"Official" Beautiful Widgets Skinning Thread

Not that I would do this.... BUT is anyone who doesn't suck with Photoshop/Gimp able to take the clock background (ONLY the flipper part not the glass background) and invert the colors? I can't select it without doing it by hand.... I'm a complete noob with photo editing though.
 
awwwww........no wonder I couldn't find this. Thanks guys.

Update: Seeing as you can't get it for Beautiful Widgets, being trying to edit my own. Here is what I have done so far, but still got a ways to go. Have to fix the numbers from overlapping (Now Fixed), as well as do the landscape mode.

Looks great!

If you are making this skin in Photoshop or something similar and are willing to send me the files I can probably adapt it to BW for everyone here.


Any word on this? Ever since I first saw the original BW done up in clear glass I've been looking for this. thanks!

Hi Christim.

I haven't forgot, just been busy working on the HolyBlue theme rom.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/woodyman/38430-release-holy-blue-v-3-0-a.html

I got most everything done, but I need some help creating some higher res white numbers, the ones I have are just too jaggy. Seems like a easy fix, but each number has shading which I forgot how to do. If any one can help with that, it will insure it getting done. I plead for Help if anyone is willing.

Update: Just remember what I use to do, so now have some ideas on how to fix it. :)

Update: Tried some things I remembered and been having good progress. I'll work on it some more when I can, have to get me some sleep.

I still have the original bw. Would the clear for that be applied as a MM theme or some other method? And definitely having the same look for the skinned current BW would be really nice. Hopefully you find the assistance and no rush, thanks!
 
Help a brother out! I have been messing around with this app the entire day (my own personal use). I have ZERO programming experience. I was hoping I could just throw in the higher resolution/nicer weather icons from the ZeusDesire ROM. WELL I zipped it, with no compression and renamed it to an APK. Says error parsing file. I assume it is because I am an idiot and there is more to it then that.

Any help?

You mean "Weather & Toggle Widget"?? lol they changed the name. I have both and i like both but Beautiful Widgets is just much better built. In BW you don't have to download an add on for the animations and you don't have to have a specific program (OI File Manager) to install skins on the widget. The skinning is 10x easier on Beautiful Widgets. The program is just overall better than Weather & Toggle Widget.

Definately agree!! I have both too and stopped using W&TW after BW added skins. Best app in the market.
 
BW def. has a better build. it does everything w&t w does and more. plus i just cant wait for the surprise!!!!!!!
 
that skin above is looking very nice. unfortunately i've ordered my Incredible so i don't think i'll be using BW much longer, one of the BEST clock / weather apps I have ever used though. I'll miss it!
 
How do you go back to the default clear clock skin on Tw&w?

Go to the Clock Skin Downloader and look at the bottom for clock-glass and that should be it. Download it and install it and you should be good to go.


I would love to see the skin HolyGrail is working on for the updated BW also. That would probably be the skin i use lol.
