Google Gadgets: New Weather

Why did Google unilaterally change the location to London UK? That's about 2000 miles away across lots of land and an ocean!

I like very much that this shows humidity. The text is small and hard to read. I would love to see "heat index" added.

This is the only alternative to the ever malfunctioning Google weather gadgets. My only complaints are that you can only select one location - which should be from a list - and I would like a larger font used for the actual temperature. Otherwise it is all you could expect. Is the a new version in the planning, Ben?

Location ID would be helpful. What locations are in fact available? I do not have four day forecast in my installation.

I like my weather doovey and it is accurate, but I have a problem. When it's docked to the sidebar it's too small and I don't have the option to zoom it when it's docked (I do when it's undocked). When I undock it it's just right at 100%, but I don't have the option for it to self-hide so it gets in the way. Maybe it needs a bit of refinement still.

I dumped Goolgle's own weather gadget in favour of this - yes is a little better, but only marginally so. Weather is currently 24c, sunny & cloudless - forecast says it's 12c & foggy. Plenty of web sites can provide accurate weather, surely someone can manage to get a gadget to do the same?

Really nice app - has great potential. Seems to be quite accurate most of the time. I like the size and layout -- it's nearly perfect. I would most like to see an upgrade include multiple location monitoring. I would also like to know the source for the weather data (though the author may not want to reveal that).

The icons are really nice but that is about it. Text on the bottom is cut off - the pop-out 4-day forecast doesn't make sense.

Click once on the left edge of the icon (you may have to hunt around a bit) to get the 4-day forecast.

Währe schön wenns nen wetter gadget gebe das die Infos von wetter.com bezieht.dann könnte ich das wetter in meiner stadt sehen statt das in der in köln. denn dort ist das wetter ganz ander als im Bergischen

Great weather app, works really good. Would like to see what town or area is being displayed though. If you have multiple weather apps on the sidebar, you have to guess which one is which.

Unlike some, I like the size. I have a slew of gadgets and need a nice, compact gadget. Perfect size. Unlike Google weather, this one is showing the correct icons. Just wish you could have more than one city.

Hey, I presumably solved the problem! I downloaded the gadget again from here and asked to open it with Google Desktop, and all icons are back there! Seems not to find the icons. There's a cross instead. any remedies? Weather update very true. Very good. A pity for the icons

I can confirm this. The icons used to be there but suddenly disappeared.

Michael

No forecast. No symbols. Crap.

Courtney

No forecast as advertised.

Too small, otherwise very good.

I love this weather gadget you can also change the colour of it. I just wish it was a bit bigger.
