"Official" Beautiful Widgets Skinning Thread

Question for BW gurus out there…. Is there a way to change the setting for the time on the widget? It is currently as a shortcut to open the alarm and I would rather have it open to my calendar (calendar pad). Any suggestion would be appreciated!

If you click on the date it will take you to the calendar default app. I don't think there's a way to set it as a 3rd party calendar app.
 
Don't know what "de novo" is but I have a request....

I would still kill for a "Black Flipper" with no background in white. Ie.. a HTC white flip clock "naked" with the Droid clock font and without the giant space between the two flippers.

Anyone? Wanna make a "White Flipper"?? :biggrin:

I'm having a problem getting the skin to take effect.
I followed the detailed instructions, and even waited a couple of minutes to pass by but the "naked skin" which is installed on the SD card isn't showing up.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

After you download the skin it shows up under "Installed Skins." Then you have to tap on the skin you want and select "Apply." Then tap Save & Apply.

Thanks Sodner. I think I figured it out. I was under the impression that Naked Skin had that pyramid look but it's just a transparent skin apparently.. like the title implies... "naked".
 
I might just have to get this app with the skins. I'm assuming it runs just fine on a stock setup without causing much lag or anything? Thanks!
 
de novo? :icon_eek:

heh, sorry...I shouldn't post and edit at the same time late at night. Was thinking in science jargon. My intended meaning was, if anyone had any requests for something completely new (i.e., not a slight modification on someone else's work), like a different theme to try and match that hasn't been tackled before. I was thinking of doing one in the floating brushed aluminum style of this background I rendered a while ago, for instance:


As an aside, if anyone browsing the themes find that they really wish that the background of one existing theme had the font of another, mixing and matching on your own droid is really simple. Just download both themes and switch all the 'number_n.png' or 'background-x.png' files in the data-->BeautifulWidget-->skins folders. If you use the background from 'naked droid', for instance, you can knock out the background layer of any skin. The flip clocks are more difficult to mix-n-match because the flippers and background elements are both built into the background files, and the .png file format doesn't save layers.

This is a LONG thread so I'm just going to ask. Is there an HTC skin available? Like the original BW.

EDIT: Nevermind. Post #647 for anyone else looking.

Apologies if the answer is buried somewhere in the last 70 pages.

From looking at the various skins, I have an impression that only the color of the time digits can be changed; not those of the date or temperature. I prefer the naked/transparent skins but when I have a very light background on my phone the date and temperature virtually disappear with every skin I've examined.

Is this a limitation?

Unfortunately yes you can't change the font of everything else other than the time.

I love the naked themes it just sucks that the color of the font on the weather can't be changed from what I've saw. Unless I am missing something.

Nope your not missing anything just isn't support quite yet. I heard there a possibility of it becoming a a feature in the future though! But the dev is working on his twitter client heavily right now so not sure when it'll happen :)

Gotcha. I had to change my fav wall paper because I couldn't see the temp. I wish I could read binary cause I love that one.
