Choose Widget Background

  • Start creating widget  by picking the background image you will use as the basis for your widget from gallery. You’ll need to create this separately on a desktop or by it using Image editors and copy it to your device. Save it as a .PNG file if you want to have a transparent background for widget. The total pixel size must be less than 160k pixels.
  • Select Edit objects > Background

Locate Image And Set Aspect ratio

  • Navigate Use Image Aspect Ratio as shown below and tap Use Image Aspect Ratio and Save. You might need to reload the image if you got crashed or wrong aspect ratio.

  • Select Add/Remove Objects

Place Added Objects Into Right Place

  • The added Object appears small in the top of the screen. Use Edit Object to choose the object. Use the Position control to move it towards the location on your background image you want it to take. Check mark the ‘Faster movement’ option to move it quicker, then un check mark it again for a more refined placement. 
  • Select Edit objects > Object > Position

 

Resize The Added Object

  • Now swipe to Controls and tap the Scale button. You can now adjust the size of the clock object using the slider, and then tap the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons for more precise control. Use this in conjunction with the Position option in step 5 to get the clock in just the right spot on your custom widget. 
  • Select Edit objects > Object >Size

Make A Test

  • Add your widget in the normal way, picking UCCW from the widget list and choosing whatever size you want – your widget will be resized as you need it. Place the widget on one of your home screens and tap the Touch here icon that appears in order to launch it. If it doesn't look good, go to UCCW App and edit widget, and reform it.

Put It In Action
