You can either wait for them to add it or you can download and install it manually from my mediafire account ;)

Any chance of a skin that looks like the gs3 weather widget

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
If you mean the large one with the analog clock and the weather icons all along its borders I'm sorry to tell you that it can't be done (with beautiful widgets or fancy widgets, that is).

Dunno if there are other clock/weather apps able to mimic that style.... I heard that UCCW should be highly customizable: you might want to take a look at it and ask around if anyone has done anything along those lines

EDIT: you also might want to take a look at Elecont Weather: it may not be as "pretty" as the gs3 one, but it has an analog+hour by hour weather widget (and more stuff also)
[Android Themes] jriv:
This is the one from the gs3 I ment

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
lol ok, that's completely different from the one I thought you were speaking of :p

From what I can see in that image, it does not seem to have anything too "distinctive", at least for what concerns the font and the weather icon.

Not sure about the background: is it a static picture or is it supposed to change according to time and weather condition?

If it's a static image, I think you could grab any skin you like on beautiful widgets and just replace the background image with something similar to that one (you would end up with a better looking clock 'cause you could choose from a veeeeeery large variety and I'm sure there are much nicer digits than those ones)

If, on the other hand, the background picture is supposed to change, then neither beautiful widgets nor fancy widgets can do anything like that.

[Android Themes] TheWeasl:
i'd be forever thankful, if someone could port these icons:

cm9 weather icons

that'll be tha bomb!!!!
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
They're kinda small... I should enlarge them for both beautiful and fancy widgets. Not sure about the resulting quality... should I give it a try all the same?
[Android Themes] TheWeasl:
That´ll be absolutely amazing!!!!!!

If you want and especially if you have the time, can you do them original size and resized, also?
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
The actual size on the screen will depend on the widget, not on how large I make the graphics... plus I'm bound to resize them 'cause fancy widgets won't accept the new skin if the graphics are not 160x160.
[Android Themes] TheWeasl:
ok, that's fine with me :D.

i'm using density 165 so they are displayed smaller anyway ;)

Fancy Widgets MIUI-ICS inspired clock :)
[Android Themes] laur3n.newm4n:
Is there a way to get a different skin in the forecast than on the widget? These new cm9 black icons are great, but they don't show up against the black background of the forecast after you click on the widget.
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
I assume you're talking about fancy widgets, right?

I'm afraid you can't pick a different skin for the forecast screen, sorry :(

You could consider beautiful widgets though: in BW the skin applies only to the widget, while the forecast screen always uses the "standard" skin (I guess that's because it looks better with all the weather animations)
[Android Themes] laur3n.newm4n:
Yep, was talking about Fancy Widgets. I've been using Beautiful Widgets, and love it except I want to be able to hide the current and high/low temperature from the widget on the homescreen and just show the weather icon. Which Fancy Widgets does, but then we run into the issue that I posed in my OP.

I wish there was a way to use Fancy Widgets, but then when you tap on the widget, the BW forecast shows up instead.
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
That would be sweet, but I'm afraid the devs would not be that interested in implementing it lol :p
[Android Themes] donwhann:
Hi all, I've put together some weather images for bw but I'm unsure on how to upload to the bw sites for others if they like them. Any advice is welcome please......

Cheers.

Edit: here's a small preview......
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
BW guys published a nice online form to submit new skins. At first it was only for superclock skins, but lately they updated it to work with weather, battery and toggle skins too :)

You can find the form here: http://levelupstudio.com/skincreator/
[Android Themes] donwhann:
^^ thanks, looks pretty easy. My pc's in bits in the kitchen until next weekend due to me decorating my living room but I'll be sure to have a go once I'm up an running again, cheers......
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
Can't wait to see it online ;)

Meanwhile.... happy decorating! :p :D
[Android Themes] laur3n.newm4n:
Just as a follow up to my question about how to get Beautiful Widgets hide the current and high/low temperatures on their 1x1 weather widget...

