"Official" Beautiful Widgets Skinning Thread

Hey Tama! I love Beautiful Widgets. The animations are so much more fluid and sleek than Fancy Widget, but Fancy Widget does have something that Beautiful Widgets does not: sunrise and sunset in the forecast. Can you add this please?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks a lot Tama. :]

Something I've noticed:
Beautiful Widgets says:
Sunrise: 5:08
Sunset: 4:15

Whereas Fancy Widget says:
Sunrise: 7:10
Sunset: 5:41

Why the difference?
 
BLACK Theme

Hey Everyone and thanks for building such a cool app.

I just bought a smartphone a few weeks ago and I'm having fun skinning. I thought I'd go ahead and post the theme I'm working on.

Custom Beautiful Widget
Custom Wallpaper
Custom Dock (Launcher Pro)
Tweaked Icons

Thanks!

Problem getting background to show???

Tama,

I am able to test out my current design on my phone (Super clock) however the background design I have made does not show up at all. I have played with the transparecy settings both on and off in BW, and also I have even converted my image to a .9.png (only after it would not work as a regular png) thinking this may be the cause. There is something I am obviously missing here. Any help would be appreciated, being I have a pretty nice theme I would like to submit but there is something definitely buggy with the backgrounds on the new superclocks that I cannot figure out.

If this helps,

I am using the templates of course from your site for the superclock. All other graphics I have made work on my test clock but the background. I am testing on my nexus one, I have the most recent copy of BW installed on my phone, and I am using adobe photoshop to design the graphics with the background being exported as a 24bit png.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
 
Problem with background.psd for superclock

The background.psd doesn't work.
If I save it as a .png without modifying it and use it it won't show.

Edit: Cheated by opening the Gingerbread background.png and adding only the edited part.
Not the black pixels outside the image but the inside.
Maybe I'll make a real one and not a testing one to learn how.

Hello everyone,

The problem I'm having is that I dont understand the difference between the "Beautiful Home Weather widget" and the "Beautiful Super Clock 4x2 widget". Because from what I can tell, they both perform the same thing, except that you get tons more skins if you choose Beautiful Home Weather.

I will try and explain:

Long press on the screen and select widgets, then Beautiful widgets, and then "Beautiful Home Weather"( See Pic 1 ), next make whatever adjustments and select "Save & Apply".

Then goto "App Drawer", where all app icons are( See Pic 2 ) and select Beautiful Widget icon. Next, select "Home Skins"( See Pic 3 ). From here, select "Download Skins"( See Pic 4 ) and you will see a very BIG list of skins to choose.

Now select "Installed Skins" and find the skin you just downloaded and click it to apply. Then, hit the back menu button...two times. The skin is now displayed.

** Here is the part I dont understand **

If you go back to the Beautiful Widget icon and select "Super Clock Settings"( See Pic 3), then select "Appearance", and then select "Super Clock Skins"( See Pic 5) and finally select "Download Skins"( See Pic 6 ). You will notice a much smaller list of skins to choose. Also if you try and apply the skin it will not work.



So, can someone please explain the difference.


Thanks in advance,
BK


PS: Sorry no pic 6 cause this forum would not allow 6 uploads
