One of Android’s greatest strength is customisation. UCCW takes
this idea further to let you customise widgets on homescreen. Even
without rooting your device or installing a custom ROM or
installing a special launcher you can do some incredible things to
shape your phone to be just the way you want it. UCCW or Ultimate
Custom Widget is a widget that lets you place custom clocks battery
meters weather info and just about anything else right on your
homescreen. There is a sheer number of skins available on Google
Play and shared in various forums and more skins are being added
all the time.
Customization is often a difficult process but not with UCCW. Just install a skin and tell UCCW to show it or make your own skin.
UCCW offers a WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor allowing to customise layout fonts images shapes etc.
Features:
Widget objects - text shapes images weather graphic (progress) analog clock etc.
Text objects - calendar weather battery info missed calls sms gmail location next calendar event tasker variables
Graphical objects - barcode bar pie
Special objects - Week bar Series clock
Text mapping to override text values
Hotspots (actionable areas on widget)
Share skins with one press
Ability to customize objects for size color tranparency fonts etc.
