  • Can't find the blank app or transparent app, so I tried this one. Sad, wasted my time though. Such a hassle to use and adjust.
  • the widget color and background wallpaper. But after understanding how to it works i got it fixed. We simply have to take a screenshot of the wallpaper after its been set on the phone background and then use that screenshot to make the widgets
  • the widget is always a bit brighter than anything behind it, so you can see the border all around it.
