- Load one city's page on Weather.com: Click on city name.
Changelog
Ver 2.2: Works again after Weather.com changed XML request format.
New Features in ver 2.1:
- 3 days Forecasts! Click on the area to the right of the weather icon (the area with temp, wind, etc) to switch from Temps view to Forecasts and viceversa.
- readded old 1.0 skin for nostalgics
- improved location search field
One request:
- Please add a "precipitation percentage" (or an option to show one) under the current day and also under each of the three days in the forecast.
This is the only option I really need to see that isn't there. For example, when a rain or thunderstorm icon is shown, it makes a big difference if the forecast is only a 20% chance or a 90% chance. This one piece of information will save me from going to the weather.com website a whole lot!
Thanks!

your skin looks good, really good. I've tried to obtain the same effect so many times but my photoshop skills are almost inexistant!
I'm not sure i'll start working on this widget again very soon, but if i will, i'll try to create a similar skin (in many colours of course!).
@ david: the horizontally arrangement can be a good idea. I'll keep it present in the next update. Thanks
Bye all

i modified a skin a bit to make it look more glassy:

i hope you don't mind! i did it just for personal use of course,
it's pretty much a yahoo! weather widget rip off, but hopefully it will inspire you for a future version of this widget
cheers!

Hi guys,
thanks for reporting the problems; i've not been able to work on the widget lately, but i suspect (actually i'm quite sure) that the main cause is the XML feed i get from The Weather Channel is not always correct, especially for certain locations. I've never experienced these problems since i'm fetching different locations.
As for the local time (actually, it is the time of the last update), it is retrieved from the XML too, so there's not much i can do to check/correct it. Maybe i should give the user the possibility to set it by hand but then it wouldn't reflect the time of the last update.
I will probably restart the development of the widget in the next days (i've still to solve the linux incompatibility), i'll see what i can do.
Anyway, thanks for your comments. I hope you find this widget useful as i do
Bye

Excellent widget!
Thanks!
But I could not add Bonneyville, Alberta, Canada
And the first location I added Red Deer, Alberta kept resseting to zero

K=Kelvin
k=Kilo
B=Byte
b=bit
M=Mega
m=milli
So that's the difference.

As for km/h vs Km/h, why are you so sure it is a error? I've always used Km, Kg, Kb and so on in my life, is there an official rule?
Air pressure? I would have liked to add it (and also sunset/sunrise hours, wind gust, etc) since v1.0 but i really can't find a place where to show it! Maybe in a new tab? I'll see.
Bye and thanks for your comments!!!

1 typo error Km/h must be km/h
Could you add a button in the locations page to switch from km/h to m/s?
Is it possible to add the air pressure to this widget? In hpa?
My compliments so far, look absolutly great!
