I want to show my own wallpaper so i set showBackground to "true" and I overwrote the LockBackground.png file with my wallpaper but I am just getting a blank black wallpaper. Any suggestions on how I can show my own image?

Did you write it exactly the same? I had some issues before when I put PNG in caps and that caused issues similiar to watch you were experiencing. Other than that...I don't know.

I thought that'd be it but it isn't. Very strange.
 
Awesome Theme

Wow this theme is awesome and after some heavy work it quite worth it!!

First question does it has the raining wipers because here it has been sunny and I couldn't find out.

and second is there a way to save the weather info so that when my ipod is out of range of a wi-fi it just doesn't show a blank box.

Do what I do, find a location with rainy weather today and change your location variable to see other weather displays. :)

LOL... I did this too. Since we don't have snow in San Diego, I changed my location to somewhere back east where it was snowing. Since I changed all my .png files to San Diego city wallpaper, it was kind of nice watching snow falling in downtown San Diego.:)
 
Yeah I tried to find but couldn't but that's not my real concern, I really wanted to know how to cache the weather so when I'm not in a wi-fi range it doesn't show an empty blank box.

You have to edit the file to reference the main PNG file that is used as the real background. Right now, its only referencing the one that is local to the program.
 
Can you help me out step by step? I have no clue what to do.

I have to figure it out first. I don't know exactly where the default one is located yet. If I have time, i'll see if i can find a solution.

You'll need to navigate to /var/stash/Themes.xxxxxx, and then go into your HTC Animated Lockbackground folder. In the configureMe.js file, make sure that it says "var showBackground = true" on second to last line.

Then, all you need to do is swap out the LockBackground.png file with the background you want to use, respring, and you're good to go.
 
I got the ZIP code to work right for my area. However, i travel a lot across the states and is there anyway i can write a line/code for weather to automatically sync with the time zone my Verizon Wireless is? For example, my home town is San Jose, CA (95122) and I already set it and got HTC clock with Animated Weather of San Jose. However, when i travel to for example like Chicago, the animated weather still stays the same cuz i set at 95122. Is there any way I can code it to sync with "updated" time from Verizon Wireless? I want the Animated Weather 5 days forecast to auto sync with the time zone i travel to instead of manually update the new ZIP code. Does anyone know?
 
Can anyone please help?!
