Get Real-Time Effects That Describe the Weather Outside on Your Android's Wallpaper

Living in Southern California means I don't really have a need to check the weather all that often. But every now and then, I'm caught off guard by a particularly chilly or hot day—no one wants to be the only person walking around with a T-shirt and sandals on a rainy, 50-degree day.

While Google Now does a pretty good job of informing me what the weather is, I still wanted something that could convey the same information without me having to check anything.

Weatherback Wallpaper, from developer aceou, fetches your local weather data and adds a weather overlay to your wallpaper. This means you can continue to use your favorite wallpaper and have a visual weather forecast right on your home screen, allowing you to painlessly gauge what the weather's like outside.

Step 3: Apply Live Effects

Once you are happy with your settings, go back to the main menu and tap "Set Wallpaper." This will bring up your current wallpaper with a live preview of the current weather settings. To save the wallpaper, tap "Set wallpaper," but if you want to use a different background, go back to your home screen to change your wallpaper as you normally would, then repeat the process.
