Ok i give, where does one find app iconsets to use with the widgets? i tried a couple i found on the play sotre, but as far as i can tell they only work with the launcher (like Nova or Apex) and are not usable for picking icons in Zooper. Unless there is another way of putting an app link in a widget that i have not figured out yet. I've been having to use text links and would like to actually use icons.
I was wondering the same. I have one icon pack that zooper will let me select from, but i have yet to find another that will let me pick from it when i'm choosing a bitmap. The only one is kitkat concept or something like that. I may check to see if any others from the same dev do the same later tonight if i remember. It is a paid theme, but none of the other paid themes i have will do the same.
This comes down to the devs of the icon sets supporting a certain android intent. Basically what's happening when you are going to select a bitmap, Zooper asks the systems "Ok, I want to get back a bitmap. Who can do that?" and the systems responds with the "select your app" dialog, that represents all the apps that can. If the author of an icon set included this option in his app it will show up here. If it doesn't you could use something like ThemeX to extract the icons you want from the pack to your sd card and select it from there.
Hello all! This is probably a really simple problem but I'm new to Zooper and don't have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong. I have Zooper pro and none of the widgets that I've created and saved to sd card via the the save icon in Zooper will show up on my home screens. When I make a widget on my home screen and have the option to pull set ups from my sd card I can select the widgets that I have made and saved, however when I select one and head back to my home screen my widget never shows up. I don't care how long I wait nothing ever shows up but the original widget that says resize or tap to start. What am I doing wrong?????
Greetings!
First I had Themer. Brilliant! But then I wanted to get my Nova Launcher-functions back (e.g. transparent statusbar for facebook- and other notifications), so I had to buy Zooper Pro. Now I don't get the widgets from my favorite Themer-Theme to Zooper Pro under Nova. :/ I don't find them anywhere in the list.
1. Trying to place a widget on Homescreen --> Overview -->"Themer Everything Widget" 1x1. Nothing happens (small, invisible, empty widget).
2. Trying to place a widget on Homescreen --> Overview -->"Themer Zooper Widget" 1x1. Transparent box with "Loading ZW ...". Nothing happens then.
3. Trying to place a widget on Homescreen --> Overview -->"Zooper Widget Pro" --> any size --> touch --> "SD-Card" --> nothing there.
So how do I get single widgets from Themer to Zooper Pro?
Another issue with my Galaxy S4: When moving back from KNOX the wallpaper is enlarged. How to solve that one?
Thanks for your help! :highfive:

I think the following should work: load the theme you want to copy the widgets from in Themer. Then open a file manager of your choice and go to
Code:
/sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/MyThemes/<somenumber>/widgetconfigs/
. There should be multiple folder in there depending on how many zooper widgets the theme uses. Go into each folder and copy any .zw. file you find to
Code:
/sdcard/ZooperWidget/Templates/
. Now you should be able to open them via the way you described in 3.
Oh and for future reference: please post either a new thread or in the Q&A thread and not both. This makes it harder to help you if answers get spread over both threads.

I tried. And I failed. There are no .zw-files in those folders. Path is correct. It's the "Hills"-Theme (not a number as a foldername). 8 Folders (numbered from 1 to 8). In each folder there are files like e.g. sw.theme, sw.theme.human, mcs_62679 and one thumb.png. But no .zw-files. :/ Using "Root browser".

Ok, then that was a fluke of me importing a locally exported Theme. Here is another thing you could try: Load the theme in Themer, unlock the widgets, long tap on them and select configure. In the edit window that opens select the save icon in the action bar, choose a name and save. Now it should be available in the sd card category in Zooper Pro.

Nope. Already tried that. I get no files showing up in the sdcard-category. Stays empty.

Huh, interesting. I tried it out before posting and it worked without a hitch. Don't have a clue why I does not work for you, sorry.

I think I found out what the problem is. The widgets made with Themer are called "Everything Widgets", the other ones (I now can find them in sd card category after saving) are Zooper Widgets with far more options when editing them (grey menu). So it seems that most of the preconfigured Themer-Theme-widgets are not compatible when importing those in Zooper Widget.

Ah ok, I thought you had already made sure that you were trying to export Zooper widgets, missing the obvious solution Yes, Themer supports two widget solutions. Everything Widget is the older variant before they bought and integrated Zooper. Naturally you can only import widgets based on Zooper in Zooper Pro
Okay, this sucks. :/ Is there a way to have the statusbar transparent while using Themer? This is just one reason why I wanted to go back to Nova Launcher. The other one is that I often was thrown back to the Nova Desktop (with then corrupted UCCW-Icons) while using Themer AND closing or coming back from one app. Even if Themer is set to standard launcher.

Since this is no longer a Zooper issue and I don't really use Themer that much, you are probably better off taking this to the Themer subforum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/themer/general . The people there should be in a better position to help you then me
I am trying to change the calendar that opens when I tap a clock widget. I click to add a widget on my screen, choose "Zooper Widget Pro" and then a 1x1 widget. I then go back to the screen and tap the icon, choose "SD card", where I have the widget stored. I then change the "Widget OnTap Action" setting to the App I want (Google Calendar in this case). It is now listed on the settings page. I save the template with a new name, tap the "back" arrow to get back to my home screen. But when I tap the widget the old app opens. What am I doing wrong???
Thanks in advance.
Wrong thread
I absolutely cannot figure out how to get this to work. Can you give me a step by step procedure. I have a complicated clock that I don't want to build from scratch stored on my SD card. Might there be an issue with Android 5? Sorry for being so slow.
Wrong thread
Thank you so much! And thanks for your patience explaining to this old brain.
Hello,
I switched the task switcher from grid view to card view but it is missing the Google search box. Any idea how to make it show up?
Thx, Andreas
Is anyone else missing the search in card view, too?

It doesn't show up in card view. That's one difference between card and grid
But it should according to this stock Lollipop screenshot:
Search re-appered after I reboot. ?
