N&W and power control apps with transparent background? - EVO 4G General

Hey guys, i feel really stupid asking this, but i could have sworn i pulled it off before i reinstalled my OS. I have the news and weather and power control widgets on my home screen. both have the solid metallic background. i could have sworn i had a transparent background to them that would let me see parts of my wallpaper through them.
i THOUGHT i had pulled this off without buying the extended power control widget. can someone tell me how to change this?
thanks

Ping on this, I'm looking for a transparent or translucent version of the stock news and weather widget. And don't say Beautiful Widgets, I want NEWS and weather. Thanks!

i think i seen what you're looking for here...

try beautiful widgets or weather widget
the one with the clock is weather widget-donate from the market

Clock?

Where could I find this clock? I have been looking all over the market, but no luck.
That looks like the small-home from Beautiful Widgets to me. Probably using the Eclair skin. The clock and weather are one widget. Incidentally, my current home screen has it just like that. Well, that pic looks like it uses the transparent background and I use the opaque setting.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

HTC Weather / g-weather

Hi all,
i am using the htc weather app but i am not very afraid with it because the weather datas of accue weather are very unexact.
I prefere wetter.com datas so I consider if it is possible to get wetter.com instead accue weather at HTC tab.
Do anybody have an idea if this is possible?
If not, do anybody know a possibility to get the g-weather tool to the manila slide tabs?
thx ahead
Kuckuck
Also interested in this!
HTC weather app is a tremendous resource hog. Takes up somewhere around 10mb when running. Also not intuitive. It's a "dumb" type of app.
I would advice anyone to turn off this tab. And use some online weather site instead. Or maybe install something else.
Anyone know how to remove the weather link on home wallpaper?

Disable weather tab. Don't update weather. After a while, the weather graphics will eventually disappear. Only your location will be left in that area of the home screen.
This is good for stock home screen. I don't know if custom ROM or custom home screen works the same way.

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.

How to get the "Home screen Critique 06" theme?

The first home screen in this post is this really nice, clean and minimalist theme I just can't seem to get. I have no idea how to remove the status bar on the homescreen, what specific widget is at the bottom and how he got the lock screen so basic. Sure, the post lists 4 apps that were used but that does basically nothing for people trying to recreate the look. Nothing in the comments section and I've also tried searching that user (AVEEUX) on here and that person has one post and it wasnt related to this theme. I've also tried to google search the preview image but no luck. Anyone got any info on recreating that clean white theme?
Post: http://www.xda-developers.com/homescreen-critique-06/
I believe the widget is custom made using the KWGT app. The status bar can be hidden with Nova.
And C Locker I assume is a lockscreen replacement?
Anyway. You can't download the whole theme, you will have to recreate it yourself.
