The software supports both 3D and 2D live wallpapers, and much like Wallpaper Engine, it allows you to use websites, videos, and animated wallpapers that support mouse interactions as live wallpapers on your Windows 10 PC. Next up is RainWallpaper, a powerful live wallpaper software that allows you to set up a wide variety of customizable animated wallpapers on your desktop. What I personally like about the software is that it has a very intuitive and easy-to-use interface, which allows you to create an animated live wallpaper in no time, with the preview feature showing you exactly what your desktop will look like with the wallpaper applied.ĭownload DeskScapes (Free trial for 30 days, $3.99 / Rs. To make sure that the wallpapers fit your setup, DeskScapes even includes support for several resolutions and also features multi-monitor support.

DeskScapes also allows you to recolor your existing wallpapers, supporting color customizations for the entire image, or selecting colors on any image. Here's the BBC's, for example:īut you can build up your own Edge weather favourites!Ĭomments welcome if you have another favourite weather UWP app for Windows 10 Mobile that also still works well.The software offers over 40 special effects with which you can customize your live wallpapers, including a bunch of color effects, which work a lot like some of the best filters on Instagram. Why even use an application? There are a great many weather sites online that work very well, even in Windows 10 Mobile's Edge. Not really a forecasting app, but well worth a mention, this lets you peek at current weather in extreme detail from compatible weather stations all round the world: The real oddball in this round-up, but look at the photorealistic weather - love it! MeteoStation, £2 Sense Clock, freeĭeliberately styled after the old HTC Windows Mobile and then Android skinned weather, the graphics are ultra realistic and pretty, but with plenty of options to fiddle with. Again it's all bright and blue and with no dark theme, though there's also a live tile set up:ĭense but useful data, plus a good live tile (see bottom right on the Start screen here) Weather 14 days, freeĭoing exactly what the name suggests, this attempts an hour by hour forecast for the next two weeks - with plenty of detail and smooth scrolling, though only again in a light theme and with a lack of Mobile optimisation, as shown here:Īgain, part of the screen is just not used, but hey, the app works and the weather forecast seems accurate, so I'm not knocking it. Yandex is a Russian-owned Internet giant and its weather UWP app is very detailed in terms of pressure, moon phases, sunrise/sunset. Still, got to love the animated clouds rolling in! Yandex.Weather, free Nice data, shame about the sub-optimal formatting. ForecaWeather UWP, freeīright and colourful (there's no dark theme), but oddly formatted, this is clearly not fine tuned with Windows 10 Mobile in mind, but the data sources match up and there's a lot of detail on offer, including animated weather maps. The developer was presumably on drugs when they designed the start screen(!), but the multi-location forecasts work pretty well. A confusing interface from start to finish, but get used to it and you can bring up detailed weather forecasts for anywhere on the planet: Still very 'Metro', the panes are swipeable and with plenty of empty space. One of the jewels in Microsoft's application set? On Windows 10, go to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen > Change the background to 'Windows Spotlight' > Choose 'Weather' as the app to display.

But it still works superbly, and with great live tile. In no particular order: MSN Weather, freeĪlso known as, simply, Weather, and built into Windows 10 Mobile, so you already have this. However, there are still applications which work, and usually pretty well.

Looking closely at the 'System requirements', it shows that the developer has compiled the app against a higher version number of Windows. The interface shows 'Mobile device', but tap through and only desktops are offered. Just to illustrate the problem with many UWP titles, here's a typical set-up in the Store right now.
