[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
Are you a fan of GO Widgets? Me too. Interested in making some skins/ themes for them? So am I.

Section 1: Theme Maker and Instructions

The GO Team has put together a theme maker and some instructions from this thread:

v1 Template

v1 Instructions

v1 Template Mirror - Mediafire

Section 2: Adding Additional Widgets

The Widget theme maker v1 contains the following widgets: Bookmark, Caldendar, Contacts, Facebook, SMS, Switch, Task Manager, Twitter and Weibo.

But as you know, there are more GO widgets. Here is how to include them in your theme (basically, I decompiled their transparent theme and Frankensteined it all together). Note: I don't know how to skin the clock yet - anyeone else???
