don't yell at me if i'm wrong... but i think you edit the wallpaper.html file and within the style and body tags at the top (under where it says background-color: none; margin: 0; etc etc) add

background-image: url("/private/var/mobile/Library/SpringBoard/HomeBackground.jpg");
background-size: 61%;

can somebody try this and post back if it works?

It does. This fix was originally posted in the LockMS thread. The 61% size thing works for the lock screen, but not for this one. And I think it's because the "wallpaper" and the "widget" have their own separate layered html files, which is just stupid. Changing the widget.html's size, for instance, makes the whole thing disappear because it gets moved off screen.

I don't know how to make the image fit the screen properly though...

Thanks for the suggestion, but sorry to say it does not work correctly. I set my real wallpaper to be one of the included apple wallpapers that iOS4 came with. When I added your code, I do see the default wallpaper load, but I can also see WeatherFurik's theme wallpaper right underneath it in a strip to the left. The apple wallpaper on top of it is also low res.

I'm now convinced that, as Krafty said, each weather widget needs to have an included wallpaper to work. These widgets are probably instructing iOS to use their wallpaper, which they've coded to have javascript weather in it.

I'm fine with loading wallpapers into this theme folder from now on. But there has to be a way to load retina wallpapers. Each time I change some of the coded height and width pixel sizes in these js and html files, it breaks the widget. When I respring, I either won't see the weather and icons, or I won't see the date and time, or I won't see anything at all!

interestingly enough if you set it to LockBackground instead of HomeBackground, it shows up in the correct size. there must be some difference between the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper...

anyone else care to verify it? or it may just be my files?

that's odd... when i use apples stock wallpapers it seems to work for me. i don't see the other wallpaper at all and i'm pretty sure its HD... can't tell the difference when i compare to original. it didn't work right with my own wall paper when i first tried...

this is what it looks like with one of the stock wallpapers...

ps. how do you post images so they show up as thumbnails and not so huge?

Least we're making progress, also to make it thumbnail size stick between these tags:
[*timg][*/timg]
Minus the *

The way I attach my images is through the "Manage Attachments" button below the reply box. It automatically makes it a thumbnail for me.

As for getting the HD wallpaper to work, not sure what I'm doing wrong. The real issue though, is that even if you are able to overlay your system's HD wallpaper, it will still load the widget's wallpaper underneath it. Would this method (essentially loading 2 wallpapers on top of each other each time) use up more system resources?
 
Aren't the stock wallpapers located in ~/Library/Wallpapers/iPhone/ ?

I took a quick look and I see 320x480px & 640x960px images but they're all blank on my Mac.

Got it.

Lets use the first stock wallpaper for example, there are 4 files for it:
Code: 
[I]100.png
100.thumbnail.png
100.thumbnail@2x.png
[B]100@2x.png[/B][/I]

Replace that file (100@2x.png) with the image you want (640x960). If you're not on the 4G, then it would most likely be 100.png (320x480).

Respring.

Go to your Settings, and tap the first stock wallpaper, the preview should then show your custom image.

Krafty your method worked for me!

I found the Wallpaper i wanted(seems it must be a stock retina wallpaper) from,VAr/stash/wallpaper/iphone

I copied the 101@2x.png to desktop....I then pasted it into weatherfurik.theme folder.....I renamed it to Wallpaper.png and then deleted the original Wallpaper.png(saved it first just incase to desktop)

then when i rebooted the springboard voila!....screeenshot here.
