I'm building my own skin for Beautiful Widgets beautiful home and smaller home. It's 90%, but I still have a few bugs and tweaks to work thru.

I'd love to ask questions of those who've come before.

The tweak involves making some changes the developer doesn't endorse, so that's why I'm here instead of there. Want to change the art for the static weather. I already got the large animated stuff changed. That was easy. I'm hung on the non-animated one.

The bugs involve the background not rendering for Smaller Home. Works fine for regular Home in both portrait and landscape.

Also want to tweak my AM/PM labels. Already got the dots how I want them (PITA, BTW), but still need to do a little work on the AM/PM. I think I just need to scale them up and pad the image border here and there.
