Weather Wallpaper for Projectivy Launcher
A wallpaper provider plugin that turns your Projectivy Launcher home screen into a weather display. Current conditions, optional forecast panels, and backgrounds that react to the weather.
Weather data from Open-Meteo. No API key, no account, no tracking.
What it shows Always: temperature, conditions, feels-like, today's high and low, and wind with direction.
Optional, each toggled independently in settings:
Hourly — next 6 hours with temperature, icon and rain chance Daily — next 5 days with highs and lows Extra stats — humidity, UV index, dew point, visibility, pressure Sun times — sunrise, sunset, daylight remaining
Radar and basemaps Radar draws precipitation over a map of coastlines, borders, state lines and lakes that is drawn from vector data bundled in the APK. No tile server, no API key, and it works offline. The data is Natural Earth 1:50m, which is public domain, simplified and delta-encoded to about 350 KB.
This replaces an earlier version that pulled tiles from OpenStreetMap, which their tile usage policy does not permit for a distributed app.
If you'd rather have a full raster basemap, you can still supply your own tile URL in settings under Custom basemap tile URL, using {z}, {x} and {y} placeholders:
https://tiles.example.com/dark/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=YOUR_KEY Several providers offer free tiers that permit app use. Whichever you pick, put their required credit in Basemap credit line so it renders on screen. Leave the URL blank to use the built-in map.
The illustrated scenes change with both conditions and time of day: star fields and a crescent moon at night, cloud banks when overcast, rain streaks, falling snow, lightning in storms. Randomness is seeded per day, so a scene holds steady across refreshes but differs tomorrow.
What's new
Fixed Animated radar and animated rain/snow stopped working on the Nvidia Shield, a device that had worked reliably through every prior version this session. This was a side effect of three consecutive attempts to fix a black-screen issue on a single low-power projector — requesting a specific H.264 profile and level, disabling B-frames, and widening the keyframe interval. None of those actually resolved the projector's problem, and the cumulative changes broke a device that was already fine. Changed Video encoding no longer requests a specific H.264 profile, level, or B-frame count. Back to letting the encoder pick its own defaults entirely — the exact configuration the Shield ran reliably on before 2.6.1. Keyframe interval is back to 1 second. Notes The low-power projector's animated radar/precipitation still won't work, and that's no longer being treated as an open problem. A device log showed its decoder rejecting a routine buffer renegotiation with the identical error for two different counts offered — the signature of a vendor firmware limitation, not something an encoder setting can work around. Continuing to tune parameters for a device that likely can't be fixed, at the cost of one that demonstrably could, wasn't the right trade. This is already documented in the README and CONTRIBUTING for anyone who hits the same hardware. If you're on the Shield or similar hardware, this should look exactly like it did before v2.6.1. If you're on the affected projector, leave Animate radar and Animate rain and snow off — everything else in the plugin is unaffected.
