These uccws aim to cover part of the live wall without leaving any gaps.

on main screen there are 4 uccw widgets here, 1 on top with weather, middle time and 3 individuals in the bottom.
Sizes:
Grid size 5×1 with dimension 735×165 for top bar and 3 individuals in the bottom (Thanks BBB for the tips!)
middle time dimension is 472×318 with 3×5 grids.

GS3-

Sizes:
1×8 bar with dimension 965×165

Note: Most icons are not embedded in uccw. They just laid on uccw skins so remember to turn overlapping widgets mode in apex settings.

Icons are holo icons modified by me based on google design icons.

Hope this simple guide can help.
Enjoy!

Cube

2012-10-09T15:27:00.003+08:00

Screen of the day 05/09/12

This theme is using the same method as my previous ‘Swiping Cards’.
The keys of this sort of screens are:
make the wallpaper not scrolling
overlapping widgets (prime only)
use UCCW as background of widgets

Special thanks to @xNiikk and @mathewrice (Colorfulvisuals) for the inspiration of layout design.

Nova Prime settings:

Desktop –
7×7 grid
set ‘none’ for both width and height margin
no search bar
4 homescreens
‘Cube’ scroll effect…of course
Check infinite scroll, resize widgets, widget overlap and overlap when placing

Drawer – up to you doesn’t affect the setup

Dock –
Enable dock
None width margin
Medium dock height
hide divider and shadow

Look and feel –
hide notification bar

UCCW files:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/Cube/uzip.zip

Each surface of cube has 2 to 3 individual uccw widgets and all the weather information is FAKE and static. It’s because I can’t get weather work even I have latest version of UCCW. Please change it back to real info by yourself if it works on your device.

Ask if you are facing difficulties when apply this theme.

Also made for Apex launcher Pro

Apex settings:

8×7 grid
No all margin
Cube out transition effect
Non-scrolling wallpaper mode
Hide notification bar, shadow and icon labels
Hide dock
Check ‘resize any widget and ‘overlapping widgets

Swiping Cards XL

2012-10-09T15:22:00.001+08:00

Another version of Swiping Cards for Galaxy S3.
Made the cards larger by using 2 uccws each screen.

Swiping Cards

2012-10-09T15:19:00.000+08:00

Screen of the Day 26/08/12

Details:
Launcher-
Apex launcher with 10×9 grid, hide notification bar, set all margins to ‘none’, overlapping widgets, widgets in dock, transition effect – ‘Card Stack’, wallpaper mode set to ‘multi screen non-scrolling’

Wallpaper-
Draw a wallpaper with a search bar on top and follow by a picture with frame and a dock at the bottom. If specified screen indicator shows on each screen like mine you need to use multipicture live wallpaper and several wallpapers and set wallpaper mode to ‘multi screen scrolling’ in apex settings.

Cards-
All the card parts are made on the phone by UCCW or UCCW + widgets. For example, the notification card, all elements were done by uccw even the card outlook. For the rss card, uccw as card background and minimal reader widget overlaps on it.
Why I have to make the card layout on the phone? because uccw is widget and only widgets will follow the transition effect (card stack in my screen) when scrolling.

Lockscreen-
Widgetlocker with UCCW card again.

Special thanks to @xNiikk for the inspiration of card design.

Ask if you have question.

Files-
Everything like fonts, uzip files, icons, weather images and wallpapers are in this .zip:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/Swiping%20Cards%20by%20AlexT.zip

Lite version

Side-Tray

2012-10-09T14:43:00.003+08:00

Steps:
1. Make 4 wallpapers for LEFT, HOME, RIGHT and LOCKSCREEN like these:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/SIDE-TRAY/walls.zip
If you want to use own wallpaper, I have also made 4 walls with only the layers but no background.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/SIDE-TRAY/walls_blank.zip

2. on the phone, clear your homescreen and make some changes in Nova settings.
a. 7×7 grid size
b. Width and Height margin set to “None”
c. 3 homescreens
d. Scroll effect set to “Accordion” (Prime only) or “None” (free version); Wallpaper scrolling “ON”
e. Check the boxes of “resize all widgets” and “widget overlap”
f. hide dock and notification bar. Set scroll and animation speed to “Faster than light”
3. Back to home, apply 3 walls (LEFT, HOME, RIGHT) to home using Multipicture live wallpaper. In MLP settings, set transition type to “None”, unchecked “double tap to change pic” and pic change interval to “never”.
4. add apps icons to the 1st column of HOME (count from left). Also add same apps icons to 6th column of LEFT screen. Then change their looks to my roundtransparent icons here:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/SIDE-TRAY/RoundTransparent.zip
Add flipboard and minimal reader widgets to LEFT; UCCW clock to HOME; another UCCW to RIGHT screen.
UCCW skin: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/SIDE-TRAY/vclock.uzip
5. Lockscreen. Go to Widgetlocker settings, change custom wall to LOCKSCREEN, Background tint to transparent, Layout grid size to 7×7, Hide Notification bar and label.
Back to lockscreen, add this UCCW https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/SIDE-TRAY/lsclock.uzip in the middle of the frame.
Slider style:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Lockscreen/widgetlocker/Bullet_Mods_WL/Bullet_Mods_WL/BulletSIMPSLIDE.wltheme.zip