Perhaps it's a bit more convoluted than other people are willing to try, but I finally achieved what I wanted. First, you've got to have a launcher that supports overlapping widgets. Next, you'll need both BW and FW.

Put the FW 1x1 weather icon widget on your homescreen. Add a shortcut to your homescreen for the BW forecast activity, and change the app icon to a transparent icon. Resize the FW icon so it sits under the BW app shortcut. When you tap where the FW icon is, instead you'll be tapping the shortcut for the BW forecast, so it brings that up instead.

Yay!
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
Nicely done, bravo! :)

Hello Vostradamus

Where i can find this Icons i used it in WM Times can this be Ported to Android ?

Or do you still have the Png for it to use whit UCCW Clock ?

Thx in advance

Robert
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
Hi there! :)

That's the whole old "girls" set, which part of it are you referring to?

It included:

- battery skin

- shortcuts skins

- counters skins

- weather skin

- spb ms panels backgrounds

- battery has been ported as a BW battery skin

- shortcuts has not been ported 'cause that kind of skin required a quite large icon, and spb ms allowed to define the "global" size for every shortcut

- counters has not been ported 'cause I really didn't know where to put them lol :p

- weather has not been ported for the same reason as the shortcuts: size. Plus, it did not include "night versions" for the icons

- spb ms panels backgrounds... well... those were just pics :p
[Android Themes] milanso:
Any chance for an Asus padfone-like skin? Like the one in this image?

The clock would be sweet too :D
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
You mean for the weather? If you know where to find the complete weather graphics set I can surely build a skin for BW/FW.

EDIT: it won't be that large though... BW and FW do not have such a large weather widget.

About the clock, it looks quite simple: I'm sure in BW skin market there's something like that already available ;)
[Android Themes] milanso:
No need for it to be that large anyway :) Here's the res folder from the original weather apk:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27818148/padfone weather res folder.zip

Thx in advance, and I'll try and find that clock widget in the meantime :fingers-crossed:
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
Uhm.... looks like there could be a problem... those graphics do

not

have night-weather images... :eek:

Night-pics are required to compile the skins. I could duplicate the day images and use them for the night as well, but it would look kinda weird, like sunny, partially sunny and mostly cloudy drawn with the sun even in the middle of the night... :silly:
[Android Themes] milanso:
I guess there are no night weather icons, just searched for the issue on the forums. Anyway, I won't mind if you just duplicate the daytime icons :)
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
ok, I'll see to it ;)
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:

I was wondering if you'd be willing to make the pink chowchow clock without the chowchows on it, for a stay at home mom who loves to customize her phone . I really love the color pink and would like to use that clock on my home screen to add to the rest of my pink icons and widgets. I really appreciate all the work you do with the clock widgets and I've been a fan for a very long time.

[Android Themes] MarcusOptimus:
Hi Vostradamus and thanks for your beautiful skins. :)

I want ask you if you can create the skins like the Galaxy SIII and Optimus Black weather widget for Beautiful Widgets.

Would be much appreciated if you can.

Thanks again for the great work that you do.

I attach the images as example:

http://st.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/lg-optimus-black/review/sshots/gsmarena_002.jpg

http://www.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/gs3.jpg
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
Hi, and thanks for appreciating my skins! :)

About the examples you posted:

does the whole background image change according to the weather? If it does, then I'm afraid it can't be done 'cause neither beautiful widgets nor fancy widgets support a weather skin as large as the whole widget... in both of them the weather icon is just a fraction of the widget, and can't go "behind everything" to work as a background. :(

What's more, the first example also has another detail that can't be done: the clock digits are in perspective, and again neither BW nor FW can do that... :(

EDIT: you could take a look at "go weather" though... I think I remember it's somehow a bit along those lines.... ;)

EDIT 2: oh... and of course it's free :p ;)
[Android Themes] MarcusOptimus:
Thanks for reply.

