From a bit ago, but how do you get it to crop the widget and not just scrunch it to fit the space provided?
The newest version of Beautiful Widgets now does a bit of squishing as well as cropping, so I wound up reverting back to v3.13, which would still crop the widget when resizing.

\/ Correct, sorry for the misinformation. I forgot which app it was I had to rollback on.

Actually, it was Beautiful Widgets update, he made it so it resizes instead of cuts off like before.

How can I make it crop, now? I'd much prefer that to stretching...

Reverted BW to 3.13, works gorgeously now with 5 and 8 rows. Only 4 columns though. Ce la vie.

Of course, doing so is obviously supporting FRAGMENTATION :qq:

Bottom was resized down.

Kinda tricky once you start filling up the screen though.

edit: It looks like you can resize it all the way down to 1x1 and then back up to whatever you need as long as you start bigger. That way you can make room for more widgets and then resize them again when you've got what you want on the screen.

It still resizes the icons slightly (they're smaller), but at least it's a lot sharper now, thanks! I imagine I could get the icons larger if I enabled auto-fit in LauncherPro and spent a lot of time on it, but I think I'm done for now.



And just for reference, the original Photoshop layout:

The background image is my own, and I'd rather not share it, sorry. But you can have my LauncherPro dock instead. It's just the horizontal line.

They're not part of the background, I was showing what it looks like when you resize a Desktop Visualizer widget from too big to what you want. Top is same size, bottom one started as a bigger widget and then was resized.

Which means I have a clean version of that background, yes! Give me a few minutes, since you mentioned you like minimal black backgrounds I'm putting together a few more I have (I like 'em too). They are 960x800 fyi.

Yeah, I don't know what to do about that last bit of resizing it does, but I'm glad I could help. That layout is sweet, the icons still managed to line up pretty close for the background image.

I was just going to hide the dock and notification bar if possible, or theme it and hope the badges work as well ( so that hiding the notification bar isn't too annoying)

to get this thread back on topic. here's my current layout, which hasn't changed majorly for a while.




the only widgets I have are beautiful widgets with the lttrs skin on screen 3 and pure calendar agenda on 5 with koxx block skin on 100% transparency.

pretty boring compared to the fancy poo poo in here. (it's on ADW, hence the dockbar)

Yes, I included screen shots of the CC crap the original DA artist posted, I guess at least it will give you a source for most of them. One came from some other DA artist (the more metal looking one) and two were picked up on some random wallpaper site (the one with green and the one you wanted).

Highlights (including the one you actually wanted):

Jailbroken iPhone's can be themed to your heart's desire. My friend used ssh to edit every image file on the lock and homescreens. I use a memory patching app "winterboard" to do themes.

Hey, iPhone readers... notice how none of the themes here copy the iPhone theme?

Yes, please start a pissing fight with iPhone users over trivial poo poo. It's a great idea.

Also, Beautiful Widgets updated today to allow skinning of the Toggle widgets. So, if you're REALLY interested in customization, that seems to be the way to go, now.

Fanboys of any flavor suck rear end, but "you can use widgets to customize your desktop to how you like it" sounds more forced than any complaint I've ever seen from both sides of the fence.

Anyway, what's a good resource for premade desktop visualizer icons?

I, too, feel the need to ridicule those who do things.

What's any different from theming your phone then it its from changing themes and desktops on your computer? Not to mention it's so broad you may as well make fun of the entire digital artist (or just artist artists) our web designer community. It's criticism for the sake of criticism and fanboyism at it's worst.

Honestly, let 'em go for it. Penis measuring via rap sheets is the new hip thing.

In the spirit of keeping this thread moving I'm posting my bland set up.

Home screen. I keep everything in LP docks so It's pretty sparse. Wallpaper is CM6 native, BW in 4x1 style and emoti skin. The help widget is just for Apps.


With the introduction of notification power controls in CM6 I have zero use for power widgets on my homescreen. Yet more empty space.


I mean, just look at this empty mess!


Help me goons! Help me put USEFUL things on my desktop.
PS - CM6 lock screen music controls negate the need for a music widget.
PPS - I don't even need the FB widget. TweetDeck is better at displaying that information anyways.
PPPS - The only reason I have a Latitude widget is that my phone refuses to keep the Friend Refresh service alive without it. :(
PS x bajillion - I just realized it's 93 degrees outside and nearly November. gently caress me sideways.
