Re: [SLUG] Gnome WeatherApplet
If I could ask, what weather applet allows you to see the radar map like this? I would love to know.. I use desklets, which only offer very limited information (if you can get it working at all)... thanks.. Charles. John wrote: Thanks John.

Re: [SLUG] Gnome WeatherApplet
I just followed the instructions and it worked for me. ubuntu/gnome/click on upper task bar and sellect add to pannel "weather report" and point it at the given url I often use that radar so it is a quick way there Ken charles wrote: If I could ask, what weather applet allows you to see the radar map like this?

Out of interest, for those not in Sydney other radar maps can be found here: http://mirror.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/ -- Sonia Hamilton.
