[Android 2.1+] Floating Widget - Paid Software Announcement and Discussion

Hi everyone, been on XDA since i got my first Android (HTC Hero) and over time I have published a handful of android apps, mostly card games, however my new app is a utility I think the XDA community can really benefit from so I decided to make this post. Below is the market description and link. I’m charging $1.49 for it. Let me know what you think.

Widgets are no longer only for your homescreen!
Floating Widget lets you interact with any homescreen widget while you’re using any app on your device.
Ever wish you could:
- Control your local or streaming music without leaving your current app?
- Have a sports scoreboard up while using your e-book reader?
- View a data usage widget in real time while using the app you’re testing?
- Have a clock on the screen while playing a full screen game?
- View CPU usage while you’re interacting with an app?
- Have the a traffic indicator widget always up while commuting?
With Floating Widget, you can do all of these and more! Check the screenshots and embedded video for setup and examples.
This app is under active development and widgets were not designed for this, so instead of leaving a negative review because of bugs and glitches, please email me at [email protected] with any issues, concerns or questions.
Requires Eclair (2.1) and 4 special permissions:
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW - to make the widget stay visible on the screen
READ_PHONE_STATE - to allow the widget to hide when a phone call comes in
VIBRATE - to signal that the widget is in move mode
CHECK_LICENSE - to validate purchases and prevent piracy

A few features I'm working on include resizing, saved profiles, and a tasker/locale plugin. Any other ideas I'm more then happy to hear.
I also have a video posted that demos it's setup and use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHGLIWi4-e0

[Live Wallpaper] Album Art - RELEASED

Have spent a bit more time working on Live Wallpapers, and the newest one pulls your album art and shows it on the home screen, a bit like the screensaver OS X comes with.
Features:
* Accesses your Android album art library (if you see it in Music Player, you see it here...)
* Shuffle feature
* Compatible with LauncherPro
* Very fast (approx 0.5 seconds on first load)
* Smooth scrolling between screens
* Periodically changes individual covers
* Opaque setting to make pale text easier to read.
Update:
Thanks to the team of beta testers who did a great job helping me identify bugs and implement a few new features. The Album Art Live Wallpaper is now released to the Market for 99p, and a demo is also available for free.

Album Art Live Wallpaper (Demo)
Free copies:
If you encounter a serious problem in the demo (for example, it won't load on your phone) and you work with me to fix it by sending a log entry etc, you get to keep a free copy. ;-)
thanks looks interesting
Love it Now I need to get all my album art for my music haha
Awwh.. I thought it would be scrolling verticalling or horizontal through all the covers slowly. (Think: Matrix, but with covers)
But it just updates the pictures directly.
ohhh its a paid app..
pfffft

Why do people turn their nose up at a app that cost a $1. That's nothing.

BTW, any requests just ask
So to anyone using it would you like an option rather than to display date you could also choose from something like "Today, 5 hours ahead" ?
Also thoughts about something like this for displaying time rather than traditional numbers?
New update:
Added a date preference in settings where rather than show date next to time it will display as something like Today, yesterday, tomorrow and hours behind/ahead. See screenshot:
New update:
- Date calculator

Updated with time zone converter
BTW, anyone think of some useful tools I can add?
Updated with a week number calculator. Enter a week number and year and get back the start date
Update:
I've added a pin local time option in settings. With this you can pin current local time to the top of the list or set your own time zone and use that instead.
Would anyone using the app find any of the tools on this page useful?

New update, filling a couple of requests:

You can use any face.
This launcher is very nice and free but I still prefer SWapp Launcher, it is just my MHO.

I haven't tried the other launcher but I am just glad to see a launcher! I am using this with my LG Urbane and it works pretty well. Great when I found out I could use any watch face too, as I personally do not like the look of a digital face (hence me getting a watch).
So much easier now to launch say the sleeping tracker, notes, timer, etc without having to use voice or scroll through a list of apps in public.
Thanks
