Widths can be tricky you have to set it up with the longest string in mind. Also, remember to be clever with your anchors.

@thubalek

Perhaps an answer could be to show the longest possible string during widget creation, instead of showing the current time, day, & date.

For example always show the day of the week as wednesday, and the month as september. Just an idea. :-)

Anyway, loving this widget.

Latest screen shot

Sent from my HTC Vision using the power if mental thinking!
[Android Apps and Games] 71baker:
Nice idea but hard to implement i think.

Wednesday isnt always the longest string depending on language and so on.

Wednesday in Swedish for instance is Onsdag Thursday is longer with Torsdag (than Wednesday)

In German Thursday is Donnerstag and Wednesday is Mittwoch.

Think about the possibilities with all the locales. :)

I think this will have to be up to the creator of the clock actually. But surely Thubalek can help this process and the work so far shows, in my opinion, that he knows how to do it. It is up to us to give feedback to get it to perfection.

On that note: In the future if possible i would very much like to see the possibility to be able to put an anchorpoint in the widget itself.

Lets say i want to make a widget that is centered. It would make sense to be able to set anchorpoint in the middle of the widget , then a clock with anchor at bottom middle, position at x=0 y=+10 for instance. a Line at x=0 y=0 (and with anchor in the middle , resizing 'grows' from the middle)

Then Date would have an anchor on top middle and positioned at x=0 y=-10.

I understand this might not be a small feat to push through, but it would be very good to work with.
[Android Apps and Games] Trainer#1:
@71baker

Good point about languages. Classic stereotypical mistake by a US citizen on my part. :-)

As for anchors, what would be the advantage of anchoring the entire widget? If that is what you are asking for and I didn't misunderstand.

Sense we can already anchor each part in the middle individually, I'm not seeing the advantage to applying an anchor to the full widget. Maybe a screen shot of what you're attempting would help.
[Android Apps and Games] Zudovex:
Wow Tom, great work. For being only your 3rd beta this is truly amazing. When the full version comes out I would gladly pay 2$ on the market for this. I'm using a Droid X and so far no issues whatsoever. I love that i can make a clock to match my home screen. Since you asked for suggestions here's mine...(some might be covered already, I just found this thread about an hour ago and am just reading all the posts now)

More font choices, maybe a font folder where you can use your own fonts

More effects for fonts like stoke & bevel

Item selector in the editor - a dropdown menu of the items you already have used. This is not that big of a deal since you can lock the items but would make it easier for selecting small items like the am/pm or dots

I'm not at all trying to nit pick, just giving input like you asked. Again, props on a great app. I'll post again if I notice any glitches.

Here's a pic of my home screen. I might need to shrink the clock text a bit, I'll find out at 10 but I did make sure to put the anchor on the right side.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
Not sure, about the rest of your suggestions, but this one he said is coming in a future beta :)

I like the idea of a dropdown of all added items, that might be better then my thought of having them scrollable... though he didn't say how he would implement it yet (i don't think anyway.)
[Android Apps and Games] 71baker:
Maybe it's just my ocd but if you had a 'zero point' in the middle of the widget everything would 'line up' to that. Easier to get everything neat and tidy. Then again , since it is Truetype fonts fo the most part it will probably not line up anyway.

I got this idea from when i used Discordmods for World of Warcraft. This kinda stuff made it easier to make pixel perfect setups. In that mod there was also an anchor point for everything , but you could also set an 'anchor to' point for everything. So on a clock you could anchor to upper left for instance, and then tell everything else to anchor to upper right.

It's probably too much work to implement to be worthwhile anyways though.
[Android Apps and Games] Rommin:
Funny! I'm an old Discord user too. I wonder how many of us are as this app does indeed appeal to the type of person that wants it -exactly- like they want it :D
[Android Apps and Games] 71baker:
:D Cool. I love , really love the finetuning you get with the adjustment buttons.

It's gonna be so nice when the widgetsharing starts to work. This is to my knowledge the most configurable clock available. And it is still beta!! :eek:

Any plans in the distant future to add some system info? Like battery percent and such? Would be great. Weather i can do without. It's hard (i imagine) to settle with a weatherprovider since they are very regional imo. I would rather use a standalone that is developed near to where i live. But Battery level and maybe signal level would be cool.
[Android Apps and Games] Computer Dreams:
very cool app, i just posted it on my site

http://computer-dreams.com/2011/02/make-your-own-clock-widget-android-app-download/
[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
Saw this over on Goodandevo and immediately downloaded it to my EVO. Just what I've been wanting for a long time. Fantastic work on the editor and all the options. All my future wants have been answered in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Trainer#1:
@71baker

The plan is for battery info and weather. Im looking forward to both!

