I910 Today, Widgets and Weather(Bug)

I have the Verizon I910. After using many various today interfaces and themes (Samsung Todays 1 & 2/ m2d / Spb MS2.1/ pocket plus..etc) Now I am fairly content with the Widgets (or should I say widget singular since the only one that is usefull is the clock). I like the way the notifications "pop" up and dissapear. I have the soft keys mapped to silver inbox and to WKlauncher which is is one click to all the apps i use regularly.

The only thing I miss with the Widgets is a weather app/ temperature visable on the the today screen. I was using pocket weather with the ST2, but when using widgets it diables all other plugins. so even tho I have PW mapped to a launcher button it is never updated.
Then I Saw Weatherbugs taskbar temperature display (cool). BUT it wont work with the widgets enabled (not cool) even tho I have WeatherBug only to display taskbar temp not as a plugin.

In Short:
Can I use the widgets and have a temp app/display on the today screen too?
Is there any possible way to import a weather widget from some of the updated ROMs
OR
Is there anyway I can have the weatherbug taskbar temp display work at the same time as I have widgets enabled?

Or
with a VZW I910 the whole widget thing sux and that is why nobody used it?
clear as mud?

TIA

Yup

See, I like the widget idea too, especially with the motifications, but its just too anemic to be useful.

That said, I don't have a direct answer for you, but maybe one that will be just as good.

SecondToday allows you a second today screen, run as an application. Meaning, it can be exited like any other app.

You could run ST with the plugins you miss, and still keep Widgets as your main Today screen.

Here is an idea of what it can do.
