After the putchase, it was installed, and when I go to select widgets, not all of the widgets are there. No clock, no weather, not sure how many I am supposed to have.
I decided maybe I need to uninstall/reinstall. Went to market, there was no 'reinstall' option. So I went into Settings/Applications/Manage Apps. and uninstalled. Got message I had a refund.
I presume I got the correct app, as it showed the right company in the Google Checkout.
What should be the right process to get this installed, especially if something is wrong.
One thing I find quite interesting with apps for Android: looks like no way to contact many of the sellers. For this for example I went to their web site, didn't see any support or method to contact them.
This app had downloadble widgets which means not all of them come installed with it.
Further research shows that many users have trouble with this app ranging from issues like yours to battery problems.
The website for the app says that you can contact them through email from the android market. if this is not the case, I would abandon this app on that basis alone lol.
poppycock app works fine on my n1 and my galaxy s.. once installed all widgets are there you only have to download skins for weather and clock.
try downloading with wifi on.. it is much faster.

Thanks for the input, but they are not there 'once installed', if then you have to 'download skins for weather and clock'. Seems to me a clock should be a widget, not a skin. On the site, which has all of 1 page talking of features, they mention things about skins, and downloading skin kits. That implies development to me.
I went to the Market online, but that, interestingly enough, you can't even search on. On thes web site, interestingly enough, NO method to contact them there. But thanks to your tip, I do see an email address on the Market from the phone.
This is quite an interesting learning experience.
The web site that is on the Market is not reachable. Maybe trouble tonight.
I'll try the email route and see if I can learn a bit more about what I need to get this stuff working.
there are 100s of custom clock skins they cannot possibly put them all with the app it would be huge.. you add the beautifull home widget under under skins download and select the clock you want..
The widget name you want is called Beautiful Home, and when you pick that one it opens up a settings box. Down at the bottom it "save and apply." You gotta hit that button to actually put the widget on the screen. If you hit skins instead you can choose what you want, but you have to apply each time as you back out of the settings interface to make the widget "stick". Small learning curve. Once the widget is up, you can hit the weather to see the big weather popup, and hitting the menu button there brings up settings and skin buttons.
This is my favorite widget, the most reliable. I have submitted skins that were accepted, so I know they are responsive. If you still need help let me know.
Thank you so much for the details. You'd think an app that is at a cost, however small, would have at least a base level of documentation on their web page.
Question: Is Beautiful Home a different set than Beautiful Widgets, or is it just required in order to use Beautiful Widgets?

Beautiful Home is the name of the clock/weather widget that comes with Beautiful Widgets.
Thanks. I got it going.
I was thinking that a 'Home' Widget was a replacement for the home screen or something like that. Its beginning to look like a home widget must be a widget that can be placed on any screen, and is 'home' to other things you will be adding, as opposed to replacing some other home widget. Is that the case in general?
How's that for a tongue twister?
I would like to know if you all recommend this app for the Captivate?
Beautiful Widgets + Launcher Pro = Fantastic UI experience
I've been using weather and toggle widget and like it more than beautiful widget but both are nice.

Which Weather Widget and Toggle Widges are you using?
I have Beautiful Widgets along wiht Beautiful Weather LIve Wallpaper, and really like it. But I'm always interested in seeing what's out there.
I'm looking for a lock screen that is like a calender list, I used to have this on my iphone and really want this quick list again

best way I know is to get widgetLocker and get a calendar widget..
widgetLocker will probably be the best 2$ you'll spend.
As for the calendar widget there are dozens to choose from. I personally like Gemini Calendar as there are more options to set in the calendar in itself not to mention it has a variety of widget options from compact to large. etc. my 2c
Another vote for widget locker. I like pure calendar.
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

i tried jorte and business calendar... both need to enter the program to edit the event which ... prefer it to launch into google calendar..
i also miss the simple switch between agenda and calendar....
anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks
Android agenda widget is a good one

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.

Does anyone know yahoo like weather widget where it can display photos or pictures and be resized to cover the entire screen? it looks good - but the yahoo one is buggy. Often it says problem loading widget.
