Probably a bad download. Thanks for letting me know it works.
No problem!
This is a great theme. I would like to give MrDSL a big thanks as he does not even have a MT4G to test this theme on. Oh and there is much more skinned than shows in the screen shots. Many of the apps like gmail, and market etc have also been reskinned. The market is a beautiful transparent with a touch of blue.
I will try to get some screen shots of this up today.
Where's the redhead? lol

I think you have to get that wallpaper separately. I'm not where I can upload it right now. Maybe MrDSL can upload it.
It should have done the wallpaper with the theme but maybe its handled different on MY4G..You can get it here
How would I go about getting JUST the cool status bar? Really digging the battery speedometer. =0)
MrDSL for some reason the Wallpaper is not working. I did see your wallpaper in the framework-re.apk/drawable-hdpi but for some reason it is not installed or even available through the wallpapers function in settings.
MrDSL I have noticed a couple more minor things. The Google Search widget is completely transparent, not sure if this is by design? There are just 2 symbols on either side, the microphone and Google icon on the other, nothing in the middle but the text search. Also in the widget selection menu after selecting google search widget, the list of options or type of search widget, the icon for web is missing.
When you open up the search in the browser the microphone on the right side can't be seen as it is white in color and so it blends in with the search frame.
I hope this makes sense and I will later put up some screen shots for you.
great work!
This is the real deal right here, love the color scheme with great detail!!
Great job!!
Ok MrDSL here are some Screen Shots of some of the possible minor issues. I will post some more screen shots in another thread also, don't want to be too confusing.
Great job. I really like it.

Yeah the Google widget is transparent by design although that blue Google icon on the right isn't suppose to be there..I missed a image edit there..attached is how it should look..I will fix it later..its a market app so if you want just delete it and install it from market.
Personal preference I guess cause I like it transparent on my home screen and I know the icons are there

OK thanks for the clarification, I think you forgot to attach the image. Also any ideas about the calendar and youtube?

I'll have to look when I get home cause I don't notice anything..I need a bigger screen haha
Okay I see the calendar..whats wrong with youtube?
EDIT: Per the suggestions, I downloaded and can confirm it seems pretty amazing. A big learning curve though, doesn't seem intuitive. Working on that.
I Really would like to start using this app, but the permissions seem crazy to me. Everyone's thoughts? Am I just paranoid? The developer seems very legit and know's whats up... fan of XDA too... so, probably nothing, but I am so skeptical when an app needs so much (though, given the power of the app, it sorta makes sense)
This application has access to the following:
Services that cost you money:
directly call phone numbers
Network communication:
full Internet access
Your personal information:
read sensitive log data
Storage:
modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
System tools:
disable keylock,

display system-level alerts
Your accounts:
discover known accounts
Hardware controls:
control vibrator
Network communication:
view network state,
view Wi-Fi state
System tools:
automatically start at boot,
expand/collapse status bar,

NOW... with all that said, look at the beauty you can create:

Hmm.. quick widget access?
I think you are just being paranoid. It's obviously a widely used app and as you can see a wonderful app to have.
If this was an unknown dev I would say do some research.
Thanks for this didn't know widgetlocker had themes!

yea like i have power amp so i put that widget there i also have my weather widget there also you can choose a different wallpaper aside from the one your phone has
I have been using it for a week or so now. I love having my fancy widget with weather on my lock screen but I get more use out of the Pandora Widget. control my music without having to unlock my phone when I pull it out of my pocket. added a slider for some things and its awesome. check out my layout i think it came out great personally.
How do I use the theme?

I've had it for a while but stopped using it, it would often default to system lockscreen and it runs in bg using resources, but it is pretty.PS. why are my screenies teh suck?
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

Cool! Thanks for posting this. I'm just not sure exactly how to use apply these themes. What exactly do we do with the .zips?
I want this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11817549&postcount=69
1. go the app menu and open widget locker (will not work from an already locked state )
2. Long press on open space
3. Select "Custom Slider"
4. click the drop down box to select a different slider from those installed or select "get themes" and download them directly.
5. customize the slider before you select "save"
EDIT: http://widgetlocker.teslacoilsw.com/themes-doc/installing-themes/ <-- how to install
Nvm we need 2.0 version lol
Alright, downloaded it... it looks like there is a little bit of a learning curve on this app. I will try reading the guides already out there and see if I can give a readers digest version later.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and love it. I got it specifically for keeping the audiogalaxy app on the locker as to have quicker access to pause or stop music. I have also grown fond of the rotary lock as well.
I've been using Widget Locker for months and I've never had a problem. I've just discovered the theming aspect of it so I'm excited to get into that. I'm wanting to theme the rotary and the normal android tabs like the lockscreens in Bionix 1.3, hopefully it turns out well! If someone's already done this, let me know where to find it
Here is my first attempt.....
Not perfect.
I have tried numerous searches, both here and google itself....and can't find an answer. I seem to find other people with a similar issue as I am having, but no resolution. I have 2 types of Clock/Weather widgets I have tried to use...both display the time correctly, but no weather. It will show my location, but again...no weather. When you click on where the weather would be, it will tell that there is no forecast details available. When I go into the settings of the widget app I am trying to use, and try to manually put in my location, It will say it can not find my location...no matter if i input the zip code, or city name. But again...the corrct location shows up on the widget itself when the GPS option is selected in location settings. The two widgets I have tried to use is, FANCY WIDGET - and LP SENSE CLOCK WIDGET (Both of which are HTC style clock/weather widgets, just the LP SENSE is the updated 4.0 version)
If anyone has insight on this, It would be appreciated. All I can seem to figure out the issue is, is that something on the phone is preventing weather to be displayed, as the problem happens on 2 different types of widgets.
I have tried a reboot, reinstall, wipe cache, etc
A lot of weather widgets that was using iGoogle's weather API is experiencing this because they shut down Google that API. Either wait for dev to update the app to use a different weather provider or switch weather services.

