"Official" Beautiful Widgets Skinning Thread

Now I don't know how to make skins so please don't be offended but why hasn't anyone made a different transparent one like the naked skin?

I have the naked one now and although I've downloaded almost all the other ones too, I don't see myself every using anything but the naked one becasue of the transparent style, I like seeing as much of my wallpaper as possible.

You would beed to more specific about what you want.. BUT with a transparent skin the only thing left to play around with is the clock digits.

If you want to have some fun copy the 6 files from NakedDroid with "background" in the file name into other Skin folders with fonts that you think would look good transparent. If you don't like the result you can redownload the original skin to get it back the way it was.

I will say that JonKyu's Carbon Fiber "Alloy" Clock digits look fantastic "Naked" :-)

Naked Droid, is still by far my favorite! With the right nature background, it looks like the clouds, sun, moon, etc are in the picture!!! The other skins look great, but I can't stop switching back to naked droid! :)

I have two up for download now that are transparent. Left-4-Dead and the new Slasher one (Similar but different fonts).

I am currently working on another that is not transparent but I can always make one upon request if you have an idea what you want it to look like, let me know.

Perhaps on like the Droid Flip clock one, the "shadowed grey/black" area could instead be transparent.

I'll go make a version with more transparency (I'm the one that made it)

Ok peeps lol I was going to save this as I wanted to fix the background up but since so many of you wanted more transparent backgrounds. I think I have a pretty interesting solution to maximize wallpaper viewing pleasure lol!! Stay tuned... :D
 
one thing i think would be nice is if it defaulted to the already downloaded skins instead of the ones available for download in the settings. it would probably make it a lot faster to change your skin.

Easy, when you go to the skins page and it starts downloading from the server press the back key one time and it will stop and you can then select the installed skins.

X2 I just just about to type the same thing, I didn't know how many new skins had been added until I let it load. Tama has added a LOT of new skins since the skinable BW has been available

Is there a way to delete skins you have downloaded and no longer want?

I went crazy and downloaded all of them a few days ago.

EDIT: Nevermind Astro to the rescuew.

Had the same issue, would be nice to add a delete option (long press the skin) in the installed skins area, but for now file managers work ^^

FYI, I try to keep a daily updated count of skins on the BW server in Post 1 of this thread
