Resize your widgets
for a better looking homescreen!

Requirements:

- LauncherPro Plus (Alternatively ADW Launcher)
- A lot of patience (seriously) - resizing can be a *****
- And some sweet widgets!

This can be done with basically any widget. I re-did the entire post so let me know if you need actual instructions.
I think the screenshots are pretty self-explanatory but feel free to PM me or reply to the thread with suggestions.

I was informed of adding widgets this way by Hollywood. Earlier I did it inversely - but this way the widgets won't overlap the wrong way
if you reboot and stuff like that. All your widgets will stay where they are until you move or resize them again.

If you add the widget you want as background first, it will be okay when you restart the phone. It will not look good before the restart but after a restart it will be just fine.

You can resize it last of the widgets but remember to add it first of all.

Hmmm, thanks for that tidbit! I'm tired of redoing it. When you restart again again, will it still be in the background?

Great tutorial!

Just wondering, how is it that your widget list combines your items. Meaning, for gTab simi clock, it just shows its listed one time then in () it shows u have 4 options, whereas in mine it actually list all 4 items. (see screenshot) Therefore my widget list is hella long. Wondering of u used an app to condense the list?

EDIT: Nevermind. I found it :) Its called AppWidgetPicker

Hi. I'm trying to install one of your SMS Unread Widget Mod without success. Can you post the correct way of doing this?

Thx...

You don't need to modify SMS Unread Count - You can add custom images to your SDcard > data > kankosmswidget. Just drop your images (.png) there and choose Custom Icon when you add SMS Unread Count.

I'm on the Oxygen ROM - I'm pretty sure most 'new' AOSP ROMs have that feature. Either way I've had it since I first got my Desire and tried out OpenDesire. It's not an application or anything that does it - It's the ROM.

I'll be updating this post soon so stay tuned.

    In that list with all the widgets...
    How did you get it to say like "(3 Widgets)"...
    Instead of that all 3 got listed... For example: 1x1, 2x1 and 3x1...
