Hi...
I did not see this posted in the threads so I am putting a link for anyone interested in playing with the Asus Widgets with their DS7s.
Just to let everyone know, I did not create or mod any of the widgets so I am not taking any credits for the work. Just providing a link for some cool widgets.
Anyway, I tried all the widgets posted on the link and every one of them work good for my setup. I am using ICS B4 with dpi set at 120 on my DS7 Wifi. I am sure this will work with other versions of DS7s.
I am not sure, however, if this will work with roms other than ICS roms. I have used variations of these widgets with HC before so most of these should work.
Please follow directions on the OP of the link.

All these widgets need to be copied to the /system/app folder. Permissions need to be set to rw_r__r__. Reboot and enjoy. Email, DeskClock (more of a simple date widget), Asus weather and task manager widgets will now be selectable in your list of widgets.
You will probably want to back up the original apps (EmailGoogle.apk, ExchangeGoogle.apk and deskclockGoogle.apk) into another location for safe keeping in case something goes wrong.
One trick though is that ICS version I have has these system apps named as "EmailGoogle.apk, ExchangeGoogle.apk" where as the files from the link are named Email.apk & Exchange.apk. Renamed these to match the naming convention of the files you are replacing. I left them as they are and Email app would not work. Renamed it to match and works fine now.
Deskclock on the otherhand, does not seem to care what it's called.
For the Asus Weather widget you need to perform a simple task. If you are using DPI other than 120, you need to temporarily change your DPI to 120 in order to save your desired settings (C vs F, location & refresh rate) inside the widget.
At DPI set to 120, you can see a sliver of the "Save" button on the corner at portrait mode. Hit this with your desired settings. Once the settings are saved, you can go back to your original DPI and the widget will still work with your new settings.
So... enjoy...
