Hi Peter, I absolutely agree. These (and various other) shortcomings exist and would ideally be addressed. This is just not going to be done by me for purely egoistical reasons, I'm afraid. Weathertime currently does exactly, what I want it to do -- nothing more and nothing less (well, I would love if the precipitation data could be provided by Wunderground, again, but that's another story...). So the bottom line probably boils down to: Should you have the same use case for the plugin as myself, I am happy to share it with you. If not, maybe other alternatives suit you better -- quite a few people seem to be very satisfied with SuperDateTime to name an alternative. -- martin.rehfeld Cheers, Martin Rehfeld ----------------------------------------------------------- Check out http://inside.glnetworks.de/ for more to come. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ martin.rehfeld's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4475 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21989 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