Signal could be interesting as no clock offers that. And your pixel perfect suggestion would be fun as well. And what about the addition of dithering? Fading from one color to another would be cool.

One cool thing I'd love added is found in Minimalistic Text Widget. Its called "time addition", and it lists what part of the day it is like dawn, morning, midday, afternoon, dusk, night. Its more fun than am/pm. Of course I don't know how many people would use it besides me.
[Android Apps and Games] skateaholic247:
amazing clock app, thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
App is great. One thing missing. Alarm Time Object.

Hello, I just made short training video of beta4

[YOUTUBE]YeTPXX7ZVOQ[/YOUTUBE]
[Android Apps and Games] rfarrah:
Thanks! Looking forward to Beta 4 release.
[Android Apps and Games] Gx3:
sorry for the delay..
[Android Apps and Games] oz238:
Cant wait.. u can share templates now! wow...this app is freakin so bad ass...great job
[Android Apps and Games] novakov_n:
THE BEST app i have ever use thanks !!! Soon will post my screenshots :)
[Android Apps and Games] Fekish:
Hello,

thanks for the great applications.

Two comments:

- wished there were larger available font size. I want my clock to be as large as possible!

- Also it would be nice to have a custom text addition in the options

- Minute of the day -> can it be "02" instead of "2" ?
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Leading zero can be adjusted in Format tab. Other suggestions will be implemented sooner our later.
[Android Apps and Games] n4rrOx:
@thubalek

First of all, you made one of the best clock widgets!!

when do you release Beta4?

Btw I have some suggestions:

+ custom text variable

+ shadow options like Minimalistic Text (radius, offset, color etc.)

+ Blur options like Minimalistic Text (color, size, style etc.)

+ rotation of text by angle

+ custom font selection

+ loading of custom pics

And I found one Bug:

1. Select "Long date"

2. Navigate to "Format"

3. Select "First Letter Uppercase"

=> It displays "14. februar 2011" instead of "14. Februar 2011" (First letter isn't uppercase).

Thanks again for this amazing clock widget!
[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
Select the minutes and then hit the format button. It lets you format it with a leading zero.
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Hello, beta4 is on Android Market - https://market.android.com/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock

Enjoy

Tom
[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
Beta4 is working great so far. Love the new selection tool. I'm mostly making 2x1 clocks so hitting small items with my fat fingers was quite a challenge but now it's simple.

Keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] sleepyfu:
this widget is awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
Also, thanks for adding the "Please wait..." message when selecting which app opens when you add the widgets to the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] kobzarcheg:
may be someone can add screenshot to this post ?
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
You can find some screenshots at http://www.makeyourclock.com
[Android Apps and Games] Gx3:
suggestions

add transparency and blurring slider for objects / text

ability to add custom pngs

this should be simple to implement
[Android Apps and Games] n4rrOx:
Is it possible to strech the widget over the full width?

It looks a bit weird, if you add an semitransparent background and the widget doesn't fit the screen.

And could it be possible to resize the widgets?

So we just need the aspect ratio for widgets and can resize them from 2x1 to 4x2, etc.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] migmeil:
would be nice if they could resize the size you want, because time is usually a bit smaller.
[Android Apps and Games] uncletaz:
A good widget!

Some suggestions:

- as said above, support to add your own pictures (png)

- more shapes

- Custom text support (so you can put e.g. "week" before the weeknumber)

Thanks! Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] edboyww:
Wonderful app! Wonderful, wonderful! Thanks!

People, someone mentioned there is no use for 3x widgets. He is not right. You can make a beautiful clock with a 3x1 widget and a simiClock Weather widget, I just did it, looks AWSM :)

Idea: I didn't see anyone mention custom background color for the widget. Is it possible in future releases? (Hint: if it came in some kind of premium, I would buy it :) )
[Android Apps and Games] chmura:
Great app! Thanks!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Little Dragon:
Im requesting an option where nothing happens when you click on the widget

Also, where are all the creations in the gallery?? Was expecting to see a lot more
[Android Apps and Games] n4rrOx:
Add a Rectangle and set the width and height to max.

After that push it down in the Z-order.

Now you can set color and transparency.
[Android Apps and Games] Harry_79:
thanks man really cool app
[Android Apps and Games] edboyww:
Thanks for the help (I've found it), but the background wont stretch to a full one-icon with or height, so it looks funny.

Still, great app!

(Tip for others: You can set the transparency, if you tap the color square aftre you chose it below.)
[Android Apps and Games] jdkoren:
How about adding a text object that the user can set? This would allow any word or symbol as part of the design of the clock, and it could potentially replace all those different separators (and any future ones) so the object list isn't super long.
[Android Apps and Games] ziggy34:
I'll be honest, I just found this app and have not read all the threads. But I will ask about this anyways.

