Looking For Super Basic/Minmal Grid Style Calender Widget - Android Themes

Maybe I'm just missing something, but it seems like there's a severe lack of decent looking, customizable grid style calender widgets. With so many other "minimal" style widgets for everything under the sun, why doesn't something like this exist?

No need for month/days of week text, ugly headers or crazy amounts of frills, just a really basic 1px bordered grid with a transparent background.
Any suggestions? Closest things I could sorta find were:
Month Calender Widget: I like how small and basic it is, but there's no transparency options and it doesn't really have a visible lined grid.
Android Pro Widgets: Full featured, but much visually bulkier and text heavy than I would like like. There's a few more customization options in the paid version but from what I could tell they wouldn't really give me what I want. Someone also suggested a skin for this existed that was exactly what I wanted, but I can't find it.
Thanks to anyone who could point me in the right direction!

Thanks for the suggestion, but there's no grid option, is there? I know there's a million minimal calender widgets out there, but i'm specifically searching for a minimal grid-style calender widget.

Black minimal Icons

I've made my own minimal icons to mimic the ones by Ultralinx, but in black.
I thought you guys might want them, I think they look a lot better with themes like Revolution that have very dark status bars.
Two PSD files, a font, and a readme file are included to help you make your own icon.
You need to use desktop visualizer to apply these icons, and use astro to choose the file instead of the gallery, because the background of the previews in the gallery is the same color as the icons and you cant tell which is which

SiMi Clock
Ok, I use SiMi Clock too, but how are you getting an extension of the vertical line in SiMi? Which beautiful widgets weather skin is that?
What weather widget is that you're using?
Confused.
Im sorta at a loss here, I have used to Desktop Vis. as well as setting up me icos side to side of the "Launcher Pro" home icon. How do I change that one and get the "Launch opition for the Apps menu".
Im currently running 1.4.1 Blackhole with Launcher Pro.
Do I need to Uninstall Launcher Pro and then apply?
Also how are you getting the extension of the black line on SiMi??
EDIT: The weather is Beautiful Widgets and the skin is called "Tick"
Still can't figure out how to get the extension of the line down and how to pull the weather all to one side, I'm still getting it all the way across with NO black line.
Also whats the Wallpaper your using? Looks really nice together.

I used Launcher pro (needs to be the pay version, free doesn't support resizing).
Add the weather widget.
Add Simi clock.
Position the weather widget where you want it to be
Hold on the Simi clock widget to activate launcher pro's resizing.
Drag the box down as far as you want.
The line should extend down as far as the box is drawn.

Best Widgets?

I just got my G tab and have installed vegan. I am liking it a lot, but I cannot find widgets that look good on the homescreen. I am using launcher pro and want to know what you guys are using to make the homescreens look awesome.
THANKS!
MixZing has a nice 4x4 music widget. Also, another user here recommended Jorte as a replacement for the stock calendar--it works very well and I'm now using that. Finally, I also loaded up Android Photo Widget (Free); it displays and cycles through my photos--the free version limits you to 10 photos; paid version more. Nice widget.
Oh, I'm also using Typoclock which can be found here on XDA, along with a companion widget called TxWthr which is very basic; I link that widget to the WeatherBug app, which is awesome.
thanks for the reply. just got the typo clock.
anyone else have suggestions?
Where did you snag the photo widget? I have been looking for one that will allow me to select a specific gallery.
Another trick to make it look much nicer is to install ADW Launcher then go into the ADW settings and set it to the Max number of columns and rows.
This can also be accomplished with LauncherPro, so it is whichever launcher that you prefer.

I like the launcher pro plus friends widget that combines Facebook and twitter. The calendar widget in lp+ is cool too.
Audio Manager Pro has a good widget for quickly switching sound profiles that you create. Widgetsoid (free) can be used to roll your own toggle bar for pretty much anything on the device.
I am still working on my pages, but here is what seems to work best for me at this time. I also have the post-it notes widget, not yet on my screens. I try to keep my screens separated by media, utility, and gaming, once I load more games for the kids, they will get their own screen.

Yeah that Button Savior looks awesome! Stock TNT works okay with ADW launcher replacing the home screens. I'm just using that setup until Cyanogen is a little more stable for the tab.

Minimalist text or tajm.
Get beautiful widgets, they have a lot of differnt clocks to choose from. It's on the market place.
I can think of two
mClock
and
Clockr
Minimalist text is great, so many options and it's not just a time widget.it's battery and date too...
Thanks all. I tried clockr and minimalistic text. I like the latter.

Ohshi I never realized that...but that requires using a custom layout and I haven't the slightest clue how to do that hence why I just use the pre-defined layouts let lol
Semi sorta how to on Minimalistic Text
Minimalistic Text:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Where it says Predefined layout, choose Custom and then click on Custom layout.
Once you're in the Custom layout, you can drag those boxes in the top down to the dumpster.
Now the 3 icons that are to the right of the layout on top are from top to bottom :
Add Type > Which shows at the Bottom (Date, Battery, Clock, Weather, Misc.)
Add Row > Allows you to add another row (example Top row Clock, Bottom row Date)
Delete Row > Allows you to delete a row.
So, whatever type you choose, there are a lot of options. You just drag those boxes up to the top of row.
In the 1st screenshot under Custom layout is Text Style, you can play with those to set the different text styles and at the bottom you can preview your Widget.
Hope this helps a little bit!
Guys..
Dont even bother with minimalistic text. I love SiMi Clock.

minimalist text > simi clock.
it's all opinion my friend. but when minimalist text can do clock, date, weather, battery in any layout you want, it is far better than simi clock, again, in my opinion.
Weather & Toggle Widget, Weather Widget Forecast Addon is good one also..
Minimalist Text is very flexible.
Once you learn how to move around it, the options are endless.

Honeycomb Drawer Icon 3 Parts

I just wanted to share this three part Honeycomb style icon(s). I use it with ADW Launcher, but you may be able to use it w/ Launcher Pro (I don't know if it lets you use 3 icons all linking to the app drawer like ADW does).
this is the new look. I made an icon for the dialer; I had tried a few but a lot of them were too tall to fit well with a lot of the cool dock backgrounds that were added to the Honeycomb ADW theme (without being resized really small), so I made a dialer icon to match the height of the apps+ button.
here you go:
this is the (new) look for the dock will be achieved:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
matching dialer icon:
for the remaining icon in between, i just used a blank (completely transparent) .png file so it wouldn't have the little "+" plus sign in between
I linked this icon to the dialer as well, so if you press anywhere on the left side of the dock it goes to the dialer and anywhere on the right it goes to the app drawer. this worked out nicely. i actually like this interface better than stock and i changed it for aesthetic purposes only.
this is the old/alternate version without the dialer if you like the centered look
(they are white w/ a transparent background so they don't show up well on this page, but they are there)
Pt 1
Pt 2
Pt 3
P.S.
here are 2 other misc icons i made to go w/ the Honeycomb theme
Well done. Thank you.
Thanks mate!!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
updated
added matching dialer icon + instructions
Can you also link that dock if possible? Thanks!
it is one of the included dock backgrounds in the free honeycomb adw theme in the market. i can try to post it tommorrow if you just want the image.
Thanks for the tip, I was able to extract it from the apk !
great. i didn't want to post them, since i don't want to share somebody else's property w/o permission. this is my first thread and I am kinda sketch about that kinda thing.
cheers! i was looking for a good app drawer icon..

Any widgets similar to this for my home screen?

I have used Beautiful Widgets for my home screen widget for quite some time but now the clock does give the correct time and its geolocation does not update. Looking at the app store there are multiple reports of similar problems and the dev does not seem to be updating the app now. Screenshot attached.
Are there any similar easy to use widgets to give a similar HTC sense clock appearance and weather? In particular I need added functionality such as being able to customise multiple areas to click and open certain apps. I've looked on the app store and the closest I found was the 3D flip clock but like some others I tried the widget does not fill the whole area and leaves a space on the sides and below on my Note 9 screen which looks awkward.
Cheers for any suggestions.
You can give HD Widgets a try. It is customizable and you can probably get close to what you need. It has time and weather (temp current weather and forecast)
It has clickable areas for the clock, weather forecast
You can also set up specific apps for each clickable location.

I agree. I use HD Widgets for clock/weather & then stock Samsung calendar/appointment widget. Hope this leads you to finding something that works for you.

Beautiful Widgets
I use BW as well and this was happening to me until I went in to Settings>General >Weather data provider and switched it to AccuWeather instead of using Weather Underground. Weather Underground doesn't work for me at all, but AccuWeather works just fine. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the replies! I managed to get beautiful widgets working by going to "Optomise battery usage" in phone settings and switch this OFF for the widget, now all working again! If it stops then HD widget looks similar and slick!
