Watermark are a good idea, but users probably don't like the idea of a watermark on the skin. I think most uccw skins creators can say they can spot their own work, even after modification... I know I can.

@the1dynasty, I agree with the sentiments behind keeping uccw skins free, but think you found the worst way possible of making your point. Saying these skins take no time to make is spitting in the face of everyone who's shared a piece of art in here for you to loot. It's your kind of entitled behavior that leeches the creativity out of talented themers and developers.

Whether you agree with someone offering a skin for a price or not, their time is important... If they choose to charge a small amount for it then deal with it or choose another skin.
[Android Themes] jugg1es:
I would like to thank you all for the time you've put into these skins. I don't have the time or patients any more. I play with all your skins when I get the time it's not easy in a small screen. I don't think I could share anything I've done without asking,I certainly wouldn't put them in the store. So whatever you all decide to do with your skins I respect that. :thumbup:

I'm your huckleberry

We didn't have these problems till the apk option existed. That has become the "ultimate issue". This app is no longer ultimate clock widget as you can't edit/modify apks. You have users stealing work and putting it on the Play store where before that incentive wasn't there. People aren't freely sharing their work now because they want to make money themselves (their choice if they want to) or because people steal it to make money.

Sadly UCCW seems to be on a downward trend to me. If I see it in an apk version I don't even bother no matter how beautiful the clock or widget. Apk versions fail for me many times and not being able to modify it make it even worse.

I only see thanks improving if the original dev removes the apk option. :(

I do really appreciate the people who have kindly shared their work as I do have some beautiful clock widgets I use. I always try to point back to the original theme dev, if I remember, but if not...I never take credit for it. Simply stating it was found in XDA thread.

Does anyone have this one laying around in their stash?

Thanx in Advance
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
I know all about what it takes to make these skins... I have 24 themes on the play store myself... that is time/work which is why half of them are free and half are paid...

To make the skin I requested does NOT take much time... maybe 10mins if you're ok at this stuff... I respect anyone that charges for their own work... but just as it was mentioned, he started charging because people were stealing his hard work, modifying it a bit and selling it as theirs... he just did exactly that with Google's new clock image... doesn't matter if the image was made from scratch and in fact that would turn someone like me away just because i know its not even the real stock clock..its his own version of it which isn't what was requested...

I reply to a themer the exact same way when they try to charge for a theme they make that has little to no real effort/work in it... stuff like changing colors from ICS blue to holo green isn't time consuming to do, its a simple batch edit process that literally can be done in about 30mins for a complete theme... yeah it takes some time, but there's no real effort in there and IMHO, shouldn't be supported...

With that, I'm very appreciative of there skins that are shared... but just as my apps on the store can be pirated and given away for free, skins on here can be pirated and sold on the store... my only suggesting would be to make a free and donate version of that skin that way you have grounds to report it if someone steals your work... or just get everyone to report that stuff on the store and hope Google takes action!!

[Android Themes] darthhomer:
I understand, I'm new to this whole UCCW thing. Im playing around with it, but honestly(dont laugh) my 42 year old brain is having a hard time figuring this out. Can you do it in gimp or just on your phone? I'll make that skin my first attempt. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[Android Themes] jugg1es:
You can use gimp to make .png images to use in uccw you don't have to use the the app. As long as you save your images add a png you can add them to your clock from the menus

I'm your huckleberry
[Android Themes] azaberl:
Let me give you a hand:

- create new empty skin

- set background size (use your phone horizontal resolution for background width), 100px-150px should be enough for height

- add shape - rectangle - color black, you can use some transparency (alpha)

- add time, choose dot (.) as seperator

- add date, choose format, align right

UCCW is really simple to use once you figure out what are different items are for - just experiment.
[Android Themes] Slymobi:
wow here we go again......

i will only speak for myself on this issue. ive been around from virtually day 1 of uccw,ive donated generously to vineet and ive shared nearly every single skin ive made freely in 1 format or another. i upload my skins to play too and charge for the ones i spent my time making or feel are worthy of a charge (donate). Vineet has progressed this app for EVERYBODY to be able to make apk versions applicable for the play store and for ANYBODY to try and benefit from it and i applaud vin for this unselfish approach. I dont see why certain members have a major issue with others choosing to utilize this feature. As for the stealing and copying etc etc ive said it before so i will say it again,by sharing your work i think its inevitable that its going to get used or copied and that if you have a problem with this then simply DONT share anything. I personally dont care if people use my work and honestly giggle with a little proudness when i see what someone else has been able to do with it. Im no masterpiece creater but always try and Gimp my own images etc and have replicated some work too and would never think about adding watermarks with my name on due to this most likely putting people off even more (just like i wont where underwear with other peoples names on lol) I always give credit when ive used something from someone else or try my hardest too, my sdcard was over 6gb in random images in the past which made it hard to know what was from where but now only contains my own work totally except wallpapers.

my point of this ramble is simply enjoy what is being created whatever format,if its a paid version and you can get it free then BONUS :) but you must remember that outside of xda people still exsist and they may only get to see skins on playstore and are not aware of xda where You get most of the skins created handed to you on a plate but still choose to complain.

I think jealousy has a major factor in this immature moaning of skin formats.

