In the attachment you can see what i have come up with so far.
So basicly there is just one script (weather.sh) which takes care of all. You can also find it in zip archive in the attachment.
All you have to do is:
1) Install imagemagick from extras.
2) Remove the text "Swipe to unlock" with help of this thread.
3) After installing imagemagick, the folder "/home/user/imagemagick" should appear, if not create it.
4) Place the script "weather.sh" and your own background image, named "background.png" in this folder.
5) Edit in the script the 4nd line. Change

Code:

http://weather.yahoo.com/germany/rhineland-palatinate/kirchheimbolanden-12835433/?unit=c

to your yahoo forecast page. You can also choose on this page between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
6) Then run following commands in Terminal:

Code:

root
chmod 777 /home/user/imagemagick/*

7) Now you can run this script by executing:

Code:

 sh /home/user/imagemagick/weather.sh

even without root privileges.
8) If you want to make this script run automatically, install Alarmed. Make a "New event">"Command execution">Select frequency of how often do you want to update it>Enter Name> in the command field put this:

Code:

sh /home/user/imagemagick/weather.sh

REMEMBER that you need an internet connection.

You can play with colors and fonts. If you look into the script, you will find what and how to change. It's very easy.

P.S. I still need help of overlaying images on each other by using coordinates, not just North, NorthEast options in imagemagick.

1) Find somebody, who has the same lokale as you do, and politely ask him to do this for you.
2) Learn yourself how to use OpenSSH and WINSCP(I believe you need both for this procedure).
3) Try to do this through "Mass Storage Mode", which isn't hard either. Just read the instructions carefully, and you will understand everything. Considering your Posts/Thanked ratio, I assume, you DO know how to do stuff with n900!

I personally would prefer the second one, for three reasons:
a) If you really want to stay in this community, you gotta learn stuff.
b) You are going to need these skillz in some other further stuff.
c) WinSCP and OpenSSH are really usefull programms, that allow you to access your n900 remotely via WiFi.
