Texty UCCW Skin

WizardWork

About this app

Love minimal text only clock designs? Who says they need to be plain and bland? Check this out. Not my original idea, but my own implementation.


== FEATURES ==
* Minimal, text only design. Goes well with all minimal theme setups.
* Current time in big overlapping fonts that look cool.
* Current date in spelled out form.
* Current temperature, weather condition and remaining battery.
* Skin includes four hotspot triggers. You can assign your favorite apps to them.
* You can change these and assign your favorite apps to the hotspots.
* You can also change the text colors to match your wallpaper.


== INSTRUCTIONS ==
To use this skin, you have to install, apply and optionally edit/assign hotspots to the skin.


Install -
* After downloading the skin app from play store, launch it.
* Tap "Install Skin" button in the app.
* Tap "Ok" when it asks you whether you want to replace app. This step is replacing the skin installer with the actual skin. OR
* If you are using a KitKat device, it'll ask whether you want to update the existing app.
* Tap "Install". When that finishes, tap "Done". Skin is now installed.


Apply -
* You must have latest version of Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) installed. http://goo.gl/eDQjG
* Place a UCCW widget of 4x3 size on the homescreen. You can do so by dragging the widget from app drawer or by long pressing homescreen to pull up widget menu.
* This will open the skins list. Skins installed from play store will show up ONLY HERE.
* Tap on the skin you want to apply and it'll be applied to the widget.
* Long press on the widget and resize it as & if necessary.


Edit -
* After applying the skin as mentioned above, launch UCCW app itself. Tap Menu, tap "hotspot mode" and tap 'OFF'. UCCW will exit.
* Now tap anywhere on the uccw widget. It'll open in uccw edit window.
* Scroll through the components in the bottom half of the screen. Assign apps to hotspots in this window. This IS a MUST.
* You can change color, format etc too (optional) in this window.
* When done, no need to save. That won't work. Simply tap Menu, tap "hotspot mode" and tap 'ON'. UCCW will exit. Your changes will now be applied to the widget.


== TIPS / TROUBLESHOOT ==
* If the "Install" step fails; go to Android settings > Security and make sure "Unknown sources" is enabled. Reason explained here - http://wizardworkapps.blogspot.com/2013/12/ultimate-custom-widgets-uccw-tutorial.html
* To change temperature unit between Celsius and Fahrenheit -> Launch UCCW app itself. Tap Menu, tap settings. Here, if "Celsius" is marked, temperature will display in Celsius. If unmarked, Fahrenheit.
* If weather info is not displayed/updated, Launch UCCW app itself. Tap Menu, tap settings, tap location. Make sure "Auto location" is checked and that the third row is correctly showing your location.
* You can also tap Menu, tap settings, tap 'weather provider' and change the selected provider.

Ratings and reviews

Love love love!! My top favorites! Stunning on phone! Hope this app gets back on track again! It's great and kind that these Devs do these for free, somewhat. FOR ppl like me who can't afford. Thank you Dev!!

Just updated to Android 6 and the widget is now replaced with a blank square. Seems to be an issue with transparencies. Will rate 1 star in the meantime so the dev fixes it. EDIT: just updated to Nougat and the issue is still present. This project has been abandoned.

Worked on previous versions of Android But not the latest.

What's new

v1.1

* App doesn't need any permission now. Yayy.
* Easier to use. This is no longer a skin installer. This is the skin app itself. After update, the skin will be directly available to apply.
