I can't figure out how to use it. :eek:

I was inspired by the clocks and weather widgets in the home screen thread but I'm lost. Help please!

Have you found the widgets section of the app drawer? You don't add widgets to the home screen (with stock launcher at least) with a long press any more.

Go into your app drawer, and scroll past the apps, you should see the widgets with BW there.

Correct, that's one change I noticed right away. You can also just click on the titles at the top of the app drawer. Click on "widgets" and it will take you right to the widgets section.

It's pretty cool though as now you see a preview of the widget before selecting it, while before you were pretty much guessing as to what it would look like before placing it on your desktop. This would usually result in a trial & error match of me selecting, placing on my desktop, then deleting if it wasn't the one I wanted.

so hold down on your screen and go to widgets and find beautiful widgets, and find Beautiful home weather, scroll down until you find Clock Skins, Then go pick your skins that you like form the standard skins menu. When they are installed move over to the installed skins pick the one you like and apply it. Hope this helped. It is a little confusing at first but when you do it a few times it gets easier lol.

With ICS long pressing on your screen only brings up wallpaper options. You have to find the widgets in your app drawer. Refer to my post above.

I believe hit the weather icon on the actual widget, which would bring up the 5 day forecast. From here hit menu, then clock skins. Hope that helps.
