I have a widget that was originally a 4x2 (maybe 4x3), but I removed the top layer making it a 4x1 (or maybe a 4x2).
But the preview basically is showing a large empty section on the top half of the preview, and my work on the bottom. Is there a way to crop the 'canvas' size of this existing widget so that I can use it as a 4x1 on my home screen without scaling problems?

has anyone looked into this? why does android only allow icons to be placed in grids? why not allow free positioning?
burp......
Does it really matter honestly?

you can get adw launcher, and change the settings so each screen is 8x8 instead of 4x4.
But 4x4 or 5x5 is about optimal, because the icons are a standard size any more than this and icons will begin to overlap and it is difficult to touch a specific icon and not accidentally click the wrong one (which is why I think they made it 4x4, to avoid clutter, easier to keep track of coordinates, etc)
Something that happened in the ICS to JB upgrade in that I've seemed to lose the ability to have a 5 column widget. I use ADWLauncher EX and have had 5 colums on my Photon and ICS SG 3. I use a Sense-like clock widget and was able to have a 5x2 clock at the top of the screen. After the JB upgrade the height and width of the widget come from predetermined values and the ability to increase or decrease has been lost and a 5x2 option is not available. Am I missing something or is this just the nature of JB? A 4x2 clock on this screen is certainly usable, it's just not centered.
I'm looking for a date/time widget for lock screen smaller than default one present on n7.
I didn't found any way to resize it
The default would be great if it was 3x2 or 4x2 instead it is 4x3.
There are tons of date/time widgets on the store but not all are designed to be placed on lock screen (only on home screen), the few I've found are bigger than what I want
Any suggestion?

Great, the dimension is simply perfect but seems I don't like the weather and it seems can't be removed
Widgetsoid has a lockscreen clock with the date under it

Zooper lets you make your own lock screen widgets with different elements, including clock with date, and you can scale it to any size you want.
I put a widget 7x1 of Zooper Pro on my main screen, and he can not define the actions of the widget by Themer. For example, when pressing the battery icon screen go to the battery options. I can only do that when I use the widget 1x1. When I use other widgets it only appears the 3 standard options of Zooper. How do I put the actions of Themer without using the widget 1x1?

Themer actions are only available to Themer's build-in Zooper variant (the one you describe as 1x1 probably). You can resize that one though if you want to make bigger widgets with it. Just add the 1x1 to your Themer screen, long-press it and select "resize". Then you can pull it to the desired dimensions.

The problem is I can not resize the widget right when I use it in 1x1 size. But when I use it in another dimension, in 7x1 for example, I can put in the size you want. Is there a secret random to fit it when I create a new widget 1x1? Or could this be a bug in the application? Why sometimes when I drag it to increase the size remains the same and does not change, so I'm having trouble

Don't use Themer that much so you are probably better of asking that question in the Themer sub-forum.
is it possible to show widgets in the widget drawer as app style icons instead of large "widget" icons? i'd like to tidy up my widget drawer (to match the rest of my phone) but it's impossible with the different sized widget icons that hog a full page for just 6. heck, i would be perfectly happy to just list the widgets in a list, as text only, if that were possible. i'm using nova launcher and haven't found any settings that would allow me to alter the widget icons appearance. any thoughts?
