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

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

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.

Because it is raining in London and not in Moscow. Also, the date is different. Any other questions?

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

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 ?
