Hello you helpful lot here at XDA

I have just started using Zooper widget pro but i have no idea how to use apart from adding existing templates from the play store. My question is how can I create sections to split up the wallpaper i am using.

For example the attached picture has an ocean wallpaper with what looks like a black overlaying box created in Zooper at the bottom half of the screen.

I would really like it if someone could tell me how to create those said "boxes" to break up my custom homescreen

Thank you in advance and i apologise for being a Zooper Noob :confused:

Hi there and welcome to the wonderful world of Zooper :victory:

You have two possibilities to achieve this: you can either set the widget background to a color of your choosing and then resize the widget to cover the whole screen or if you want to have only parts of your widgets with a background you should add a Rect module and resize/position/configure it to your needs.

I hope this answers you question and if not, please don't hesitate to keep asking :)

For that you would have to use a custom launcher that supports widget overlaying. Popular ones like Nova or Apex have that option in their settings. After you activated that option, you should be able to resize or place another widget over the Zooper widget.
Though since Zooper has at least the same functionality as UCCW, why not try to recreate the widget directly in Zooper? :)

Ha found the overlap option but my problem now is I can't place the icons I'm using in Nova over a black line made with Zooper widget. Any ideas?

    Have you ticked the 2 options to allow overlapping icons and widgets in Nova Settings > Desktop?
