Hi All,
I just realized that there is no official thread on XDA where users can share ZW home screens, themes and ideas, so I'm creating one. If you do not know it yet, well, Zooper Widget is a minimal, classy, extremely customizable and battery friendly "do it yourself" Home Screen Widget with almost limitless possibilities.

HOMEPAGE: http://zooper.org/wp/android/zw
MARKET (FREE): https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....zooper.zwfree
MARKET (PRO): https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...g.zooper.zwpro
ICONSETS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2084070
Main features
WYSISYG Widget editor with unlimited Text, Series, Progress Bars, Bitmaps and Shapes. Every aspect is customizable, you can use tons of variables with any kind of data or modify them using conditionals, math expressions, text filters and more (more info, examples and variable reference on the website)
Free/Pro
Free version on the market is full featured, you can create the same layouts as the Pro, the only difference is that Free does not allow you to save them, it-s ad based, and has no "hotspot" functionality. Developing software and fixing bugs takes a huge amount of time that's why i needed to split it in two releases, hope you'll understand.
How to share screens and templates
When you save your template Zooper Widget (PRO) stores two files in the SD card, under "ZooperWidget" folder, one is a PNG with a screenshot of your awesome creation (so you can easily post it to the forum) the other one is a ".zw" file containing the template itself. The ".zw" is a zip archive with all the data in it, so if you used Bitmaps, external Fonts, Iconsets or any other resource you won't need to distribute them, those items will be part of the ".zw" template and will be extracted automatically. To load the template on another device you just need to place it in the ZooperWidget SD card folder and load it.
Resizing
Zooper Widget does not natively support automatic resizing, if you resize the widget you will need to go into configuration again and adapt the items, this was partially intentional because both text and bitmaps looks much better in their native size, a solution is under evaluation.
What's next?
Zooper Widget is always a work in progress, we just released Bitmap support and we're now working on really exciting features requested by users (and yes, if you have any idea just ask!). Most important upcoming stuff is:
An XDA members only, full featured, Beta version will be released soon in this thread if some of you will want to test new features above! If you need support please use the support forum on the website as this thread should be used just for sharing home screens and templates, thanks!!

Zooper Widget is always a work in progress, we just released Bitmap support and we're now working on really exciting features requested by users (and yes, if you have any idea just ask!). Most important upcoming stuff is:
- Ability to group or tag layers and move / edit them at once (but remember you can already use the copy/paste functionality to copy one property to multiple items at once)
- Full advanced controls of every widget aspect with variables, this means you will be able to set X/Y offset of one item based on variables or conditionals (for example you'll be able to create an item at position 0 at midnight and 100 at noon). Together with this feature some new parameter will be added, like "Arc Offset" and "Arc Rotation" in order to create Analog Clocks or any "circular" moving item
