That is the HTC-Sense weather widget.. but could also be a modded version since it doesn't seem to be running on HTC-Sense (different launcher app).
Check out Beautiful Widgets in the Market, they used to have a similar widget.
Or check with the maker of the screenshot ;-)
so, is there a way to get the htc additions?

Weather and toggle widget donate has the same widget when you skin it

If you are not running a rom with Sense UI then the answer is no because it the apps and widgets require a certain framework that is only available on Sense UI devices.
I was wondering if there were any widgets out there that were very similar to the HTC Sense version.
Also, do they support google voice? Because I use google voice as my main source of SMS.
Beautiful Widgets look close to HTC Sense. And they are skinable; I have seen a couple skins that are pretty much HTC Sense knockoffs lol.
Are there anymore?
'Weather Widgets' Weather and Flip Clock look a lot like the Sense clock. And then beautiful widgets fullscreen weather widget look the most like sense.

none support GV because GV, currently, does not allow the APIs to read from the service
What about the SMS Widget that flips like a Roladex, can that be ported to the Captivate?
About No-Sense++ and LGMOD
This is a modified or 'advanced' No-Sense script. It is No-Sense, but it removes more Sense. Personally i think this is the best balance. Nice Sense parts are kept, while useless parts are removed. It comes with a Gingerbread launcher with 3d app drawer instead of Sense Launcher.
It will work on all Sense rom's!
LGMOD is a mod compilation which contains iOS Crusher boot animation, Sense 3.0 Camera, S3 USB Interface, S3 Lockscreen (with Settings->Personalize remapped to lockscreen settings), Whiskey103's Daemon Frequency's for RCMIX3D_1228_384_122, removed recent apps, Advanced Power Menu, Flying Animations, CRT On/Off, Extra Quick Settings XL, tweaked autobrightness settings, Trace keyboard, volumed ringtones (louder), modded browser to allow more tabs and Stock%Battery tweaked to Hybrid by me.
For arhd 5.1.x and 5.2.x only.. (and it should work on any 2.36 based rom with buzz kernel, or 2.50 based rom with rcmix3d kernel)

The only reason I kept facebook for htc sense is that it syncs high quality contact pics. Official facebook doesn't do that. Friendstream is needed to let facebook for htc sense work properly.
I'll upload an extra script though, for people like you who want to remove it to.
Edit:
Addon to remove Facebook for HTC Sense and Friendstream addedto first post.

I removed Weather ( and almost all the things removed with this script ) manually from AR 3.1 before flash when it was released and no FC experienced
Hey Luko, nice one. Is it too early for a feature request?
I would love to see the awful HTC "People" contacts app replaced with the plain AOSP Contacts app or something very similar. The People app's cluttered, fussy interface drives me nuts but Google Contacts' design is unimpeachable.
Sorry if it has been answered, but i have been using Launcher pro instead of HTC Sense for a while, does installing non-sense cript remove Launcherpro and my launcherpro's settings??
Really dont want to do all the setting over again.

I presume you're talking about Genie. Yeah it's great for small phones like the G1 but it's not really adequate for a large screen is it.
For a News ticker, I like gReader pro - it gets the same Google content plus whatever other RSS feeds you want to add, it's a better reader with more options for sync, storage and display, and it has a prettier 4x2 widget with a translucent "smoked glass" type canvas.
As for HTC Weather, it doesn't bloody work at the moment anyway. The one in Fancy Widgets does though, it's better at locating your town, it has many widget styles including H7C which has near-exact copies of the HTC home, superclock and weather widgets, and it works on non-Sense shells.
FWIW while I'm on the subject ;-) for shell I run ADW Launcher EX, I love the themability and the flexibility and the speed is fine on a powerful phone like the DHD.
I tried the SPB mobile shell 5.0 beta on this phone for a while and I loved it, but the range of SPB widgets is of course limited in the beta and the configuration keeps borking itself (screens randomly exchanging labels, it keeps forgetting which one is the home screen, all your android widgets vanish each time the shell restarts. YMMV though).
When a production version finally arrives I am sure it will annihilate virtually everything else, it's just too gorgeous for words. Hurry up, SPB!