Yes I know that some features are impossible to reproduce and of course we can not have. What I mean is to have a skin that looks most like the one of the two. If miss some features does nothing.

I know that changing background image is not supported by BW and does nothing.

It is okay the static image of the day.

I do not know if you have tried Go Weather with LG skin. That 's what I mean.

It is not really the same for some application limits, but is very similar.

Can you try it?

Thank you Vostradamus! :)

I attach the LG skin of Go Weather as example:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediawoz.goweather.lgstyle&hl=it
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
The problem is: to do something remotely similar to that, we would need an option to draw the full weather icon somewhere in the upper-right corner of the widget and the clock at mid-height on the left side .

BW can only place the weather on the upper right corner by making it huge and showing only a part of the weather icon (and that "cut" would result kinda ugly in this case), plus the clock in this kind of layout would remain centered instead of on the left side, again making the whole thing look kinda awful. :(

Unfortunately, it seems that BW (and FW too for that matter) is just not designed to reproduce something like that... The best chance to have that kind of layout is still using go weather. Yep, it does not have the whole set of options BW does, but luckily it works quite fine nonetheless :)
[Android Themes] trees247:
can you do a weather skin with the new Google Now icons?
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
I think there are 2 or 3 google now weather skins already available on BW... saw them this morning on their web market. :)

The names should be:

- "gNow-v1" by nuno_mdj

- "GoogleNow" by dp917

I think I also saw another one somewhere, but I don't remember where exactly :p
[Android Themes] TheWeasl:
is there any way you can do the google now weather icons in a black an white style? cuz you know i'm a black fetishist man :D

[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
I can give it a try tomorrow (not gonna be at home this evening), but I'm not sure what could come out of it... the icons I've seen do not really seem too suitable for plain black and white style... the sun for example would turn out to be a solid white circle.... kinda ugly if you ask me :p
[Android Themes] TheWeasl:
come on... you is the skinman... you's got what it takes to make a fine skin outta these ;)

[Android Themes] saul1991:
can you port them to fancy widgets? i tried adding them to the clockskin folder in fancy widgets and they dont show up.,.....
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
Sure I could, but before doing it I would need you to ask the original authors for their permission.... wouldn't be polite otherwise ;)

Should you wanna try doing the porting yourself, know that porting a weather skin from BW to FW does not require too much work, just renaming a couple images and changing a couple lines in the txt file...

- weather_cloudyrain and weather_cloudyrain_n need to become weather_chancerain and weather_chancerain_n

- in the txt file, "skinname", "author", "url" and "donate" need to become "title", "developer", "website" and "donation"

also, you wrote you tried placing the skin inside "clockskin", but it's a

weather

skin.... so you placed it in the wrong folder :p
[Android Themes] saul1991:
thanks dude i got it working i got the clock and weather skin working:good:

I make my own weather skin and put it in the same folder than yours but it don't appears when I want to change skin.

Same problem with clock skin. Is cskins the right name for it ?
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
weather skins should be placed inside

data\beautifulwidgets\wskins\<skin name>

so if you placed it in there it should be fine

also, the folder name for the skin must match the txt file and the preview jpg file, so if you have your skin in

data\beautifulwidgets\wskins\myWeatherSkin

you will also need myWeatherSkin.txt and myWeatherSkin.jpg inside that folder together with the actual weather graphics

"normal" clock skins (i.e. non-superclock skins) should be inside

data\beautifulwidgets\skins

Same rule about txt and jpg files of course applies to clocks too
[Android Themes] ghenarys:
OK ! I'll try but before, I have to make my jpg file.
[Android Themes] ghenarys:
Can you, please, explain me what's the difference between clock ans superclok ?
[Android Themes] Vostradamus:
On the skin side, superclock skins have a background made to be stretched. I'm sure there are other differences too, but I haven't looked at it in details yet 'cause so far the normal clock has had anything I need :P

Sooner or later I'll take a deeper look at it, but so far that's pretty much what I can say :P
