We have a Diamond Background Changer which changes wallpaper according to time of the day. Would it be great also if we also have a wallpaper changer that can changes background according to battery life remaining?

Probably we can also 'remove' the battery indicator at the top taskbar (freeing up space for a cleaner look) if such an app is possible.


* Just a suggestion. I do not have any programming knowledge hence i don't know if this is even possible. :)


Thank you

Would you really install it and use it?

sure its, even quite "easy" to do, just adapt the mortscript from the daylight background changer, to take the batterystatus as input instead of the time...

i remember i saw some commands in the mortscript manual whic make it possible to read out battery status...

but on the other hand, why would you want it? you already have a battery indicator right on top of all things....
having a changing background to indicate status doesnt seem logical to me...

Well Ithink it would be very handy if the background would slowly change from green to red using backgrounds in according colours...

i think it's a great idea.

of course i would use it, haha. I have to admit that i'm an app / rom junkie.

Anyway i was thinking if it would be great to remove the whole top and bottom taskbars for a totally 'windowmobileless' look. BUt to do that we need something to replace the battery/ network/ connection/ sound indicators.

The Quickstart menu shouldn't be a problem as i have high hopes for 'touchlaunch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437773)'

I actually think this is not a bad idea at all. If you look at some of the colour battery icons, this kind of makes sense. The moment your phone is activated for whatever reason, you can immediately see that status of the battery, without having to look at the (rather small) icon on the taskbar

Great idea, I would use it too! We could add a corresponding battery symbol on each wallpaper, like in S2U2 but smaller

Cool idea, I think also if the wallpaper could change based on the weather that would be really cool.
