    I'll update the script tonight


    it's a great idea! So I await the update before doing so .. thank you!

    In the attachment you can see what i have come up with so far.
    So basicly there is just one script (weather.sh) which takes care of all. You can also find it in zip archive in the attachment.
    All you have to do is:
    1) Install imagemagick from extras.
    2) Remove the text "Swipe to unlock" with help of this thread.
    3) After installing imagemagick, the folder "/home/user/imagemagick" should appear, if not create it.
    4) Place the script "weather.sh" and your own background image, named "background.png" in this folder.
    5) Edit in the script the 4nd line. Change
    Code:
    http://weather.yahoo.com/germany/rhineland-palatinate/kirchheimbolanden-12835433/?unit=c
    to your yahoo forecast page. You can also choose on this page between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
    6) Then run following commands in Terminal:
    Code:
    root
    chmod 777 /home/user/imagemagick/*
    7) Now you can run this script by executing:
    Code:
     sh /home/user/imagemagick/weather.sh
    even without root privileges.
    8) If you want to make this script run automatically, install Alarmed. Make a "New event">"Command execution">Select frequency of how often do you want to update it>Enter Name> in the command field put this:
    Code:
    sh /home/user/imagemagick/weather.sh
    REMEMBER that you need an internet connection.

    You can play with colors and fonts. If you look into the script, you will find what and how to change. It's very easy.

    P.S. I still need help of overlaying images on each other by using coordinates, not just North, NorthEast options in imagemagick.
    hi , im having a problem with the command chmod 777 /home/usr/imagemagick/*

    its saying file or location not found

    There are three ways to do so.
    1) Find somebody, who has the same lokale as you do, and politely ask him to do this for you.
    2) Learn yourself how to use OpenSSH and WINSCP(I believe you need both for this procedure).
    3) Try to do this through "Mass Storage Mode", which isn't hard either. Just read the instructions carefully, and you will understand everything. Considering your Posts/Thanked ratio, I assume, you DO know how to do stuff with n900!

    I personally would prefer the second one, for three reasons:
    a) If you really want to stay in this community, you gotta learn stuff.
    b) You are going to need these skillz in some other further stuff.
    c) WinSCP and OpenSSH are really usefull programms, that allow you to access your n900 remotely via WiFi.

    thanks for the quick reply,i managed to sort out the first bit with the editing, just needed to remember some commands, but i pulled through,now im stuck at the command root chmod 777 /home/user/imagemagick/* its says no such file or directory

    And on my lock screen now says "secu_swipe_to_unlock"

    really? well, that is weird. The star * suppose to tell chmod to give the root privileges to all files. Do you have a imagemagick folder and stuff inside it?

    I will rewrite it shortly but I have a script that uses already downloaded omweather data and icon set to put weather on your lock screen. Means you dont have to double download if using omweather

    @Bratag, thanks man.
    I have just updated the first post and the script of course. Now it changes the files of your current theme and makesNO backups

    P.S. I also tryied to do smth fancy with the slider, but that didn't go too well. I still have a few ideas. But feel free to throw some in here.
    P.P.S. Please post bugs, if you have some

    do you have the folder /home/user/imagemagick? If not, create it.
