Weatherwall time and weather changing background

**holdemdogg** · 02-27-2010, 04:16 PM

Version 2.1 Ready for download Please read the what you get section above the version 2.1 download link

This can be used on top of almost any theme!! You have to set it this up first as instructed in this post then which ever theme you are using (I use and suggest the minimum Pro theme found on cydia by bluemetal) delete all the info.plist, wallpaper.html that is in the main folder of the theme you want to use and that way this will show up and you can have all the UI of other themes!!!!! Make sure weatherwall is above the other one in winterboard!!

Heres a theme I put together from multiple scripts and weatherwidgets. i am not taking full credit for all the scripts and graphics but I will take credit for putting them together and modifing them for this awesome theme.

What you get in this theme is full background weather that also changes shade and darkness of the wallpaper depending on the time of day or night for your springboard and lockscreen. on the lockscreen the weather doesnt show but the wallpaper changes depending on the time of day. You also get a 5 day forecast using lockinfo also has matching weather icons included and everything else lockinfo has to offer ex: notifications and alerts on screen. You also get a live rss feed if you do not want this just delete the ticker files in the main theme folder it will go away and want throw off the placement of the weather icons.

I redone all the HTC weather icons to be accurate as accurate aspossible for night and day. If there is not an icon avaible then you will see the background. Also made them semitransparent, so you can use your own background if you wish just select user background in winter board make sure it is above weatherwall. this will chnage your springboard wall not your lockscreen. If you wish to change your lockscreen wall you must delete the lockbackgroundhtml.
When you use you own wall it will not change shade depending on the time of day or night. I can make the walls for you if you give me a pic to go by.

What you need to run this theme the same as shown:
1. Lockinfo make sure in settings you have homescreen selected
2. weathericon lockinfo plugin
3. categories

Setup

Go to Lockinfo settings and turn on home page and under Homescreen turn on Use Existing First Page

You must go into the configureme file and add your location for the full weather not the lockinfo it sets up auto depending on which location you have set first in the stock weather app

Create 6 catergories folders named:
Catergories
Apps
Games
Media
WebApps
System

Put all your apps and stuff in the last 5 folders as you wish then put those 5 folders in the Catergories folders and your done.

Setup up dock as shown in pic.

No iblanks needed this a one page theme. but you can use as many pages as you like because the lockinfo stays on the home page not the other ones.

Thanks to whomever wrote the orignal scripts for weatherwidget and for the wallpaper changing script. They have been passed around and changed so much I lost track and I also changed them to.

Special thanks to blue metal for letting me use a few of his wonderfull icons. The whole set is not included just the ones you see on the screen.

**SnowLeo** · 02-27-2010, 04:54 PM

Thanks so much!! been looking for a weather widget like this to utilize in a theme I wanted to make. Thanks so much man it looks great. Is there any possibility you can make like the rain and snow animated gifs?

**holdemdogg** · 02-27-2010, 07:26 PM

Thank you very much.

I have actually been trying to do the animated part but I am new to editing the scripts and such but I am working on it I'm sure there is a way I'll just have to find it

Everyone keep in mind time zones are changing soon so I might have to change some pics around to make up for this.

First post is updated with instruction on how to set this up with almost any theme!!!!

Thank you henners

**kwickone** · 02-28-2010, 08:35 AM

Very nice work holdemdogg! Thanks.

Just curious why you did not include the weather changing on the lockscreen? Would that use battery even when asleep?

Thanks again!

**holdemdogg** · 02-28-2010, 08:40 AM

I left the weather off the lockscreen cause there are so many good ones out there I like wedapanel it goes real nice with this theme you just have to delete the lockbackground HTML in my theme and place which ever lockscreen weather you want under this theme in winterboard

**tiger007** · 02-28-2010, 09:30 AM

only the weather box - i make a picture from my home town , but i want to change night / day ...

**holdemdogg** · 02-28-2010, 08:27 PM

Doing just the weather box will mean redoing this whole theme I'll work on it for you as I get time I'll need the pic you want to use

Actually this will not be to hard please upload the pic you want here and I'll make it

I guess no bugs to report

that's always a good thing

**holdemdogg** · 03-02-2010, 07:13 AM

New wallpapers coming soon. What kind does everyone think I need to make cars, women, sceneries?

This is a very cool theme, but lacking one key reason I’m not downloading it in my opinion: As much as I love 24/hour changing walls, they need to be consistent with the time of day it is versus the weather. For example: 8pm, it should have a night background (Not a sunny day). There are very few of them around but these are a few examples of the ones I’m using now:
