- LiveTheDream 17y ago+1 for changing the icon based on the primary location. I want this feature much more than location-awareness. (Jailbroken iPhone has icon-changing weather app)
- c1sc0 17y agoIs it (technically & politically) possible to make the App Icon change based on App State? I thought that was restricted / impossible a while back.
- sgman 17y agoNot if you're the developer of the built-in weather app.
- DougBTX 17y agoSince the app bundle is signed, and the icon is inside the app bundle... no, but Apple can cheat for their own apps: Calendar's icon always shows today's date. Clock and Weather could update continuously too. For third party apps, I'd like my stopwatch to keep updating it's icon in the background, and one of my apps could do with it too. A more serious problem is not being able to update Default.png, so if your app loads the last view the user had, it's hard to make it seamless.
- LiveTheDream 17y agoedit: I meant changing the icon based on the current weather at primary location, which should be the current location by default
- ja27 17y agoMove somewhere where it's never 73 and sunny. That way you'll never be confused.
- logic 17y agoThe "Weather Icon" app from Cydia accomplishes this. There's a similar WinterBoard extension for the clock ("LiveClock"). Both work wonderfully. (Edit: it changes based on the weather and the time, not based on geolocation.)
