Weather extension
Heres a way to install the weather extension on the latest up to date version of fedora,
su -
yum install gnome-common gtk3-devel glib2-devel intltool automake autoconf vala wget gnome-tweak-tool
wget https://github.com/simon04/gnome-shell-extension-weather/zipball/gnome3.2
unzip gnome3.2
mv simon04-gnome-shell-extension-weather-* weather
cd weather
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
make install
Restart GNOME Shell ([Alt]+[F2], r)
Go to applications and open up advanced settings (gnome-tweak-tool) and turn on the weather indicator extension.
Next you need to set your area, navigate here http://sigizmund.info/woeidinfo/ enter your town etc to get you woeid eg mine would be 31686
so in a normal non root terminal you would do below (example with my woeid yours will be different)
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid 31686
Also sometimes the name/place wont always be right, so to correct this do below, my example is using penkridge, yours will be different
so in a normal non root termina again,
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather city Penkridge
Heres a list of other configuration/options
Configuration
gnome-shell-extension-weather uses gsettings to save your configuration. You can use dconf-editor or gsettings from the command line to modify some parameters.
Location
See WOEID Info to determine your WOEID. You can specify your location using the following command. Perhaps you need quotation marks as in the second command.
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid your_woeid
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid "'your_woeid'"
Temperature Units (optional, celsius by default)
You can modify the temperature unit using one of the following commands:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather unit celsius
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather unit fahrenheit
Displayed Location (optional)
Sometimes your WOEID location isn't quite right (it's the next major city around). To customise the displayed city you can type:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather city your_city
Translate Weather Conditions (optional, true by default)
You may want to configure whether to translate the weather condition. If enabled, the condition is translated based on the weather code. If disabled, the condition string from Yahoo is taken. Note: Enabling the translation sometimes results in loss of accuracy, e.g., the condition string "PM Thunderstorms" cannot be expressed in terms of weather codes.
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather translate-condition true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather translate-condition false
Use Symbolic Icons (optional, false by default)
If desired, you can enable the usage of symbolic icons to display the weather condition (instead of full-colored icons).
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather use-symbolic-icons false
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather use-symbolic-icons true
Show Text in Panel (optional, true by default)
You can configure whether to show the weather condition text (aka. comment) together with the temperature in the panel (requires restart). If only weather condition text is undesired, consider show-comment-in-panel option.
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-text-in-panel true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-text-in-panel false
Show Comment in Panel (optional, false by default)
Configures whether to show the comment (aka. weather condition text, e.g. "Windy", "Clear") in the panel. Note that the temperature is still shown (if undesired, consider show-text-in-panel option).
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-comment-in-panel false
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-comment-in-panel true
Position in Panel (optional, center by default)
The position of this GNOME Shell extension in the panel can be configured to either 'left', 'center' or 'right' (requires restart of GNOME Shell).
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather position-in-panel center
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather position-in-panel left
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather position-in-panel right gnome3.2.zip | [ ] | 122 Kb |
