As with the online Wallpaper App, there are many different tools that you can use. below are in my opinion, the 2 best options, when it comes to producing your own Android Widgets. These applications work in precisely the exact same way, so I tried to produce a different item with each one of them.
You will notice that both the clock as well as the music player that I created, in shape seamlessly into the general style of the device. It is not necessary for you to do the same.
1. Zooper Widget
Zooper is a free application focusing on the development of clock, weather, as well as battery widgets. After you set up the application, tap as well as hold on your house screen in order to add a Zooper widget (you can resize it later). just like all of the complying with apps, you very first have to add the widget on your screen as well as then personalize it to your liking.
I likewise altered the wallpaper, so as to produce a clock based on its color scheme. tap on the widget you added as well as select the style of your clock (or weather/battery) widget. You will then be provided with a screen, outlining all of the objects present on your widget.
You can personalize each one of them separately. This provides you the chance to produce a truly unique clock for example. right here is what I created utilizing Zooper Widget.
Yes, it was as simple as that. To be more precise, I just added the clock as well as altered the colors to match those on the wallpaper. note that I utilized photoshop to discover the Html code of the color. If photoshop is not offered to you, you can discover an Html code of an picture by utilizing this site below.
2. Buzz Widget
Buzz, is one more free as well as gorgeous application, working in precisely the exact same method with Zooper. With Buzz, however, you can add as well as edit music player widgets. This is what I will do with this app, as well as actually, produce a music player Widget from scratch.
Following the exact same steps as before, add a buzz widget on your house screen as well as tap on it. (I altered my wallpaper when more, so as to produce a batman themed music player). then tap on “Add new Widget” as well as select the products you want to be included on your custom Widget. I utilized 3 oval shapes, a play button, a ahead as well as backward button, in addition to an picture as well as a text object.
Resize, modification the style as well as the color of your objects as well as you are great to go. below is a before as well as after photo of my house screen. notice exactly how integrated the music player is.
There are much more free applications that do the exact same thing. all of them, however, work in precisely the exact same way. So keep this tutorial in mind when trying to personalize your Android device. have fun.
