Just a simple way to reproduce the stock weather clock widget in another launcher
including the click action to go in the new stock accuweather app
I tested in NOVA and it works
Basically you need
1) XWidget (download the theme s6)
2) desktop visualizer
3) an image viewer able to create a transparent icon
The procedure is simple
A) Create a transparent icon and save it (the size does not matter)
B) using xwidget create the widget reproducing the stock one (for example size 4x2)
C) create another widget (same size 4x2 again) using desktop visualizer selecting as icon the transparent and as action (using the option others) the shortcut connecting as NOVA stock weather activity
I suggest to have no label, touch effect as NONE and vibration selected as SYSTEM
D) in nova settings----> desktop---> advanced select to permit the overlap
E) overlap the second widget to the first and set bring to front
in this way you will have the widget looking as the stock (thanks to xwidget) and behaving as the stock (thanks to desktop visualizer)
Thanks. I did something very similar with apex launcher. How did you get to the stock S6 accuweather app from Desktop VisualizeR? Was it an option to select when you built the transparent widget overlay?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You create a desktop visualizer widget
As icon you select the transparent
As action you select 'others'
then (in Nova but I believe there is a similar option also in Apex) 'activities'
then you look for the activities related to 'weather' ... the first is the good one
Leave the label field empty
Transparent background
None as touch effect
System as Vibration
Then press OK
Finally overlap the desktop visualizer widget to the xwidget and resize it properly

Hello
All launchers I've seen are tied to bigger or smaller grid.
Is it technically possible to create launcher which:
- allows to position widget freely (no grid)
- allows for widget overlapping
- allows for freeform widgets (not square only)
- allows widgets to animate itself (like animated wallpapers we already have)
For example imagine battery widget in form of water dropping out of container and splashing on clock widget.
