Sadly other sizes of home screen widgets are not supported in Symbian SDK.
We also wanted to have a smaller sized widget or maybe a widget with more pixel in height, but there is no official way to do that.

Hi Stefan,No, it's not possible to have a different size home screen widget with the Symbian SDK at the moment.
Is it possible to make smaller or bigger widgets with this MSN API?
I'm a fan of qooApps btw.

But Stefan Already Told....He will try on that !Thats why i said "at the moment" ..........

Hello,I prefer to call WRT widgets "real apps" personally as it's what i write my apps in..
actually we cannot use any other size than 312x82px.
The only way is to find some hidden tricks.
Remember there are 2 types of widgets: Apps or WRT Widgets.
WRT are java/website based. But we develop only real Apps.
For the moment it would help, if we can find out the correct
keyword for the smaller widget. Actually we use 'wideimage'.
Sadly there is no documentation for other sized widgets :(
Does anybody has some information?
Stefan
Thanks Pranil, but Symbian and QT is very complicating using widgets because:
With newer version of QT (ANNA or BELLE) it is not possible to build a widget project, because there is a bug in memory stack, so this app will immediately crash.
But the smaller/bigger widgets are maybe not available at S60 5rd Symbian. I read of a widget-type called 'shortcut', but I cannot create such a widget.
But what you guys want is to have all infos like clock, battery, date and (tell me what - weather?) in one row? Maybe it would be an option to create such an app with exact this widget?

I heard about that memory stack problem, but there are hs widgets with different sizes are Selva showed above, an good example is the Tasks app.

I had requested d13 (the developer of the Date widget) to share a sample widget project template. Although he declined to do so, here's an earlier reply that may help someone figure it out:
Hello,
There is no size limit imposed by Belle. The size of the widget can be any multiple of lines and columns (not pixels). Everything is possible, including your calendar. The only problem is i don't know if it's worth the effort developing the widget, since i believe there is no much request for it.
Regards,
d13

Hello, How did you get around the 312x82 px homescreen widget size limit imposed by Belle? Can you make a 156x124 px widget for displaying the entire month's calendar? Something like this: http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=86530.0;attach=229819;image Thanks
I'm using HsWidgetPublisher-API. There are two functions to create a widget - both want a template name - no pixel sizes etc. But there are only templates with the size of 312x82px. With Belle you cannot use this API because there is an unfixed bug in QT that will crash the app - no chance for fix.Is there any way you could buy one of those homescreen widgets that have different size settings and try to find how it's done ?
Thanks for the hints, but without a sample how to integrate in Qt C++, it wont help.

If the widget is in QML than its possible to see - but we cannot use QML.I never even knew there was QML homescreen widgets :O
With Qt C++ I have to decompile the app and this is piracy.
We are no pirates ;)

I must correct myself: The Date Widget (from d13) its a WRT Widget.
It show only information and its more a static and nontransparent widget.
But we using C++ and the APIs - NOKIA has cut off any development, documentation and support for these APIs.
So we just have one size for widgets, but a lot of options and customization.
The Date Widget has nothing to customize and just a very simple style. :P
Happy New Year - Stefan