By switching weather services, do you mean by finding a new widget...or is there a way to change the widgets weather service? I have been trying to figure out a way by editing something within the widget by accessing the files with root explorer, but cant find anything.
You need a new widget. Something like AccuWeather, Weather Channel, Weather bug, etc. You need one that DOESNT use Googles weather service. I've never seen one that let's you change it.

Beautiful Widgets had an option to use either Google or Accuweather as a source, then again it's a paid app. I'm sure it's not the only one out there.

It appears Google has quietly killed its weather API
Reported story from http://thenextweb.com
Last month, Google announced plans to shutter iGoogle, among a bunch of other services. Many developers and users were (and still are) outraged, but at least they have some time to breathe: iGoogle isn’t going away until November 1, 2013. That means there are still 15 months left to adjust and export your data. Yet some changes are already starting to take effect: the company’s private Weather API, for example, appears to be dead in the water.
The Next Web has reached out to Google for comment. While there has been no official announcement or communication indicating that the API has been closed, it is noteworthy that iGoogle — the product that the API serviced — is now using Wundergrond.com instead, as you can see in these two examples: 94102 and Mountain View. This would suggest the search giant has knowingly made the switch.
It would appear that this error is happening because Google has quietly phased out its Weather API. A quick check over at Status Dashboard shows that the response time has dropped to -1 today.
In spite of no official word from Google, Web developers, many of whom have been experiencing issues, seem convinced that the API has been quietly closed down by the search giant. A Hacker News submission points to an error message that Google throws up when you try to query the Weather API with the 94102 area code in San Francisco while another developer over on Stack Overflow points to the same error when you search for a specific city, such as Mountain View:
We’re sorry…
… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.
See Google Help for more information.
The error page features the old Google logo and a 2009 copyright stamp. Twitter users also don’t seem pleased:
Google a coupé son API Google Weather, SUPER…

Things I did not plan on doing this week: Rewriting weather app because Google shut down their weather API!
— Bradley Batt (@bradbatt) August 27, 2012
So Google pulled the plug on their undocumented Weather API? Expect support tickets.
— Joël Cox (@joelcox) August 27, 2012
Web developer Jordan Stephens isn’t even bothering to look for alternatives. In fact, CurrentlyIn has been completely shut down as a result of the Google Weather API outage, according to an error message from the service:
currentlydown : (
Google has shut down its undocumented weather API (which was used by this site).
currentlyin.net will be down for the forseeable future.
As this is a private API, Google is arguably entitled to pull support without warning but that won’t stop developers being disappointed by the move and lack of communication. Since its main purpose was to serve iGoogle, it is perhaps unsurprising that Google has axed it.
I was using Beautiful Widgets. The update as of the 03/09/2012
version 4.12 - 3rd of september 2012
- Remove Google Weather API
Yes Beauriful widgets is your best bet.
Well that explains a fair few things like why W&TW wasn't updating like it should've. While it's currently like 30°c outside today, it (W&TW), was only reporting a current temperature of 15°c, markably cooler then. Having taken the advice to uninstall and, then re-installing the App, has now left me with a dead App that can no longer pull in any Weather data here or from the States. beit by proper Place Name, or by Zipcode.
And I really loved W&TW too...
I for One am gonna miss the Cloud Animations.

I have an HTC HD2 too
and have had the same problem with Fancy Widget not displaying the Week's forecast:
This was resolved by going in to
Opening up the setting of Fany Widgets
Open Location & Settings
change to AccuWeather
change Geocoder to "Weather Provider"
and i only Tick "Geolocation" = dont tick "Use GPS" to save on battery life
This should also help with your Weather location remaining up to date
I have been scouring the internet and forums for days trying to find out about the lock screen news ticker found on the S3/Note II. I cannot find it. I'm fairly certain its been removed from the S4. Anyone know some hidden menu its possibly in? Or, if it has been removed.. is that something that a developer could add back in? I loved that feature from my S3...
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you want a news feed widget on your lock screen just look up a simple tutorial how to put widgets on your lock screen. Then get a news widget that fits your needs.
This is my first post here and I'll admit I'm not an XDA developer. I'm hoping someone could help fix my "bug" (#1 below). All three things below reference the lock screen and making the date & time more readable on it. The same issues might apply to Samsung Galaxy phones in general. I sent the below to Samsung, but I'm not holding my breath for them to reply.
My specs:
Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850W. Running Android 5.0.2
1. If you change the clock size to Large on the Lock Scren. The clock size will not stay large if you have any notifications, it will reset to a normal sized font.
2. The color of the clock can't be changed, there needs to be a large black outline around the existing white text (currently it's a small black shadow). Since lollipop shows album art on the lock screen, you may get a pure white background and the clock nearly disappears.
3. The size of the date can't be enlarged. #2 also applies to the date.
I am willing to root with a new lock screen if that's necessary to fix but I'm not sure where to find info on available lock screens, I don't want to use the wrong one and break the phone. btw, I wasn't able to find a lock screen app as none that I tested had the features and speed of the default lock screen.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know about any lockscreen app that has all those things you need, but you can mod your stock lockscreen to get it all, but it contains some risk and of course some programming experience ( mostly smali and Java)

Thanks sdeepb. I'm pretty sure this is the only way to go, unless there's a pre-built lock screen you can easily swap out for rooted phones.
