This is my background 🙂. It really only shows the weather. I didn't want to use some web view, so I used Skia. But now it only works on Windows 11 (unless someone adds support for others).

It uses the DWD open-data server to get weather data (so it only works in Germany right now).

• To get the icons (I'm using the icons from msn.com), run scripts/Get-Icons.ps1 in PowerShell (you might need PowerShell 7).

• Create a bg.png (next to the executable) which contains your desired background - cropped to the monitor resolution.

• Create a config.toml (next to the executable):

  station = 1234
  
  # Used for rain forecast
  latitude = 52.1234
  longitude = 9.1234
  
  # During development for faster startup
  cache_file = "cache.bin"
  
  # Open on the monitor at this global position
  monitor_at_pos = [0, 0]
  
  # Stations for weather reports
  # Multiple can be specified (stations at the start take priority)
  synop_stations = ["1234"]

  Stations can be found on dwd.de (use the ID).

• Run the app
