Make your own widgets, just the way you like.

Install countless skins from Google play or use 'uzips' (fully editable UCCW skin files) made by your friends.

UCCW is a WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor for widgets. You can tweak the layout of objects, fonts, images, shapes, Analog clocks, battery meters, weather and more.

Features
Widget objects - text, shapes, images, weather, graphic (progress), analog clock etc.
Text objects - calendar, weather, battery info, Gmail, location, next calendar event, tasker variables
Graphical objects - barcode, bar, pie
Special objects - Week bar, Series clock
Text mapping to override text values

Hotspots
Set actions that fire when a user clicks on the widgets. Customize their location and size.


Sharing skins
Want to share your awesome skins with the world? Share uzip files or create apks right from within app to upload on Google play.


Note
UCCW needs to run in the background to update home screen widgets. Android Oreo and above need a persistent notification for background processing.

Ratings and reviews

The widgets that this program generates are amazing (when configured properly), however, this is a complicated app, for many users, to install and use. I'm pretty techie, but even I prefer the per-configured widget packages, sold on GPS, over this widget maker. Create a wonderful user interface, that is simple, easy to use and implement, and I will give you five stars, plus it really will influence more people to try and use UCCW. Overall I do love this app.

App is great, but last update introduced major issues. 1. Weather system broken. Now showing as 100°F when it's 38°F. Added OWM key, no change. 2. Time it takes for widget to load on startup has increased by a lot. Used to only be a few seconds, now takes up to a minute. 3. Persistent notification that app needs permission to run in background. Clicking notification did nothing, checked app settings, run in bg already enabled. Had to disable app's notification permissions to make it go away.

UPDATE! 😁 Still loving this! I'm confused how anyone can complain? U I very clean, never any glitches, and I'm not sure I've seen an ad?Obviously must not had stuck in my head long enough? It you take the time, like "background button" and click on wallpaper, it makes the main background on screen your wallpaper, (transparent), if you click on "objects", then you can customize every detail! -- I'm loving this app!! It's absolutely awesome!! My phone gets to look unique and stylish! TY Dev!
