Transparent Facebook Widget, not morph

I was wondering does anyone know of a facebook widget that is transparent or a way to make it transparent.
I've seen quite a few on here but they're all for MetaMorph and to my understanding morph wont work on a desire because it needs r/w access.
I attached an example of the facebook widget

That guy is so full of ****. He's on a date and loving it, yet he's updating his facebook instead of.. being with his date? Pssh.
That was a stealth bump btw, since I'd also like that.

eh? when did I ever mention that I update my status every second of every day all I want it for is because it looks nicer than the origonal widget.

That guy. You are not that guy (whose twitter feed is shown in the screenshot). I came to this conclusion based on the fact that you said that was for MetaMorph, and you are of the opinion that it does not work on Desires, and you have a desire.

lol my bad, I feel like such a tool now.

It's okay. Tools are useful! Bumpity bump.

Pure messenger has loads of themes available, I used to use a transparent one as I liked the style too. The only downside to Pure Messenger is that it doesn't scroll like the Sense one - you have to scroll up/down with arrow buttons on the widget.

I went for Pure messenger and it's awesome thanks.

Calendar Widgets

Any good calendar Widgets that display your upcoming events similar to the sense based Widgets?

i dont know

smooth calendar

I've tried most of them. My favorites are:
Free - Android Agenda Widget
Paid - Pure Calendar Widget
Pure Calendar Widget I think is the best but it cost a couple dollars.

+1 smooth calendar

Smooth calendar is the best for me...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I have also tried them all. I prefer Simple Calendar Widget for the next appointment view and then Launcher Pro for the agenda view.

Pure Calendar Widget

I like business calendar cause it reminds me of the Sense calendar widget, which was my favorite of all the calendar widgets.

I am using Pure Calendar Widget, because it integrates with Got To Do, which is now defunct.

another +1 for smooth calendar here!

I was going through many different Widgets for various tasks. And then I tried launcher. It cut 10mb off my ram usage, also adds resisable Widgets (standard aswel), has a nice calander widget (I specifically bought it for this) and ads some sick customization. It is very stable too. Please note that this app completely replaces the stock launcher, and so will not even be cached on startup. There is a free version to try, but it is minus the Widgets you seek, but does have screen shots of them (in app). Sory if this seems off topic, but its just another consideration to take in with all the other very helpful suggestions.

Dunno about the HTC calendar but I'm using Android Agenda Widget which is very customizable, integrates with Astrid and GTasks (which in turn integrated with Google Tasks) and also displays your contacts birthdays.
It doesn't look very fancy but it works well!

Pure Calendar Widget vs Smooth Calendar
I just switched to Smooth Calendar from Pure Calendar. Pure Calendar is very functional and looks good unless you switch back and forth between landscape and portrait on your home screen. Regardless of the settings, in landscape Pure's widget gets horribly pinched and is not pleasant. I like Smooth because I really only want a good looking agenda widget; I prefer using the native calendar app for creation and editing.
On a side note, I really liked SPB Shell's calendar widget. Although the widget took an entire pane, it had both a good looking calendar and agenda. Ultimately, I uninstalled in favor of the better usability of ADW Launcher.

I like Android Agenda Widget.

1) Launcher Pro - built in
2) Colorize
3) Pure Calendar

AOSP - What widgets do you use?

Aside from LP+
So I came accustomed to certain widgets from "Sense UI". What is a good widget to replace the contacts widget? I have been using a few different ones, but maybe there is one that I am not seeing...
Also what do you use for:
Calendar
Bookmarks
Friendstream
Any other cool widgets you wanna add...

I like photo contact widget. It looks good and works well. As for the others mentioned I bought LP plus and the widgets that come with it have replaced friend stream, bookmarks and calendar for me. I also use beautiful Widgets for clock, & weather. I also recommended purchasing LP icons and docks
If you are looking for widget outside of LP+ for friendstream and calendar then I recommend pure messenger and pure Cal both are very good.
I've never looked for an alternative For bookmarks so I don't know what out there for it.

I use GO Weather for the weather clock, and the Android built in for Calendar

"colorize widget" - seperate widgets for facebook, twitter, and people.
Better than sense for me.

Calender - LP Widget
Friendstream - Official Facebook & Twitter clients, I don't think any other widget/app is better than the official ones IMO.
Time & Date - Clockr Evolution
Battery - Battstatt pro
Weather - Beautiful Widgets
Streaming Media - Subsonic

[Updated 3/15] Replace HTC Widgets through 3rd party Widgets -- LIST!

So I wanted to create a list of widgets that look/function like the HTC Widgets..
Weather - Palmary Weather
http://www.appbrain.com/app/palmary-weather-pro/com.palmarysoft.customweatherpro
Clock - Fancy Widget
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidget.pro&feature=search_result
Calendar - Pure Grid Calendar
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar
http://www.appbrain.com/app/calendar-snooze/com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze <-- Calendar reminders
Music - Player Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro&feature=search_result
Contact/People Widget
http://www.appbrain.com/app/contact-widget/br.livroandroid.widget.contatos
http://www.appbrain.com/app/contact-sidebar/albr.android.sidecallbar
http://www.appbrain.com/app/contacts-grid/com.billyfrancisco.contactsgrid
Facebook/Twitter/Friendstream/Contacts Widget (AIO)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/colorize-widget/com.snowbee.colorize
BookMark Widget
http://www.appbrain.com/app/visual-bookmarks/kent.android.imgbookmarks

Launcher Pro + has a lot of Sense-esque widgets built in.

It's not actually a widget, but what about the calendar reminders. I find that the stock reminder stinks...so I use Calendar Snooze. http://www.appbrain.com/app/calendar-snooze/com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze

HELLZ YEAH !!!
This is a great source..
Thanks for this thread
STICKY PLEASE !! hahaha..
To the OP, please update the original post with all of the suggestions that are posted so that if this list grows to several pages, someone won't have to read through it all to see if it's already been suggested.
Thanks again.

Colorize widget - great replacement for Facebook/Friendstream and agenda calendar. You also have a contacts and messaging widget as well.

yes it does.. but I don't people to be limited to just Launcher Pro. This is more if people want a HTC look with say GO launcher, ADW, Zeam, etc...

see comment above! I don't want users to be limited to LauncherPRO when GOlauncher EX or ADW EX are worthy launchers..

would the colorize widget be scrollable on touchwiz or only for the previously mentioned launchers? ( I ask since touchwiz has other scrollable widgets.)
edit2: so i just tried to sign in with colorize and I got a suspicious activity alert, although i did get to play a fun guessing game at my friends photos to verify who i am.
edit: Also I just saw on appbrain the dev of visiual bookmarks also has visual contacts
Also if we are going for the look of sense the we need Fancy Widget v1.3 (picture) I can link it if it is not against the rules.

[Zooper Widget] SaiZeXistenZClock + Weather

Hi all!
I wanted to share my widget made on the basis of eXistenZClock by Niaboc79.
So here is the clock + weather. The week weather is not included, but I can add it if requested.
Normally, everything should be editable: you can change fonts, backgrounds, colors...
Hope you'll like it.

Week Weather
Nice. I would like to check out the week weather also if possible.
Good work.

If by the diary widget you are talking about the reminders of my calendar, then you'll find it on the playstore: Simple Calendar Widget. then with some patience, you can edit almost every aspect of this widget.

Unfortunately, I don't know what is going on with your problem. I've nerver faced this so far...
For the calendar, if you read the post above yours, I told it is "Simple calendar" you can find on the playstore and which is fully editable.
Enjoy ^^

Thanks sorry I missed that and I should have known. I have used simple before. The icon thing seems to have worked itself out.
