If this hasnt already been done, I think it would be a good idea. A weather app with live wallpapers. It's kinda a rip off of sense/beautiful widgets. The idea would be a weather app that based on the weather in your area a live wall paper would display. So if its sunny you have a live wallpaper that is clear with the sun out. Rainy the wallper is raining so on and so forth. If an app exist already please let me know which one and ill delete this post, if not discuss.
If im correct beautiful live wallpaper does what your asking, its in the market.
It looks like it does but it requires beautiful widgets
I love beautiful Widgets with my live weather wallpaper. Highly recommended app.

There are several in the market other than the Beautiful Widgets one. I personally own:
Radar Live Wallpaper - animated radar loop from NOAA by city
Weather Live Wallpaper by Travis Pearson - similar to Beautiful Widgets but imo not as nice of animations
Also, searching for Weather live wallpaper in the market returned 4 or 5 including the one thats packaged in with WeatherBug Elite.
try Animated Weather Pro.
Not a live wallpaper but it's beautiful as it gets.
I guess the developer could step up and make a live wallpaper out of it.

i hate to be picky. but it seems that all of the live wallpapers out there have one color or even more even have all or mostly black backgrounds that are just too dark to fully appreciate my widgets and icons (beautiful widgets and weather widgets have translucent frames). so what ends up happening is i keep going back to the "nexus" live wallpaper. i love all of wallpapers being developed but i would love to see some more texture and color.
I had that same problem. The only widget I use is the Beautiful Home Widget. What I ended up doing was the Starfield live wallpaper with the "naked" Beautiful Widget skin which actually looks really good.
i use beautiful widgets with naked skin with earth live wallpaper and chose one background of the three it gives. Its excellent.

Yea, i do love the rotating earth live wallpaper but its the exception to the rule.
There is one app called Live Waterpaper....u can make ANY picture from gallery as a Live Wallpaper(somewhat, with ripples).U should try that.
I'm using that one. It's nice and subtle, my favorite so far.

Thanks for sharing!
Wow nice. Will get.
[unrealistic]If it is possible to have the actual live location as the background it would be even more cool.[/unrealistic]
It is great but I wish it has huge widget so I can put it on whole page in my launcher. Now it is only icon until I press it to launch.
I would buy it, but I doubt something like this will run very well on my G1. Looking forward to trying it though!
Been using this for a while actually! Pretty good! Looks nice, feels nice, does it's job
I get black lines flicker on the display when this is open. Apart from that I really like it.
Looks alot like Touch Weather by MobilityFlow WM
Love it! Thank you very much for share! I wish to set it up like live wallpaper in the future! Thank you

Thanks so much for share this fantastic application.. really good work.
This is great, I'd buy the pro version right now if it included a live wallpaper.
Saying that, I wouldn't mind more backgrounds, or maybe the ability to choose your own would be cool.
I ended up watched the effects through two full rotations, just couldn't put it down.
Love the lightning but I find the rain a little boring, sry.
Just curious but where are you getting your weather info from?
Cool thing!
Although a 4x2 Widget, maybe animated, would be the greatest
great looking app, would love to purchase once it's in a more finished form. live wallpapers, more/customizable backgrounds, a better widget.
looks great so far tho,keep up the good work !

Really nice app, hope for a nice widget soon.
not so good on the nexus one... everytime i click to open something or change something i get force closes, such as changing the location from village to lake or something it force closes...
WOW!!! awesome work on this app. HTC should take a page out of your book.
I wish real weather sounds could be added.

Ya, it doesn't work at all for me on the N1. I get a force close every time I open it!
Great looking app though.
Kinda pixelated on my Evo
Have tried many weather widget apps before. Many are good, with HTC Sense-like UIs, but I have to say my favorite one thus far is the animated weather widget. I currently have the free version installed and am extremely happy with the stability, usability, and overall effects. I originally tried out out because my old one kept crashing and testing its configuration. I would have been happy with something stable (which this has ben so far), but I have to say that I was blown away by the effects and amount of detail within the forecast app. Pretty happy so far, will have to see what pro has to offer.

very nice weather app
I found it to be great, although if there happen to be a lot of alerts, it seems to drain battery faster than normal.
this is pretty sweet.
Coolest of the COOL!
We all have these Smartphones with great graphics, super fast processors, and a whole bunch of other cool **** - but having Android and a cool phone is just the beginning.
Who ever hasn't tried AND LOVED Animated Weather is really missing out the coolest of the cool weather apps with incredible scenes for each weather scenario! My wife gave up her i(DUMB)Phone so she could take over my EVO with A/W on it.
Pardon the pun, butt, she saw how cool it is when a storm BLOWS in and either rains like hell or howls up a blizzard. She lives and dies for any change in the weather so she can see it in the forecast inside.
Hey THANKS A/W, the more cool stuff you bring to the app the more I get [email protected]#$%^_)(*&^%...I get, you know what I mean!
great
this is really a good widget to have
Wouldn't it be nice if HTC had a weather widget that was 4x2 or 4x3? I hate that they have 3 sizes, one thats huge and dislays all of the information, and a 2x2 and 2x1 that both only display current temp, high/low, and a picture, I mean the 2x2 should AT LEAST display a little bit more information than the 2x1 right?! Anyway anybody know of a modded HTC weather widget like this? hehe
just download Beautiful Weather and Palmary or Snowstorm... There are quite a few great weather apps out there.
I love Snowstorm, but the GPS is sketchy and not always that accurate, and doesn't beautiful widgets have a clock on all of theirs too?
Beautiful widgets has several different styles of widgets. The one I use is 4x1 and displays a 5 day forecast with high/low temps.
Its pretty nice. Lots of different skins.
Heres a screen shot

Oh, nice. What weather source does beautiful widgets use? Does it seem to be reliable and accurate?
You can use google or some other one, which I cant remember. Seems to be pretty accurate. Sometimes, it shows me in the next city, but the borders are pretty close.
You can choose between Google and Accuweather.
It's always seemed pretty accurate for me and it's easy to skin yourself or grab quite a few skins from within the app.
Well worth the couple bucks.

Yea this is okay I have tried it but with some of the new ROM (3.0) not really needed.
mehh looks ok but i'll admit that devs need support by making paid apps but price is a little steep. any who also agree this would probably just kill my sense 3.0 rom and be also sorta redundant
good find tho
