Just got YoWindow - 3 suggestions

Great program. Was looking for something like HD Weather for iDevices, and this was close. Put together a quick landscape to try and match HDW.

But it looks so static compared to the built in landscapes. Sadly, I don't like the built in landscapes because of how unrealistic they look. I started wishing that YoWindow had the following features...

1 - The ability to upload 3 "landscapes" - foreground, subject, and background. This would allow developers to apply a generic depth of field effect to the 3 layers, greatly enhancing how the built in weather animations can interact with the user landscapes.

2 - A small toolkit of foreground widgets that would have stock animation behaviors, and users would have the ability to incorporate these tools into their own landscapes.

3 - The ability to use as a landscape image a file that allows for moving images (like a video file or gif).

Once again, great app! Just wanted to put in my 2 cents.

Hey, Creeves, welcome to YoWindow world :)
I've seen weather HD and I know what you are speaking about.

At the moment we are doing a lot of work in the background to let the community create animated landscapes of any kind.
This is #1 priority and it will be available in several months.

We don't have time to implement the features you have proposed, but I want to let you know I like all of them.
And we will take care about them as soon as their time comes.
