I gave it a try. When I used it the day was bright and sunny and the sun did move according to the time of day, but I just didn't like the blades of grass thing. I preferred my "water" live wallpaper.

Also after I changed back to my old wallpaper every time I pressed on the home screen the message would come up for installing BW live wallpaper so I uninstalled it.

I had it installed on the other ROM I was using. I noticed the same thing, but when I pressed on the weather on the beautiful live widget -> configure -> save & apply is when the background changed. It was pretty cool. Where I was at it was raining, so the beautiful live wallpaper was raining.

That's another thing when I pressed on it nothing happened. I thought a forecast was suppose to come up.

I've actually been using it since Friday and I love it. Just make sure you uncheck 'CPU Hog' and it uses about as much CPU power as a regular non-live wallpaper. You can also now turn off the blades of grass effect if you're not into that. Really speeds it up.

Woke up this morning to my phone flashing because of a nearby thunderstorm. Pretty neat.

I have it and like it. If I didn't have it, though, I probably wouldn't mind. When it first came out not everyone (including me) could see it in the Market.

If you do install it, there is a weather skin called "None" which drops the weather picture on Beautiful Widgets itself. That way you don't have 2 suns. :)

For the weather to change you need to purchase Beautiful Widgets from the market as the lwp description clearly states.

If you go into the lwp config does it have a line that says 'Unlocked'? If not, you either don't have BW installed or the lwp did not link to it for some reason.

It depends on where you live. I live in SoCal so I normally see just the sun. Right now it's cloudy and BW is saying cloudy. BWLP is also showing just clouds.

There is an option to take the grass off the screen you know. It's in settings.

Go in and uncheck the box that says tap the screen to update the weather. Then after you've closed and re-opened the settings, check the box. It will work properly then.

Also, to get it to show the current weather for the first time, I usually go in and manually refresh my weather in Beautiful Widgets. This syncs the wallpaper.

I love it...
its raining and storming here...
No issues..went with TAMA's reco...
CHECK CPU HOG
15 FPS
Using the grass on ADW and LP..
The lightning is off the hook. The Fog leaves a bit to be desired..its like a mini cloud hovering over the grass..no animation to that...
but the lightning is sweet and so is the clouds..
No issues with FCs on either launcher...
disabling the grass does help smooth it out...
