UCCW Question: Widget drawer - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to make a theme, and I'm using UCCW to create various elements of it. Is there any way to have a place/unplace widget icon? I want to be able to open and close the widget as part of the ui, instead of having it be on constantly. I've looked through the hotspots, and I just can't see it.
Thanks, and sorry if someone has already answered this and I didn't see it. This is hour 2 of google. XD

Display appointments on homescreen?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to display my upcoming apointments on the lockscreen. I heard there was a app that could do this, but I forgot the name and I can't find the link anymore at the forum it was posted. I found some other apps but they don't seem to work with sense.
If somebody knows a way to do this, please tell me. Opening the calander is annoing and I want to see what I got coming up when I wake up the phone. The screen is just being empty anyway
why dont you place calendar widget on the main screen? the same thing, but you just have to unlock the phone..
Because there is not enough room. I got the clock/weather thing there and 8 shortcuts to the apps I use most (phone, contacts, internet etc) so there is no room left to place a widget. I now got the small calender widget on the next panel along with apps I user a bit less often. Its not ideal but I guess I have to manage as I learned creating a lockscreen app is pretty much impossible as there are no options for this in the SDK.
For me it works a lot better to have it on the lockscreen because that way I can see what appointments I got without having to do anything. I will see it everytime I turn on the phone which is a great way not to forget.
Is is worth to find a room for 4x1 widget and you can use e.g. "Agenda Widget". In 4x1 widget it's showing 4 next appointments and for me it is great.
That might work. What is the name? If I search agenda widget in the market I can only find things like calender widget.
Even if the topic is old, I think that others looking for it can find it useful. In my opinion, this the best calendar/appointment widget set. A lot of customizations and flexibility.

[Q] What Clock/Weather Widget(?) is This?

Good evening,
I've been searching around for a clock and weather widget that has a nice, simple but detailed, minimalistic approach to it. I've been using clockr and beautiful widgets to obtain this feel in the past but it just isn't as detailed as I'd like for it to be.
Whilst browsing themes for GO Launcher, I ran across this theme along with this widget (I'm guessing) and have no clue what it is. The theme does not mention what clock was used so I am at a loss.
The theme is called "Gre 2.0," a screenshot of it including the clock is attached.
Thanks in advance!

Scrolling Launcher Widget?

Someone has got to have made this but I can't seem to find it. I'm using a "hubs" layout (one screen for social media, one for productivity etc) and I'd like to essentially have a horizontally scrollable launcher widget on each screen with apps that make sense for that hub.
Currently using simi folder widget which is cool, but I'd prefer the launcher bar that is activated by clicking on the folder to live in a widget right on the home screen.
Could anybody point me to a widget app like this? I'm pretty sure I saw a video where someone had this but didn't see details on what they were using. Thanks!
Edit: sorry if this would have been better posted in themes and apps. Please move if necessary.

If I'm understanding you then what you're looking for is a dock that can display icons that are specific to the current page? Something close would be Nova launcher which provides a scrollable dock. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

Thanks, I'm currently using Apex and I really like it. I don't want just 1 dock (no matter how many pages on it you can scroll through). I want a different set of apps in a horizontally scrolling launcher bar widget. Then I could put an instance of this widget on each of my homescreens with different apps in each one. Then when I swipe from my "Office" homescreen to my "Photo" or "Video" homescreens this "launcher" widget has the appropriate apps for that hub. Hopefully that makes sense.
Like I said, simi folder widget is pretty good for this kind of setup, but I thought there might be a better solution out there.

Is there a way to make any widget persistent?

I use the DuckDuckGo widget for my searches as opposed to Google and would really love to be able to make it persistent like the Google search bar can be. I'm using Nova at the moment and it allows me to set Google as persistent if I want but it doesn't allow just any widget to be persistent, only the Google search.
If there are other launchers out there that show persistent widgets of your choosing please do tell me, if not if there is a way to make it happen is love to know!

i m also looking for such feature...
Why not just add the widget to the top of every page? It's not as nice, but I don't think there are launchers that support that since it's not nearly as popular

Well the reason I don't do that is because it doesn't look right, for some reason making the widget persistent doesn't look the same as adding a widget to every page. I don't know how to really explain it. Try using a fullscreen widget like Business Calendars 5x5 widget, and stretch it to whatever you have your grid set to, and then enable the persistent search bar. Take a screenshot and then get rid of the persistent search bar and just add one by hand and take a screenshot. They look different, almost like the persistent search bar doesnt take up the phone width of the grid like a regular widget does.
Also persistent widgets dont move the other things on your homescreens doen as far as having to take up another grid does.
Ive seen Overlay but that doesnt really do what i am trying to do, it just allows a floating widget over your screen and floats it on top of what is already there. I am looking for either a launcher or a mod that allows me to change which widget I use as the persistent widget.

You'll have to read and learn that's the best solution imho. It seems that this snapshot is a mix of UCCW + Zooper Widget + an icon pack. Bunchs of tutorials & templates are available on XDA for UCCW and Zooper.

The launcher is likely Nova or Apex and there is an icon pack applied however it would be nearly impossible to tell you which icon pack it is without asking the phone's owner or scouring the Playstore or XDA or elsewhere for hours and hours.
That vertical calendar widget is defintely from Zooper Widget. You can download the app for free in the Playstore. The vertical calendar comes with it and it is called UpCalendar. Once Zooper is installed add a 2x4 widget to your screen and choose that UpCalendar widget
That clock widget may be Zooper as well but I agree with Primokorn that it may be UCCW. You'll have to search for it. Another option for a clock is to use the Playstore App called Zooper Widget Gallery. It will show you a lot of other clocks that are really nice as well.
Also, there is a really cool website called My Color Screen that has beautiful home screens and phone themes and they have step by step tutorials telling you exactly what to download and how to configure the widgets, icon packs, launchers, etc. I highly recommend checking the site out and trying out some of the themes so you can get an idea of how to customize your phone and make it look pretty :silly:
