Animated Widget 1.7.1 is released on Google Play. This is minor release that fixes some critical bugs. In particular:

• Partly fixed the problem with incorrect resizing of widgets on non-standard launchers with grid 5x5 (i.e. Go Launcher Ex, Nova Launcher). Now widget has correct proportions on grid 5x5, but has a smaller size.

Animated Widget and Next Launcher

It looks like Animated Widget is incompartible with current version of Next Launcher 3D (v.1.32). When you click on the widget the buttons appear at the top of screen no matter where the widget is located.


The source of the problem is in incorrect screen coordinates that function Intent.getSourceBounds returns to Animated Widget under Next Launcher 3D. As soon as this function is the only way to know screen coordinates of the widget, widget is forced to use incorrect coordinates and shows itself in wrong possition of the screen.

Hope, developers of Next Launcher 3D will fix this problem in next versions. There is no convenient way to fix it on the side of Animated Widget.
