I LOVE the widgets that come with Noki for iPad. And how cool is it at the Theme it app for iPad is now live?
The web. No shortage of wallpaper web sites out there. A favorite place for me is Deviant Art dot com.
Decided to start fresh the other night, and haven't messed with winterboard to much yet.
This is the only page...
..and you have to scroll down to see the folders. Its really simple but i like it so far.

How did you get the Noki logo to replace the iPad text in the status bar? Thanks!
I took the carrier theme from the Theme It blog and changed the SD images names to Black_CARRIER_IPAD.png and Black_CARRIER_IPAD.png and put them both into UIImages. It works like a charm for any SD carrier.
Sweet! Thanks so much - for some reason I was thinking that iPad didn't have a carrier png so it would be more complicated than that.
I'd love a nice widget that would fit on the right side of my screen, I'd change wallpaper and have the widget where the microphone is. Something with the date, time, and weather maybe. I'm always in landscape mode. If anyone knows of anything let me know.
You can probably mod any widget you prefer for a landscape-only setup--they're not much different than modding iPhone ones, and I know you know how to mod those.
I tend to stick to portrait, but I did something similar with LS Breeze (available on Cydia), only aligning everything on the left instead of the right:
It has a word-only weather setup that I'm only using on the LS, not the SB, so it's not visible in this shot. But this should give you an idea of how something like this would look.
The only issue I can think of that would definitely be a factor is using weather icons. For that, you'll need to add a webkit rotation line to the weather icon style section (if you use a widget with weather) to rotate it sideways. The actual line of code to do this should be the same as it is in any rotated text (such as the year in the one above), though you may need to change the direction of the rotation depending on which way you hold your iPad.
(Note--this will NOT rotate the widget with turns of the iPad, all it will do is align the weather icon with the "top" of the screen in whatever position the iPad is usually held.)
Actually, you'll probably have to rotate everything like that, because really, you're designing a widget that's either at the top or bottom of the screen, as far as the HTML is concerned. (Bottom if you hold the home button to the right, top if you hold it to the left.) But again, it's really just adding a rotation line to each element.

Thank you for the help, this info helps a lot. I'm lost with the rotation issue, but now I know where to start. And the info on the weather icons is good to know. I will download LS Breeze to give me something to play around with. Thanks again for the help.
In Breeze--find this line under "year" in the style section:
Code:
-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);That's telling the HTML "rotate just this element one quarter turn to the left" (counterclockwise to the top, as indicated by the "-" sign in front of the 90deg). You'll need to add a similar line to each element in the widget to make it align according to your top in landscape, and change the degree of rotation accordingly.
So if I were going to layout the exact same widget, aligned to the left in landscape, on an ipad where I held the home button on the right side, the year would actually remove the rotation entirely, because the top of the 2011 would already be facing the right way. The time, date, and day would all have to be rotated 90° clockwise (no "-" sign) so the top of each line aligned with the top of my screen.
To do the same layout with the button held on the left side, I'd have to rotate the year by 180°, and the other lines by -90. (And move it to the "bottom" of the screen as seen in portrait, otherwise it would be on the right side--I promise it sounds more complicated than it is; it's honestly no more difficult than anything you've tackled on the iPhone side. It just seems weird because we don't have to think in terms of rotation for the iPhone, which is why I never change my iPad screen. LOL)
You might try both of these and get a feel for how rotation affects your elements before trying to work out the best overall position for each line.
Well, I'm off to bed. I will try to figure this out tomorrow, I'll probably get it rigt when iOS5 comes out
.Thanks again for helping me with this, I'll let you know how it goes. So far, I can't even figure out why these widgets are showing up like this, but I haven't done much yet:
Anyone have these wallpapers?
This looks great!
Is this a specific theme or a combination of wallpaper/widgets? Do you mind sharing the source for this?
Oh...I'm loving my iPad. The widgets are iPad LS Swap (also modded for my springboard) and a snow widget from badGB for iPhone (modded for iPad and lockscreen). The theme itself is Legacy Pro (beta) by iNitzua. It'll be out soon...so look for it and buy it!
