Long pressing on the home screen brings up a number of options, including a list of widgets available to load. Does anybody know of a way to edit the widget list? For example, delete some unwanted widgets?

If you dont want them why not remove them from the system then?
Most widgets should be safe to remove as far as i know
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk
For example, I have the Hero Clocks installed, which places 40 clock widgets in the widget list. I don't like about 25 of them, but I want to keep the others.
Or another example, if I wanted to keep the Weatherbug app, but don't like or use the widget, how would I uninstall the widget but keep the app?

I have Sticky Note widget app. I wanted to create a shortcut to it as opposed to press and hold the screen, choose widgets, scroll down to the app.
thanks

What? You don't run widgets, you add them to your home screen by pressing and hold the screen, choose widgets, scroll down to the app.
I am sure he knows how to access a widget. What he wants is to be able to open a note with a single press. I agree, the way you have to do it now is too bulky for use with note type widgets.
I swear the way you access a widget is a effectively a shortcut...
i was pretty sure a widget was basicly a shortcut....kinda confused by ur post...
If you try the sticky note app, it creates sticky notes on the desktop. To create a new one, you have to go through the widget list. Essentially want I want is an application shortcut that runs the widget
I don't think there is any way to do that (as far as I know).
Maybe someone else does...
So, I really like the Dell Stage launcher, but I dont want the widgets. I know I can just not install the seperate .apk's..but then that leaves an empty submenu for adding a widget. So I was wondering if its possible to change that, so when I hit add to homescreen..itll say widget, wallpaper, folder..etc. and now widget..stage widgets..etc.
so being new to android, i find this weird lol. so widgets are only available for apps that you have correct? and you can place either widgets or the app icon on the home screens?
also how do i resize widgets? i've pressed and held on the widget and the only options available are to drag somewhere else.
Pretty much. Note that some widgets are not resizable.

Unless you use a third-party launcher such as Nova and Apex that allows you to resize widgets that are normally not re sizable.
Being able to resize a widget depends upon if that function was added by the developer. Most of the widgets supplied with Android Pro Widgets (paid version not sure about free) are resizeable by long pressing them.

Not all apps have a widget, and keep in mind that some widgets use more battery based on how often they sync
I've just purchased TSF Shell and I really like it. Does the default TSF Shell come with what I need to make my own themes? Also, the notifier is not working so I uninstalled it, but it has left a "2" notification on my Gmail that I can't get rid of. Any idea how to reset that icon? I tried clearing the data on it but that didn't do anything more than force a re-download of my mail, and I tried redesigning the icon, but again, no change in the false notifier.
Lastly, for now, I use aCalendar+ but when I put a 4x4 widget on the screen, the font is so small there is no way I'll read it. When I tap it, it opens up to a readable page, but it's not very helpful in widget mode. What is a great calendar I can use that will take an entire "page"?
Any other TSF tips would be awesome.
Thanks!
So I'm trying to open a widget from a widget, here's what I'm working with. For the Harmony icons, I want to be able to tap them and have them open up another window that shows all the activities that are on that hub, with a different icon for the current activity. I can't seem to find a way to open another widget from tapping on one of them, is it possible? I've also played with trying to set up a Tasker Scene, but it doesn't seem like I can change icons in there. Thoughts?

You might want to look into Elixir2 Widget and Overlays.
