Found Zooper last night, and after a day of fiddling rather than doing work I have come up with the following.
The outer circle is the current hour, second is the current minute.
The quarter arc top left is battery level, top right is current CPU usage
Bottom arc is Network Connection Strength
The time at the bottom left is + days.hours.minutes until the next alarm
The weather icon center is current weather, the right one is tomorrows weather.
The left and right arrows are back and forward for the media.
The album art doubles as a play/pause button.
I would appreciate comments and suggestions.
Personally, I don't understand why you have the second clock in the center.
If you remove the second clock in the middle, you can use the resulting space to incorporate the media part without having a separate piece for it.
Move the day of the week with date over to the red arc. Then reduce the top left and right arcs until they match with the ones on the bottom (red lines). Move the entire media part into the center and then figure out the song and artist text positioning.
Just my opinion. I like the layout. Not a huge fan of yellow, my choice would be a pale blue or cyan.

This clock is based on Led Clock by David Horn posted on here some time ago. The principle of the clock is minimalism. The left column represents the hous, the next five columns represent minutes and the final column represents groups of five seconds (if you choose the 'show seconds' option). The hours increment upwards, the minutes increment leftwards then upwards and the seconds increment upwards. I have taken David’s original clock idea and bolted on lots of user options purely as an exercise to get up to speed programming for the compact framework.
Features
=======
Set individual colours for many elements such as hour leds, minute leds, second leds, frame, font and background.
Draw rectangular or round leds
Show / Hide seconds
Show digits on hours, minutes, seconds
Change led size – small, medium, large.
Imaging:
Load image as foreground, the image gets drawn piece by piece like a jigsaw as another led gets added to the clock. Watch your image build up on screen as the hour goes by. Alternatively you can set the image as a background image and the clock gets drawn on top.
Image Folders:
You can also specify a folder of images and set the rotation frequency to minute, hour or day. The current image behaves as above and gets rotated so you can have a new image loaded every day, or hour etc.
I am using GDI to draw the clock but it is heavily optimized. The thread only runs every 5 secs or every 60 secs if you choose not to show seconds. The drawing itself only draws what is absolutely necessary at any time. So if we are not refreshing / painting the form, usually we are only drawing a single led therefore this should be light on resources. As evidence of this, consider the fact that I am not using double buffering anywhere and yet the redrawing is always flicker free and stable.
I wrote this clock as a Touch HD owner but tested it on several of the mobile images. It should run on any Windows Mobile device and on most screen resolutions from version 5 upwards. It currently uses .Net 3.5 but I can port it back to 2.0 if required as all the code is legacy written and I am using no libraries from the newer framework. I’d appreciate any reasonable feedback.

Surely this should've been posted in the themes, apps and software section?
MOD EDIT
Moved to themes, apps and software forum
oops, sorry about that.
1. I have locked my secure element through the Google Wallet stuff.
2. There is a dark spot on my screen, it's hardly unless it's behind a light, solid color background, but this little circle on the screen is still.... there. The attached image is a picture of it. It's not too clear in the picture, but it's very noticeable when browsing the web or facebook and such. it's that little darker patch in the direct center of that circle, it's perfectly in-between lines.
Should I go with the hassle of swapping it for a new one?
Hi
Has anyone else had problems with the size of the widgets on the m8? Some of the are fine, but others have a lot of dead space around the widget, which means you can't use all the screen.
A good example of this is the FitBit widget. It won't even let me resize, despite having a border. I can slide the edges in but they jump back out again as soon as I take my finger off.
I have a widget for a trains app, which in terms of the actual widget, takes up 4x2 spaces. However, on the widget menu, it states 4x3. That extra row is just dead space, so I have a small-ish widget at the top of my screen and only room for one more line of apps right at the bottom. Loads of unusable space in the middle of the screen.
It was fine on my Samsung S3.
Any ideas?
I am trying to create an old school weather center with temperature, Humidity, and Pressure. I can make hands using a progress bar by setting the main and secondary colors clear and setting the gradent to highlight current. I dont like the reverse wedge shape though. What I need are the conditionals for using a rectangle as hands. I need the complete conditionals for a 360 degree sweep for each one, and what to change for different sweeps. Example: I want my humidity to sweep 300 degrees, starting at - 30 degrees. Also. I hear of a way to make bitmap images sweep with progress bar. This may help more as i can use fancy instrument needles for indicators.
Wrong thread
So. Long story short because of the lack of cassette widgets and such with functionalities with Spotify. (Media Utilities didnt fix the only cassette app to work for me sadly)
I've basically a cassette widget with the spotify widget itself over the top to make it seem like it's the top of the cassette (if that makes sense? Meh specifics!)
Ideally what I wanted to do was have the spinners in the middle (which are on a seperate bitmap than the cassette tape itself) to slowly rotate if (Media Utilities detects spotify playing). I've ran some tests and it does understand when spotify plays and stops as it does indeed rotate. Which alone is fantastic, however. I can't seem to get it to repeat the command, it does it once, and then the spinners don't move. I'm unsure if there is a repeat command in Zooper? Or I need some fancy equation to do so. But my code thus far is as follows
Code:
$#MU_CURR_PACKAGE#=1[r]4[/r]$
If anyone could take a quick peek I'd be very greatful, thank you!
You could play around with some progress bars. I would make three of them, setting each of them up to be 120 degrees difference, so that all three together would look like a 3 sided star. then set the width and heights so they don't touch in the middle. Then take two rectangles and round them out. Place one in the center and one on the outside edge of the 3 progress bars. Next, put this variable in the "edit progress min/max/value" section of your progress bars... #TMU_TRACK_PERC# with min being 0 and max at 100. you will now have a 3 spoked cassette wheel.
