Alternative apps in Launcher? - Desire Themes and Apps

Hi!
Need help with alternatives for the sense stuff
Have tried a couple of launchers, but they all come too short
Now i use ADW Launcher and i use thees apps/widgets:
Weather Widget (yr.no)
Pure Calendar Widget
Wifi Toggle Widget
What i miss is "Data Toggle", and the one in market is too ugly...
Anyone have an good alternative?
I want a toggle, and not a enabler!

Try Launcher Pro...

u mean to switch from 3G to EDGE? try SwitchPro Widget

By Data Toggle i ment turn on/off mobile network(internet only)
Found "Extended Controls Widget" which had a nice and working data and wifi toggle
I`m back to LauncherPro now, as i liked this better...
So, now i`m pretty satisfied with my homescreen with all shortcuts/widgets/toggels that i use!
Is there any mods of weather widget with yr.no that is all transparent like beautiful widgets?

I've posted a transparent weather widget yr.no somewhere here..
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6972767&postcount=562

seems like the one i already have...
It`s semi transparent with borders...
Would like it fully transparent like f.ex Beautyful Home (1st picture)...
Edit: Ok, UNcheck transparent background

I'm using launcherpro as well, and I'm using Weather Widgets. The Weather Widgets flip clock widget is very similar to the Sense weather widget.
native widgets and third party launchers
it would be nice if any launcher could use those widgets, they are kinda nice, but i fell in love with adw launcher and i cant got back, if u haven't tried it you should...

[Q] Fancy Widget settings ...

How do i get Fancy Widget to display properly in landscape?
you dont buddy. its a glitch and can only be fixed by the developer updating the app. its the reason i gave up on it.
Has anyone found any good weather / clock widgets that display properly? I use ADW or LauncherPro.. I've tried tons of clock widgets, some with weather, but they almost all are distorted. I use Weather and Toggle widget now; it looks okay but just not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd like a nice big clock - 2x4 preferably.

Remove app name text under widget

Could someone please tell me how they are getting icons using desktop visualizer but with no text underneath?
I'm using desktop visualizer + adw.launcher + openhome rom.
I've tried removing app names in adw, which removes the text under the shortcuts, but doesn't remove the text under widgets? How's everyone else doing it?? All I wanted was 1x1 iphone (or similarl) style widgets but now I get the 1x1 widget with text half overlapping the bottom of the image, and it looks crap. Any ideas?? Thanks.
Also, when I choose 'dockbar' in adw, the dockbar stays exactly the same? It doesn't look like the dockbar image, but stays as the standard dockbar, even after restarting adw, or restarting phone (see link below).
"DockBar - turn on/off the new (secondary) dockbar"

Sorry, I've solved the first issue, just by deleting the label text in desktop visualizer and then adding a 1x1 widget, no text appears. So obvious! Doh.
Still can't get the nice reflective dockbar going though. Any ideas?
Aha, solved it, I didn't realise the dockbar was dragable! Press on the app button in adw.launcher and dragging up reveals the secondary bar
I know this thread is all my posts so far, but they might help someone.

Link HTC clock/weather to 3rd party weather app?

I saw similar questions in other forums, but never an answer - is it possible to link the HTC Sense clock/weather widget so that when you click on the weather portion it links to a 3rd party weather app (i.e. my-cast weather lite) instead of the HTC weather forecast?
I love the HTC widget, but prefer my-cast weather's more detailed weather forecast for seeing in-depth info. Feel silly having the HTC widget and then have to click a separate icon for detailed weather. Would love to consolidate space and have one lead to the other.
Possible?
can't find any way of doing what you want... However Beautiful Widgets does offer that, not just for weather you can have it open different apps when you tap weather icon, date icon or time icon, on they don't have to be specific to what you tap, ie if you tap the weather icon you can have it open your my-cast app or Stupid Zombies or any other app you want it to open.
before the BW haters start beating up the thread, no it's not identical to the Sense weather clock, but it is very similar and unlike the Sense weather clock you don't have to flash a theme/themed ROM to change how it looks, after paying for the app you have access to literally 100's of free themes/skins for the Clock, Weather and Battery icon (can't run battery and weather at the same time).

Thanks for the reply - yeah I didn't think it'd be possible to do this with the native Sense widget, but thought I'd throw it out there to the people who know more than me. Even though I'm running Sense, I think I'll go back to BW, I bought it back when I was with my MT3G so I should still have access. Just would have preferred this funcionality with the sense widget since, although they look very similar, the HTC one is just 'cleaner' and smoother in its operation, i.e. weather animations and clock flipping. But the customizability of BW makes up for that I guess.
Thanks again!
Ok - another question. Figured I'd post it onto this thread instead of starting a new one, hopefully people will check it out...but is there any way to get the HTC weather animation (or a similar effect) WITHOUT having to use the widget? Decided to skip the widget and just keep weather temp in notification bar via my-cast weather. Only thing I'll miss is the animation, which was cool.
the only ways I have found to get the unlock animation is to have either the Sense Weather/Clock or Beautiful Widgets.
EDIT: okay while messing around I did findsomething you might be interested in. If you have BW installed, setup any of the "Home Weather" or "Super Clock" widgets, make sure you check/turn on "unlock animations", save and apply widget. after that even if your remove the widget from your homescreen it will show the unlock animation.
yes, it gets very boring waiting for UAW workers to unload your trailer.
Nice, thanks for the tip! Might be perfect. Will check it out.