Would it be possible to some how when you are moving things on the screen, have the edit area take up more of the screen area, then have a button to go back to the smaller view to select other options.

Hope that makes sense.

Also would like to see more widget sizes, was trying to recreate the Cowon clock, but need 3 row by 2 col.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
Was coming to the thread to ask for a comma separator, but this makes much more sense!
[Android Apps and Games] Poloki:
Love this app! I now feel like I am creating my own app!

Just one request, not sure if it's been asked. Can the numbers have text option for format as well? For example I'd like to format so that it reads"

ten twenty three am

february seventeenth, twenty eleven​

I love my minimalistic text!

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Chrono_Tata:
Here's a new idea I had: how about being able to add times from different time zones so that we can make world clocks or duel clocks. Also of course option to add static texts so we can write the name of the time zones and other stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] akastixx:
that looks pretty cool! i stumbled upon this looking for a "make your own picture frame" app with no luck so far. good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] Kickface:
I haven't downloaded it yet, but from the screenshots, it looks like a really clean-cut editor - no useless wankery. It's a nice change from the default Clockopia font and placement of the clock.

I'll be downloading it and giving it a test run later on tonight. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] fansvictor:
It doesnt work for me!

nothing happens when i select the widget (make your clock (2x1) and the rest)

I have a SGS

Ive tested on a HTC desire and works well
[Android Apps and Games] error404:
Sizes.

It's a great app, but i think it could have more sizes, 2 columns and 3 rows, for example. Is it possible use another fonts?
[Android Apps and Games] Panda413:
I'm using 'Smart Shortcuts' app.

I have a shortcut folder 'tools' and placed the MYC Editor inside.

When I updated MYC, it is now just one icon, not two. The two icons in my app drawer were replaced by the one new icon titled 'make your clock'. However, the MYC Editor icon is still inside my 'tools' shortcut. Long press does nothing. I opened the Smart Shortcuts app, went to the tools shortcut to edit it from there, the MYC Editor is not listed. Clicking the icon inside the shortcut from the home screen results in a popup reading 'application can not be launched'.

So it seems the previous 'editor' application is gone and replaced with the new update, however the icon is still there. The icon is not in my app drawer, just my 'tools' shortcut create through Smart Shortcuts.

Any tips on how to remove this icon?

[Android Apps and Games] cs_sux:
Great work!

Very nice widget, but it is hard to pick colors. Could you attach this Color picker
[Android Apps and Games] Adien:
The last update (Beta 4) is really nice !

Could you make the widget fit to the borders of the grid (or the screen)? For example, the 4x2 widget put on the top of the screen may touch the notification bar and the left and right borders.

Great work, great widget !
[Android Apps and Games] dreamstryder:
I love the way this looks and officialy hate the developer for the hours I have spent tweaking different clock setups goofing around with this thing!!!! :)

Only one major problem for me is the clock doesnt update.... but its probably because I am running android 1.6 on this Zio....... other then that everything else as far as the graphics and changing things around to even launching apps when you click it works great!
[Android Apps and Games] vagyula:
Great app.Works Perfectly on my SGS.
[Android Apps and Games] zkibz:
How can we add more font style?
[Android Apps and Games] dreamstryder:
hrmmmm.... well I have updated my Zio to 2.21 and reinstalled make your own clock.... it still doesnt want to update the time correctly..... for example its currently reading 5:43 am instead of 9:15 am...... am I the only one thats having this problem?????
[Android Apps and Games] jdkoren:
I have a thought about custom fonts and being able to share designs. What if the editor had an option to embed any fonts used in the template? The template and the fonts would be packaged and transferred together. If a user downloads and tries to use a template that has a font attached, offer to install the new font file(s). (Will this work on non-rooted devices?)

(Microsoft Office products have an option to embed any used fonts when you save the file. Then if the file gets transferred to a computer that doesn't have all those fonts, the file can still be viewed and edited.)
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Really a nice widget!

I'm trying to make a widget which looks like the clock of the original Gingerbread clock app and lock screen. At the moment this is not possible (!), because the editor doesn't offer the needed date string.

-> It should be possible to add a string where the user can define the date format like this:

dddd, dd. MMMM

And: An item for the next alarm time would really be nice! For a clock this is more important than weather or battery info.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
So after looking at the future additions listed in this newest update (weather, moon phase, etc) I'm wondering if you should change the name of the app to "make your widget" and then shorten it even further to "M.Y.Widget" pronounced my widget.

Just an idea, feel free to use or ignore it :)

And if you do use it, you don't even have to give me credit ;)

Edit : why do You not have a donate feature, this is One of the best apps available?
[Android Apps and Games] dreamstryder:
M.Y. Widget or M.Y. Clock would be an awsome short name for this thing!!!

