Attention Fancy Widget Brethren

Posted on the Fancy Widget App Description in the Market:

"This will be the last update. Due to HTC's complaint, the current Fancy Widget will soon be discontinued. Howver, a new version will come back shortly with our own designs. Please follow the latest updates on our website. Thanks to everyone who supported us."

Note:
According to other users, if you do the final update, you lose the city you are in and maybe the weather. I set appbrain to "never update this app" and my city and weather are still ok but I'm not sure if it will last. Anybody know the scoop on this?
 
i saw this too i already updated and everything seems fine for now i emailed them and got a response telling me if i want to keep it in the future i would have to back it up using astro

Thanks for the tip. I just backed up via Astro.
 
Wait. I'm confused. Why do we need this app if we already have Sense UI? If this question is too stupid to answer, I don't mind. I would agree with you. ;)

If you're using a different launcher, like launcher pro, you don't have access to Sense UI widgets. So, some people who like the clock/weather widget using different launchers will use it :)
 
Because the HTC widget A. has a small list of cities, none of them anywhere near you
and
B. only updates when it feels like it
oh, and B.1. Insists it's Sunny at 10:49 pm (is it really that hard to have it check the ACTUAL sunset/sunrise time?).

Oh oh oh.. of course. Yes. I tried Lancher Pro Beta and noticed that my favorite widgets were gone, so I had to dump it. Unfortunately, it did something to my weather/clock widget. It no longer did animated weather, so I reset the ENTIRE SYSTEM and not the animation's back.

Thanks.

Funny, I helped my friend get rid of the animations. So, basically remove the clock/weather widget off your screen, and add back the clock widget with the weather, and you can set location and if you want it to show animations. That's worth a shot.

I live in the Northeast. I don't seem to have any of those problems. In addition, I use glasses for reading, at my age, so I must miss a lot of these errors. I tell you. Life is good as you get older. You pass over a lot of bad stuff you can't see. ;)

I tried that. Didn't work. It must've been a corrupted file somewhere.
 
Hmm take the widget out, restart phone and maybe add it again? Don't know.

I did that. I didn't want to reset my phone, believe me. It's the only thing that fixed it.
