Hey guys. I'm running Aloysius V12 and have been using Beautiful Widgets. Love the look and it's fairly reliable as far as the time/date/weather go, but whenever I plug my phone into the computer, the style reverts to stock. I am very particular about the way it looks, because the way I have it now looks quite good with my wallpaper, but when it reverts, it doesn't match up well. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things since I just have to restart the widget, but curious to see if anyone knows why the USB plug-in would make any difference. I have had this issue on BW 2.998 and 2.999. As a side note, does anyone know how to change the date font? Changing the clock font has no bearing on it, and neither do weather skins. Thanks in advance.

ok now on the issue with the usb reseting to default im lost but..... on changing the format you can do it this way... press the cloud icon or whatever where it brings up the screen showing the extended forecast then hit menu button and you should see "refresh,skins, and configure". oh wait you said DATE font lol ok so disregard sorry ( emailing dev to ask about this since im definetly no help and posted pointless post lol )

BW saves skins on the SD card. So if you plug in and mount the phone no longer has access to SD card and BW forces stock skin. Once you unmount the skin should go back to the one you selected.

Weather and date fonts are based on your system font. The only way to change it is to use a new font on the phone.

Ah, that makes sense then. Thanks for going out of your way to email the dev! I didn't even think of going that far. And for the phone font - I don't believe I have seen a tutorial or post on how to do this. Is this even an option and/or how would I go about doing this?
T2noob created a bat file for changing fonts:

I'm still using his fonts but use Type Fresh to apply them now.
