App Request/Idea: Wallpaper Weather

Tasselhof · 02/26/2010, 09:36 AM

In place of having an active home page...

My suggestion is combining the feature of Switcharoo w/ a Weather program.

The App would pull the appropriate weather information for your zip code, and then take/use a screenshot, which the Switcharoo type portion would put as your wallpaper.

The app would need to be able to set the refresh interval, and I would suggest use the same image name each time so that it doesn't build a library of old screenshots.

Other Suggestions/Features:
Ability to put the type/how much information you want displayed
Temp, Current Condition, High, Low, Sunrise, Sunset, Daily/Weekly forcast etc..
Timestamp to show last updated.

Thanks

I believe this has already been done if I'm not mistaken.

Weatherman

Update: I'm unsure if Weatherman will work with Switcharoo, but I'm sure you could find the answer by searching the forums.

Thank you... I should have known it already existed.
