Looking for a good weather app

That'll also match the rest on my black background with white text (or other colored) notification area...

I've tried AccuWeather, TWC and WeatherBug

I liked AccuWeather and WeatherBug's attention to detail on reports and extended forecast, but they don't have a option to customize the notification area, which is a drawback to me for both of them...

So are there any other advanced weather app's like that which are also advanced in customization?
 
Okay I narrowed it down to Amber Weather (Simple yet advanced) and eWeather HD (Very technically advanced in both themeing and weather)

I went with Amber Weather

I actually chose Go Weather Ex Premium with the help of downloading Hearthstone to get it for free, I like it the font is a lil bit bigger and more detailed in depth view of reports, I do a lot of sign spinning (Standing outside next to a busy road twirling a company sign to attract customers) so that rain detail is important to me.

Cool. A good honorable mention is weather Timeline. You can customize the notification and also get a pretty good weather app with reliable weather sources.
After some bouncing around back and forth between Go Weather, Amber Weather and Weather Timeline I actually chose Weather Timeline cause it gives me a percentage chance of rain on hourly details.

I tried those yesterday or wednesday and noticed they both didn't have customizable notification areas I think if I recall correctly.

One Weather has widgets and you can adjust the transparency and colors on it. Kinda tricky how to do it though. I had to email the developer once for instructions because I couldn't remember how I did the 1st time.

Weather underground has different widgets too, but maybe not the kind you are looking for.

That's just the thing i don't need yet another weather widget in order to get the right weather notification area colored task...

1st XWidgets Weather Clock EMUI Style with Beautiful Widgets Weather Anumation scrolling over it/the screen.

I'd have no problem using Google Now Weather if i could turn it black with white font.

What I use (Weather and Clock Widget) has that and more. I like the ability to make the widget background completely transparent.
You didn't ask for transparent, you said (above) that you'd use Google weather if you could have a dark background with white lettering, so I hooked you up with a screenshot showing that you could. :cool:

For the notification task area. LoL

Didn't have very many cool clock widgets for it having clock in the name you'd think it'd have a boatload of them. haha

Everythings good the way it is now. With XWidget EMUI Style Clock, Weather Timeline (Notification Area only) and Beautiful Widgets
