Installed "Beautiful Widgets" but it's not on the phone at all! wtheck.

This thread is now about me desperately trying to find the "Airport Skin" for Beautiful Widgets and how to install it to my device. Any advice/suggestions/help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)

So I just installed the Beautful Widgets app and all it does is tell me to ong press on home screen, go to widgets and select form the list...but there isn't a list anywhere! There isn't even a shortcut little square icon app that I can put on the homescreen. The only way I can even get to the app that tells me the directions is to go to the marketplace, search for it, and then hit open. And then it just brings up the instructions again! what in the heck!

Anyone have this on their phone and working? I don't want to uninstall and refund, I'd like to just try installing again. sigh. any advice?

On the evo to get to the widgets you click on the plus next to Phone on the homescreen.

EDIT: Okay well after I shut off the phone and turned it back on they're now there. They are under both the list with the "+" and the long press route. Thanks for helping anyways though! :)

Isn't that the same as long pressing, then selecting widgets from there? Shouldn't it be the same list? I just uninstalled and refunded, then re-installed and nothing, then I shut it off. It's restarting now, I'll try the "+" button this time.

Or long press on the homescreen like OP said...

OP, it should be in the widgets..infact it should have added numerous widgets in there....

No you're right its' the same thing. I forgot Sense Ui let you long press too. I have no open spaces on my first 3 screens so forgot to try it on an empty space.

Glad you got it. Some of the coolest clocks and stuff in my opinion!

Really? I'm slightly disappointed. On the pictures from the Marketplace I saw this really cool Black Retro Flip clock and as far as I can tell I can't get to it. I can only change the font of the numbers on the digital clock...

Yeah, I just checked and the "Download Skins" tab only has 21 skins and they all have really low download numbers and aren't that great at all.

Anyone know how I can actually browse the skins?

Here go to post #29... it that the one?

http://androidforums.com/motorola-dr...new-skins.html

There are alot more skins than the ones in the list on the app itself.... I think they got a letter from HTC saying they can't put the ones that look like Sense UI's flipclock on the app anymore....so you need to look other places for skins...

I remember having an issue with a non-paid app not showing in my widgets category. I ended up downloading something else, and then it all decided to magically show up in the list. This was back when I was using my Hero, but I have had it pop up once before. Glad you got it working, OP.

It's pretty much that, but the colors inverted.

I found this one on their page under "Featured Skins", yet I STILL can't find it for the life of me. All the featured skins on their page are only images of the skins. Blah!

Wow, that's pretty damn close, to be honest I like it more. Still doesn't solve why the "Featured Skins" aren't for download on their site. Anyways, how do you find these skins? Just a simple google search and various sites have different people making skins for BW?

Also, how do I go about putting this specific skin on my device? TYIA!

HAHA! Thats awesome! We were on the same sites! I posted in that same thread, I saw your name, lol!! Thats great. Anywho, yeah, I downloaded the .zip from the other android forum and put the Airpot folder under "sdcard>beautiful widgets>wskins" and then I went, applied it and everything and it only changed my weather. The actual clock is still in that silly font. Are you having similar issues?

To be honest my friend, I think I am somehow just making this 20x more difficult than it really is ](*,)

You can change the font in the settings for the beautiful widgets... you can also change the background transparency...etc...

Make sure you are hitting save&apply on the bottom of the settings page. Also sometimes it doesn't change right away, I had to wait a few seconds.

I do think you are making it harder! lol.

Funny you saw me searching for your skin!!

IF you have your phone hooked up to the computer with the disk mode enabled it will remove the skin you have applied since it is stored on the skin and not accessable to the phone while in disk mode..

I just powered off my phone and powered it back up thinking it could possibly fix the Airport Skin, sadly it hasn't.

Do you think it has something to do with my path being "wskins" instead of what people have been saying is just "skins"?

Sigh. This is just so weird about why this is even happening. I'm no genius but I certainly know how to follow instructions, lol. I've done just about everything you have done, and we used the same .zip folder for the skin. So bizarre. I don't know man, I appreciate everything you've done but I'm pretty sure it's something wrong on my end that I just can't seem to point out. Gotta head out to work too so hopefully I can resolve this silly issue later tonight.

Try renaming it to "skins".... might work.. mine is just skins... I do have a large list of skins to download and a bunch on the downloaded side..
