One Location setting for all weather widgets #29

I think it's a better option to have one universal location selection settings so that users don't have to select their location one by one in every weather widget, when they are using more than 1 weather widget on their windows desktop. It's my personal opinion to enhance user experience. And thanks for this great app.

That was intentional so the scenario when user wants to have multiple widgets each for different location would work. But I see that with some new weather views, it would be convenient to select the location only once.

I'm not sure how to make so it won't break the first scenario.

I can suggest the following: when user adds another weather widget, it would use the same location as the previous one. User can still change it using the context-menu, and it would only affect the widget user clicked.

My suggestion is to add a switch in Settings - Weather: whether to use the same location. If the user turns on this switch, a location input box will be displayed below to help the user specify the location.

i find both ways fine, you can go ahead with whatever way you think is easy to implement.
