Sync Widget

I am experimenting with different home screens for my HTC Desire. So far I'm testing out Home++, Launcher PRO and ADW.

The only thing that I haven't managed to find which will let me switch from ever using Sense again is HTC's widgets.

I have found alternatives for the bookmarks widget and one for the calendar, although not perfect, it will suffice.

The one thing I haven't found a replacement for is a sync button. HTC has a many toggle widgets and there is one that when pressed, it will begin syncing everything. I find this handy, so I can sync everything when I want, rather than hourly or whatever.

Note that this isn't a widget for turning on or off auto sync, it's a button so it syncs everything when pressed.

Is there a widget that does this? I have extended controls which covers everything but this!
 
Power Controol Widget and Extended Controls.

As said in my post, I'm using Extended Controls, but that just turns on and off the auto sync. I want a button that syncs everything when I press it, not to turn on and off auto sync.

I'll look at the other one, but I have a feeling it'll do the same thing.

It will do the same.
 
So is there a widget that when I click on it, it will sync everything, rather than just switch auto sync on and off?
 
I just downloaded the app "Synker" from market.
It's still in beta but it has a "sync all" widget, much like the HTC stock one, and it seems to work just fine.
