More detailed widets??

[HTCBrian]

Hey fellow sprint htc hero owners! Im a noob when it comes to this stuff but what the hay. Im running Home++ right now but my main question is for some apps id like, instead of just the widget, a more detailed kind of deal? Like ive seen my friends layar app for example and instead of just the widget it was a more detailed display, i am wondering how to implement this(to apps applicable) onto my screens(in the works of customizing them). Id really appreciate any input on the matter, and please if this was brought up in another thread direct me to it.

Sincerely,
Brian

another example would be like the longated nfl widget with info, instead of having to open the icon widget..
