Why are you and OMWeather developer not working together?
What are the + and - of each of these applications? Perhaps food for a wiki entry.
No offense, just noticing...

Nice applet indeed. I dropped OMWeather because of it's "hey - I think I can do anything" approach. Fullscreen details were the final nail.

Just wondering... I've used both of the apps, but does anybody else notice a big difference on the actual DATA - at least for me in Helsinki, Finland, the Foreca gives a lot more usable/accurate forecast. And that's still the main thing with weather applet - doesn't matter which UI I like, it's the information that matters!

There is no excuse to eat more space than the applet itself uses.
I know - configurability of OMWeather makes it probably impossible but I like Foreca applet's way.

So it's nice to stay within this and only this space with controls and configuration. No additional windows - applet changes it's face. It's all within it's space and as I said - when size is highly configurable - this kind of behaviour looks rather impossible to apply. This means "simple" for this kind of things at least for me.
The worst case scenario is (imo) applet setting via control panel.
Maybe because applet for me means something like "almost application" - something tiny.

As for resizing - I've had it on my mind when I said about configurable custom views etc.
IMHO if something is done right - It'll fit a large number of users. As for configuration - You can always find someone who will be dissapointed because of lack of this or that but going that way will certainly increase number of people tired with so many options.
