(Xfce seems to be popular among Debianites.) Apparently there is a new version of the Xfce weather applet that works and is currently available in the Debian Testing repos. More important, there has been a discussion lately of the Xfce weather applet on the Debian listserv. I haven't actually ever logged into Gnome 3 since upgrading to Fedora 16.
#Weather indicator applet download#
Apparently I could download the source and compile it, if I knew how.Īs for newer/older, I used the Gnome weather applet for many years, and it's still there if I log in to Gnome 2.3.2 on my Lucid desktop computer. I found the web page for indicator applet. No xubuntu here I'm using Fedora 16, x86_64. If you use xubuntu, try indicator-weather (it uses indicator plugin for xfce panel, don't know if it's supported outside xubuntu, sadly.) Today with gnome 3 I think that xfapplet will not have much future, at least imho

Not the best looking I know but it’s just a test code for now, I will update the repository once I have something nice working.Don't remember the details, but some time ago I read that xfapplet did not support "newer" applets. Here’s what my first try at this looks on macOS Sierra:
#Weather indicator applet windows#
Technically, the application runs fine on Windows and macOS if GTK is installed but I tried and while it works, visually it doesn’t look very polished.
You can download it via go get: $ go get -u "/guitmz/go-weather-indicator"Īnd the usage is as simple as: $ go-weather-indicator -city Berlin -country Germany -key API_KEYįor now I am happy with it but I really wanted to make this cross platform using the systray and ui Go packages. I plan to add further customization and more features but the essential goal was reached here, a simple icon that gives me some information about the weather (when you hover your mouse over it). As of now, it accepts your country, city and API key as parameters and updates the weather every 1 hour. I fired up Visual Studio Code (amazing Golang support, really) and started writting what became my own simplistic (very) weather indicator. There was no available Go package for Weatherbit API so I quickly wrote one after testing a lot locally with curl and reading their documentation (not very feature rich, very simple and lacking some features that their API provided, which I might improve in the future).Īll I had to do now was to write the actual indicator. Looking at the provided icons, I decided to give it a try.
#Weather indicator applet free#
I went back to search for another provider and came across Weatherbit which allows 75 free API requests per hour, more than enough for my needs. It worked well and all but honestly, I didn’t liked the icons on my dark tint2 bar for some reason. I started by forking go-wunderground which is a Go package to interact with the Weather Underground API and modifying it a little bit to include icon support, something that the original author didn’t included.
The plan was to find a weather provider with a free API and as a bonus, I wanted a provider which could also give me weather icons for each kind of scenario. The go-gtk package is really nice, even tough it is said to cover 47% of all what GTK has to offer, it is still amazing.
So I came across go-gtk and felt compeled to write my own tiny indicator. Usually, the desktop environments I have used (Gnome, KDE, Mate) have some sort of applet for this included and I really never bothered (when I was using Openbox before, I had some hacky script that would display the weather in my tint2, but I can’t find it anymore). After I had everything working as I wanted to, I noticed the lack of a weather indicator in my systray. Recently I started using Openbox as my WM again (after a long time with KDE, the nostalgia hit me).
