Lockscreen Query

[vaderag]

I've been messing with some lockscreen apps and havent quite found what I am looking for so I'm hoping someone can help

I'm looking for the following:
1) I want to keep the Bing wallpaper updated daily
2) I'm looking for a decent compact weather overlay - the one on Lock Manager is pretty decent, but I'd rather it either had a bit more info, or all sat to the left.
3) I'd like to have 2 calendar items there, but in exactly the same format as the default calendar shows. It seems to me that there are two lines there for us, so if the time was put on the same line there is room for two.

Does anyone know any app(s) that will fill these requirements?

Thanks! :smile:

Awesome Lock seems to be a quite good match. Take a look here: Awesome Lock | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
Cheers!

Thanks- looks promising - will give it a try. Although it looks like the calendar needs to be at the top.

There is a setting which says "Choose an app to show detailed status" - I have quite a few in there, but currently set to calendar. What I'm hoping is that there is a 3rd party calendar app which will allow me to have 2 rows of calendar there instead of the one.

Once that's set, then ultimately all I really need is a weather app with Bing background support...

Yep - that does the weather bit nicely (i think you can change to bing wallpaper too??), but not the calendar bit

Okay, so I've found an app that does it, but not very well. True Calendar 8. Doesnt give you any options tho and it's relative (i.e. in one day) rather than exact.

Have a look at Lockie
Lockie | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United Kingdom)

Has a lot of customisation options.

Yeah, tried that earlier. It's nice but doesnt link in with the OS like i want it to...

Lockmix - Lockmix | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

You can rearrange and resize the modules as you wish.

I am currently using Lockmix - i like it's weather interface, but background for Bing seems to be US and not localised

Additionally, it still doesnt make use of the calendar bar that's already in place...
