[edit] Installation

Install as usual by extracting the contents of the screenlet's archive to the directory "$HOME/.screenlets".

[edit] Requirements

Requires no additional libaries. Runs with the default installation. (Put the requirements for your own screenlet here)

[edit] Usage

go on www.weather.com and search the name of your city , then click it , then on the url you will get something like http://www.weather.com/...=*******(* = Code) , the **** is your zip code copy it into the screenlet and your set

[edit] Discussion

I think there is a network problem with weather.com and this screenlet. Reading at enigma_OZ at http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=8137&highlight=weather, and modifying his patch (I removed &prod=xoap option in the urlopen lines) I solved the problem.

Apply patch with "patch < file" in the ClearWeather directory installation
