Hmm, well, as i said it's nice i gave it a try. But it has some
serious problems IMO. It's nice on the Desktop, but if you put it in
the panel, you need a magnifier to be able to read the Weather details
or the forecast for the next days. It's *very* small.
I found the font very small as well, even on the desktop.
And i had a
plasma carsh short after i added it. But i'm not 100% sure if
it's
really related to it. Normally i dont have plasma crashes here.
But maybe i'm doing something wrong.
Same here. Plasma crashed after I clicked OK when in the configuration
dialog.
I prefer yaWP over it.
I use the Weather Forecast applet myself. Was easier to configure as
"Environment Canada" was one of the data sources. No need to use
accuweather or other website.
