The weather card, for example, will always detect your location. It takes you to your MSN settings page where you can pick the news categories that you like.Įach card in the News and Weather panel has a three-dot button, which you can click to customize its settings. To customizing your news feed, click the Manage Interests button at the top of the pop-up. In addition to displaying the weather information, it also shows you top stories from news websites, stock prices, and traffic updates. I was thinking of having to deconstruct the entire logic of the widget to work out how to accept the feed from another site (if I could find an XML source in the first place).Left-click on the weather widget and a big panel pops-up. I even got in touch with the author of the widget to firstly thank him for his work that I've used all these years, then to ask for his help, but then after I found the fix, I then let him know (and he replied). I hope this feed link continues for some time with It does for me, and it seems much quicker than in the past. Open the weather.kon file from within Yahoo Wigget engine and it should all start to work again. It was a thread on remote central p3 of the discussion titled 'replacement for weather xml feed' a comment by 'Fischi'. Again, I would like to post that link, but can't yet. So, I tried it and magically all started to work again. I was just lucky to find this url from another forum where there was an obscure reference to this url. (note, I even used the waybackmachine to find links to the widget converter and pdf's of tutorials on how to program widgets) The file you need to edit is main.js (javascript), in the Scripts directory, line 572, replace the url for 'yahoowidget' to 'wxdata'. This converter simply unpacks the Yahoo weather widget into it's component parts. But there are tutorials on how to program widgets (Konfabulator widget programming). You need the 'Widget Converter' widget (I can't post links yet to this forum, as this is my first post). Any changes made to the widget will make the widget fail unless you decompile it (or perhaps better wording is 'unpack' it). This was done after much searching/testing.įirst, you have to decompile the widget. All other solutions require you to go into Options/search/change location. the biggest advantage is that you can easily/quickly change location. the layout is still the nicest/cleanest graphics are the best with the Yahoo weather widget Well, one came close - MSN weather gadget - but it suffers from what all other gadgets fail at: I went through *every* other widget/gadget/win OS weather app available (I think it was over 50) and none came close to this one. I keep the engine running mainly for this widget. I've been using the Yahoo Weather widget for so many years, that I just had to find a fix.
