So in creating any of the Beautiful Widgets clock/ weather widgets it shows a customization for "Battery Skins" under Appearance tab. Does this appear for anyone when you go and dnld a batt skin and apply it? I'm on auto nooter (Froyo), wonder if it might not be supported on NC? Thanks to anyone who knows this issue but has found a way to get battery life to display i'd appreciate the assist.
(Also, i do not see a separate Beautiful Widgets battery widget item when i go to Add Item > Widgets on the Nookie. I'm not sure if its supposed to be a totally separate widget or is supposed to be combined, aka, show battery icon within the clock/ weather widget.)

Any of the Beautiful Super Clock options. At the scrolling part choose clock feature and choose battery instead. Took me some time to figure it out as well. Even though it was so obvious
Is it possible to have too many widgets on a screen? I have no clue what I'm talking about here, but this is what is wrong. I've got my homescreen set up with Desktop Visualizer 1x1 widgets for my Semi Sense icons. There's nine of them, then my Battery Monitor Pro Widget, my aTAKEphONE widget, and then four regular icons to various programs. Every once in awhile one of my icons (not the Desktop Visualizer widget icons), namely the XDA icon, becomes a normal XDA icon, no longer one of my Semi Sense icons. I have to restart LauncherPro to get it to show the normal Semi Sense icon. Now, my aTAKEphONE widget is going blank. This is since the latest update of the program. It's there, but nonfunctional, the only way I can get it back is to go into the widget settings and back out, it shows up again. Probably two different issues, andI'm working with the aTAKEphONE developer, but I'm kinda wondering.....
If you've got this far, this is what I was thinking, that somehow I'm running out of memory on my Samsung Captivate, and things are getting bumped out of display memory - is that at all possible? I'm pretty sure these are two separate issues, the program was updated and something was changed, but the XDA icon changing is an ongoing problem. I appreciate any thoughts, I'm trying to learn here as I futz around.
Of course now that I've called the doctor it's fine but if I can get a screen shot I'll post it here.

Might want to give a diff launcher a shot as it is not unheard of for LP to have issues when one page is loaded with widgets.
So I went ahead and got Go Launcher Ex. Is there anyway at all to remove the damn dock? Thanks!

do you mean the dock on the home screen?
I don't know how to actually remove it, but you could set the background to transparent and remove all icons.

goto prefrences, then select theme settings. select dock background , and select the option hide background.

you'll have that + + + + + label for adding another icons...
you COULD in theory create a blank PNG or jpeg or whatever.. save it in your gallery (or wherever.. )
Long press on one of the Plus signs.
Select "Replace"
Select "Custom Icon"
then select your blank png (blank.png attached to post
et voila
I have added a blank.zip to the post
just unzip the blank.zip and there will be a blank.png inside....copy to your phone..... find it in the gallery.. and i can confirm it works
example screeenshot of it in action
(i have left dock background in place just to prove it is working,, but easy to disable)
show/hide dockbar
if you dont need the whole dockbar on your homescreens you can also configure to show or hide it with a gesture.
go to "settings" -> "function-settings" -> "buttons and gestures" -> "action for wiping down" -> "show/hide dockbar"
(i hope this are the names of the menus in english because i have the german version)
now when you wipe your finger down on any homescreen the dockbar shows or hides itself.
thats the settings i prefer but do as you like!

Hello, is there any way to remove dock and use its space for widgets?

No you can't.
1. Wrong section
2. Dumb question
3. Lazy user
when you tap the + icon, some options pop up where you can select "blank" and + icon will disappear

This is the best way. However the homescreen real estate is not expanded to reach the bottom of the screen, unlike most other launchers. For this reason I switching back to ADW, although Go's transition fx are amazing
Bit of a bump here, can i not replace the dock with say Arrow Dock? It's completely different so is it possible?
This is arrowdock:

Actually you can.
Set glide action to hide dock bar, return to home screen and 'glide to hide',reset glide action to whatever. Now when home, no dock bar. Voila!

wrong section yes but not a stupid question nor a lazy user. its an option in adw that i wish go launcher had. i would switch to adw for this option alone but i'm having other more serious issue with adw. the point of this is to use the space so my widget extends to the bottom of the screen. it just looks a lot cleaner instead of empty space at the bottom where the dock would be.

