[IDEA]Weather widget/wallpaper interaction - Android Themes

I was running the Xperia Launcher with its nice animated weather widget when this happened :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It seems like the wallpaper I chose and the weather widget decided to match each other in style. It looks gorgeous (at least, to me) and it made me think of a great widget/wallpaper combinaton that could be explored : imagine a animated weather widget app that would change your wallpaper according to the weather, in order to have them both matching in style. The result would be a still wallpaper image that would be only animated in the widget's frame. Actually, there could be a all set of widgets like that...
I know there are ways to achieve something similar already through several apps or automated tools but the only way to make it look good in my opinion is to have the animated weather widget being based on the wallpaper image itself, not just something "kind of" similar.
What do you guys think ?

beautiful widgets allows you to use any wallpaper you want and overlays it with animated current conditions to make it a live wallpaper. The background wallpaper stays the same but the effects that are added are excellent quality. so for example if it's cloudy your wallpaper will have clouds moving across the top of your screen.... If it's foggy then the entire wallpaper is covered in a moving misty fog.... If it's raining there are clouds moving across the screen with rain falling from them and water droplets appearing on your screen. and to be clear, the weather conditions and animations are constant. It's not a simple "opening effect" as I've seen on some apps.

(APP) "Color My Clock" - Desktop Clock with a Twist

Check out "Color My Clock" in the market.
It's a colorful desk clock and live wallpaper... I made a quick video (you don't have to check my video, but check the app out) only because it looks so good on the Nexus S true black SAMOLED screen.
Enjoy!

These are the Free Color My Clock. Check them out and let me know what you guys think.
cool concept but i need to know the exact time when im looking at a clock, and it'd be time consuming to count the individual dots or to even glance out how many there are. good job though!
Its not my app.. I just thought I share it with the community.
I think its a little different from all the other clocks. It kind of reminds me of the polar clock live wallpaper.

The cool thing that happens is you start to tell time by color. One begins look at a regular digital and change it to this colorful version. People text me that certain times are cool. This is a new method of numbers mainly to teach the young uns. Thanks for the feedback. Props to leyvatron for doing a Color My Clock review on youTube.

[LOCKSCREEN] Windows7 Login Style with variations

My profile Picture is 180x186 pixels. It looks better if you give it slight rounded corners and a border. (Only in the first preview)
Profile Pic was set as the background of an Elixir Widget and the application it linked to was my launcher (or anything that takes you to the homescreen)
The text below it ( "Name, Locked" )was made with minimalistic text.
Layout done with WidgetLocker, so there is lots of room for customization and improvement. I'm also considering doing a slider in the style of the password field in Win7.
Backgrounds are zipped.
Enjoy!

Great concept, thanks for the idea

wallpapers, gimp, multipicturelivewallpaper

I apologize if this is in the wrong place. But I figured this would be the best place since we have a lot of themers that use photoshop and Gimp.
I decided to start creating my own wallpapers with Gimp. I'm setting my image to a 960x800. However, when I try and set with multipicture live wallpaper on my phone, it cuts it off on the left side when set to 'show full screen' and shortens too much when set to 'show whole image'
I'll attach screens to better illustrate.
So exactly what dimensions do I need to set when using Gimp to make my wallpapers work with my phone screens.
I have a 4.3" screen with ADW ex as the launcher.

Ideally, it should be showing up like the right hand picture but with the home/media/tools text on the left.
Dont know if this will help but this is what i do when I use Multiwall.
I usually use 3 screens on my phone so I make a wallpaper 1440x800 since my res is 480x800 .
I Then crop my wallpaper into Three 480x800 pieces . Then when i get into Multi wall I set it up for the 3 screens and put one on each screen and I dont lose anything .
Hope this helps
Have you tried Super Wall Lite ? That might be an easier option, not too familiar with it though.
I'll check out superwall.
I typically only use 3 screens myself. I have my main screen, a calendar screen, and then a miscellaneous screen. I use folders and shortcuts a lot.
Thanks given!

How does it react to the e ink screen?
In other words, does it ghost a lot?
Also, why is your post in all caps?

It has weather, battery, time, date, various shapes.
It has web gallery where other people share their creations (there is more than 4000 designs at the moment).
If you don't want to pay for editor, you can use widgets from gallery for free using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock.gallery.pro Only disadvantage is that you don't have editor :-(
How does it look on the nook touch?
I used sense Analog clock widget from the market for awhile. pretty complete look at what your are referencing in a 4*2 package. They also make a mini the packs the same info and graphics into a small space. These are both free from the market, and have standard features like launching an app of your choosing by pressing minutes, hours, etc.

I looked all over for WP WIDGET but I'm not finding anything that looks like the pic in post 1.

[App] Lockmix - Change your lockscreen with widgtes: BG, Weather,News, Rss and more

Arrange a great variety of widgets to your lock screen!
Lockmix is a lock screen content provider application that offers a great variety of widgets to be pinned to your lock screen in a way similar to the start screen tiles. It turns your lock screen into a grid where you can pin multiple tiles, which are then updated regularly to display various information. Each widget can be independently moved around, resized or configured just like the tiles pinned to your start screen.
Not enough space on the lock screen? No problem, each widget can be also pinned to the start screen as a live tile.
The widget selection includes common widgets such as weather, news, appointments or battery, uncommon widgets such as countdown, map, currency or RSS, and even fun widgets such as Chuck Norris facts or famous quotes.
As background, you can choose Bing image of the day, solid color fill, custom image, or a collection of custom images that are rotated or shuffled regularly.
The application itself and a lot of the widgets are free. Other widgets can be purchased in-app (with trial).
