What's going on??
On Widgetsoid it does not work. The print screen you quoted was took using another app, Extended Controls.
Close, but still not the same (I've put stock ICS Power control widget side by side to compare). I'm goin for the stock Power control widget look.
[edit] I've picked the color from Power control now, it's #FF45bce8. I'll try to make the same background also. Background's color is #FF222222.

Can you make the same one with #FF222222 ?

i now have the widget from widgetsoid2.x in my notification bar. Is there a configuration so this widget will always appear on top of the notification bar? At the moment, if a new sms comes in it appears right above the widgetsoid widget.
Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi buddy,
It's very easy to hide the widget while keeping the notifications, but what it means is that you will need to do it every time you restart your phone (because the Widget actually starts the application when ICS boots, which then loads the profile).
First thing you need to do, is delete the Widget you made.
Now:
1. Open Extended Controls from your App Drawer.
2. Press Widgets With the Spanner Above (it will load the Widgets in use, and previously used).
3. Press the little Edit button, a crayon/pencil (between Refresh and Delete), then press the one next to the profile you want to use.
If you have already set Widget Notification then simply press back to Exit Extended Controls then back two more times (to leave the main activity) and voila.
If you are just using a Widget on your home screen....
4. Slide across to Advanced.
5. Select Widget Notification (& I also suggest scrolling down and enabling Hide Notification Icon).
Press back to exit, then back twice again and rock and roll.
When you restart your phone, all you need to do is open Extended Controls, Widgets, Edit, select the Widget, then exit Extended Controls. Might seem a bit annoying but considering you may only reset your phone once a week I think it's a small price to pay for extra desktop real estate
Let me know if this works, it's been working for me for quite a while.

I am the developer of a widget that does exactly that, a Hotspot toggle widget that works with all versions, including ICS / Galaxy Nexus:
Search the market for "Fattin | Hotspot Toggle Widget", it's also free
Anyone else having trouble with tethering? If I have the icon in widgetsoid and click it it lights up but nothing more. If I create a shortcut to it and select it through that then I can turn it off and back on through the widgets button. As soon as I unplug and plug back in I have to go through that process again.

4Hi,
Seeing as the notification status bar widgets/toggles were popular features in cm7 roms and much sought-after in ICS roms, and wanting to experience ICS in its stock form before trying any custom roms, I went about trying to find a way to get status bar toggles back because they're really convenient for switching things on/off (eg rotation) without having to leave an app. Widgetsoid, an app obtainable from the android market, suits my needs, placing no-frills one-touch toggles in my notification bar, and handily having an option to hide the ongoing notification icon so my status bar remains 'pure'. This way I can get cm-like settings whilst keeping to the more stable (imo) and stock rom. Free version is here and donate version is here.
I'm not affliated with this app or its maker in any way, just thought I'd share something that made my life a little easier/my phone a little better.
Cheers and a late Merry Christmas to all!1111