I think the earlier question was removing the dock bar and using the real estate to place widgets, which you really can't. Hiding the dock bar? Yes of course. Using the space for widgets? No can do.

You can use the space for widgets, the trick is that you have to go to a larger grid size, place the widget at the bottom, and then change the grid size to be one notch smaller.
I did this so that my twitter widget is stretched to the very end of the screen, and the same thing for the jorte calendar on another screen.
It's easy
Using the additional screen area at the bottom can be done, but only for resizable items (widgets). Here's how. Increase your vertical grid capacity by one. I run a 5x4, so I would switch to a 6x4. Use a gesture feature to hide the dock bar. Any widget that was on the bottom of your previous grid will now be one row up from the bottom. RESIZE the widget to occupy the bottom row (do not move it). For a 1x1widget, you would be turning it into a 2x1 widget. Now, go back into your preferences ---> screen settings. Revert back to your original grid layout and return to your home screen. The bottom widgets should occupy the full lower area.
There are three problems with doing this.
1) Any time you show the dock bar, the widgets will not adjust, meaning that the dock will cover part of the widget(s).
2) If you long press any of the lower widgets, it will detect the missing grid row and relocate the widget. In the event this happens, you must repeat the process all over again. This means no moving or resizing widgets once they're in place.
3) The spacing between the lower widgets and anything directly above them is increased due to the widget occupying a larger vertical area. This creates a less uniform look. Note that this only applies to widgets that do not stretch when resized (fixed widget size).
How this helps.
This thread is awesome, now I can finally make some MIUI like interface.
So I have been using Next Launcher for three years. I love themes and creating my own UI. I hide docs and create themes that are almost completely free of standard icons. To do this I use Zooper Widget 4x4 (or any other that I extend from top to bottom and side to side. I fill the entire screen and as I said even hide the dock as well as the status bar. Well the other day as I was working on an existing one the 4x4 widget (largest widget available) stopped filling the screen. Even when I go to resize, it will not allow me to completely fill the screen.
I have tried the following to fix:
Reboot (sim card removed)
Uninstalled Next Launcher (and zooper) then re installed.
Tried other launchers (they all fixed the problem however I need Next as it is the only launcher I am aware of that allows you to literally place icons anywhere with ZERO grid). I even used Next Light and again, the problem was gone. Problem here, after the trial period you can no longer "hide Dock".
I am certain it is a Next Launcher issue but have yet to fix it. Im wondering...
Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any ideas and or does anyone know of any other launchers with the same freedoms?
Attached is a photo of my latest UI as an example as to why I need complete icon placement freedom as well as no boarders.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This section is for Themer-related queries only, sorry about that
On my old (now dead) S3 I used to run this widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sanels.tempcpuv2&hl=en
however, since the S5 runs on 4.4.+ this widget doesn't work anymore.
Does anyone know of any good replacement widgets? Preferably one that is also a 1x1 widget.
I haven't seen any other apps that display all three datums in a 1x1 icon. But an extended search may locate such an app. Ten quality minutes with Google should answer that. For that matter, you may wish to contact the author of your old app and see if he will update it to work with your current phone?
Alternatives? Elixir widgets is very good. Certainly a 1x1 widget for any one parameter. I'm just not aware of the app being able to put three items into a 1x1 widget. Personally, I like to have these items in the status bar. And to that end have two icons display these three items. An xposed module to display the CPU temperature. And the Cool tool app to display processor load /RAM as a second icon.

Having it on the status bar is perfect! Great suggestion, thanks!
