Colourform widgets: wireframe previews

We're working on two theme packs: Large Text and Colourform. Both will use the same design style and components. Colourform is a lot of work so it's going to be our first paid widget pack ($0.99). To make sure we don't have any hiccups, we're going to lead with a free, smaller version of Large Text widgets which will have all of the same features but fewer layouts.

The Large Text pack is in response to users who have have asked that we make widgets that are easier to read. We added a few Large Text widgets to Glass Gems, but this will be a pack based on the new design style.

These are just wireframes, but as you can see the theme was designed to support the native ICS/JB aesthetic. The idea of these two packs is to let the user change the color of most everything: backgrounds, icons, separators, text, etc. We're using Climacons as the new weather icons (you can color them too). You'll also notice more emphasis on utilities like next alarm & battery. When we get to HDW 4.0 we'll have a lot more widgets for stuff like missed calls, SMS, etc.

We expect to release the free Large Text widget pack mid-November which should include all of the features of both packs. Colourform will follow around the end of the month. It will have a TON of layouts which means it will take longer to test on many devices.
