Fancy Widgets has been one of those love it or hate it sort of apps since it came out. Sergey Demyanov, developer of BBTran, came up with a creative way to offer multiple widgets on BlackBerry devices by swapping out the wallpaper. While other apps also do this I don’t know of any that have as many options as Fancy Widgets. They also recently updated Fancy Widgets to v1.2 which adds better looking widget along with:
- Improved Clock Widget. It is now Digital Clock. Supports custom fonts.
- Fixed some Wallpaper switcher bugs
- Reworked all widget settings, added more visual customizations
- Totally reworked Weather widget. Added location picker, 3 layout templates and icon packs support
- Reworked Stocks widget. It has now 3 layout templates
- A lot of internal fixes to improve stability of the app
One of the reasons that Fancy Widgets gets either rave or ranting reviews is because many users do not understand how it works. To alleviate that fact Sergey has now made registration optional and the app works in a free mode for up to two widgets.
You can pick up the free trial (2 widgets for free) or full version ($2.99) in App World at this link. Let us know what you think of the update!

That’s my issue. I just picked this up but have yet to get it working. It must be a theme issue I figured. I actually haven’t “played” with it much either.
