Weather
About
Originally written by Bob Schlärmann, this panel plugin shows the current temperature and weather condition, using weather data provided by xoap.weather.com.
Attention: The folks at weather.com have upgraded their platform in July 2009 to make the API key mandatory. It wasn't required previously (apart in writing), and the Weather plugin didn't implement that before 0.6.3. You'll need version 0.6.3 or more recent to make the Weather plugin work again.
Usage
At the initial configuration dialog, the Weather plugin automatically configures itself to fetch weather data from a place which should be near you - based on your IP address.
You can change this location using the Change… button, and searching for the city (and country) you're interested in.
In this configuration screen, you can also choose which information you want visible in the panel.
On the panel icon, a middle click forces an update, left click brings up a forecast and details page. Right-clicking opens the contextual menu.