I can try to do that, but as I remember it also brings some issues because its linked to the dialer. Also its not as easy as with the lockscreen (if you remove it you get aosp lockscreen back without further actions needed)
Personally I like the htc contacts app and dialer. (never tried aosp ones)
If you have a good alternative as replacement I can try to add it.

No mate, it only removes sense. So in your case it cleans up and speeds up your system but you wont really notice a change since you are already using launcherpro. You can remove 'launcher' from your apps after flashing this script. (it is the gingerbread launcher that comes with the script)

Thats not good. I really dont like HTC Dialer when I saw Android default one.
Maybe you can try to port this one: forum.samdroid.net/f9/mod-contacts-apk-phone-apk-w-315x315-callerid-eclair-2-1-froyo-aosp-cm-3339/
also Cyanogenmod AFAIK uses default phone app.

No, I have to make it compatible first. These 2 versions include a build.prop file from 3.x and 4.x
Upgrade to 3.x and flash No-Sense++ 3.x or wait till I upload a 2.x version.

This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen
MD5: 908C34BB0DE29F44279F8C5EA4137627
** Currently this app has been tested to work with Sense 3.6, 4, 4A and 4.5 **
Change log
1.41
- New option to hide app title
1.4
- Add support for Sense 4.5 (thanks Patrics83 for testing new version and support!). You MUST uninstall any previous version first.
1.3
- Add support for Sense 4A
1.2.1
- Fixed FC when loading installed apps
1.2
- Add support for Sense 3.6
1.1
- Added broadcast message to HTC lockscreen so no reboot is needed!

Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Reboot your phone
Limitations
You have to reboot the phone to allow lockscreen to load your app shortcuts. I'm still trying to figure out the way to notify HTC lockscreen for any changes. (If you know anything about this please PM me)

ah perfect! will give it a go soon
1.1 just posted. No reboot is required now!
I've loaded in Apex, and now wish to uninstall Rosie. Can you advise how to do this? Which programs to remove and where do you go to do that?

Just use Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall Rosie. You can also delete the Rosie.apk in the /system/app/ folder in Recovery by brute force.
Many thanks for that. I haven't got titanium. I might go hard and fast. Just go into the app folder and delete. I've got a full backup, so if worst happens I just restore.

I'm having problems loading your program. Being a zip I guess you load it through recovery but I get an error every time I try.
Edit
I just reloaded and then hit view (I've never seen that option before) and it's there! Now to try it.

I don't understand your problem. My app is a standard Android APK file which can be sideloaded with any file manager. You should not flash it through recovery.
Sorry. It must be the way it down loaded. 2nd time round it installed without a problem. It works great.
I've had a bit of a play and the unlock options are there. I'm not sure I gained as much free memory as I hoped but any gain is better than none. And I really am not a fan of Sense so any chance to thin it out is good.

Please report back if it works since ARHD uses Sense 3.6.

Very cool man, thanks for creating this and sharing it!
Edit: I can confirm your app works on Sense 3.6. I uninstalled Rosie and used Apex launcher as a replacement and your app allows me to successfully choose the lockscreen shortcuts. Great work :good:

I got reports from other users that on Sense 3.6, if you use the lockscreen shortcut to unlock your phone, the phone will be unlocked but the app is not launched. Can you confirm if it's really working?

Damn I never even thought of testing that, my bad. You're right, it shows the app but doesn't launch it.

LOL, never mind. At least I know the problem is consistent in Sense 4A. I'll work on that. :good:
Today I did some testing on various Sense versions and would like to let you know my findings:
Hybrid 4A (e.g. UKB X on IncS) - OK
Sense 4.1 (e.g. ViperX on One X) - OK
Sense 4A (e.g. UKB V on IncS) - No shortcuts in lockscreen
Sense 3.6 (e.g. ARHD on IncS) - Lockscreen shortcuts appears and update correctly but shortcut app cannot be launched when unlock
At this moment, my first priority is to support Sense 3.6. After that I'll work on 4A.
Just posted 1.2. Now supports Sense 3.6.
Posted 1.2.1. Fixed FC introduced in 1.2.
