Ok for some time now I’ve been working to make weather available on the background of your computer. NO MATTER what version of Microsoft’s OS you were using. Unfortunately, the method to do it with Windows 7 was a very nasty and troublesome method. I did post how I was able to do it in a previous link.
Since then I’ve continued working on scripting and searching for programs that could be used to support this. Well I’ve boiled it down to a few Batch files and a couple executable files that I’ll be posting, very shortly. This is by NO MEANS the final version of attempt at this project. My hope and desire will be to compile all of this into ONE executable that could be started via an Icon or as a Startup item.
Details on how to obtain and install this can be found in the Library. Or CLICK HERE.
Update 4.06.2012 Confirmed This method works on XP, Vista and Windows 7. I hope to be starting on WeatherBackground 2.0 very soon.
