Really love the Google Now cards UI. Would love to have a really cool/nicely laid out Zooper Widget like that

I looked through a bunch of threads dealing with this and wasn't really satisfied, so I figured I'd just ask
I switched to ADW and I like it, except I miss HTC clock and the calendar (month view) widgets.
The things that resemble those the closest seem to be Beautiful Widgets for weather, and Pure Grid for calendar.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
i like cm6 the best but having barely any funtional widgets like a nice calendar widget or anything drives me nuts. Any widget packs or anything that have nice widgets. Currently i only have beautiful widgets but its only just a clock and some switches
Beautiful Widgets, Switcher Pro, CalWidget, Android Agenda Widget.
LauncherPro has a built in calendar app if you want to have a sense looking calendar.
You could run launcher pro plus, comes with sense like contacts and calendar widgets.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
What is everyone's favorite weather/clock widget? I'm currently using "Sense Analog Clock" by Factory Widgets, but I'm not a huge fan of the fact that it doesn't update my location for the weather. Anyone have other recommendations?
I use Beautiful Widgets. It's non-free, though.

fancy widgets has free and paid, and follows your location
Which ones are worth buying/getting? I have Apex Launcher Pro and I want to get a accurate (As in has as accurate as can be location/weather forecasts for the UK), minimalistic weather app that can be used with UCCW so recommendations would be good. Any other apps I should look at? I know a lot of people use things like WidgetLocker, Beautiful Widgets etc. but they seem a little expensive.

Eye In Sky is a good, minimalistic and configurable weather app/widget. It's also free as an ad supported version. (BTW: Beautiful Widgets is often on sale, so keep an eye out for that)
WidgetLocker is worth it's asking price IMHO, if you need/want a fully customizable lockscreen. Never looked for another one after I bought it. If you don't want to invest the money, GO Locker might be an alternative for you. It's not as configurable as WidgetLocker though.
Other widgets I use for customization are Minimalistic Text and Missed It!.
If you want to get some inspiration what can be done with these, check out mycolorscreen.com. (my screens can be found here for instance but it's mainly older stuff)
You can always wait and see if they go on a Christmas sale.
Beautiful Widgets is definitely worth the ~$2 IMO. Not very expensive for a widget that you'd use on a day to day basis.
FYI: Beautiful Widgets is currently on sale for 50% off. So now might be the time to get it

and HD Widgets is $0.99 if you're interested in that, i prefer Beautiful widgets. but yeah
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm5ldC50c2FwcHMuYXBwc2FsZXMiXQ.. is a nice app to have at this time. tells you all the deals for apps+games
minimalistic text. i use the free version and loved it. MissedIt, a launcher of your choice, Widgetlockr, uccw, and phantom music control if you don't feel like putting a million widgets on your screen/lockscreen.
i got AccuWeather when it was on sale. for me, a notification is enough since it's 1 swipe away.
mycolorscreen is an amazing place for inspiration or just copying, also a good place to learn of the wonderful customization apps.

Hi I just rooted and installed carbonrom. My widgets all look a little smaller than I remember, and my google calendar widget's color scheme is different than the stock rom. What is going on, and any ideas how to get my widgets back to normal?
Carbon is AOSP based it has none of the stock touchwiz widgets

Is the google calendar widget on touchwiz not an aosp widget? Im not talking about the tw grid calendar widget. There's an agenda view google calendar widget that looks different on aosp than it did on touchwiz. At least the color scheme of the widget (not my colored calendar items) looks different. It's not a big deal, I was just curious. This widget, along with gtasks, hd widgets, and others all look smaller. Could this be because the search bar is now permanent and is taking up real estate?

Different roms are themed different. I actually expect nothing on an aosp rom to look like the tw ones
