Hi I'm looking for a good suite of HD widgets for my nexus 10. I'm happy to pay for one but the ones I've seen previews of all seem to be HTC sense-like and I'm not keen on that kind of design - it's too retro for me.
The nexus is top of the tree and I'd like something modern, even futuristic maybe but don't want to use an alternative launcher.
So if anyone has any good suggestions and some screenshots or links to previews I'd appreciate it.
Cheers

Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets are both excellent -- and you can choose themes that aren't especially sense-like.
Going further toward something less typical -- take a look here at UCCW (Ultimate Custom Widget)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget&feature=search_result
...some nice possibilities with this, and there are several skins you can download free as well.

I'm looking for a good news widget mostly i read engadget but their widget is only 4x1 and I'd like a tablet optimized one.
Thanks
Pure News Widget seems to be a good one. Been using it on phone and tab.
Multiple sized widgets, plus resizable if using proper launcher. Scrollable. And many themes. It does tend to use a lot of data but on a tablet, not really an issue.
News360; best news widget available IMHO

+1 to this...just played around with it and it is pretty nice.
Pulse is by far the best, the App shows you multiple sources at once and the widget lets you place any sources on you main screens.
News Flash is pretty sweet! The Widgets are tickers and looks awesome on my Prime
as far as widgets go I like minimal reader for my rss feeds.
However I stopped using it for google currents... no widgets yet but I prefer it over anything else.
So, I've always looked for a very well-made weather app, and I think that the new iOS 7 weather is really, really amazing. The graphic, with those tiny animations, is beautiful! But unfortunately I'm not a developer, so: is there some way to port this beautiful app, or someone who can do this? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Nothing? :crying:

I would love the ability to be able to bend text within themer instead of having to do it via photoshop.

Hi mate the way I bent the text in my newest theme was using themer zooper. I allowed widget over lapping.
Made the zooper widget then a put the every thing widget over the top.

Zooper is the future, there's not much that you can't do with it. Check out the G+ community for some examples and help.

There is a lot that can't be done in zooper
Music
Phone dialer
News
Contacts
Scrollable widgets
And there are many thing that do NOT work as they should
Mobile net work in progressive bar being 1
To be honest when I first used themer it was looking like a stand alone launcher to theme.
But now its no different to using holo HD and uccw and zooper
In fact
Themer instead of holo HD.
Everything widget instead of uccw.
And zooper in both.
So now if that how things will pan out I think i will go back to holo HD as it has more features. Less bugs. Less crashes. Less lag. And is all round smother even when added uccw and zooper.
And in all fairness I never lost a theme due to the launcher when using holo HD uccw and zooper.
And to be honest in my opinion the bugs and crashes are getting worse NOT BETTER.
I hope thing can change for the better as I would like to use a all in one as started not 5 different apps.
As at the moment I'm using themer, zooper pro, zooper themer, uccw and widget locker as if I try to add zooper or the everything widget to widget locker it fails.
Now I'm hoping when lock screen is added to themer it will be better and over time things will be fixed but there have been many versions and yet still in beta with for me more bugs then started with.
This said there are more features then when first released.
And don't get me wrong I fully understand the difficulties in development as I built a few roms for the sony ericcson x8 and many of time I would add 1 feature which would cause 10 conflicts some where else or even a boot loop so I'm not say the themer team are not doing there best to fix because as many of you will know even when a bug is fixed their is a chance that this could cause other bugs.
And that is the the thing with development until done its unknown!
So to me in my opinion it would make sense to not add more features at this time but to focus on ironing out all the bugs and get what we all ready have stable.
Me for one would be more then happy to wait 3 months for more features but knowing that when more things do come it will be stable ( there is nothing more annoying then spending 4-6 hours on a theme and then losing it ) but one thing for sure when stable this will be without a doubt the best launcher IMO.
And I will continue to support themer as the more people help and feed back the better themer will become as in a way there is 2 part to development
1 the development its self
2 testing and reporting bugs
Which then leads to a loop
1 the development its self
2 testing and reporting bugs
3 more development
4 testing and reporting bugs
5 more development
6 testing and reporting bugs
And the loop continues till every thing is fixed.
So again to ALL USER PLEASE REPORT EVERY BUG,CRASH,GLICH to the @ThemerSupport team.
Just my opinion
All the best

