"Official" Beautiful Widgets Skinning Thread

EDIT: Somethings wrong with my file host, I think they're doing maintenance or something :( should be back up soon!

Ok, lol here's my latest: Binary Blue. Dedicated to your inner geek! (matches pretty nicely with Smoked Glass ROM with blue) [Download at the bottom]

I was in the process of making a background, since some of you are requesting a transparent background I figured I'd try this out as such. It ended up looking pretty cool!. Fastest skin I've made haha lol, all thanks to the transparent backgrounds. Not sure if you all will enjoy it but hope it appeals to some lol

*Note- the little circular dot at the left lights up during PM and fades out in AM. 24hr is a bit truer to the Binary clock formatting but I think 12hr works just fine and has one less bar lol. I had to adapt to fit BW mechanics.
^ agreed, i hate the loading every time...

Agreed +10, Even though I do the "back button work around" I think it's much faster to test skins if it defaulted to the installed first :( I hope Tama considers this.

two more i made...

obviously this one can't be released...it's personal use only:

and another version of my CobaltDreams skin...

Are you going to post the zip files to share with everyone? Especially the HTC style since it probably won't end up on the BW skin server?

Or, are you just going to be a "teaser" :-)

Thanks in advance!

::cough:: what could this file be? SenseUI.zip ::cough, cough::

This is probably asking too much, but anyway we could get that SenseUI without the background? Like the way you did BlackFlipper?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

I noticed yesterday that some "skinners" are forgetting the ".nomedia" file in the folder. Don't forget this, else the numbers show up in the gallery. Easy fix with Astro, but I thought I'd mention it as a reminder.

When you see some that do that please post the skin names here so we (and BW) can correct them. There were about 3 that were like this in the beginning but I haven't heard of any more until now.
 
this is off topic..but this is a remarkable thread. All you guys doing these fantastic skins deserve a big thank-you. So THANK-YOU to all the contributors you are ALL doing some fantastic work.

Don't want to jack your thread 928Droid but you all deserve some appreciation.

^ LMAO!!! you got me cracking up!

I really like the SenseUI style, is there any way to make it without a Background though? Like you did BlackFlipper? Or can I just replace the "background" ,"background-land", and "background-land-wide" files with some that don't have the BG?

thanks

here is what you do, copy the numbers from SenseUI and copy the backgrounds from Naked and put those in a new Folder called nakedSense then you have you own custom skin

Yeah I already tried that and it looks weird, but it's cool to mix and match like that. What I did was just copy all the numbers from senseUI and replace them in the nakedDroid folder.

It doesn't work cause the naked droid doesn't have the white flip background like the senseUI. I wanted it like BlackFlipper where there's just no line at the bottom below the weather and temp. Basically just to show more wall paper (and none of that transparent shading) besides what has to be blocked by the flippers and weather stuff.
