Title: Good clock/weather widget for the 7?
Post by: TG1 on November 02, 2012, 10:05:58 AM: I'm not happy with Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets so far on the 7. Any good ones that are tablet optimized?

I've also used 3D flip clock and weather, but the weather screen is s bit limited. Animated Weather has a slider so you can see how the weather will change. I 3D weather only shows the current forecast.

Same here.

Seems to be fixed now. Not sure if latest release fixed it or its JB 4.20.

Title: Re: Good clock/weather widget for the 7?
Post by: bjs229 on November 13, 2012, 06:32:51 PM: I figured it out. I think I was screwing it up by having other icons on my desktop and not stretching it out. I am good now but don't really have room for all my homepage clutter. This new version of Jellybean might be the answer to that.

Post by: radiocycle on November 13, 2012, 08:25:23 PM: So I wonder if the OP ever found a weather widget that he/she liked??

Post by: loociddreemr on November 13, 2012, 10:01:36 PM: The tablet formated widgets for HD Widgets require two horizontal rows. When it is placed on the screen it is sized to one row. The widget must be resized to appear in proper format. If you leave it as is, it will appear cutoff. The widget drawer will specify what size each widget requires.
