Awesome Widget.

By Megatron X, # Jun 26, 2008 2:58:51 PM

I really like this widget...

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!

Wow xblades,
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

Hi there,
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!

One sugggestion i have is that you give the user the option of arranging the cities displays horizontally instead of just vertically, I have this arrangement on my computer only because I launched three copies at once.

Sorry risidoro, the problem I had with your widget was from where I had minimum font size too large. Your widget works just fine. Sorry for any misunderstanding. You have a great widget!

@ webcam-reviews, xblades, GayMorrison, david1970:
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

Nice widget. Irisidoro, I notice that sometimes the wind speed is missing. It would have the wind direction and no speed. You might also like to make the vwidget a little taller so that the numbers don't get too crowded.

Nice job!

Times aren't quite correct ref zones. eg NZ time is OK, but Mumbai India by comparison is not. Its one hour out. Can this be configured?

By GaryMorrison, # May 12, 2008 5:20:37 AM

I've been using it for some time now and the only quirk, as the user below, is the sun at night times. It would be nice if there was the moon instead (like touchthesky widget)

By xblades, # Apr 12, 2008 9:58:34 PM

Hi again risidoro, everything works fine with the latest version of MultiWeather, except for one thing. I don't get it why sometimes in the night there is a moon, and sometimes it shows at 2AM the sun. I don't think that then the sun is shyining

Hi, cgtsouth. Bonneyville is not present in weather.com archive of locations so you can't use it. As for Red Deer, i've been monitoring it since i read your message and i've never seen it resetting in any way. Maybe there was a problem with the data feed on the server and now it's solved.

I'm happy you like the widget

Bye

By risidoro, # Mar 11, 2008 5:18:28 PM

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

By cgtsouth, # Mar 11, 2008 5:33:28 AM

Good job!

Love it, this is now my default weather widget

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

Hi djthproductions, glad to see you like the widget!

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!!!

By risidoro, # Feb 28, 2008 6:05:58 PM

Looks great!

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!
