[Idea] Weather Live Wallpaper

---

Just a quick suggestion to android devs who may want to make a buck or two!

Make a live wallpaper that pulls weather information down every hour or so and sets the background to that animated weather. The goal would be to get it working the same way as the HD2's animated weather backgrounds do.

I'd code this myself if I could, but I'm a little bit on the coding-challenged side. I'll type a few lines of code regardless and see what I can do.

If someone did this elegantly I would definitely pay for it!

EDIT: The developer of 'Beautiful Widgets' has said he's working on exactly this. When paired with the Beautiful Home Widget, it will display a live animation of the current weather based on what the widget's weather is.

I wouldn't.... All I'd see is rain!

No, sounds really clever and frees up screen space as no widget required!

Whoops, posted in the wrong forum. Sorry!

Oh very nice! Not an original concept, but it is an interesting thought! I would love for this to be done.

No it's a blatant ripoff of the HD2 UI. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be sweet though.

There's a few live wallpapers in the marketplace at the moment that are very close to this idea. One switches the background based on weather to a static image of your choice, and the other pulls down Flickr pictures around your area of the current weather.

What if you don't want the clock on the screen though?
