Hi All,

Does GoodWeather work with openSuSE11.0?

I've used Forecastfox forever. I love those gDesklets. I like to clutter my Desktop. LOL!

forecastfox had some major problems with memory leaks in the not so distant past, i wonder if they have been fixed...
meh, i actually prefer the applet on my desktop, not in my browser...

HOWTO: Fix GoodWeather feeds 	Posted by: seandiggity on 2008-07-16 20:06:51
Edit line 41 of ~/.gdesklets/Sensors/GoodWeather/__init__.py and change: ∏=xoap& to: ∏=xoap&link=xoap& Similar fixes apply for all the desklets/screenlets out there that rely upon weather.com

Turn on your editor's number and scroll to line 41

When it comes to weather applets... Does anyone know, how are things going with LiquidWeather? AFAIK it doesn't work with KDE4. But is it going to work? Or perhaps there is any way to make it work?

A really sharp weather applet is the ClearWeather screenlet. Have never had a problem with it. You can read about Screenlets and get the 1-click installer here: Screenlets - Desktop applications, widgets and screen addons for openSUSE | SUSE & openSUSE

TheSuSeGuy,

Thanks for that. I've got the Weather Screenlet running well.

A couple of questions - I'm not able to change the Themes. I'm not sure where to dial down into my file directory to load different ones. The config manager doesn't show as was on the link that you sent.

Also, I've got plenty of gDesklets going, and can make sure that they start on boot by adding them to Sessions. What command are you using?

As you can see - I love my eye candy, and I run all those cool compizFusion effects. Gawd, I love Linux!
