Beautiful Widget Skins

[Roy Aguilera]

Yea it is. Can't wait till I get home and start working on this. If it does get released Wednesday, it'll be a great way to start off the week. Monday-No school, Tuesday-My Birthday, and Wednesday-BW Update

Gah.
So I tried to make the preview image but the standards are pretty damn hard to meet.
240x100 res (Easy to do, but distorts the image, stretches it)
10kb or under (Really hard to do, its a jpeg. lowest I got was 23.1kb)

Help? or change the standards?

There is a program that compresses the images without distorting them. As soon as I remember the name, I will share it with you.

Looks like this update will drop a little later in the week. Tama has some family to care for and will take care of this as soon as the family is better.

The example preview image was 240x150. I'm assuming that was what he meant, and it works way better proportion-wise.

 

[Tama-Chan]

yeah it's 240x150, sorry about it.
And indeed I might delay the release. It is sure that Wednesday is not possible because I took care of my wife and baby the whole day as they are sick, and I am not at home starting friday until sunday. So if I can't work on it Wednesday and finish there, I won't release the new version. I prefer to have one day to fix any major bugs that could happen instead of leaving people 3 days with a non-working widget.

Sounds good. Thanks for stopping by and communicating this with us.

Sir, I hope that you are making good $ off this widget. I think I speak for most people that you are possibly one of our favorite Devs. I like that you are finding a line with keeping us (the users) with a working app, and taking care of your fam. My hat is off to you.

And I agree. As Magnious said, "My hat is off to you."

Hey Jorge Happy Birthday. Did that font pack open up?

 

[nox]

Hey thanks Roy. And yea, it did, just waiting till I get home to work on it.

Wife and kid comes before the application, no matter how popular it is...

I am wondering if you will enable us to skin the other buttons as well as the homes...

Right now I am taking a break from making skins while I sort out an order for a Korean Ball Jointed Doll - they are often more expensive than Android devices...

Phil.

Tama just sent me a Screen Capture of the "Skin Selector Screen" for the soon to be Released SKinnable Beautiful Widgets..

As usual his work is EXCELLENT!

Looks good.

 

[Jeremy]

Discuss and share your BW skins here!

 

[Jeremy]

Being able to custom skin Beautiful Widgets is gonna be fun. Here is a simple one I did, change the clock number images to the "porsche font", then create a new background in Photoshop, just that simple!

Forgot to attach the image.

 

[tada1096]

is the SKinnable Beautiful Widgets going to be seperate from the original Beautiful Widgets or just a update to it. Im just wondering if i should wait to get it so im not buying it twice

 

[nox]

Its gonna be an update so no need to buy another version. The skins on the other hand, may not be free. It's gonna depend on the author.

levelupstudio: I was too sick and there is too much work left to do the release. Since I am travelling tomorrow, that will probably on monday! Sorry!

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Yup. Looks like it drops Monday.

 

[mclarryjr]

Monday will work for me

 

[navysqrrl]

Here's a skin I made that has scanlines.

I like it a lot

The Eclair and Naked Droid look really cool.
