sexy with one odd ugly looking calender widget on my home screen.
Please..Please.. skin the Calender widget when you release the next version of you skin. All Devs pay attention to search & Music widget but leave the Calender widget.

i was looking through the .apk, and it looks like it would be mostly xml edits to skin the calendar widget.... not 100% sure tho
I agree... The calendar widget looks very awkward on most of these themes.
posted this exact request in Q&A a couple days back, no responses...
I know beagz said he was going to look into this, that's the last I'd heard. I hope someone can make this happen, default widget just doesn't blend with these beautiful themes.
Yes still planning. Had some other requests taking priority

Something dark would be really nice... is it possible to make the text white?

ears burn much? look forward to seeing what you do. I'd love to see something that blends with the hero flip clock or retro widgets but I'm sure whatever you do will look great. Really think someone needs to take the initiative and develop a new calendar widget from scratch, so many possibilities though... now that I think of it, I'd even like a full screen widget, maybe... ahhh who knows.
I like the flip clock idea since so many use it.
Stay tuned. When I do that there will be more than one.
I wish someone would just do a simple skinning of it like how the pictureframe in KSpec Oreo looks... just the border needs a good look the rest can stay the same.

Text color is not a part of the ROM. You can change the color of your text by logging into your google calendar online and on the left should be your calendar name, change that color to what you would like your text color to be and then resync your phone. Text changed!
Please, PLEASE can someone release a set of skins for this!

Check out the "pure Calender" widget. it costs $0.99, but it is SO worth it. There are different sizes to fit with just about any widget setup, and a bunch of different skins so it can blend with almost any theme you want! Also, it shows as many events as will fit on the screen, not just one like the default calendar widget
My first time uploading a theme I did for Sense 2.1.
Its based on Burberry's Original, Black and Purple Checks. This includes the background and clock of Sense 2.1. I can't make a screen shot, so sorry about that, maybe someone who tried it can be kind enough to post it for me.
Download
Checked out your theme. Very nice clock...I am not very familiar with Burberry the colors for the wallpaper are they the right ones? if you had something a little brighter or lighter it would show up better against tabs, programs and other options. I took some screen shots and will upload them for anyone who wants to see the good work you did. Thanks, I will find a place amongst my collection of clocks that actually work as they should.
Great job and hope to see some more quality work from you. Maybe a theme that could go a little futher and skin other buttons and options?
Chavtastic!!
I can't seem to get beautiful widget to display the skins. I would love to get one of those htc looking clocks or any other visual stunning widgets.(I'm a sucker for sleek looking widgets and don't mind paying for quality.) I'm currently using launcher pro and all I get with beautiful widgets is a crappy grey square with a clock. If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or suggest something I would love the help.
Thanks
try going into launcher pro and setting your columns and rows to 7 and then hold on the widget to allow you to adjust the size of the widget with launcher pro and make it a little bigger or whatever you want.

Had that problem after installing B5.1. Went into Titanium and cleared data on BW and all is well now.
Stock Style Beautiful Widgets Super Clock Skin I made, should be able to get it through the app soon.
Unzip and place in sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/scskins
Enjoy.
Nice work, keeping with the theme I like it.

Beautiful Widgets: HTC Sense UI Skin
Woah nice job! I would totally use this, although lately I've been running without the superclock, due to the fact that there's already a clock on the lock screen and the top right corner. But wow, you don't see alot of skins of this quality within the BW app! Nice!
One thing I've been looking for is a superclock skin with the same font as the D3 lock screen. My fave font! Modern and simple.

Do you know the name of the font used? or where i could look in the system dump to find it? I can make one using that font.
Edit: Nevermind I Found It.

Heres a new one with the same font that is used on the lockscreen. Enjoy!
Not bad, are the skins hard to make? I've been thinking about making my own BW Skins and Themes. Just don't know if I have the patience to bust out Photoshop working so much.

It pretty much depends on what you are doing, this took me about 3 hours because of the level of detail involved, I took the system dump, extracted the apk files until i found the .9.png that was used for the widget backgrounds, and i copied every single line and gradient down the pixel, so that takes a while. But many of my others where fairly simple. It also depends on your level of skill with Photoshop and you knowledge of the tools, I've been using Photoshop for many years, so I'm very familiar with it.
Plus loading it on the phone every time you make a small change can be a little annoying at times...

I'll give it a try eventually, lol.. I've got 6 years experience as a freelance designer and developer. I've just gotten to the point where if it isn't making me money I don't like to open up the programs.
This is now available to download from the application! I have also created a gingerblur toggle skin to match, which is also available! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the skin. It looks great!
1 question though. My weather skin is still in stock and doesn't look like the one you are posting.
Would you mind posting your weather skin as well?
Thanks!

The weather skin is downloadable through the app, its not made by me its & called tick, sorry i forget to mention it.
Are there any decent weather apps out there that work properly with the note's huge 720p screen?
Reason I ask this is because after recently using my personal favourite weather app (beautiful weather) it only takes up a part of the screen and looks ugly.
It has not been updated to stretch and make use of the note's screen.
The note comes preinstalled with accuweather but I do not like it's interface & when looking at the temperatures of other countries it's all over the place.
Any good recommended weather apps made specially for the note or at least take up the whole width of the screen?
Eye candy is a must have, something good looking like beautiful weather.
How about ocean weather.

HTC Sense style weather
Coming from 9 years of HTC devices, I am quite attached to the Sense Weather Clock.
Fancy Widgets has the best app that works well and puts waether and time on the homescreen and links to the stock clock.
There are many other skins included than the Sense one in Fancy Widgets.
How about Beautiful Widgets? I'm using it myself (on my DHD) and it works and looks (after some theming) awesome.
I think it's free at Getjar, but it may have been a "app of the day" thing when i got it.
Beweather is also good.. it also has HTC like or even better animations of the weather when u tap them..
P.S- its free at get jar too..
Thanks everyone for your replies, much appreciated.
I think the best looking weather app I've seen posted here was the Fancy Widgets which I will try.
BazookaAce recommended beautiful widgets which is great and I've tried.
Problem with beautiful widgets is that it's made for devices which are 800x400, which is what you have.
As the Galaxy note is 1280x800 it does not stretch in full screen and looks horrible.
Im using yahoo weather.

I use Beautiful Widgets and Go Launcher EX does a great job of re-sizing the widgets. I have setup my grid 5 wide and 6 high and the only problem now is finding enough widgets to fill the screens.

On the contrary...BW has widgets that expand to the full screen. I tried them all & stuck with BW.

After trying a few weather apps I preferred the one you mentioned, beweather followed by beautiful widgets...
I decided to stick with beweather pro. It's a great looking app having an excellent interface as well as being easy to configure and customize.

Can you please explain how?
I have gone through everything, but can't change it from 4 columns wide to 5.
Cheers.
The launcher has to support it. Its a launcher and not a widget feature. Currently Zeam, ADW (Ex?), Launcher Pro (Plus) and Go Launcher Ex support widget resizing, there are maybe more, dont know.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
