Description: Plasmoid showing 5-days forecast with data from SMHI, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute. Is of course most suited for swedish users…
The icons are picked from Wojciech Grzankas superkaramba icon theme.
Features
- 5-days forecast with temperature, wind and weather - Current weather observation (only works for Sweden) - Interactive configurationLast changelog:
0.2.2 Fixed faulty weather icon sizes in KDE 4.2.2

0.2.0 Fixed restore size on reboot issue Compiles on KDE 4.2 (or at least on 4.2 RC1) Cosmetic changes
Hi,
cant't see any weather conditions under my city name. There is only city name, the place under is blank but in table everything is ok.
Installed as root in KDE 4.4.2

And I can find the smhi applet in add/remove plasma applets but when added to the desktop i get the message that it cant find requested component smhi...
How to solve this?
I rated it down because there's only one option and that's for the 64bit. I know, i know. Most people are still using 32 bit even when 64bit has been around along time.
Nope, there are two options: Ubuntu amd64 package, or compile from source ;)
People with the skills to make packages for their own distribution and architecture are most welcome to submit their builds!

It seems like the lib-file isn't always installed by make install. Try to manually copy build/lib/plasma_applet_smhi.so to the install location (/usr/lib/kde4/ ?)
I've managed to install it on a fedora 10 machine with kde 4.2. It appears under "Add widgets..." but when i add it to my desktop i get the smhi box, although all it says is:
"This object could not be created for the following reason:
Could not find requested component: smhi"
Can someone please help me?
'make install' doesn't seem to actually copy the library (plasma_applet_smhi.so) from build/lib to the kde lib dir (/usr/lib/kde4 in my case)
Manually copying the file fixed it for me.
I'm extremely new to linux...this is the first thing I've tried installing from source. I followed the "how to install" instructions and after the cmake command, it tells me the source does not contain CMakeLists.txt. What is my next step?
I notice that the plasmoid doesn't work when using http-proxy.
Is it possible to add that function in a later version? Other plasmoids work fine with proxy.
Finally a plasmoid with which i can see the forecast for my town!
Previously I had to use the city next to me to get a somewhat close forecast. The sad thing is that the weather differs alot between two cities 30 kilometres apart. Especially when there's a huge lake, like the biggest one in Sweden, and a wide-but-not-so-high mountain involved so that forecast for the city next to mine is pretty useless.
Very nice plasmoid. Just two things:
1. It seems the widget doesn't remember its size. Is it because I use KDE from trunk or can anyone else reproduce this? (Resize, restart Plasma).
2. It looks a little bit "messy" at the moment. Clearer rows/columns would be nice.
I haven't tried the new version, but judging from the screenshot I can only say one thing: Awesome.
This plasmoid is going to be very useful when I update to KDE4 (currently only playing around in trunk), thanks for making it!
I get this error:

What do I need to install to get libkdecore.so?

Fixed it myself.. the plasma-applet-smhi was not in usr/lib/kde4 as it should so i manually copied it there and now it works..

Could someone pls help me to make an 32bit deb-file? I was looking at your link but I do not have the time to learn/try that :(
I still have crazy big icons even after the upgrade to 0.2.2
Did you restart plasma? Did you compile from source, or did you use the Ubuntu package?
I compiled it from source and have restarted plasma several times since then. Still biggy icons.
It seems like the lib-file isn't always installed by make install. Try to manually copy build/lib/plasma_applet_smhi.so to the install location (/usr/lib/kde4/ ?)

I can confirm this on Kubuntu 8.10 (KDE 4.2.00).
'make install' doesn't seem to actually copy the library (plasma_applet_smhi.so) from build/lib to the kde lib dir (/usr/lib/kde4 in my case) Manually copying the file fixed it for me.
Oh, on Kubuntu 8.10, that is. KDE 4.2.

Remember of size fixed, and clearer rows and cols :) I'm far from a GUI expert, so suggestions making the layout cleaner is much appreciated!
I haven't tried the new version, but judging from the screenshot I can only say one thing: Awesome. This plasmoid is going to be very useful when I update to KDE4 (currently only playing around in trunk), thanks for making it!
Please, port this plasmoid to KDE 4.2 API (Plasma::Icon -> Plasma::IconWidget)
Sorry, it seems that "#include <plasma/widgets/icon.h>" unnecessary at all.
Really nice ! Working fine with the Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex (KDE 4.1.3) Again - WoW !
