Saved Widgets Disappearing - Themer General Discussion

I've been working hard on completing my theme to share but I keep running into setbacks. Every time I reboot, I lose my widgets but retain my wallpaper, not a problem as most of the widgets are saved or I've exported the theme.
I was working on the next widget and rebooted my phone. Lost all the widgets, but it's not a problem as I saved each widget as I progress. Go to customize the widget and pull up my saved widgets and there is nothing there. I get a 'No Saved Widget Themes Found' in a bright white against a slightly white background. I'm super annoyed because I just spent an hour on this widget and now I can't retrieve it to continue the work, or any of my past widgets for that matter. Why is this happening

Hi there,
Instead of saving widgets, save the whole theme. Watch this video for more info: http://bit.ly/18zacRY.
Apologies for the inconvenience, the developers are working on a fix for this.

Too Many Widgets, or too little RAM?

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.

App Icon

I deleted 2 apps from my Tablet but the icons are still there though they are no longer working.

Are you saying these icons are showing in the app launcher? Or in the respective widget/wallpaper menus?
They still appear in the Home Screen but .when I click them, they say "Application is not installed".
The 2 apps are downloaded from the Market but deleted later.
press and hold on the icons and drag them to the trash bin that shows up on the screen. voila!
Done!
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Black Gmail widget

Hi,
Can anyone help me find a black Gmail widget ?
I have looked everywhere and cant seem find it but I know it exists.
The ones I did find are from 2010 to 2012 and outdated.
If there really is no app out there compatible with 4.3 roms then there must be a way to make the stock Gmail app widget black.
I am really so sick of the white Gmail widget. The theme on my phone is transparent black so one page that is white kills the beauty of my phone.
Please someone help me out. I am really desperate to get or make my Gmail widget black.
I'd give my right arm to be able to make Gmail and Hangouts widget inverted.
One option I've found, if you don't mind switching launchers, is Go Launcher Ex. They have their own message and email widget. Once you download the launcher, the widget, and the dark/transparent widget theme then your good to go. I'll download it and post screen shots after I get home.
There should be done way to dive into the code and change that stuff ourself. Unfortunately this is beyond my current comprehension of coding.
Oh. Another thing that helps is am app called 'screen filter'. It turns the white pixels gray to a percentage of your choosing. This doesn't fit into your theme, but it does help protect your eyes from the stark contrast of white widget on black background at night time.
Be easy not too easy,

When making a theme widgets sometimes move each other.

When I try to add a zoomed widget in the same area as my weather widget, the weather widget was pushed off the screen and I can't get it back. Sure I can just try to make a new one but it's still running somewhere off the screen. Is there a way to list all widgets you have on screen? And delete them in that list? Or from a list default them to center of screen? I know the themer widgets can stack so why are they moving on their own? This is especially true if I try to edit a theme I download. As soon as I press configure or resize or add something the theme goes ape **** and everything just moves. Not using a custom dpi. Stock Rom galaxy note 3.

Hi vitessex,
We're not too sure how this happens, as testing it now reveals that a widget cannot push another one off the screen. However in your unlucky case, we suggest going into Themer's main settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Allow overlapping Widgets. This should then just cause the widgets to overlap instead of jumping around.
Which downloaded themes are causing this? Most new themes should have the overlapping widget setting enabled to prevent this issue.

It seems to do it with all the themes I have downloaded. And even happened on the one I am making myself. But currently I will show an example with the theme "Coordinate." The overlapping Widgets option is enabled and this is what happens when I add a widget or edit in any way really.

I see. There might have been a bug during installation. Try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Let me know how this goes.

[Q] Next Launcher 4X4 Widget

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.
