A, I missed one comment, that is - time isn't TIME but the last time the forecast was updated! Oh, so I can entrust to this widget ^^ Thanks!

PS: I love the multi-weather option. Other widgets like this can show weather info only for one city at the same time. Great stuff this is

Clock doesn't show correct time by me. So I don't know how accurate the displayed weather info is since weather depends on the time. Wrong time -> wrong weather info?

Nice Widget.... But I can't seem to save my locations... I enter 5 locations... no apparant save button... if I close and come back, locations are all empty

I really like this widget . . . but the information is not accurate for one of the cities that I want listed. What do I do?

Thank you risidoro! It's a cool and useful tool!

Thanks a lot for this widget. It's simply the leader of all widgets..

Only one thing I miss is forecast for today. For today there is information about current situation -that's all right -but when I shift is to forecast there is 3 days in advance apart from today !

Rather put there today, tommorow and one more day. That'll be much better for users I guess..

When I wake up and look at this widget I need to know curent temperature and today's forecast -so just recomendation for a small improvement. Thanks for good job.

The best weather widget I've found so far, to bad it does't have the weather for my city, Piatra Neamt.

By vremea , # Oct 29, 2008 10:56:46 PM

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

New version coming, that's good news!
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

: 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!
