Fully customizable
Many features in Evergreen are customizable, including: background blur, temperature units, date and time formats and types of backgrounds.

Works offline
Evergreen shows the last background and last weather report to display when offline.

--Evergreen requires your location to show the weather. Evergreen exclusively uses your location to get the weather, and uses it for nothing else.--