STOP SEGREGATING UCCW SKINS.

just saying and dont want to offend or debate.

peace to everyone :thumbup:

phew....... essay finished lol.
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
Well put... I was just stating that i know what goes into this stuff and what is something people spent time on or just threw together... with that, i realized that i could've just extracted the stock from the apk and made this directly on my phone... I'm not sure why i thought i would need a computer for this one... but it's all good now...

With that said, i modded the modified one i had posted earlier and here it is... http://db.tt/1TmG4kN5

I'm just saying that it takes me 2 hours what would take you 30 mins to put together. So not sure if that's a fair statement. I'm not a graphics guy whatsoever.

Anyways let's get back to business.
[Android Themes] bagarwa:
1. I didn't see if you had requested it. I just made it. So, I wasn't holding you hostage - if you want it, buy it.

2. I didn't 'start' charging 'coz others were stealing. I always charged for my work on play store. And I always shared the same work for free here at xda. What changed yesterday is, I stopped sharing the free version; as that is easy to steal. You get the apk in hand and can modify it anyway you want. If you download from play store, you need to know how to modify that. That's much more tricky and not everyone's cup of tea. And because I stopped sharing the free version, I didn't give a link to the paid version either.

3. And per your logic, seeing something and creating that from scratch is exactly same as stealing something and modifying it a bit? I see the nexus 4 clock on Google and I created it from scratch. It is same as downloading someone's nexus4 skin and modifying the png? Seriously?
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
Not that serious guy... as you can see above... i got the one i requested... maybe even better than the one i asked for... your post with the 4.2 clock came right after my post so i assumed you took my request and made it, then said it was on the spore for download... my apologies for the confusion...

I'm gonna play with another idea/spin on this skin that I'll share if i get it done...

Paid work police

I see there's some kind of controversy going on here and a few other places with regards to advertising paid work here on XDA. Basically you don't post here with the goal of making money. You may mention a paid "donate" version in your thread for the 100% free XDA version. You can link to that thread in your signature, but not directly to the Play Store. All of you need to keep this in mind going forward. If you have advertisements within posts, remove them, or, as they're reported, I'll be removing the links. Anyone who purposefully ignores this policy will earn an infraction against their account. Thank you for your future cooperation.
[Android Themes] th3taman:
I really liked KGill's Board Skin. Even though I've had issues with installing apks in the past I bought it. I go to try and apply it and it's not in my list? I figure, I will uninstall UCCW and reinstall to see if that fixes the issue. Still can't find the Board skin??? :confused:

I removed the skin via Manage Apps to try and install again. Didn't realize it issued refund that way. Before buying again, anybody have any ideas on why the apk wouldn't display in my list when applying a new apk skin? I followed directions that Kgill gives in the Play store. Just never see it there to apply. And yes...I"ve used UCCW for a long time and no how to use it...just frustrated as I've had this issue before not being able to see the apk skins.

EDIT: I was able to find another apk install it...but it has Celsius temps...guessing no way to change that? :(
[Android Themes] bagarwa:
Themes / Skins purchased from play store on jelly bean devices have that problem of 'not showing up'. Use Titanium Backup to backup and restore those apps and they will show up.

To change the temperature from C to F, open uccw app, tap menu, tap settings. 3rd option from top is Celsius. Uncheck that and you'll get temperature in F.

uzip files

I can't get uzip files to do anything. One guy said change their name to .zip and then unzip them, and that worked on some, but others like sprayed.uzip, black_pink.uzip, classy.uzip don't work that way. I tried putting them in my ultimatecustomclockwidget folder and when I go to "import" it doesn't see them. I must be doing something wrong but haven't figured out what. Anybody? Also there have been a lot of zip files that don't unzip like HoloclockICS.zip, uccwclocks.zip, dusk_batterybar.zip, classicpictureframe.zip, etc. And there's been a few zip files that require a password to unzip. Come on guys, let's be careful what we upload so others can use it without a lot of problems. I assume some of the problems I'm having is that I just don't know where to put the files so the widget can read them? How about the developer putting stickies at the beginning of this thread that spell out the exact steps to do some of these things as it's now gotten to be too big of chore to look through over 100 pages for answers that have been posted already. Thanks guys. Great Widget!

[Android Themes] vineetksirohi:
The main problem is xda doesn't let us upload .uzip files. So people are zipping them and then uploading - leading to confusion. So if somebody knows how to ask xda to accept uzip files please request xda to do it asap.

Or

just put uzip files in your dropbox or box accounts and then share the links.

Or

rename example_file.uzip to example_file.zip and mention while uploading that users have to rename it back to example_file.uzip.

Note: Some file managers like astro in android can't see uzip files. File managers that work are File manager, Root explorer, Androzip etc.

I also took blackbearblancs glass clock and added some rounded corners to the thing. After you unzip the file, move the file to your uccw folder. Place widget on home screen, tap widget to open, click settings, click open skin option, profit. Hope this works with the new update.

Sorry, but I'm not using the shadow in the widget. I'm running sweeterhome launcher which allows me to place any image/widget/text anywhere I want on the screen and resize it however I want. Attaching the shadow .png, not sure it will, but you can try to make it work as a background.
