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.

Any ideas why I get:
Instead of:

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

You were supposed to respond that I should have used a semicolon between those phrases rather than separating them into two sentences.

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.

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

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.