I'm not saying its not mate. It just needs work as the main thing a user will look for is stability.
You could have the nicest look in the world but if not stable what is the point. For ex sample if you had a device that stopped at 2.3.6 GB but there was a unstable 4.4.2 rom for it but you keep getting a black screen. You would not use that rom for long.
And its the same with any app, themes. Widget and so on the end user wants stability.
So although though yes rom bugs are much more annoying and affect the user more.
Users regardless of what there using are all looking for 3 things and they are
1 stability
2 speed
3 look
And in that order for most smartphone user (for WP8 users start at 3 and finish at 1 lol)
All the best

In the whole I agree with Moley,more has been said about getting more themes out there than concentrating on getting the product to work,it is all about priorities.The product although in beta has good merits but there is also the downside that simple things sometimes just don't work as they should,dissapearing widgets is a pain in the arse,especially after all the time it can take to put one together,this is so frustrating,features that have been requested since almost day one still have not been implemented,while other non essential items have been added,remember this is just my opinion and no detriment to the developers as I know how hard it can be to get things right,especially since one thing corrected can throw others out I have done it myself when programming,but the problems need to be ironed out before any cosmetic changes are made,and again I say this as a fan of the programme.I work in marketing & advertising and could never get away with trying to convince any potential customer that his product doesn't work but hey it looks **** hot.As above I think priorities are wrong.Zooper can not replace themers everything widget it simply doesn't have all the thiings listed previously,to say it's the best well how long have you used it for and how many themes have you made ? because many of the problems are associated with creating the themes and many end users who only use them don't come across them.I honestly wouldn't say it is the best,yet. Given time and proper remedies for current issues it will get there.
Remember a product is only as good as the support it is given by both the developer and the end user.
Very simple theme,wanted to do something similar for a while,and this was the result.The font used is called Jennasue and is freely available,just do a google search.

Simplicity is what which makes the theme beautiful.
Must say, great choice of font and background. Can we have some icons with the text? Perhaps sketchy icons?

you know I thought I could have added more,thank you for the suggestion,added a few I had kicking around.Reupped and edited,again thanks
Looks really great ^_^
Thanks for actually accepting my suggestion and making it so quickly! I won't keep this theme permanently, as I'm a theme junkie and I keep on changing my themes, icon packs, wallpapers etc. Will keep as an alternative.
You really should work on theming if you have time, and perhaps sell it on Play Store You really have great potentials.

Hi All,
I've been using Themer for quite some time, adding the odd widget here and there and changing the configuration of other people's themes, but I now want to design my own homescreen.
The Themer webpage basically says 'use Zooper and/or the Everything widgets' and I can see that they're extremely configurable. However, when I look at the themes on the XDA thread and on mycolorscreen.com, a lot of them seem to have been built using a one of the other major launchers, such as Apex or Nova, and with widgets from other sources (Beautiful Widgets, ADW, UCCW, etc.).
So my question is this: what advantages are there to using Themer if everything works fine using Apex or Nova? I can understand that Themer is great for sharing themes and for using someone else's themes on my phone (and thank you for all of those!), but if I want something that's just for me – would I be better off just designing it in Apex and leaving it at that?
I was planning to have various elements 'slide open' by using the 'jump to screen x' command within Themer, which is a neat trick and looks very slick, but it seems the same sort of thing can be achieved by using PopUp Widget.
Is there perhaps some system advantage to using Themer? Does it take all the elements used and then 'flatten' them in order to streamline processing? If so, I can understand the advantage.
Please don't think this is in any way a complaint or criticism against Themer – I just really want to know!
Thank you for your help,

Hi Miles,
Very good question actually. Themer's main goal is to allow people to apply beautiful-looking themes in a few seconds. I've created over 200 videos on the MyColorScreen YouTube channel, with many of those homescreens (using Apex/Nova/UCCW/etc) taking over 30 minutes to configure, and that's if you know what you're doing. However as you mentioned, some people just want to make their own theme, disregarding any of the themes available. If that's the case, many people will stick to Nova or Apex because they're both good launchers that have many years of experience behind them.
So here's the deal - if you want a launcher that will do everything you need - stick with Apex. However, if you want a launcher that you will allow you to include neat looking wallpapers/widgets/icons without any hassle - go with Themer. Even you don't enjoy the themes, they're great for getting ideas. Themer is still in beta, therefore more features and improvements shall arrive soon!
Good luck
- Marco
