Very nice widget, in use at my site for very long time, now!
Just an idea for the forecasts: it would be nice if you showed the forecast for the same day up to some time in the afternoon, say 15h.
Greetings

Unfortunately not many cities in my country (Greece) can be found....even a city with 1.500.000 residents is not included!!

Thanks xblades for the skin, really beautiful.

I've a bad news for you all: due to an unexpected exam in semptember (my last one BTW

) i won't be able to work on a new revision at least until the end of september. I'm really sorry but at this point i really have to focus only on study. This has probably been the hardest and most boring summer of my life

Keep on waiting and thanks for your comments!

Bye,
Isidoro

BTW if anybody is interested in the png file used for the mod posted a few posts below, here it is:

as i said before its a rip off the Y! widget, so all credit goes to them

cheers!

Hi Risidoro,
Great widget

Do you think it is possible to integrate the information in the status bar, just like "Forecastfox l10n" add-on for Firefox? It would be useful to fave such an option.
Thanks!

Hi all,
thanks for your comments. I'll start working on a new version on august... Stay tuned...
bye and thanks again

@Eriker: the local time isn't actually a 'local time'. It is just the time the forecast was last updated. It's something i don't have any control on, it just comes with the rss feed from weather.com

But maybe i'll find something... keep hoping!

By risidoro, # Jul 19, 2008 6:56:16 PM

Great, but it shows a bad local time

- please fix if posible.

But thanks for making, I love it, it is really a great widget, hope there wil be a new version soon

By Eriker, # Jul 16, 2008 2:06:48 PM

A very useful widget. Thanks.

El mejor

para mi
Merci beaucoup

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!

By xblades, # May 31, 2008 10:39:09 AM

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!
