Yes, KWeather *is* a bit messy. Not all the stations listed |
40 |
in /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kweatherservice/stations.dat are |
41 |
available in the selector combo. This makes selecting your station |
42 |
in the Kontact Summary view problematic. However, for the KWeather |
43 |
panel applet you can manually edit (after shutting down the applet) |
44 |
the file ~/.kde3.5/share/config/weather_panelappletrc. Minr |
45 |
contains this: |
46 |
|
47 |
[General Options] |
48 |
dock_font=helvetica,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 |
49 |
log_file_name= |
50 |
logging=false |
51 |
offline_mode=true |
52 |
report_location=EGNR |
53 |
reportview_size=450,325 |
54 |
smallview_mode=2 |
55 |
timout_value=60 |
56 |
|
57 |
Select the correct code for report_location, restart the applet and |
58 |
you should be OK. |
