gnome-shell-extension-weather is a simple extension for displaying weather notifications in GNOME Shell.
Currently, the weather report including forecast for today and tomorrow is fetched from Yahoo! Weather.
And with French translation:
For installation, run the following commands:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
That's it!
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 (cf. WOEID)
You can specify your location using the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid your_woeid
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
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
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
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
You can configure whether to show the weather condition text together with the temperature in the panel (requires restart of GNOME Shell).
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-text-in-panel true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-text-in-panel false
The position of this GNOME Shell extension in the panel can be configured to either '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 right
Don't forget to restart GNOME Shell:
