The reason why ALL themes fail in the task of having an "updatable" homescreen for weather app icons and other icon (sms/mms, messages ...etc) is because of the homescreen itself... The homescreen is just an static shell(hence why you have to press menu or move the trackball to update), the real "auto-updatable" screen is the "application screen" in order to have the icons update automatically (like the dimension icon theme) is to create a theme WITHOUT a homescreen... just a straight forward application screen as your front.


Get an old curve/pearl and put the dimension icon theme put the backlight to 2 minutes and then put the weather app to update to the most frequent setting and you will seee that icon automatically change (like the network reception bars)

Yeah, but icon themes for 320 x 240 devices use that janky 53 x 48 icon size tha goofs up 3rd party icons.

I tried building a straight icon theme the last 2 days, but couldn't live with the distortion from the icon resizing. It was nice to build themes smaller than 200 kb, though.

Tried futzing with some other files today to see if I could get an icon theme that uses 48x36. No joy.

I did notice that several of my 3rd party apps actually look better in the larger icon size.

Once I got the customized icons sorted out (TB kept crashing when exporting my homescreen), my icon theme ended up being ~325 kb.

At least the focus icon doesn't jump around on this one.
