Installation
For installation, run the following commands:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
That's it!
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 (cf. WOEID)
You can specify your location using the following command:
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 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
Position in Panel (optional, center by default)
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
