for those of you who asked me to upload... the only thing i changed was the two lines of code i wrote in a couple pages back in this thread... someone says it still isn't sizing them right, but it worked for me. i'm a noob at sharing files... and i think the last person who uploaded there's probably did the same thing i did.
 
I got it working with the one cougar11 posted, but there still is no way to customize the position of the widget and the background goes black when you open a folder.

I'll just leave it turned off until someone happens to figure it out. If not, I can live without it.
 
Does anyone know how to lower the time, day and month? I'm trying to lower it and mybe center it, but no luck so far, if anyone has any idea on how to do it please let me know. thanks

But this still requires manually placing wallpapers into a folder. I take it no one has figured out how to be able to change them on the fly and have them sized right? Or it's not possible?

EDIT: Okay I'm having trouble getting this to work. So I edited my "Wallpaper.html" file to call the wallpaper in the stock Apple wallpaper folder. I took my own image and named it 104@2x.png, replaced the one that was already in the folder. My wallpaper.html looks like this

<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url("/Library/Wallpaper/iPhone/104@2x.png");
background-size: 61%
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0 0 0;
height: 480px;
width: 320px;
}
</style>

And it still shows up oversized and hanging off the edges of the screen. I still don't know if we've determined any of the following:

1. Does changing the height and width values to retina dimensions change anything? I can't see that it does.
2. Does the "WeatherWidget.html" file in WeatherFurik.theme/Private/WeatherWidget/ have any bearing on how the wallpaper behaves? The only thing I've concluded about this file is that changing the height and width dimensions makes the weather widget disappear off screen completely, so I just left it alone. I really can't see what other purpose it serves because if anything, just adds a secondary wallpaper layer that is totally useless. Can anyone help me out?
 
Okay this makes absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever. I used the .theme that another user uploaded and it...just...worked. I didn't have to do the stock wallpaper trick or anything. Everything properly sized, no stretching, no overlapping, nothing. Although I'm very happy, I'm also extremely frustrated. I'd almost rather have this not work than to have it work but not understand why. I'm sure someone else relates to that feeling.

Well either way I guess it's time to start moving the elements around to fit right. Thanks again, cougar11.
 
:D Almost done guys

Some things need to be redone and some things are unfinished, but I think getting the weather/time widget working was the biggest hurdle, and I have the contributors in this thread to thank. Good work!

Of course, as soon as this is finished and I'm satisfied with it, I'll post everything you need to get your phone looking like this, for anyone who wants it.
 
Looking good! Looking forward to getting the info from you on how to get that weather widget looking like that, really digging it.

I figured if we could get the wallpaper roll going, then maybe someone could take it a step further to link it to the systembackground or something. As you can tell I'm not an expert at programming.

Krafty, you can disregard that last post. I haven't resolved that particular issue /per se/ but the .theme that cougar11 uploaded for whatever reason worked for me, without any need for the stock method. I don't know why, but it did. Hopefully it will for others as well. My camera roll now functions as it should, with the images being sized right and everything. All it needs is a respring every time the wallpaper is changed, but that's standard for any .html style themes.

Also, I've learned more about the weather widget as I've been working with it. I realize now that it's more redundant and complicated than I thought, but I at least figured out which files/elements are important, and which change which.

The other issue I ran into was opening folders still causes the background to turn black.

Looks great
Can't wait to hear how you done it
 
I'm having an issue with the WeatherFurik theme... I enter my locale code "USOH0460" and it claims that the weather is 82 degrees and that it's dark. It's 70 and light. Also, when I add the code into LockMS.Weather, it says it's Not Found. Is Kent, Ohio really that bad of a place?!
