OS 7.1 Themes and Fancy Widgets

**joeylee** · 05-08-2012, 06:36 PM

Does anyone know why certain new themes work with Fancy Widgets and others will not? It appears that as long as the wallpaper can be changed, even if it says, "wallpaper friendly", some are and some are not. I've purchased a dozen themes and cannot use widgets, but didn't find out until after...
ANY Help would be appreciated!!!

Hey Joey,
I'm not sure about your particular problem, but I have found that with certain themes that use custom fonts (like for the clock especially - like in BEAT or DeNexx) using fancy widgets will mess that up. The clock will look all weird and misplaced. I think it has something to do with the app interfering with the theme code. Might be the same where the wallpaper is concerned.

Thanks "Hamsterwheel", I think "Beat" is one of the few that does permit the app and it doesn't mess up the cool clock...

** Stay away from fancy widgets. Its outdated and not updated for ages. It drains your battery and its calendar app has made several mistakes on my and friends device.

Until the new theme studio is available, I'm stuck. I NEED to have a fixed calendar on my main screen. I'm disabled and have Dr. Appts, in home Nurses...any alternative, I'm open...

Hmmm. Very strange. It messes my clock up. Must be my device.

Well, I wish I'd have tried the "trial" version first... If the theme does not allow you to change the wallpaper, no show for "deToday".....
Thanks Anyway!
