Open the .widgy file with the weird name 7. If you get a prompt to enable location on widgy, that's because of the weather portion of the widget. Press on Allow While Using App 8. Once you see the widget with the weird checkered or black background, you'll know you are on the right path. Step 4: Prep & Place Widget 1. Exit Widgy and change you iPhone wallpaper to the wallpaper that's in the folder. You may want to save that wallpaper in the photo gallery first. Depending on your iPhone screen size, you may want to reposition the wallpaper to start from the top, even if it crops the bottom a bit. We want to keep the dark gradient top first. 2. Once your wallpaper is set, hold your finger on the screen to enter jiggle mode and swipe to anew empty screen. Take a screenshot of this screen (while the icons are jiggling). We want to use this snapshot and simulate transparent background in Widgy. 3. Open Widgy's homepage and go to the Manage tab. Click on Set Transparent Background.
