i like the widget but it'll be perfect if supports multi locations. So i can change on fly the location without search it.

很好的widget

I don't know if this is a special problem of your widget of if this is a general problem with all widgets:

The widget cache is constantly growing and gets never deleted. With every start of the widget/browser a new satelite image is written to cache. If you restart Opera a lot the cache is getting huge! I know of a user who had 30(!)MB in the cache directory of your widget.

Is there something you can do about it?

The source code is in the widget, but the use of the Accuweather data feed is licensed to me personally for use in the widget only, so I'm afraid I can't help to you access it, sorry!

How can I add the Touch The Sky Widget to my web pages?
All I need is the code, so where can I get the code?

now this is one great widget... awesome

Two problems [still] with 1.13:

1. On the Forecast->Summary page the last line of the fifth day is cut halfway through [horizontally]. this happened with the predecessor, too, and has not changed with the much smaller font in the new version.

2. Automatic update regularly omes up witha failure notice.

Also, I'd like to have a manual update-weather-data button back [as it was in the early versions].

Without a doubt - the best weather widget/gadget around...I'm in a village in rural France, and this is the first time I've ever been able to(consistently)get accurate/easily accessible meteo information.

Brilliant!

great widget, now I upragraded to higher version and works ok.

just I found possibility to change between actual and realfeel temp. - It would be great to see both of them, if possible

..greetings from prague..

This is brilliant widget, it even has my town with 7000 inhabitants in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And the interface is perfect.

5 stars

*edit

I forgot to say it would be nice that it shows time while in flip(or however it's called) mode

Johnny first I say congratulations for one of the finest bits of programming I've seen in a while.
I work with people all over the world contacting them constantly by chat & skype. If you allowed me to make a list of default cities where I could input the 50-60 cities I deal with all the time then this widget would be heaven.
It's so nice to check time in a city (so I know when I can call them), and also see what weather is at their location. Add a local alarm (so I can be reminded to call Al in Detroit at 9am his time) and I will happily pay you for this widget.
I don't know how complicated that would be, but with international chat rampant and growing there must be a great many people with the same problem.
Again, thanks for a first class app!

superb widget! love it! =)

2 requests tho please...

1. i know it's been requested many times, but just to encourage u that it would be really useful... the option to see actual temp and realfeel at the same time!

2. a 24 hour forecast like the one found here... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/24hr.shtml?world=4581

those two additions would make it the most perfect widget in the world!

thanks a billion!
alex =)
