How accurate are you finding the weather with beautiful widgets? I have that on mine (no screen capture installed yet for pics) along with Beautiful Weather Live wallpaper. But it seems the temperature updates seldom, and so then as well, the wallpaper.

It is really cool, but I want it to be somwhat close to actual conditions. :rolleyes:

It's pretty accurate, it only updates on intervals though. you can set how often you want it to update. It goes from 15mins, 30mins, 1 hour, 2 hours and so on. But of course the more frequent updates, there goes your battery.

The last time I posted, my home screen looked too much like everyone else with the dominant Sense Clone Clock and Weather widget, and I bought this phone to make it my own, so I needed a change. I also wanted to maximize my battery life by minimizing background GPS activity and having a darker wallpaper. All three of my desires are now fulfilled thus:

My Live wallpaper is now actually playable with neither thumb typically dominant.

Is that ADW launcher? How do you get the translucent bar under your dock icons? What icon set is that?

Also how do you minimize background GPS activity?

That's launcher pro. To get it looking like I have, go to:

Preferences -> Appearance Settings -> Dock Background -> Glass

The icons are default LauncherPro Icons for Phone, gMail, Applications Drawer, Messaging, and Browser.

The background GPS activity I was speaking of was by the Fancy Widget clock and weather application to get location data. Once I removed the widget, there was no need to get location data for the weather icon.
