Description
From the listing uploaded by “clubhouse”.
Do you need a multitude of time and weather related info on a single screen? Who says screen will get cluttered? Slap this skin on your UCCW widget and be amazed. This much info on a single widget has never looked so cool.
* Pack contains two UCCW skins.
* Blocks - for Time, Date, Missed call count, current weather, Next alarm time.
* Hotspot trigger for alarm, calendar, calls.
* Blocks-Battery - for Battery status
* You can assign your favorite apps to each of these sections. Tap on them to launch those apps.
* Each info in its separate block; keeps things clutter free.
* Important info in big fonts; one quick glance is enough.
To use this skin, you have to install, apply and optionally edit/assign hotspots to the skin.
