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!

Cool, nice and sharp.
Just another upgrade please:
"THE POSSIBILITY TO ADD MORE CITIES AND A SCROLLING FUNCTION WITH A TIMER"

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?

Great widget! Thank you!

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 :-)

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.

Tried to find my tiny village in the middle of England, never thinking it would work, and it did! Brilliant widget, thanks.

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

By deciocavallo, # Jul 24, 2007 0:40:01 AM

Just perfect. Congratulations!

很好的widget

By kankoli, # Jul 12, 2007 9:03:41 AM

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?

Brilliant gift for Opera users! Thanks!

By icywind, # Jun 29, 2007 8:16:29 PM

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!
