Hi Christian,

You should be able to create more then one 1x1 widget.
I have momentarely 2 to test.
Like Pasha wrote, it's best to remove the old widgets first and then create new ones.
Whenever you create a new one, you are asked for a location.
I have one from Leiden/The Netherlands and one from Ohio/USA.
When I press the one from Leiden I see the weather in The Netherlands on my wallpaper.
Press on Ohio and you get USA weather on your wallpaper (only Ohio of course).

I hope this helps you.

Widget and wallpaper works perfect and I like the new feature.
When I tap the 1x1 widget the app don't open like it used to.
Great work

On my phone it works less perfect.
Smallest widget = 2x1. Which is to big.
4x1 widget is resizable, but not all info can be read it drops over the top and bottom.
Fred, can you provide a screen shot please. It would be perfect if you can post the screen-shot without scaling the picture.

The film will be removed in the next build.

I don't see any way on my rather old Android 4.03 devices.

Edit: neither on my 4.2.2 device

The widgets are called 1x1 YoWindow and 4x1 YoWindow
They must be available on Android 2.3+

Hi Pasha,

Two remarks.
1 - The little widgets have changed overnight from 2x1 to 1x1 :%)
2 - I've found the overlap issue. It only occurs at the bottom of the screen.

I have the following examples:
1st 4x1 widget Leiden
2nd 2 times 1x1 widget Leiden and Mansfield
3rd 4x1 widget Mansfield

The last one is overlapping.

Fred, thank you for the very good report!

I'm confused about why the same widget 4x1 looks different at the top and at the bottom.
I wish I could have an access to the device.
If you to exchange 4x1 widgets locations, will Leiden to be displayed badly as well?

[UPDATE]
Fred, what is the phone model?

Pasha,

Here's a new screenshot where I've exchanged the 4x1 widgets.
Leiden at the bottom and Mansfield at the top.

I've also selected the bottom widget.
Please note the smaller blue outline compared to the normally bigger 4x1 outline.

My device is a HTC One X, Android 4.2.2.

Fred, thank you soooooooo much.
Selecting the outline of the widget given me a hint.
This widget must be 4x2, not 4x1 dimension, otherwise it will look bad under certain conditions.
I hope the problem will go away with a fix in the next build.


Thank you!
