I feel like i have tried every weather widget and cant seem to find a nice one. they either drain the battery (i like the refresh on wake setting) or the graphics are blah. i'm looking for one with a crisp HD look, transparency settings, and the ability to customize a little so i am asking if a few of you wouldnt mind posting a screenshot of your widget and give a little info on it to see if maybe there is something out there i havent tried or tried but didnt realize the potential haha. Thanks!!

The best weather widget personally is pre built into htc sense :'( i loved the weather widget from sense 4.1 but a good alternative is bz weather clear animations and doesn't chew battery up...

I use the transparent stock widget from the S4. Its nice especially if you use custom wallpapers or you just don't like tacky, bulky looking widgets on your home screen.
Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets are both crisp. HD Widgets is higher end thus uses more cpu and system resources. Personally BW suits my liking, light on system usage, lots of cusomized themes, it has a nice lockscreen widget as well.

i have used BW in the past, i did like the customized themes but for some reason stopped (i think because i was in search of a flip clock that was as smooth as some of the sense ones that actually flip nicely, i gave up lol) its been awhile so i will have to give it another run.

is there any good LIVE Weather Annimated Wallpapers?
I dunno about live wallpapers but Sense 3.0 ROMS have a pretty sweet weather lockscreen animation. Works well to satisfy the craving for pretty looking weather goodies.

Have you taken a look at "Mystic Halo Live Wallpaper" there is a free version and .99 cent version available in the market.
Here's a preview:

Edit: clearly I need to read. I skipped over the part about "weather wallpapers." I'll take another look for those.

Go weather. It's pretty cool. I think it is better than the htc weather clock.

I think the HTC animated weather is much better.. smooth .. clean .. no lag..
but that is also just a weather app that pops up at start and then goes away which is nice .. but am looking for a really good live weather wallpaper..
the go weather is a very good app same as be weather .. be weather does not have a live wallpaper.. Boo...
Go weather has one .. but it doesnt seem to work very well.. maybe that is the problem.. it requires too much system power and memory to run one properly..
I'm not having any issues with go weather. Our phones are branded with different roms so we are going to experience different issues.

Try weatherbug it has live radar walpaper.
Correct, Weather Bug Elite has a superb live wallpaper.

"weather and toggle" on the market has some cool stuff but you have to pay like 1.50 for it.

GetJar has the full version of Beautiful Widgets for free. And you can get the weather live wallpaper for free from the Android Market.
go weather for backgrounds, yes
i'm partial to fancy widgets myself.
What are your favorite clock and weather widgets that are compatible with ICS? I know of Beautiful Widgets but I'm looking for other recommendations please

Downloaded 1Weather and mClock. When I mentioned Beautiful widgets I had a feeling Fancy Widgets would still be mentioned lol. Thank you guys for the suggestions!
Any more?

Go Weather. So customizable.
i like the accu weather widget. i think that is a great widget. i know there are a lot out there.
I've seen some pretty slick weather Widgets screenshots but can't for the life of me find the damn thread. I'm looking for something that doesn't look like sense. Big and pretty is what I'm going after.
I have beautiful Widgets and a few others but nothing appeals to me or doesn't resize to use screen space. Any suggestions?
Also where in the hell is the "Show me your Setup" thread? I've looked in Apps, General, and Q/A
Update:
Found Weather Widgets suitable for now. Still open to suggestions. Links or screenshots preferred.

Try HD Weather Widget. It is HIGHLY customizable and you can make it look as close or as different from Sense as you like.
Here's the show me your screen thread.

There's also Beautiful widgets. It's a bit less complex. I get lost in HD widgets.
i am using asus weather
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713975
like the clean and simple look
i like palmary weather i bought the pro one. 4x4 is biggest you can go so it doesnt fill screen but the 15 day forecast is nice.
Asus weather? Nice and big...:laugh:
Weather Eye has awesome widgets that are resizable & customizable.
This is the weather app I've been waiting for.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citc.weather
I love be weather and the options
Yea Asus Weather is great and I used it on my N7 before but I came from a Transformer so looking for something different. Ill probably give HD Widgets a go.
Whatever I'm using now is already getting boring.
HD Widgets was what I was looking for. The 4x4 weather widget. They didn't have it in the screenshots so I passed over it. Its OK.

Anyone mind sharing your weather widgets or know a nice wv post here cause the 1 that comes with TW is a shame takes up to much ram and rewrites and lags up the launcher by just scrolling. Deactivate it and its parts and your phone is going much snappier.

+1 for Android Weather. Just dled it last night but its the best weather widget I've ever used. I like how yo can open your calendar and clock app from the widget. Thanks for the heads up in this.
I use WeatherLove (Free on Market) , customisable , gps based (can be disabled) , transparency capable ... Have a try
HD Weather Widgets. Very customizable. It's foggy at the moment (you can see a cloud in the middle, under the clock). Background is set to Transparent.
Beautiful widgets.
It doesn't consume so much RAM or processor power.

I'm new but not really new to xda. Was wondering if any of the brilliant minds are working on making the stock JVB weather widget transparent or other options like fancy widgets does. Tried using the fancy widgets app but dosent work well on my phone since jumping from OGEVO to LGOG. Thanks in advance. And great work guys.
Beautiful Widgets is my go to for weather widgets. Thousands of themes to choose from.

Another suggestion is the WeatherBug app. The widgets it comes with are nice. They can be clear too.
I usually just stick my head out of the window while driving.
Admittedly, this does not forecast the weather for me all that well, but I'm a live in the moment kind of guy.
In all seriousness though, Eye In The Sky has been my favorite weather widget to date.
