Weather Docklet Alternatives?

from Stardock Forums

It seems the weather docklet in objectdock displays the high temperature for the day, not the current temperature which I would prefer.  Are there any other weather docklets available for objectdock?

Hmmm, mine shows the current temp and then when I put the mouse on it the five day forecast shows up.

What version of Object Dock, free or Plus?

I think there are other weather dockets in the WC Gallery Library.  Have you checked there?

I am using free version; but just noticed the temperature has changed to close to the current temperature.  Must be that it doesn't update the temperature that frequently or something because it jumped down 7 degrees.

Seems to be a lot of issues with this docklet.  I read in another post where someone would like to be able to change the color of the temperature because it is hard to read; I think so too.

Also read a post where many users were complaining about the flyout 5 day forcast showing wrong day labels.  I tried the workaround about downloading another .ocx file but it did not work for me.

Guess I'll live with what I have or just take it out of the dock.

Thanks,

I never tried to change when (how often) the current temp updates in the weather docklet, not really sure how to or if you can.

EDIT:  Oops, at least in plus if you put the mouse over the weather docklet and right click you see an option to Update Now.
