I am new with BB. I want the present temp (or weather) at my place on the home screen of my bold. how can i do that. i would preferably like to do that with the built in theme, if possible.. please advice. (i have viigo for weather, but it needs to open the app to see the temp)
I use WeatherBug, and if you just scroll over to the icon (which is on my homescreen) the temp comes up, plus the day's high and low. You don't have to open the app. But the temp's not always on the screen.

Might be a better program than this one for you.
thanks KB for the quick reply. but i would like the temp to be there all the time, like we see the clock & date.. wish there was a way..
Hi,
I use WeatherEye, the weather network app, which, if you have a theme that allows showing on the home screen, constantly displays the current temperature, and conditions.
Its in the Free Apps thread of the bb apps forum..
Works like a charm, and also gives you access to short/long term forecasts by clicking on the app...
cheers

thanks jrv.. but what theme i will need.. will the BB built-in one work?
could you please explain how to set.. and will the Bold's builtin theme work?
Yeah, pretty much any theme will work, it's built into almost all weather apps. During setup you'll see something along the lines of Update from Home Screen. All the apps mentioned so far are good apps. Just pick one and try it. They are free,
but will the Bold's built-in theme support it?
i dont want to download a theme just to support this feature.. they are resource hog as u said..
Ive created a theme for the bold (and 8900) its based on the stock precision theme with a couple extra features added, its not going to drain your battery or hog resources, it has a spot added in the top right for a weather icon, you can try it out, its free anyways.

That theme looks perfect, would it be wrong of me to request a 2nd theme like that..but also includes calendar and/or messages on the home screen (not the icon, actual calendar entries)

Its actually a hidden today, so when you scroll over the calendar for example it will show the entries.

hey Shao,
Superb theme! I'd like to request a version with slightly smaller hidden today fonts. If you don't take requests, no worries. Thank you for a great theme.
