I have searched all over the web, and have not come up with results I am looking for. I am looking for a wallpaper that will make the standard TF3D wallpaper look like the hero/ TF3D2.6 clock. I am actually using S2U2 with the Hero Theme, however that wallpaper does not look right. if anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Well as far as having the 2.6 clock with the integrated weather that's not available ATM but! Here's a link to a panoramic Hero wallpaper http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4330384&postcount=14
And a link to 2.6 icon set for the slider: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547029
Best things available right now without actually switching to a different shell like MS3 and getting a layout like this: http://pocketnow.com/software-1/get-sense-ui-on-windows-mobile
MS3 is very nice and while I've tried this layout and it works well, its at the cost of battery life, that's already not so great on my TP.
Hope this helps bro

I have a Sprint Pro and I have had the Flip Clock for a while now. ( Had it on my Touch when I wanted it to be a diamond). I really kinda like these clocks that are smaller digital clocks with an Analog clock as well like the one below. However its driving me insane that I cant this to work...any help would be awesome guys.

says its for tf2d not tf3d??
Thats not the problem at all. The forum is in the Diamond thread, and its located in a TF3D forum. TF2D works on VGA Screens...I get it to work...i just losse the wallpapers on the rest of the phone...Just like everyother Analog clock I try and use! Any one else have any ideas?
Check out the first post on this thread and see what it has to say. I believe you need to install a cab to get the analog clock to work and keep the wallpaper on all tabs.

Hey guys. I'm running Aloysius V12 and have been using Beautiful Widgets. Love the look and it's fairly reliable as far as the time/date/weather go, but whenever I plug my phone into the computer, the style reverts to stock. I am very particular about the way it looks, because the way I have it now looks quite good with my wallpaper, but when it reverts, it doesn't match up well. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things since I just have to restart the widget, but curious to see if anyone knows why the USB plug-in would make any difference. I have had this issue on BW 2.998 and 2.999. As a side note, does anyone know how to change the date font? Changing the clock font has no bearing on it, and neither do weather skins. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful widgets says, in its own documentation, that it doesn't work with SenseUI.
This is partially true. It works, sometimes, and for a while. my buddy has a small widget on his home screen that he has no troubles with, but I've used the brightness widget, a home screen one, and others.
I've had Sense randomly force close on me (MANY MANY times), when tapping the widget (or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all - presumably when the widget updates), and so on and so forth.
They 'Work', but they aren't reliable, that I've seen. I haven't used them since like 2.7 or so.
That's odd that the font changes when plugging it in.
I've been to their site a couple of times, but guess I didn't run across that. I asked this same question on android forums and the response had to deal with BW skins are saved on the sd card and once it is plugged in, then it doesn't have access to them anymore. I'm not sure if this is the exact reason, but makes as much sense as anything else I've thought of. Too bad it's not more reliable because the only competition that I have seen is Weather Widget donate. I don't have anything particularly against that one, but just can't customize it get the look I am going for...
Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

Hey,
I'm looking for photo icons (2x1, 3x1, 2x1, 1x2, ...) to use with desktop visualizer. I have so far found these two only (and a few that I seemed to have roaming my PC):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783946
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9139570#post9139570
But I would like some more as I don't fully like them and want to see more.
I'd prefer icons with text on them, but I don't have photoshop to do it myself (let alone that I can work with it).
If anybody has a link to a set, that would be greatly appreciated. I googled but I could not find any, perhaps I am using the wrong key words?
Cheers!
There are a few more here;

Thanks a lot Those look great. Sadly the text is a bit blurred from resizing it to wildfire size.
I might give making them myself a shot. Does anybody know the optimal resolution for 3x1 and 2x1 wildfire icons? (so that there would be a small space between nearby icons)
Anybody that can tell me the resolutions? I would think just 3/4 the wildfire width resolution, but perhaps there is a standard for these kinds of things that I don't know (with desktop visualiser etc)
Cheers
So, I've seen that there are a few nice widgets that allow you some control over the design of the widgets. BITS is very very customizable, Zoom looks amazing, so does Widgetsoid, and Beautiful Widgets are indeed beautiful.
I'm looking for one that allows a specific thing, though, and I'd rather not go through what I did with Beautiful Widgets (installing it, being very disappointed, uninstalling, finding I'm just a few minutes beyond the refund time period, emailing the very-helpful developer and asking for a refund anyway, and they're very nice people by the way).
Also, please be understanding; I've had a migraine coming and going for a week and a half, and I'm trying my best to distract myself from it. So this info is probably available but I just can't *find* it. I can't manage to brain properly, I just can't. Please excuse the rambling...
So. I like the size and look of the HTC Sense clock on my Sensation--the one that takes up half the screen but is very large and has nice contrast--and also the location/temperature/high-low predictions on it. I *love* the BITS ability to stick anything anywhere in the widget, and to have an app or shortcut launch from the anything.
Is there a design-your-own-widget that is as pretty as the Sense clock, with the same location/weather info, but will let me stick battery indicator and shortcuts all over it? And make, say, the location launch Maps, and the date launch my calendar, and so on? It doesn't look like I can manage that with Widgetsoid or BITS, Beautiful Widgets won't let me show all the info I want to show at the same time, and Zoom is just plain intimidating. I'm sure there are more make-your-own-widgets but these are the ones I've found so far.
Is this out there? Can it be done?
Thank you!

I would recommend Minimalistic Text. I'm not sure it will do *exactly* what you're asking it terms of design (but the possibilities are truly endless). There's a slight learning curve if you've never used anything like it, but once you get it figured out... you're likely to never look back.
Also, it's been a while since I've used it, but have you tried Fancy Widget? Back in the day it was a mirror image of the Sense flip clock, but it's come a long way... it was pretty customizable last I checked. Both apps have a free and paid version in the Market. Good luck.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Well, hey, I didn't know that was what Fancy Widgets was That looks like it *almost* can manage everything I want. So very close, terrific! It only has fixed info it can display, but it can start any application I want from the info it does have.
I've edited one of the backgrounds to stick icons next to the places where I've selected them to start, and that'll do for now. Thank you so much!
Minimalistic text definitely didn't agree with the on-again-off-again migraine, though Maybe I'll futz with it again some other time. I'd really like a pretty 4x2 clock that also has actual shortcuts with relevant icons embedded in it.
I wish the battery indicator on Fancy Widgets stood out a little more, even were just a different color of text. I wonder if that's possible.
