hey i have a request and or question to ask

so i dl'd this recently and i got the extras pack and everything.
it works great no complaints from me here.

i would like however to get something like this in a widget for something not necessarily cpu+ram but something.

is this possible with pwidgets?

can i just mod the battery config file or the cpu gauge config file to display those images or do i need to something a little more complex like make one from scratch

Sorry to admit, I haven't been widgeting much as of lately.
I just took the new lupu525 for a test-run today and thought I'd also try the pwidgets (v. 2.3.1 through quickpet) out.
Tried the (very) few widgets I was responsible for, and saw that the EUR_USD exchange rate widget was broken (not a serious matter at all, I presume, since that widget was only made as a rapid response to a user request - don't know if anyone has been using it, or how long it has been broken).

Anyway, since I noticed it was broken, I fixed it and also took the opportunity to attempt to localise the decimal comma/decimal dot.
I'll attach the two files with names ending in the directories they should go in to + fake .zip extensions to fool the forum software ......

Thank you, I have included it for next release.

Upon being stopped, Pwidgets screws with my desktop background (i.e. sets the default one). Do not want.

Turn off sidebar, and Pwidgets will not interfere with wallpaper

I for one prefer my HDD spun-down when it isn't needed for a good-enough reason. (This applies to HDD frugal or full installs, I guess.)
Well, I'm sure more people would appreciate less disk activity when not necessary.

I am sorry to say that this is not handled my Pwidgets, but its engine - conky/xonclock/xwinwrap/xli

can any one help me?
I'm using puppy 5.2.5

Pwidgets is optimized to run on the default Puppy desktop (Window manager). You are not running a plain Puppy 5.2.5, and that is probably the problem.

Sorry, I didn't recognize openbox with your setup

What terminal output do you get when running 'fixwidgets' in Urxvt?

FATDOG uses Openbox. Is that why I'm seeing that behavior?

Hope this helps

I dont know if i am too noob but cannot find how to set (what is actually) my weathe rlocation

I think accuweather changed the page and i cannot get the city code in the address bar...
what i get is this:
http://www.accuweather.com/en-us/fr/ile ... cityID=623

have looked in the source code everywhere.... help please

I am in paris france

where can i get the city code ?

thanks

Accuweather has changed their pages yet again. We used to get the info from the rss feed but it's becoming impossible to find. I did find a database with some but not all codes.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachm ... 1237962161

Maybe we got to change to Yahoo or Google weather as accuweather is fast becoming unfriendly to those who don't want to pay money

Let it be known that a weather forecaster is the only occupation I know of where you can screw it up totally and still get paid. I still like to know the weather forecast though!

Geoffrey · #2973 Post by **Geoffrey** » Tue 07 Jun 2011, 11:55

The code for Paris EUR|FR|FR012|PARIS
found this at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AccuWeather

Thanks a lot.

BTW: there is other job that allows that: Banker... you screwup andthen the goverment gives you a bonus with the money you lost

SimpleWater · #2975 Post by **SimpleWater** » Sun 12 Jun 2011, 02:49

How can i customize pwidgets without breaking it? I took out the default analog clock, and a few things happened. The text became white instead of the orange, grey, white theme. Also Puppy Linux 5.2.5 became 5.2.5. And cpu and ram went away as well. Thats alot for just a clock!

I am using pwidgets 2.3.0, its the most recent on quickpet. Should i get the most recent on this thread or is this bug normal?

01micko · #2976 Post by **01micko** » Sun 12 Jun 2011, 04:20

re: weather code saga

I have found a way to find the weather code, courtesy of a mobile phone forum! (same forum as the database in my earlier post)

Of course USA users just need the zip code as before.

Take a look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpos ... stcount=40

Wink Accuweather codes

To find a code proceed as follows:
Google for netweather.accuweather.com and choose the link.

"Get my netweather"
"Choose location" for example Belfast then Search and select which Belfast for example in United Kingdom
"Next"
"I agree to these terms and conditions"
in the window web page code scroll down until you find EUR|UK|UK002|BELFAST|

That's it, good luck and fun

The calender becomes kind of useless. Since it does not display the current day with color. So any help would be great.

Change the theme to stardust orange or something.

Interesting, do you also know how to fix puppy linux 5.2.5? It displays 5.2.5 only, at moment.
