weather apps for Puppy

#1 Post by Walt H »

At one time, someone asked about adesklets and Python, and while I realized Python might make adesklets too big for Puppy, I was wondering if there is a weather application of some kind that is in terms of appearance (i.e., eye candy factor) somewhere between adesklets and say tkweather.

I really like the Liquid Weather theme of KDE's SuperKaramba, and I like the fact that adesklets can do similar things such as displaying forecast (with accompanying icons - clouds, sun, etc. to match). I'd kind of like to find something with a similar visual aspect for Puppy if anyone knows of such a thing. It obviously doesn't need to be as flashy as SuperKaramba's Liquid Weather+ theme, but I'm also not looking for simply text. Does such a thing exist for Puppy? (I'm running 1.0.9CE.) Thanks.

Now that you point it out to me, the answer seems painfully obvious.

If you are running Firefox (e.g. in 1.09CE) there is the Forecastfox browser extension which puts icons in the toolbar and has a hover balloon that showsmore detail.

I once made a simple one, but it could need some polishing:

This one looks interesting:

Enter "weather" in the search there for more.
