Oh my gosh so awesome.
Never thought it would happen going to download right now

Looks awesome, but it crashes springboard





It persists after restarting, I;m thinking its FCSB thats causing the issues

Got the safe mode on install too, rebooted, still in Safe Mode.  Opened WinterBoard, checked off the Weather Icon, then it works perfectly!  Good work   Updates will be cool

an excerpt from my syslog:

in case it helps!

Feature request: let the icon just be that of the stock Weather app (sun on blue background) with only the temperature that changes. it's subtle that way, and doesn't change the entire look of the icon. after all, you usually know whether it's sunny or raining out, but a quick glance to check the exact current temperature is always useful.

Note: I can confirm that applying the theme in Winterboard fixes the crashings. and, that I can fulfill the above feature request all by myself just by deleting the PNGs in that theme, and getting rid of the existing temperature on the stock icon.

Seems to be YahooWeather
http://weather.yahoo.com/

Also change to
      <key>Celsius</key><true/>
for Celsius

Thanks everyone for posting the issue with running this without the theme turned on.  I'll have a fix up this morning.

Edit: Sorry about the crashes everyone.  It's fixed in 1.1.  I hope everyone will give it another shot.

Almost perfect but now on weather icon I can see the current temperature and the one which is on the default weather icon at the same time.

Could you fix it by changing default icon or something?

I'm actually purposely leaving that to the theme developers since you'll want the background icon to match the theme.  Most themes offer a blank icon that you can put in your theme for the weather app.

Could you add the option to display only the weather and no images?

And how often does it refresh?

If you create a theme with no images, no images will show.  But until I allow customized text styles, it'll just be the small temp in the bottom.  It refreshes every 30 minutes.  I'm going to make that configurable.

Request: can you make this (or a variant of it) so that the temperature text is exactly the same font, size, placement, and style as Apple's stock icon? as I said, I'm trying to retain a fairly default-looking springboard, at least on the first page, and want the text to show up in my modified with the same 'look' as apple's default 73°. A handy, but almost unnoticeably subtle difference.

The differences between the stock icon's and this enhancement's text may seem negligible, but when shrunken down on iPhone's ultra-detailed screen, it stands out rather clearly to an eye that's used to looking at a homescreen full of defaults-- especially that the text isn't centered the same way, and is slightly larger, with a different faint 'shadow' effect.

Adam,could you send me that modyfied icon to heniek82@gmail.com ?
This is the one I'm looking for.
