Updates

Code:

October 23 2010
► Fixed issue with Taiwan region format (weather wouldn't update)
► Moved settings.xml to main theme folder (for convenience)
► Added "data saver" mode to settings. New setting "forecast" adds the ability to turn off weather forecast data - reducing data consumption by 75%.
► Added Icons folder for app-store icons. This fixes the issue with black backgrounds on transparent app-store icons.
► Updated readme.txt file with new instructions for adding icons.
► Added additional com.apple.weather icons [email protected] and Icon-Celsius.png. Fixes issue where themed weather icon wasn't working in certain regions.
► Added ability to have a single, non-zooming slide. Just edit slideindex.txt to a single slide.

October 12 2010
► Fixed misnamed Facebook and Twitter icons (let's hope)
► Added GameCenter icon (I think)
► Added three new images from by John Carey (http://www.fiftyfootshadows.net)
► Changed date format in bottom status bar. Should work better for different locales.
► Changed the way slides are organized - there's now a slideindex.txt file in the slides folder. No longer a need to edit Widget.html
► Added three variations of the overlay (OverlayHD2, OverlayHD3, OverlayHD4 in folder theme/images) - based on requests.

October 3 2010
► Added icons for all stock apps, plus twitter, ifile, winterboard, bitesms, facebook
► Fixed themePump issue showing wrong day of week
► Added five new images from by John Carey (fiftyfootshadows.net)
► Simplified slide names to slide01.jpg, slide02.jpg, etc.

You bet. Put your images into the slides folder, then edit widget.html to include your images. Here's what the code in widget.html looks like:

Code:

  // SLIDES - they can point to any location on your phone, or a url on the internet
  //   image  - The location of the image to display, such as a location on your phone
  //            or a url on the internet.
  //   zoom   - The starting level of zoom.
  //   origin - Use this property to change the starting origin of the zoom. The origin 
  //            is expressed as a percentage of the size of the element (x and y).  For 
  //            example, the default value 50% 50% causes the zoom to start at the center 
  //            of the slide.  Changing the origin to 100% 0% causes transformation to 
  //            occur around the top-right corner of the slide, etc.
  var slide = [
    { image: "slides/enjoy_your_life.jpg", origin: "35% 65%" },
    { image: "slides/when_im_gone_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "15% 60%" },
    { image: "slides/going_home2_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "50% 15%" },
    { image: "slides/still_waiting_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "100% 100%" },
    { image: "slides/jujube_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "100% 100%" },
    { image: "slides/hasselblad_sunset_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "0% 0%" },
    { image: "slides/moving_up_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "42% 10%" },
    { image: "slides/mnml_beach_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "0% 95%" },
    { image: "slides/tracing_your_footsteps2_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "45% 70%" },
    { image: "slides/of_clouds3_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "55% 70%" },
    { image: "slides/in_your_shadow_3_iphone[1].jpg", origin: "60% 35%" },
    { image: "slides/perfect_speed_IPHONE[1].jpg", origin: "100% 30%" },
    { image: "slides/hold_on_tight2_IPHONE[1].jpg", origin: "38% 68%" },
  ];

You can also change how often the image changes:

Code:

  // SLIDE ROTATION FREQUENCY (in minutes)
  var slideRotation = 0.3;

Yes, it was built for ip4, but should work on 3GS too

I'm saying no - the animations and transitions are applied by the widget. You can point to any images on your device though...

Many icons don't change. AppStore, biteSMS, calculator etc. How can I fix it?
