So we've got the clock and search bar built in....
Do we know about other widgets? I recall hearing there was a delay or something on widgets.
I'd like one that shows the weather/calendar items on the home page so I don't have to check manually. Yeah, nothing too big, just wondering if anyone knew what's up with the lack of widgets out there.
Thanks.
The widget API is not ready/existent yet.

Seriously please look at the date, how are you even on a thread from that long ago?
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
When I look at the HTC Aria, there are many more widgets listed under Android while the Captivate has a much shorter list. How do I add those widgets to the Captivate?
Anrdoid Market.
On a side note I really recommend Beautiful Widgets. It is worth the money and adds a very Sense UI like clock / widget fun.

Most of those are likely HTC widgets that only come with their devices.

Good point that is more than likely the case. For a sense ui like feel get LaucherPro (Its free) and Beautiful Widgets (Paid). Or if you like LauncherPro it has a paid version that adds a few extra widgets.
If your using LauncherPro or ADW-Launcher I HIGHLY recommend giving "Pure Messenger Widget" a try. It's by FAR the best social network widget out there. And if your using one of those two launchers I just mentioned its scrollable! You can customize it to make it just like HTC's FriendStream or Twitter widget.
What about things like the stock news and weather widget? I didn't find that in the market and now since replacing touchwiz with launcher pro I don't have access to the daily briefing widget anymore.

i think this is for TW3 or 4 i would love to have them on my Cappy any chance of this ??
Which widgets are you referring to? Was there an image that didn't make it, or were you referring to all of the TW widgets?

I see. I haven't seen the widgets floating around independently of TW. But I recall seeing a UCCW theme that was based on it. Hold on a moment, and I'll update this post with the link.
EDIT: Found it. Here you go. Hope it helps. I know it's not quite the same as the actual widget, but it should at least give you the look.

There are a few others that match the clock style you're looking for, as well:

Thanks to Roberto's thread for indexing the UCCW themes and making them easy to find. Saved me from having to go back through all the pages in the original thread.
Here it is....try this one..
I just barely got the Nexus 7 and I have never used android devices before. I have seen images of people who have a pretty sweet set up and others who totally demolished it. Can anyone give me ideas on what widgets to get, how I can customize? Now ideas on how to but what programs will let me do that.
Thanks
Beautiful widgets has some pretty decent weather and clock widgets.
Nova launcher was the first thing I added.
buy beautiful widgets or hd widgets. if you want to further tink with it download a launcher such as nova. with a launcher you will have alot more control over the appearance of your app folder etc.
