    Would be nice if this widget would update its data from time to time. It seems the only way to update is to change to another widget then come back.

    Any chance of getting this to work out side the US? The Weather Channel has my weather in the UK but the widget will only accept US zip codes. This widget is much better looking than the UK one.

    Would it be possible to update this so that when "Celsius" is chosen for temperature all other units are also metric, e.g. barometer (hPa) , visibility (km), wind speed (km/h)

    I really like this widget, except for the fact that the radar for Atlanta is zoomed waaay out and not centered.

    If you try to install the widget from Mozilla, then you can't see the screen to allow you to enter the zipcode. If you use Internet Explorer, then you can see the zip code entry screen.

    Unfortunately quite inaccurate info for Sydney, Australia. Current temp is degrees out & forecast doesn't match with official Bureau of Metereology info.

    moshiko51, the radar image for Chicago is better now - but still not ideal. The image is centered somewhere just east of Detroit, Michigan. While Chicago is on the map now, most of our weather comes from the West. It would be much more usefull if the image was then centered west of Chicago, like this image, http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_mw_4regradar_plus_usen.jpg .

    The issue with the radar showing the wrong area should be fixed now.

    Ditto "... but the radar is showing the wrong region for the Chicago area."

    I love the new widget, but the radar is showing the wrong region for the Chicago area. The radar screen is centered on Kentucky - too far south and east. In fact Chicago is barely on the map. It would be better if it was centered on say Cedar Rapids as the majority of our weather comes form the West.

    I love the newly improved widget. Fantastic upgrade!! The radar is great but I wish it was more customizable (ie zoom and animation).

    The older widget, simpler widget was nicer. Just the temperature and three day forecast. Can we have this back please? The reason is that as part of a smart alarm clock, I would need to put on glasses to pick out the temperature. All the new information is noise and can be obtained from other widgets. The radar maps should be a completely separate widget.

    A screen timing config would be nice. Sometimes I look over and say "ah, what's the weather tomorrow?" and immediately the screen switches to the current temp and then the widget switches off to the next one before it goes back. It seems that unless I'm watching the chumby, this widget changes it's screen as soon as I want to read it's information.

    I'm waiting for a sudden drop of temperatures to be forecasted, where the low will end up being higher than the high.

    geeze this widgets got a few kinks to work out!

    Make that _two_ bugs, one in the display code for the three-day and another in the XML parsing code.

  • chuttenh

    There's a silly copy/paste bug in this widget that uses the first day's low for all three days' forecasts.

    Okay, how and WHERE do I input my location and preferred temp display? Me confused.

    Nice widget, but after a few minutes, it will not display the icons for days 2 and 3....
