Thanks for the confirmation, Vesuri.
Anyway the app is one of the best solution on N9, for everyone who want playing landscape on their N9.
Keep up the good work

At that time Harmattan PR1.2 was not publicly available so it made no sense to advertise the features (yet).

From the application. They are only visible for users of Harmattan PR1.2 or later.

The application is compatible with PR1.1. It just has more features on PR1.2 or later.

The options are part of Home Screen Settings, not Harmattan PR1.2, but their visibility depends on the Harmattan version installed.

Choosing a background image other than the current wallpaper was introduced in version 1.2.5. Non-transparent weather widget background is a Harmattan problem/feature and may (only) be fixed in a future Harmattan update. The backgrounds of the icons come from the Harmattan icon graphics assets and should not be modified by a third party application.

on another thread it was mentioned that Vesuri had sent it to MFT for testing only hence MFT posted the screens on MNB.com. it'll soon be released on Nokia Store pending some testing and QA approval.

I just upgraded to 1.5.3. The horizon animation is beautiful! And there is a nice touch that the speed and direction of the animation changes when you scroll the screen.

But there lies the problem too. The speed increases as you scroll and soon you'll be going warp speed! There should be some speed limit in the animation. But still, a very nice app.

This has been fixed already. If you look at the MeeCast thread, the dev there has patched a system package (inception is needed to install) that fixes the black square on weather. I have used it with the latest version Vesuri sent me and no bugs what so ever.

Do I need to reboot to activate horizon or images? Because those two doesn't activate immediately like others background features. I'm using 1.5.2

Yes, after a reboot, you will get the horizon, as well as the "glitter effect" on the sine waves

Agreed, it's kind of a gimmick

A speed limit will appear in a future update.

I suggest you refrain from using Inception for things like this unless you understand the risks. PR1.3 will fix this for AccuWeather as well.

You need to restart the home screen one way or another. Otherwise the home screen will keep using the old version. You can, for instance, toggle "Only white text" on/off and select "Yes" from the "restart home screen" dialog. Restarting the device also restarts the home screen.

Thanks!
(btw, thank you for the reply on my email regarding this problem)

Maybe a bit more variation for the mountains will be cool (kinda repetitive at the moment)
