Every device comes with a branded home launcher but the very prospect of being able to experience the launcher and widgets from some other device always thrills us. Go to the Gnome or KDE websites.Launcher and widgets are some of the most popular means to customize the home screen of our Android devices. These are the DE widgets or applets, they have nothing to do with Ubuntu. Are you using KDE by chance? My Gnome weather applet shows a forecast and weather map. Maybe I could spend a week or so and find the best applets around and compile them as an alternative list and hope they get adopted as the default if people prefer them.Īt least you have the right attitude here. Maybe if I have some skills next year I will donate my time to help out. Sometimes at it takes are little things put together well to make a product that has potential absolutely awesome. it might not be high a new users priority list to sit and look for better replacements to their applets one by one, but its just one of those little things that makes the desktop look more beautiful right out of the box with graphic depictions of the weather and a 5 day graphical forcast in a small semi-transparent box in the top right. One barrier stopping people from downloading a superior applet is being unaware of a better one. I think that accuweather has a better weather app that works for everyone with less effort.What might be a step up though is to replace the calendar with a full feature planner that imports the weather information from accuweather.so you can see what the weather is like when you are making plans.Īlso, I dont know if this would be a security threat for some people, but remote syncing with your planner on your other devices, including other platforms like my old HTC mogul would be nice.maybe submit info to a remote account rather than by accessing your computer directly.īiker wrote:Nothing prevents users from removing a program that doesn't work for them and installing their own preferred version.ĭebatable. Is there a different weather app that you have to add from the software manager or synaptic? I am talking about the widget that claims it provides forcasts. I typed in all the info that I see that I am able to. I am not sure how I could possibly be doing anything wrong because there isnt that many options. I have put all my information in but I still only get the current temperature, and not even for my own city but the closest big one. This one is separate from the time and date, but its the only one that is on the list of ones you can add when you right click on the panel.