BTW the update today is working PERFECT now!!!!!!! time is synced all proper now!!!! I love this thing!
[Android Apps and Games] anoneemooz:
Hey!

I'm having difficulty with your widget..everything works fine except for color picking..whenever I try to pick a color, everything just resets to a previously saved state of the widget (or blank if it isn't an already saved widget template). This happens whether or not I change anything, whether I press Okay or Cancel or just back out of it... it's extremely annoying that I can't change color or transparency due to this bug.. Please look into it..
[Android Apps and Games] QLit-HD2:
Thanks for the update...!

Still using your widget over the HTC sence one
[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
Still working great, just got the latest update.

One thing I keep doing wrong though, I accidentally hit the back button in the middle of editing a design and It doesn't ask if I want to save the changes, just goes back to the main screen. I know I shouldn't be doing that but it's bad habit.
[Android Apps and Games] akanitnuu:
ํYes... same me

I need a new custom font
[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
For those people with clocks that use words instead of numbers, how are minutes below 10 handled? Especially zero.

For instance, how is 10:00 shown? This is what I'm experiencing with this widget.

10:00 = ten zero

10:01 = ten one

10:10 = ten ten

The first two are awkard but after 10 minutes, it's fine. Doesn't bother me too much but just curious how other word clocks do it. I guess I can download some and see what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
The new custom dates are really great! But now the string formattings need to be changed. "First Letter Uppercase" just changes the first letter of the first word to uppercase. All other words are lowercase.
[Android Apps and Games] inkozikaas:
Imo this is one of the best Android app.

Many thanks and respect to the developer.

Thanks for your hard work buddy.
[Android Apps and Games] .Neo:

[Android Apps and Games] tuxor1337:
There was an update to this app over the market today. I'm running BETA6 now, but it seems like the "time" often doesn't refresh. Sometimes it's more than an hour behind. Will try a bit with restarting the phone and removing the widget and adding again and report back later, whether I could fix this.

Oh and of course, I agree with the laud here :) Great app! Maybe the most astonishing app on the market.

After a reboot, everything seems to be OK again. But perhaps the problem will reappear later - still don't know what triggered it in the first place.
[Android Apps and Games] mjharis:
Really nice app :D

[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
After using the word clock for a few days and installing Clockr to see how they do it, I'd suggest offering the minutes under 10 with a leading "o'":

0 = o'clock

1 = o'one

2 = o'two

3 = o'three

4 = o'four

5 = o'five

6 = o'six

7 = o'seven

8 = o'eight

9 = o'nine

I think the upper case version would be "O'Clock".

Some people might like the existing format especially if they're putting the minutes before the hour such as "one before nine" for 9:01.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
i would like to be able to share my clock, how can I do this? I have a person asking me for it, and I have no idea how to do it. This is my lockscreen with the clock I'd like to share:

How about a new word number format for dates like "first" instead of "one" or "seventh" instead of "seven"? Would be useful for word clocks.
[Android Apps and Games] PSeeCO:
Hi, just downloaded from market, i think it's a really cool app, but i have a problem, i can't change font color, i can only choose from the six suggested!
[Android Apps and Games] NicksGarage:
You should be able to change the color. It's not intuitive at first.

1. Hit the "Color" button

2. Tap on the square next to where it says "Click on Rectangle..."

3. It starts out as white which is actually a lack of color.

4. Slide the "Hue" slider over until it is under the color you want on the scale.

5. Slide the "Saturation" slider over to bring the color up to the level you want.

6. Adjust the other two sliders to get what you want.

To get black, slide the "Brightness" slider all the way to zero.

White is Hue at zero, Saturation at zero and Brightness at 100.

Great widget.

Been looking for a clock that matches my taste for ages..unsuccessfully. Until now that is.

Can't wait for a weather widget version. I have given you a small donation to support you (6BF5226739120032E).
[Android Apps and Games] andytsui:
I actually have similar idea, but for analog clock (and too lazy to really start to work on it). But your execution of Digital clock is far better than mine. Good work!
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I am getting a lot of alerts in my status bar that an application needs attention, when I click on it I am told that Make Your Clock Widget has encountered an error and has to close - yet my widgets remain on the screen just fine. I have sent along theerror messages. This is happening after I updated to Serendipity 6.2, which is based on JS7, not JS5.
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Great new update. I already purchased the Pro version. But I have some comments:

- It would be nice if the automatic weather update could be disabled completely. I don't need it at the moment.

- It would be nice if the "On Click" app would be remembered. On German devices the clock app is nearly at the end of the list (it is called "Uhr") and it is annoying to have to scroll through the whole list every time...

- And I am still waiting for an alarm clock item. For me this is more important than weather or battery items.
