10.4: Personalise the World Clock widget
Authored by: Anonymous on May 03, '05 04:20:16PM

That was an easy to implement hint. Thank you.
I wonder if you can go one step further and work the magic with the weather widget. The town I live in is very small and has no listing @ accuweather. But, is reasonably close to a big city that is listed. Can you figure out some manipulation to replace the name of the big city with my small town in the weather widget? It seems like there is no list of names to edit, and probably pulls the names from the accu-weather database.

Thanks
Indy

10.4: Personalise the World Clock widget
Authored by: Anonymous on Dec 13, '09 04:26:55PM

Better late than never...

Probably not possible, because the World Clock stores a set of locations internally, whereas the Weather widget makes a query to an external resource. You have control over the local stuff, like the World Clock, but to update the Weather widgets, you're looking at updating the remote site... or, putting in some logic after the location string has been read to convert certain instances into other instances for the query, and another when the results come back to ensure the displayed location is what was entered. No mean feat.
