I have to agree. The update to OM Weather is nice. I redone settings UI is much better, and the option to few the device temperature is a nice touch.

We split omweather into two parts: omweather and omweather-weather-com-stations-db. Install last packet, please.

Wowzers! Holy ****! This thing just keeps evolving into the most beautiful AND useful application on the tablet. It's beautiful as well as functional and you keep tweaking at it as if it was aspiring to the level of artcrafting.

HUGE thanks for here!! Is there any way we can reciprocate for your excellent work? Donation? Wishlist on Amazon or Think Geek or something?

Can't say thank you enough for your attention to detail and keeping up the updates!

Any ideas why I get:

Instead of:

Not a serious problem but the gradient looks pretty :)

Edit, sorry, pictures should now load.

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
The first picture is only model of our designer Andrew Zhilin. The arrows around city name will be available in version 0.21.1 in September. Gradient will be made later.

Well, more to say, my mockup will totally suck in compare with september release :)

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
Excellent work guys, thank you. I love the new look of omweather 0.21. One minor problem, I noticed that if you select inHg for displaying the barometric pressure, it will read 0.03.

brianjdoherty 2008-08-17 23:47

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
It seems to me that the "Show wind" check box has no effect. Wind info is shown regardless. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Laughing Man 2008-08-18 01:15

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
Hmm installing this from testing extras and the station .db results in nothing showing up. I had to uninstall and revert back to the previous version in extras.

scuba04 2008-08-18 02:16

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
Wow! Absolutely sets the benchmark for other apps. Well done guys!

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
great update. wind works fine for me (it just displays the wind direction under the temperature on the deskop). However, one issue I have noticed is sunrise/sunset times are not accurate.

mooler 2008-08-18 04:18

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
cant seem to update. still showing 0.20.6. any ideas

tso 2008-08-18 05:09

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
extra-devel only...

so unless you feel like beta-testing, dont bother...

mve 2008-08-18 14:50

Re: new omweather (0.21) rocks
 
I'd like to ask little help from some one speaking English as a first language. Omweather's English help file has many errors and it would be good if some one can read it through and send the fixes for us. Best way would be to join the team in https://garage.maemo.org/projects/omweather/ but all help is appreciated.

Localizations may have also some translation errors so please fill a bug or contact us some other means.

Adding new translations is also fairly easy so if you are interested to translate omweather for your own language please contact us and we can tell you how to get started.

Our gratitude is all you get and probably your name in the thanks page in the omweather. I hope it's enough :D

any chance of ever having the option of tapping and getting a radar image for the set region?

I'd be happy to put my years of English study to use for you. Just registering a maemo account, and will join the team as soon as it allows me to do so.

Excellent job! It works flawlessly for me. Thanks.

I love the new sensor temperature feature. Does anybody know the effect on battery drain by setting this to update every 1 minute vs every 30 minutes?

Unnecessary comma! I call unnecessary comma! :)

I jest. In all seriousness, thanks for joining the team and helping to add to the already impressive quality assurance they've provided for a wonderful and free tool!

Yeah, yeah. I'm overflowing with praise but how can't you? As someone else put it, this application is certainly raising the bar for quality.

For some reason on my install, I can't see the drop down lists in the add station dialog.

You need to install "omweather-weather-com-stations-db" package to get this working. It should be on the repository or you can grap it from: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=1999

It seems to me that you can contribute a lot to this project, as I tend to use lot of these optional commas :D

Don't fall for it! It's a trap! :eek:

He's right, actually. :) In my old-school parochial advanced English classes they warned us about overusing commas in sentences and they heavily drilled us on Chicago style rules for the purposes of writing clear-to-read articles and for composition style in print. Despite their drilling an aversion of commas into us, there are plenty of correct places to use them that add timbre and convey expressions much more effectively and accurately than a bland string of subject-verb-object sentences, one after another.

For a pretty simple but clear explanation, check out Perdue University's Online Writing Lab: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handou...r/g_comma.html

And... Wow! Has this conversation EVER gone so off-topic? Sorry. :)

EDIT: Also, your screenshot is not sitting on an ice puddle. You need an ice puddle. Or maybe a circular mirror.

EDIT2: Also you need something to prop up the screenshot on the ice puddle.

Very nice. Having said that, it's very easy to lose changes to your settings by pressing the "(<)" back button, rather than the green OK. There's no confirmation, and since it's a new UI experimentation is many people's primary method of exploration.

There's also a nastiness where if your applet is positioned at the bottom left of your screen, clicking the "(X)" close button on the detail view can often trigger it to come back up again as the click percolates down to the desktop.

It's also not clear to me why the default Gtk+ look is coming through, rather than the Hildon theme. I suspect this is because you want to ensure it always looks the same, rather than taking into account the user's theme. If so, applications which consider their own design to be more important than system consistency are generally a Bad Thing[TM], IME.

Yes, we have the following FR

I hope we will make this in the current year.

Thanks for the response.
About confirmation: good idea, I think well implement that in stable version.

About doubleclick: well :) I think it's a bit tricky "bug", but I'll think over it how it can be avoided.

About theming: Right now it's just a test of future OMWeather appearence (see above), we are finishing it rught now. For those who don't like that we have a checkbutton to disable it and enable Hildon theming :)

Why sunrise/sunset times are not accurate? What did you mean ?
