Hey everyone, I don't know about you guys but I'm just not satisfied with the clack faces available for our Truesmart watches and after searching for quite some time, I came across this nifty little app in the Playstore called "Make your clock". It literally allows to do just that, make your own clock and load it onto your Truesmart as a 4x2 widget, which is the perfect size for half of the TS screen. I went ahead and made some widgets so I'll include them below. I made them as two widgets so the date and time widget could display my alarm clock settings when tap on it and the Weather and clock widget would take me to the weeks forecast screen when I tap on that.
The Date/Time widget fills the top half of the screen and the Weather/Battery widget fills the bottom half of the screen. Hope you like, if not you can always make your own clock. Lol.

I have been looking for a while, but can't find what I want.
I like Beautiful Home Weather's clock, but not the date & weather.
I like Beautiful Weather, for the 5 day display, but no clock.
I tried WP Clock & lock Art, but they are live wallpaper & show on all screens & don't act right in landscape.
I tried "Make your own clock", but couldn't get it to look right. Want clock to not show the leading 0, as in 03:30 & I couldn't get rid of the background. I am still working with Make your own, but struggling with how to change the appearance.
I would be happy with Beautiful Widgets Home if it had the 5 day weather & bigger date field.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Update: I am figuring out "Make my own clock" & it just may just work for me.
Thanks,

try fancy widget. free and paid versions
try minimalistic text... works great!
I like the original fancy widget- the one that looks like HTC Sense- b4 the cease and desist. Post a screen for us of your clock when you've finished tweaking it.
Sent from my nootered Nookor
My favs are "Classic Clock 4X4" with "Date Widget Free"
In Fiesta Clock and Sierra Clock 4x4 are nice too,
I have settled on "Make your Clock". It's pretty much, just about the only thing I need sometimes.
Thanks,

Here is a new LP on the market.... Time and Date Contrast LP.
Hi all.
This is for all Star Trek fans. I have made up a theme to make are vegas look like the LCARS panels used in Star Trek. You do need a few apps installed to make it happen. Most are free, the others can be replaced by free alternatives. This is currently just one screen, i do plan on adding two others. Just trying to find some inspiration for them. Also plan on changing the ENGINEERING text at the top to change when the home page is changed, when i get the time. This is only designed for use with the home screen set to Landscape, this can be set in ADW Launcher settings (explained below).
Apps needed:
Desktop visualizer - Bii,Inc
ADW launcher (i use the free version) - AnderWeb
Beautiful widgets (for time and weather widget, not free) - LevelUp Studio
System Monitor Lite 4 - gsjavadev
First install the above apps then set ADW settings as below.
ADW Settings:
Screen preferences,
Hide status bar: Checked
Wallpaper scrolling: Unchecked
Hide icon labels: Checked
Auto stretch: Unchecked
Desktop Columns: 8
Desktop Rows: 8
General Behavior,
Home screen binding: Move to default desktop
Swipe down actions: Open/close App Drawer (For swipe panel)
Swipe up actions: Show/hide statusbar (For swipe panel)
System Preferences,
Home Orientation: Landscape
UI Settings,
Main Dock Style: None (expanded desktop)
Applying the theme:
Unpack the LCARS Theme.zip and transfer the files to your Vega, then set the LCARSBackground.png as the wallpaper. Then start adding Desktop visualizer widgets, use the screenshot for reference. The top for buttons are 2x1 the eight middle are 1x1 and the bottom two large are 3x1. The settings button is 1x1, and the two swipe panels are 1x4. Set the image and application settings by tapping the empty desktop visualizer. Making sure to tap clear on the label option. You can go to the trouble of setting the appropriate touch effect colour to match the button colour. Time consuming but makes it look good. Thats it your vega should look like a LCARS pad!!
Have Fun
I guess I will be the first to reply. Nice theme, I may have to try it on my Nook Color. I won't get a chance until Sunday but I will report back then.
Could you better detail the necessary programs? Market seems to have several things with identical titles. Maybe list the program developer/author? Thanx

No problem. Updated the first post.
Getting my vega tomorrow and think I will be giving this a shot.
Incidentally I've just started watching Star Trek TNG from episode 1, again.
Also incidentally, I see you live in Gloucester. I work in Quedgeley

Thats coincidence, I am working in Quedgeley this week. Feel pity for any one you see walking around in a green t-shirt carrying a Hand held terminal
Its DS9 thats my fav. That is what inspired me to make this theme.
Hope you enjoy your vega as much as i do.
Peace.
I am trying to use the Lunar Mclock theme and the Beautiful Widgets weather widget together. When I drag the clock over the weather widget to resize it the weather widget stays ontop of the clock for a while but after turning on and off the phone a couple of times it goes behind the overlapping clock so it is partially hidden even though the clock is somewhat transparent. Because of this can't tap the weather widget only the clock widget. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I hope the makes sense. Thanks
Never mind I figured it out with the help of this link.

I just needed to add the widgets in a different order.
I guess most people know the weather app Snowstorm on Android. There are many apps on WP8 but something more can be done. I like how in Snowstorm you have your widgets and a wide choice of icon sets and I'm pretty sure that can be done on Windows Phone. A weather forecast at the top of the lockscreen and a choice of icons in the app settings, all while leaving the wallpaper choice to the user.
Anyone up for that?
how bout locksider+? It was free for a while, not sure about now, but it has a bunch of lockscreen photos that you can pick or choose to randomize, and it has weather in the top corner
Hey XDA members
I have created a UCCW widget but I cant get it to absolute widget proportions on my home screen. In other words, I cant expand my widget in uccw to meet the size I want in my homescreen
SCREEN SHOT 1: The widget is perfectly fit. If I expand it, it goes out of the box and become invisible.
SCREEN SHOT 2: The widget goes perfect with Horizontal size but plays some gap in vertical size.
I cant vertically expand the image because it will simply result in invisibility, whereas downloadable skins from Playstore have absolute proportion on my homescreen. Can anyone help please? THANKS
