Hi all! I'm Digitalhigh. I port MIUI for the evo 3d. Resultingly, I've spent a lot of time lately trying to get every little detail perfected. One of the things that bugs me is that the 2x4 weather widget is broken from the factory. Or, to be more precise, the weather feature refuses to work because they rely on their own built-in weather app, which doesn't work in the US.
There exist several clones of this app with varying functionality...one doesn't locate your position, another doesn't default to the system clock, etc., etc.
So, I set out to find a method to properly emulate the MIUI weather app without any loss of functionality or requirement to bounce between six different programs - and discovered UCCW.
(This is probably a great time to point out how bada$$ UCCW is. A lot of widgets are customizeable, but this one takes the cake. The built in WYSIWYG editor is just awesome).
The above image is the full set of weather icons created for this. I'd say about 75% of them are pulled straight from MIUI framework, and the other 25% were created by me to fill in the missing requirements for UCCW.

And, as you can see, the output is pretty danged good. I am still playing with fonts and such, but for now, I'd like to get feedback on how all the weather icons look. I live in the frigid wasteland known as Wisconsin, so most of my weather updates are going to be very nonplussed. So, if anybody using this has issues reading over any of the weather images, please take a screenshot and post it for me and I'll see what I can do for that image. Thanks!! :D
As this is designed for MIUI, the assigned hotzones are linked to MIUI apps, and may not work on other ROMS. If you know how to use UCCW, then you know it should be a snap to map these to your ROM's apps.
ALSO, this is designed for the evo 3d's screen, so I'm not sure how the dimensions will work out on other devices. Please let me know.
But - the clock links to the miui deskclock, the date links to the calendar, and clicking the weather icon links to the trusty ol' google news and weather app. Tap the top-right to get into UCCW editor.
So, yeah. Be gentle. I know the corners need a little work and it's my ultimate goal to fully scale the weather icons and add more features, but for what it is, I think it's a good start. :D
