thanks, been using this since you released the first versions... nice to find this thread again when I was looking for an upgrade and find out you already put it in the market.

Got the paid version, keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot.

tapping TypoClock Free does not open AlarmClock...

tried to uninstall and reintall it: things got even worse... the widget is not there anymore... the app is installed but seems to be "deactivated", I cant clean data or "force close"...

After 2 reboots the app started to work properly... sorry about this post.

Mobile: Vibrant T959
ROM: ICS Passion v13.1

Bought the full app because it's awesome :D

But I noticed that in the scaling factor option, you can't type dots, so you have to use the 1.0 value and edit before and after the dot. Minor issue though ^_^

fantastic work! you, sir, have the distinction of being the developer of the first app I ever paid cash for on the Android Market.:)

that said, could you help me out with which action I should set so that clicking it goes into the "set alarm" menu? I'm just using the stock Android clock.

I tried experimenting with the various coms available, but even then, it wouldn't open to where I wanted upon clicking. any help?

in case it's relevant, I'm on a Galaxy Nexus Stock 4.0.4.

When would an update come for HD widget for this theme? I noticed it's a bit of a blur if I scale it large (default size) on my phone.

Did you try resetting the launch action? It should be able to find the stock alarm by itself.

Used to love this, but now has 2 issues.

First, it looks slightly blurry on my XperiaS. Hd screen I suppose.

Second, why does it use so much ram? Simiclock uses under 7 meg, why does typoclock consume around 30 meg?

Edit. Second point is to be disregarded. It's only that high if I run the configuration. After a reboot is sitting at 4.5 meg :)

    So if you want to throw me 99ct, get the paid one ;)


    Hey everyone,

    in reply to vaughnhcky89's request here I started developing a widget.

    As more and more people are requesting a separate thread for this, here it is!

    Since HTC screwed up the runtime used in Sense-ROMs, the widget will display the day and month names in English only! On AOSP ROMs, the localized name will be shown.

    Suggestions now also possible through UserVoice

    Manual:

    Settings are accessible via click on the left edge of the widget. The main area opens the Alarmclock upon clicking.

    Coming up:

    * (semi-transparent) background
    * More translations for Sense users

    Current Version: 0.65

    Weeell.... it looks like the evil thieves were brought to justice after all. The hijacked TypoClock a.k.a. Beautiful Clock Widget 3D disappeared from the market along with all of the other stolen apps :)

    This means: I will be back soon! And no, you won't have to pay ;)

    To celebrate 5000 Downloads from the market, the free version now has drop shadow enabled and the paid version is on sale for EUR 0,50 (some other markets have higher minimum-prices, though)

    Okay.... now I need your help, guys:

    If you are using Sense and want to have the texts localized, please take a few minutes and provide me with the month and day names in your language. Just edit the attached xml (don't forget to change the language code at the top) and send it back to me!

    How do you change the color and where do you find the codes for different colors?

    Here's a hex color code generator:

    http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html

    But you have to add ff after the hashmark, those two are for the transparency.

    For example, #af23a7 has to be entered as #ffaf23a7 in the widget.
