Help Beautiful Widgets - Who's got the Incredible clock figured out?

[colchiro]

Loved the look of my Incredible home page. Installed Launcher Pro and managed to find the setting to get my 7 screens back, then bought the Beautiful Widgets, but getting the exact skin is elusive. I'd like to get it to look just like the Inc.

Also, is there a way to change the setting once it's on the screen? I have to drag the icon to the trash, then add a new one each time to change it. At least it remembers the last settings.

One more question, (haven't seen it posted), what are you guys using to get screen shots?

TIA!

Dragging and reapplying the widget is the only way. And I use a skin called "DroidFlip", resembles HTC very nicely.

Not sure about Beautiful Widgets but I found a free one that looks pretty darn close IMO. No clue yet in terms of what battery life is with this sucker running but maybe it helps?

I tried that and thought the wider spacing between the digits with ANDRODena_Anastasia_clock was a better match, but it's got that goofy colon between the digits. Back to DroidFlip.

Thanks JB, but that link doesn't work, "Oops! This page does not exist anymore..."

I did get AppBrain installed and sync'd tho, thanks.

Looks like it gets edited out because of the designer's name....the name of the app is "Weather Forecast&Clock Widget" It looked like it was draining my battery pretty fast though so I switched back to the Motorola Clock Widget

The forum is censoring the word "f a g" in the url.

That looks like it's worth a try as well. I REALLY MISS the HTC animated weather, like the windshield wiper that cleans up the water drops when it's raining.

lol Yeah I kinda figured that out after the fact....sorry for the confusion and thanks for linking the pic! I personally hate paying for stuff like this unless I know it's going to work just how I want it. The one I was talking about looked like it was draining battery life though quite a bit. LMK if you guys have any other suggestions though as I definitely love this look and am not a huge fan of the Motorola widget

JB, there was a thread in the Dinc forum about battery life and they suggested checking certain battery app to see what % of the time, and what, was draining the battery.

When I open "battery manager" after clicking "settings", it says
Display 95%
Cell standby 4%

Not bad considering I just got the phone today.

 

[jbhumph]

Yeah my display is what's doing it. 94% is what it's at now and Cell standby is 6%

 

[colchiro]

Restart your phone (to set those #'s to zero) and let it sit idle for an hour in silent mode (or overnight) and see what the % is.

I miss the wiper too and the other animations.

Cool thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll have to try this app again because I really do like it

I just put Fancy Widget on mine using Astro and this .apk file. Works great.

fancy widget .apk? - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

Thank dyno!

Installed, but just need the animated Weather app now.

you can edit BW without dragging it to the trash and starting over.

Just click the weather and when you're on the weather screen, click the settings button.. There you will find the skins setting and the settings option for Beautiful Widgets.
