Okay, this is frustrating me! I have looked through out this forum and many others trying to find some kind of software that would allow one to change the default HTC clock widget. Back in my Windows Mobile days, there was software that allowed me to do such a thing! Sometimes just replace a few files here and there and bam, you got yourself a new clock with weather animations, etc. So WTF is up this Android? Yes I know some of you will tell me to go get some other widget like Beautiful Widgets or maybe even Fancy Widgets, but I don't like either! I really want a full or near full transparent clock with weather. So pretty much take the stock clock and make the background behind the digital numbers transparent so you can see more of your wallpaper! Would be nice if there was some transparent setting you could set for the default clock! Anyhow, this is what I kinda want!

Now I know this can be done! Semi transparent, but the numbers still have color behind them!
This is from a Windows Mobile setup, but this is pretty much what I am asking for!

Screenshot?
The screen shot shows up by viewing it on the computer
No, it actually doesn't show up when viewing it on a computer. Just a red X.
updated with screen shot
can you see it now?
Yeah it's visible now.
Eerily similar to Beautiful Widgets.... which, let's be honest, started out looking exactly like SenseUI, but has evolved a bit from there.
I like it thanks man

Is the clock flip animated when the time changes?

Thanks for sharing, dling now.
It's pretty nice I must say. Although it is quite simliar to Beautiful widgets. Simple and to the point and very clean.
Thanks for sharing.
thank u so much, it looks great!
There's already a few of these on the Android Market. You want to differentiate your app; add the flip clock animation a la' HTC Sense.

first off theres only one on the market that looks this close and thats weather toggle widgets... second that app is a lot more heavy than this! i love how i can make the weather icon bring me DIRECTLY to animated weather app! Third a custom animation is VERY dependant on the launcher! ONLY the OLD JACXHERO roms for g1 and NEW SENSE 2.2 roms have the real "flip clock". also better alarm in market has a "flip clock" animation in app and Home++ launcher has flip clock widgets!
This is by far the most light weight "ALMOST PERFECT" sense style flip clock ive seen though... wierd you can still "bump" the market link to people ;-)
Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Anybody got any awesome icons I've been looking around I have really found an icon sharing page
V5 custom vibrant
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/ has quite a few. However, most of them are monochromatic, for LauncherPro, but an app they offer allows you to get user-defined color versions of everything they have on the site. (change icon color/drop shadow color)
That's cool but I was thinking more custom user made I did however find an awesome transparent xda icon there
V5 custom vibrant
Just do a Google search for free icons any.png or.ico file works. You'll findliterally hundreds of icons to use. I use better cut and change my whole theme withy mood.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Have anything in mind?
I'm growing a bit bored with my icons... have anything in mind? I wouldn't mind knocking out 5-15 custom icons for the dock...
Also...
http://findicons.com Is a pretty decent site... a lot of stuff for use on PC/Mac, but quite a bit of phone stuff too...
I like the clear kind of icon but really would like some super hero clear icons not sure if I'm being descriptive enough
V5 custom vibrant
Clear?
When you refer to "clear", do you mean transparent backgrounds or monochromatic semi-transparent? Also, are we talking the logos, the hero portraits or both? Lastly, are you looking for Marvel? D.C.? or more obscure publishers?

I was just thinking last night about changing my icons to fit better with the black froyo theme...
you guys should check the android theme section, not just for the vibrant.

I use LauncherPro, but also use these icons when I use a native Android shorcut... any PNG should work really...
Also, I decided to slap all the icons I've created (not just superheroes) into a zip if anyone is interested (attached).
Unfortunately guys this isn't a flashable theme.
I have been messing around with the Honeycomb look for the last week.
I've had some requests to share how I achieved the look so here goes.
Some of these are going to be paid apps, but lets support our devs!
First up screenies and there's a bunch

}
First up you're going to need Launcerpro plus. Once you have paid for it go to Signals23's thread and download his Honeycomb theme here. That will get you the messaging, agenda, bookmarks, Friends, etc...widgets. You will want to set up 5 columns on your homescreens in the LPP settings. These widgets will need to be resized just longpress and resize to fit your look.
Next for the honeycomb clock at the bottom of my homescreen you will need one more clock widget from here.
The weather widget is just Beautiul Widgets 1x1 with the "None" weather skin.
Beautiful widgets can be downloaded from the market here for $1.96.
The battery widget is BattStatt. You can download the free version here. I recommend upgrading to the Pro version for more customization.
The analog clock is Honeycomb clock FREE which can be downloaded from the market here.
Most of my icons are from the Ares HD icon pack by Radius which can be found here.
A few of the icons are from iconspedia, so if you don't see them in Ares HD check there.
The APPS+ icon is a shortcut that I set up for my settings. The icon is an icon from Manup's Minimal Text Clean icon pack that I played with in GIMP. Here it is, if you can't see it it's there just save and move to your SD card.
Right click above this and save the image.
I am using Audio Manager Pro with the Minimal skin from Johnny Bueno found here on the market.
For my music widget I am using Music Mod which can be downloaded from the market here.
For the dock and dock icons I am using this pack created for the Evo by bizdady.
For the power controls on my notification pull shade I am using Power Control Plus which can be purchased from the market here for $2.02.
The search widget and genie widget are included in Newkidd's AwesomeROM. Special thanks go out to him and all the above mentioned devs. Man I love Android.
If you find anything else to contribute to the look or just want to share please add to the thread.
If I locate anything else or incorporate any suggestions I'll add to this post.

nice! are you going to make a rom based off of this current UI setup? If not, is the theme just applied to stock? or can it be run on roms without bootloop issues?
Might be a silly question, but I cant seem to get my music mod to look like yours. How did you do that?

It's the 4x2 widget resized due to the homecreen being set to 5 columns in LPP.

This look can mostly be achieved with the stock ROM. There's no flashable theme, just a lot of random pieces I've put together in this thread.

Looks like Beautiful Widgets but with customized clock and weather. BW has so many themes and have spent ages finding the right one.

Oops. Slightly embarrassed at that but in my defence it looked like one of the themes I had missed around with on BW.
I tried looking at the themes but am guessing that it is a windows widget. I suspect you won't get the exact but need to use something like BW or HD Widgets to get something close.

this is actually an android phone.. dont be mistaken for the windows-like tabes at the bottom. theyre actually not softkeys. theyre just onscreen buttons.
That can be done with a combo of 2 themes for beautiful Widgets. The widget is smaller home widget with a digital click skin and a weather skin
This is a wrong way to say that you are dreaming with a android and all you can get was a Windows....

hi zelendel. i bought Beautiful Widgets yesterday. i got the time to look digital like in the pic. but i'm having probs with the weather icon. that is, the weather icon looks like the one in the pic but i cant get the date to appear on top of it. any suggestions?
Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.
