GWeather port #103

Hi everyone ! This is a preview of the port to GWeather :

GWeather port

What do you think ? :)

I will send the code tonight or tomorrow !

jayr0d commented 11 years ago

The more weather the better!

I have some design thoughts...

I like the old use of commas instead of the new use of slashes.

Recommend instead of putting wind under the main forecast, put feels like there, and then have visibility, dew, humidity, pressure, and wind to the right. I also like the old use of a directional icon for wind instead of the text.

Perhaps you can left align the last row of the forecast and move the locations and settings selections to the right. Attached is a picture of what I mean for the alignment.

weather

Neroth commented 11 years ago

GWeather give me directly the value with units (etc) (Wind => "West / 27,8 km/h"), so I cannot change to directional icon, change slashes etc ... without a ugly function ... Waiting for GNOME Shell 3.8 !

Slashes is added by GWeather ...

Wind line can take a big size so I put it her ...

Last row is designed for GNOME Shell : see your others buttons ;) !

jayr0d commented 11 years ago

Sounds good. Thanks for the reasons.

oneclicklogin commented 11 years ago

Looks great, maybe make the 7 forecasts a little bit smaller & put their gray date/time on top..

Also: wouldn't http://openweathermap.org or something similar be more appropriate than Google/Yahoo?

Neroth commented 11 years ago

Updated ;) ! You can now test yourself :)

We will see ! :)

The extension use GWeather who provide NOAA in 3.6 and Yahoo etc in 3.8 !

GWeather version = version 2.0 of the extension ;).

jayr0d commented 11 years ago

Requires gir1.2-gweather-3.0 for Ubuntu 12.10. Consider updating README.

Anyone else trying this will also need to remove and add the city, since it is from a different provider?

Is there an easy way to run both master and GWeather branches side by side?

GWeather

alexxtasi commented 11 years ago

Good work!!! I am just using the weather gnome-shell-extension and its really nice and gweather looks better... how can I install it? (using ubuntu 13.04 and gnome 3.8.1). Like oneclicklogin said.... why don't you use openweathermap.org ? Is there any plans for the gui to let the user choose the source of data? (I know this would be more complicated... )

ferdnyc commented 11 years ago

Very cool! This is an exciting development, can't wait to see it in action. Layout-wise, can I suggest the following? ...

  1. Incorporate the "today" forecast into the top, larger row. (And eliminate things that don't make sense, like displaying the date — it's simply "Today". But if it's better incorporated into the current-conditions section, even that doesn't need to be explicitly stated.)
  2. With that block eliminated, lay out the remaining 6 days of forecast data as a 3x2 grid. (I find the current staggered placement very confusing / offputting — not a fan! Sorry.)
  3. I feel like those extended forecast blocks could be re-worked to better emphasize, in descending order of importance:
    • The predicted conditions (icon, text)
    • The high and low forecast temps
    • The day for which the forecast applies. (Focusing on the day of the week, which is arguably sufficient all by itself; if the date is included at all, it can be extremely small relative to the other elements.)
    • The time and temperature shown after the slashes — which I really don't understand, what do those even represent? — are confusing and should be eliminated. (Unless they have some meaning that I'm not understanding.)

For Item 3, I think a good layout for each block might be:

berarma commented 11 years ago

This is very interesting. It would enable the extension for a lot of cities currently not available like mine, wouldn't it? The extension isn't usable for me right now without this.

Neroth commented 11 years ago

Hi everyone, the developpement of the GWeather branch will restart the 2 July (Fedora 19 with GNOME Shell 3.8). The "Yahoo! Weather" version is only for GNOME Shell 3.4 => 3.6 and the "GWeather" version only for >= GNOME Shell 3.8.

I stop developpement of the "Yahoo! Weather" version, so the "GWeather" version will be transfert to "master" !

ignatenkobrain commented 11 years ago

Hi Neroth! Why we need to wait ? GNOME 3.8 is released in march 2013..

Neroth commented 11 years ago

My main system is fedora 18 ... And no time :/

ignatenkobrain commented 11 years ago

Neroth, update to f19 with fedup =) I use f19 from preprealpha =)

ferdnyc commented 11 years ago

Fedora 19 comes out TOMORROW. I really think it can wait one more day. :-)

alexxtasi commented 11 years ago

hi! and thanx for the fresh new release!!! I'm using ubuntu 13.04 with GNOME Shell 3.8.3 and in extensions.gnome.org I can only find weather and not GWeather... how can install GWeather?

Neroth commented 11 years ago

The new version is in review on extensions.gnome.com ;)

Install it with this command : cd ~ && git clone git://github.com/Neroth/gnome-shell-extension-weather.git cd ~/gnome-shell-extension-weather ./autogen.sh && make local-install

alexxtasi commented 11 years ago

ferdnyc commented 11 years ago

The new version has been approved by extensions.gnome.org and is now available, I just noticed.

It upgraded with no problems, for me, and seems to be working great. Thanks, Neroth!

alexxtasi commented 11 years ago

I upgraded the new version from the extensions.gnome.org, but it didn't work. I just followed the steps but the weather icon disappeared. Then I tried to reinstall it from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/613/weather/ pressing the on/off button, then pressing Install, and nothing happens!!! I am using ubuntu 13.04 and gnome shell 3.8.3 any suggestions?
