But are those themes with the weather icons specific to one weather app?
I like weatherbug elite myself.
I checked around and seems to be pretty nice. Puts an icon on your on top of your screen that gives you the current temp along with giving you the option to update automaticly every 15min or hour or 2 if you like. The home screen icon also changes for the conditions in your local area. It cost $4.99 but worth it. Much better than the free version. No adds popping up.
Thought I'd chime in with BerryWeather, too, since I didn't see it mentioned. It costs a bit more than the other options ($9.95), but I've been using it for months and love it...especially the fact that it's tied to my GPS, so when I travel, the weather automatically changes.
To answer the OPs question, No, you don't need a specific weather app to make it work. As far as I know the weather icon just needs to be in a predefined location on your home screen to end up in the "weather spot". Whichever icon is in that location will be displayed where the theme developer inteded the weather icon to be (does not HAVE to be a weather app). Hope this helps.
I believe if you want the icon to show the current weather status... you will need BBweather. I use weather bug and it has its own icon.
I could be wrong...and if I am, I'm sure someone will let me know

I've seen those icons with the current weather ON the icon, I meant to ask about that too...thank you

Thank you Slacker, that's exactly what I was trying to ask.
And thank you everyone else for the suggestions on which weather app to utilize!

My favorite one is Weather Eye. it works really well, shows the the current temp and an image indicates sunny cloudy etc on the home screen and best of all its free.
weathereye is the only one ive ever used and works great. like the poster above said, shows the weather and an icon to show what it is doing out, automatic update without even clicking it
Berry Weather has the current weather condition icon with the temp position being customizable in terms of color of the background/temp as well as the possible of the temp. It is worth the $$$.
