what a fantastic little thing!!!! looks good too. Only I wish it'd show the time as well in mini-mode. That would make it PERFECT.

Thank you

This widget is great
I think it should show both actual and RealFeel at the same time, so it's not needed to go to the configurations to change

Hi Kirschner,

When you add your city, after it shows up in the box, select it (single click), and then "close" the tray with the little up arrow at the bottom. When the try closes, the widget will reload with your city.

This is not working for me. I type in my location and it come up into the box so I suppose that the city is recognized. Then I close the widget and reopen it and my city is not there only the default city. Any suggestions?
I was also wondering if someone could tell what it means that Opera does not support add-ons like FireFox does. I asked a software company if they had a version of there product for Opera and that's what they said or something like that.
Thanks

All the hour thing looks that it doesn't work

By lucasdt , # Aug 13, 2007 4:41:46 PM

The only error I found is that the clock is 20 minutes behind.
Besides that, works like a charm!
Thanx!

By lucasdt , # Aug 13, 2007 4:22:51 PM

Cool, nice and sharp.
Just another upgrade please:
"THE POSSIBILITY TO ADD MORE CITIES AND A SCROLLING FUNCTION WITH A TIMER"
so IMHO it will be the definitive ONE !!!

Hi, Looooove this widget... been using it in Windoze for a long time.

Loaded up Ubuntu on a spare machine, downloaded Opera, and my favorite widget as my first order of Ubuntu-business.

However, when I open the widget on this machine, I get a large gray box on the screen just underneat the widget itself, as if there is a transparency issue. Has anyone else seen this?

By dougweiser , # Aug 8, 2007 6:30:16 PM

Great widget! Thank you!

By theElijah , # Aug 3, 2007 6:13:52 PM

If you want multiple locations just download the widget again without erasing the existing, you will have the same widgets and two or more (if you download more times) locations, great widget, thanks :-)

By drotex , # Aug 3, 2007 5:27:11 PM

I just found a small "bug": the widget has no understanding of "Umlauts". If I search for Fürth, it doesn't find it. If I take the HTML code (from accuweather", "F%FCrth", it finds it as "F?rth, Bayern, Germany", but then it can't find the city from accuweather...
Will there be a solution sometime or is it too difficult?
Thanks.
