About Glass Widgets ICS

*** WARNING : Glass Widgets 3.0 is now released. The new version supports widget resizing and scrolling, and a new WYSIWYG settings screen. It rolls most of the features of Glass Widgets ICS into the standard Glass Widgets edition, and the ICS edition is therefore deprecated ***

This is a an edition of the Glass Widgets collection for use on phones and tablets running Android 3.x/4.x (Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich). This edition is build to take advantages of the new possibilities in ICS and Honeycomb, such as resizable and scrollable widgets (see FAQ).

It includes the following widgets:

* Glass Clock Widget
Enter a city name, or use geolocation to automatically find your location. Add more than one clock widget to your home screen in order to follow the time and weather around the world.

* Glass Calendar Widget
See the current date, along with the next events in your calendar. Resizeable and scrollable.

* Glass News Widget
Read your favorite RSS/Atom feeds from your home screen. Select one of the build in feeds (Google News, BBC, Reuters, WIRED ect.) or add your own custom feed. Resizeable and scrollable.

* Glass All-In-One Widget
All the above widgets combined into one 4x3 widget.

FREE & PAID VERSIONS:

All the widgets are semi-transparent, with a nice smoked glass look. The paid version will allow you to change the tint and transparency of the background and text as you wish.

Note: If you already paid for the unlocker for the original Glass Widgets, you don't need to purchase it again. The same unlocker works for both Glass Widgets and Glass Widgets ICS.

FAQ:

1) I can't find the widgets
In Android 4.x widgets can be found in the widget-drawer, which is located on its own tab in the app-drawer.

2) I still can't find the widgets
The most common cause of this problem is that the widgets are installed on the SD-card. Android doesn't like widgets on the SD-card. Please try to move them back to the main memory of the phone/tablet.

3) The widgets just aren't there!
a) Try rebooting the phone/tablet - it usually solve most problems
b) A few users running Android 3.2 have reported a bug, where they get the error message 'No more room on this home screen' during the installation of the widgets. The installation seems to work regardless, but the widgets still doesn't appear in the widget-drawer. Rebooting sometimes fix this, but if not then try this: Start the Android Market App and open the market settings by clicking the button in the upper right corner. Then disable the 'auto add shortcuts' option. Note: this option is in the settings for the market app, not the general phone/tablet settings.

4) How do I resize a widget?
To resize a widget, you tab and hold on it. A bounding box will then appear around the widget, and you can tab any of the edges of the box and drag on them to increase or decrease the size of the widget. Be aware however, that your Android device needs to support resizing for this to work: You need to be running Android 4.x AND use a launcher that has support for resizing of third-party widgets. Unfortunately, that is not true for all versions of Samsung's TouchWiz, for instance. I recommend that you install one of the many third-party launchers from Google Play to fix this.

Enjoy!

Do not hesitate to take this opportunity

Loved this widget. Used the calendar app on every phone I've changed to (and being drop prone, there have been many) Then it updated and doesn't fit on my home screen with the other widgets. New version only had a full screen multifunction or a time and weather smaller option. Deleted and reinstalled the old one for the calendar but it scrolls now and only shows 3 rows at a time. If I'm going to have a new widget I prefer to change it myself. Which I now will be doing. :-(

What if the left panel could also be placed on the top, right and bottom of the widget? It takes up so much space if you resize the widget to 4x3 or larger.

Widgets don't seem to work properly. I keep adding them but they are invisible. They take up screen space and I'm able to resize, but I can't see them. Sometimes the clock widget will show up but can't configure it at all

I just wanted a simple, functional rss reader. this was not that. the clock seems nice though.

Almost perfect. There should be more update intervals for weather info. Presently, there are only three - Never, Once a day, Twice a day.

First, I just love these widgets. They're simple, beautiful, yet sophisticated. Great user options, easy to find, and don't need to re-install to change like many widgets. Extremely minimal look belies many sophisticated design features. And when I had a problem upgrading from the original Glass Widgets, I got a detailed reply from the dev w/in a day that solved my problem. Thanks for making these, and your other great apps!!

by Y####:

If you want a simple and elegant set of widgets there is not much better out there. My only qualm is with the weather - optional sources and better manually set location recognition would be great.

i am running ICS so i cannot use dashclock and this proves its worth as an alternative. 5 stars if the font size can be increased.

W70%
by W####:

Like it alot!! Especially when used on a tablet with windows 8/metro/tile-esque themes. Will rate 5 stars and beyond if updates add more tiles & functionality such as Facebook feed, email, contacts/SMS. Def donate to dev if these awesome updates come reality so please please please work your magic!
