"Official" Beautiful Widgets Skinning Thread

question, why wont the themes aply to the small home? the skins I install go to the big home but not teh small home. any advice on that?
 
First off, awesome work! Secondly, does anyone know the theme that JonKyu has in his screenshots of CarbonFibre? I really like the look, especially the icons. I'm assuming it's also rooted but I could be wrong. I've searched but have been unable to find anything. Thanks in advance if anyone happens to know!

Search for his posts in this thread and you will find the info.

Click on "Search this Thread" at the top of this thread page, click advanced, then input JonKyu in the user name field and click Search now.

Thanks. I tried that but was unsuccessful. I found the themes for the Beautiful Widgets (which I installed) but wanted the theme he's using for the rest of the phone.

I'll search again. Perhaps I misspelled something.

Just send him a PM and ask him directly.

Once you get you answer please go back and edit your posts and delete them so we can keep this thread purely about Skinning Beautiful WIdgets. This will make it easier for others looking for BW sKin info.

Thanks in advance,

Do you have a small home AND a normal home both running at the same time? If so, maybe that is the issue? Have you tried going to the small home and changing it separately? I've never run two at once.

Edit: actually I just added a big home and small home at once and when I change the skin on EITHER of them, they both change. So I'm not sure why yours is acting weird...

It also may depend on if the skin maker did a smaller home version. For example I noted in my GT3-RS skin that there was not a Smaller Home version and that it would be just naked.

BTW, you can run as many BW widgets as your screens have room for , many times for testing and screen captures I have ran as many as 4 or 5 at a time with a mixture of Normal and smaller homes
 
Ah, good point! I assumed that everyone who submitted skins did both versions. Bad assumption lol.

Depends on how lazy the skin maker is OR if for example you can't get something with a "real photo" to look right on a smaller home (GT3-RS is an example of that :-)

Ah I see. I tried making a skin when the new BW first came out and it was fugly. I'll try again eventually but for now I'll just enjoy all the other pretty ones, even if they only work on the big Home :-P glad you aren't banned here too LOLLL
 
Here is request that is backwards from most I've seen. I came across the http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/4938-custom-wallpapers-just-ask.html thread and discovered the wallpaper collection here yesterday. That led me to creating my own custom wallpaper which I just added to the collection.

Here's the challenge: what would be a good skin to go with this wallpaper or can someone custom make one that would be fitting?

From the TV show/movie Firefly/Serenity :
Firefly in Space - Droid Wallpapers, Droid Gallery

I'm thinking of lowering the ship just a tad, as I think that will clear two solid rows up top for a widget.

I have no idea how to replace an image I've upload previously. The above one is in the movie gallery. Upon finding other Firefly wallpapers in the TV section I posted an updated copy where the ship placement is lower so it doesn't block icon rows 1, 2, and 4 on the desktop. I added a comment on the above one to the below one. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

nice, i like that font

Yeah I think this one is my new favorite. Looks good on lighter and darker backgrounds. I tried it out on a few of mine.

Strip it naked because that font would look killer on a light or dark wallpaper.[/B]

And that is plenty good enough to submit. Go for it.

Here you go, best name I could come up with is "NakedGaremlin" :-)

The Ford GT font is a little "short", will work on a better proportioned font (so it will be larger) with the same effects and post it latter.

OK, here is the version with the normal proportionedly sized (taller) font. "NakedGaremlin2".

Need opinions if I should replace NakedGaremlin with this version(so there is only 1) or have both versions with the smaller(NakedGaremlin) and taller(NakedGaremlin2) clock numbers.

BTW, the white outline is brighter on the phone than in this screen cap.

Let me know your thoughts.
