The guys over at Levelup Studios pointed me to this forum when i requested a custom skin. It's pretty simple if someone would be willing to do it.
Font: avquest, font used in the game Diablo. I'll attach it to this message.
3D effect: Maybe a shadow effect, something so it doesn't look like 2D font if possible.
Background: doesn't matter because i make all of them transparent.
Also, is it possible to change the font for the weather, date, time etc? It seems like every font pack only changes the clock.

I tried to find it but didn't see it, do you have to unzip the files before the skins from here are seen? I didn't see them after I downloaded them.
It has an incorrect file name, number_3crush.png , go to the skin folder and rename it to number_3.png and it will work.
Yeah I was editing my post right as you posted it.
My question might be for the Beautiful Widgets Developer but I will start here and see if anyone has had any success. I really like the Beautiful weather/clock widget and how it's able to be skin'd and customized. I really do not like all of the other "toggle" widgets that end up in my "widgets file" I still have the stock 2.0 Power Control Widget which has yet to be beat. I have pulled out a few .apk files like myspace and removed the widgets, pushed it back in and now have the app without all of the extra widgets. This beautiful widgets has about ten that I will never use but inside of the .apk I cannot seem to find these "extra" widgets to remove them. I am wondering if anyone has had any success in this or if the DEV is reading, if you could add an option to keep the widgets you want upon instalation and be able to discard the rest.

+1 on that!! I wish all DEVs understood that we don't want 10+ lists of crap when we just want to find that one widget.
CalWidget is the only dev that has provided an option to hide what you don't use.
What I did was use Astro file manager. Downloaded the .zip file on my phone, opened it and copied the "HTCSense" folder to the data\beautifulwidgets\skins folder. I'm not sure if this is the standard way of manually installing skins or not, but its working nicely for me. Love this skin.
Hi,
I have been trying to get Beautiful Widgets forever...my bank blocks foreign purchases, even after I spoke to them and they said they would remove the block for one week...it still wouldn't let me buy anything not in $'s. So, my question is, does anyone know if the developer has a site where they accept paypal payments or other payment types? I have purchased some different apps via paypal and the dev sent me the dl link...but I haven't seen anything like that for BW..any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks...I should have mentioned that I tried that, but haven't heard back yet.
