Question

How to get a Live Weather screensaver?

Jul 19, 2014 1:26AM PDT

HI: I am looking for a way to install a Live Weather screensaver so I don't have to login into my computer every now and then simply because I want to check the weather. Is it possible?

Just like the cellphones display the weather and other info even when they are locked.

Windows' design means that no such thing is on the lock screen. A tablet or thing that runs another OS may allow this.

the only one I can think of is yowindow, the best desktop app for live weather which have live desktop maps is singerscreations.com but a lifetime fee is expensive.

sorry for being such an idiot, so stupid, it seems to me that nothing would run on your pc, without logging in first.

The Weather Channel has one, Weather Bug, etc. You just have to google for them.

All of those are apps that run AFTER the user has logged on
