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.

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 Crying or Very sad

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!

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?

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/showpost.php?p=9393263&postcount=40

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

I just checked, and the latest Pwidgets already got this fix.

Would be great if there is a picture frame widget..... (or is it possible to customize the size of frame of the slideshow widget, like to show portraits ?)

On weather station it reads "to - morrow := " i am assuming it should be "tomorrow" I was able to see this in two machines.
