Weather.com on dock?

from WinCustomize Forums

Any way that I can use weather.com for my docklet instead of accuweather.com?

 

Or, is there another docklet/app icon that works with weather.com instead of accuweather.com? Accuweather is always several degrees off and is delayed significantly in its weather updates.

 

Thanks!

I don't think so. Weather dot com went to a licensing deal, making it unusable for DX widgets and OD.

Actually Weather.com is the source for Yahoo's Weather Widget galanteg, you can see it in operation here: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7737/ .

Problem is, Yahoo has discontinued it, but I can send you a copy (or anyone else that wants it) if you PM me with your email address. It still works perfectly. :thumbsup:

not really. you can make the api-key user dependent and leave it to the user to get one himself. 500 calls a day are free. the problem is rather to find somebody who codes dx widgets or object dock.
