Skyshift

The background changes with the weather outside.

Blue sky when it’s sunny, heavy clouds when it’s grey, raindrops when it rains, lightning in a storm, snow and fog: the photo behind the time follows the weather where you are.

  • Background follows the weather
  • 14 real photos
  • High / low & chance of rain
  • 3 configurable data fields
