thx...gonna check it out
can you post up some screenshots of these widgets.
thanks
Where do you set your location? It's nice weather in Washington, but what do I care?
Widget looks 4x1, but its really 4x4.
Unable to change from Wash, pressing menu from the settings screen only brings up 'about'
Even if I could correct the city, the 4x4 is annoying.
same here..couldnt change location

Not sure why you guys are not able to change the location. The only thing I did was remove the widget and then re add it. I then was prompted to insert my location. Still, I doubt I will use it since I lose space on my screen.
Thanks for the tip that I should have tried anyway as I was about to also post the same issue. But now I have to find out how to add my location as it is in not in the index. Anyone know how to add city to the index?
Does it not have a search box above the list of locations? That's how I had to do mine.
obviously it does but my city is not in the index
Wow, that is very odd. Where I am currently staying is pretty much the land of the forgotten (middle of the desert) and I was still able to pull up info by zip code.
To change the location, you'll have to first remove the widget from screen then re-add it. At the re-adding, it'll ask you for the location.
You might have to do this for more than once in order to activate its setup screen.
Tested, removed and added again Beautiful widget
How can I remove a weather widget from my screem??
thanks
I ran this on my Droid Incredible and it worked. I love the look of the widget but the damn thing is off by 23 degrees.

Hello- Let me start by saying hello and cheers to everyone here for posting tutorials and links to your great mod work. I am an Android noob but learning.
Anyway, I am looking for a digital clock widget that the user can place anywhere on the homescreen he chooses.
Does anyone know if anything like this is available ??
Cheers for any help.
Thank You, LL-
D-clock widget is a nice one, it has no weather only the clock. But if you want weather too look out for beautiful widget, weather and toggle widget or fancy widget. Thise are the ones i have used and they work fine.
Try ( clockr )
looks beautiful and can be placed any where i guess
Cheers for the help guys.
I have also figured something out which was probably known to most anyway, if you press your finger on any widget clock just wait till the delete trash can pops up and you can drag and drop any clock anywhere on the homescreen.

Cheers, LL-
Clockr is very nice but very unstable right now (occasionally stops updating the time, or FCing.) Thus it has been taken off the market. Hopefully it should be fixed soon.
try beautiful widgets there is a reason it is one of the most popular pay apps, it has clocks and weather.
there are literally hundreds of different clocks.
Beautiful widgets does not have a standalone clock only widget.
I just tried d-clock widget, it is indeed very nice and slick.
Try Digital Clock Widget by Maize.
It's free, has a basic digital clock with the date
It looks like this........

What is the Clock/Weather widget? im looking for it on market for like 10min's and cannot find it.
this is a htc sense widget and i don't think you can use it on a non sense rom.
Use fancy widgets, It's available here:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/fancy-widget/com.anddoes.fancywidget
Ignore the screenshot - once you have installed it, go into its settings and choose to download more skins for it - download the H7C clock skin (usually at the bottom of the list) and this will look just6 like the sense clock.
This is what I use and it's great
wildcardspv: I got the Fancy Widget, i have installed H7C skins for both clock and weather, but i have troubles setting it up.
On the skin browser it looks awesome, but when im trying to add in on home screen i can put Clock/Weather only separately with 4:1 rows, and it looks nowhere similiar to the skin...
What am i doing wrong?
Tap and hold on homescreen and choose add widget, then choose fancy widget, then fancy home. This should add the clock with the weather built in, like the sense clock.
Sometimes it sticks on 'loading widget' at this point so if it does just drag it to the trash can and add it again, it'll be ok the second time.

Check it yourself, it is supposed to be H7C skin...

Nevermind i just had to change Clock style, and it looks way better now thanks!
Last question, is it possible to turn on an Card Clock animation when a minute/hour change like in Sense? It was kinda cool.
Erm, no.
I don't think any of these clock 'apps' do that - there have been threads about it before.
Glad you got this working though, enjoy!!

Looks like Launcher 7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025667
You need another app, links in there should help.
You can also use desktop visualizer to get the sizes right (1*2, 3*1, etc).
While you can use launcher 7 or something similar, if you want to keep launcherpro you'll need to use desktop visualizer.
Ok so how do I resize now? I dl the resize image app but its not letting me use the addon?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
You shouldn't need to crop or resize the images, just download some of these types of icons that others have made, they're already sized properly. Then add a desktop visualizer widget - choose the size that corresponds to the image you want. Make sure you don't get horizontal/vertical sizes mixed up. Then once the widget is added, tap on it & it will take you to the screen to set it up. Choose your icon, then choose what it launches (shortcuts are under "other", apps under applications). To get the look right, I'd clear the text so there's not a label randomly on your image. Choose the highlight style then "ok".
If you need help finding icons to use, do a search on xda. If you can't find any, send me a pm and I'll link you to them/send you some.
thanks to you all for the help, it is much appreciated.
i did find a link that gave me the dimensions for the icons. and this is what i came up with.
still a work in progress (dont really like the gaps between the vertical icons have to widen) but i like it so far and i have to stop for the night, figured id share before going to sleep.
thanks again
EDIT: An alternative home launcher must be installed to take advantage of the "Activities" option. I have LauncherPro installed.
This is a simple workaround for those of us who have had a problem with the World Clock disappearing from the app drawer...I have attacthed the apk if you can't find it on your system!
First-Verify that Htc Clock is installed by performing a Google search with the search soft key (This is the only way it will work)...

Second-Long press any home screen and tap shortcut...
Third-Tap Activities (It may take a few seconds to load)...
Fourth-Tap Clock...
Fifth-Tap WorldClockTabControl...
Sixth-Place Clock Shortcut on any screen and enjoy
]
I don't think it's ever been in my app drawer. You get to it by tapping on a widget on the homescreen.
And for your workaround, you need LauncherPro installed. It does not have to be the launcher you are using. The "activities" is a LP feature, not a sense one.
I've only had this phone a couple of weeks but I remember when I first got it there was a shortcut in the app drawer....however, a few days later i recieved and OTA so maybe that's why it disappeared. Either way, this may help someone find a quicker way to get up for work in the mornings
Please read the second part of my post. You left something out of your instructions.
oops....your are very correct. forgot all about that part
This method does not work for me (the apk fails to instal). Does the phone have to be rooted?
I messed up again. Wrong apk. Bear with me, I'm still learning. Lol
I'm away from my computer for the nxt couple of days, send me a pm and I'll email you my old desk clock to use untill I can post the correct apk.
In the meantime you can always access deskclock by tapping the time on clock widget

Does anyone have any idea how to shift the weather over the the left so that it doesn't touch the date? All weather skins do this, nit just the current.

Its in the widget settings
That option I think you are talking about only effects the largest home weather/clock widget. The one I'm using the the smaller one
I think 4x 1,2 do that also. Pick a larger one and resize it if the launcher allows.

What widget and skin are you using here? 4x1 Beautiful Superclock? Or 4x1 Beautiful Smaller Home?
(I ask because I don't see what got you a layout with the location on the left)

4x1 Beautiful Smaller Home
I guess removing the weather display in weather settings might be your only solution, that or using a larger widget. Im using 4x2 but its stretched across an 8 icon grid.

Ah... I forgot about that one. I've been using the Beautiful Superclock, which allows me to stretch/shrink it to 3x1. This has allowed me to put a Beautiful Battery next to it.
I actually don't see the point of having the time in the widget -- it's already displayed in my status bar. I really just want the date / weather / weather location! Such a setting might also help you with the weather bumping into the date.
You can also hide the city name, which alters the rest of the layout...
