Clock + weather

I LOVE Beautiful Widgets. It is a skinnable weather/clock widget with other widgets also like Bluetooth on/off, WiFi on/off and Vibrate on/off etc... This list continues and it has a good dev that does updates to make it better and such!
There is...
Once you select Menu > Add > Widgets the last option is Weather + Large Flip Clock. Here is what it looks like on my home screen:
Is that on a Droid, or an HTC device? I had an HTC Imagio and their clock/weather widget looked exactly like that. I loved it, but I haven't seen it on the Droid. If I could get that, I'd pay for it.

You can get that exact HTC style widget using Weather Widget -Donate and then downloading the h7c skin within it's skin downloader.
Or in Beautiful Widgets you can get one that is very similar, but with the weather icon to the right instead of center. Search for the Beautiful Widgets skinning thread and blue rocket has posted 2 or 3 versions of the HTC skin that you can download and install into your SD. very easy, no rooted required.
Weather not finding locations
I have the 2.1 UI for my incredible, and the beautiful weather clock widget was working perfectly. Then I went on a business trip to another city, and it wouldnt show the weather for that city. I've been noticing it will find the weather via your locations for some cities and not others. Anybody have any idea why this may be happening?

You must have a magnet nearby. That is the clock the Droid switches to when put into the home dock (it has a polarized magnet which does the switching). Try downloading DockRunner. It will let you start the clock without using a magnet.

There was a problem with Google Weather which Beautiful Widgets currently uses, but that was fixed. The dev has also said he is working on a more reliable source of weather information. Beautiful Widgets is one of the best apps from one of the best devs. I highly recommend it (and Beautiful Widgets Live Wallpaper).

I'm a big weather nut and have looked all over for a decent thermometer widget and or application. Two of the simplest and best ones I have found are:
Widget--Thermometer Widget by Johann Walles. Updates the temperature for your location every 30 mins. then displays on your home screen.
App--Thermometer(Free) by Xiaad.com. I have liked this one better because I like the up to the minute temperature update down to a tenth of a degree. I've emailed the developer to see where the app pulls its data. All he told me is that it's pulled from a variety of sources. I'm guessing it may pull it from different weather stations in addition to airport observation points like this site: MADIS Surface Data Display The only drawback is that you have to press the app icon on your home screen for it to get you the info. It's nice and simple, though, in that it looks up your location and then gives you the temp for your spot. I've seen the observations change quite a bit when starting the app repeatedly in a short period of time.
I truly hate the clock/weather widget that came w/ my Incredible at the top of my home screen. I have changed the settings to update hourly and it never does it that often. I have found the Weather Channel & Weather Bug widgets not updating as often as I like, also.
It sure would be nice to find a Thermometer widget that truly updated every 15 mins. Most weather observations are updated that often or at least 3 times an hour.

It's a preinstalled widget that is called analog clock. Once you choose it scroll to the right to find the size that you want, I believe there are 12 different choices and styles.

I use an app called World Weather Clock Widget. The widget is really small, icon size, and you can have weather or time & weather. The widget shows current weather with a cute little sky condition, temperature, rain percentage, and date and/or time. Click on the widget and you get today's current and forecast and 4 days extended forecast weather.
I use this widget on a side screen. The main home screen had that widget that makes the clock look like it's sitting on a shelf, 3D Digital Weather. This one can even do system information along with current and forecast weather, moon times, sky conditions
