Having the same problem as stlbud. Too bad. I really like this one.

This has always been one of my favorites but it has stopped working recently. I get the time and messages but no weather. Is anyone else having problems?

This claims to do just what I want from my Chumby full-time (ie, no other apps). But if I leave it on this app full-time, it never updates the weather data. I have worked out how to force it: I have it in the channel twice. It runs for 5 minutes, then it runs for 5 minutes again. Each time it loads it seems to update the weather data. This has solved my only problem with the app, and I am quite glad to have it.

I really want to like this widget enough to use it! I'm not entirely comfortable with it though. Here's why: The clock section shifting with the colon blink (as WarnerYoung described) and the font size changing sporadically from 10:00 to 12:59. It appears that only the month shows during May. (as Carldc said) The weather doesn't seem to update without a reload. (as popradiodotfm mentioned) That can be worked around by putting Superclock for 5-10 minutes and another widget for a few seconds on a separate channel, but then there are times when the weather doesn't get loaded. I realize that dnkorte originally made this for personal use as mentioned in the forums. It's a nice widget, I'd like to see an update with some fixes!

I like the color, the date, the weather info, the personal message, the dimming feature, the ability to read it across the room. This really is a Super Clock!!

I, too, like this clock. However the temp is not updating. I have to reload the channel it's on to get a current temp.

I think this one is the best Chumby digital clock, simply because of the value added with weather & messaging. Suggest making color customizable.

Didn't this used to show the date as well as the month (description SAYS "day, date")? Right now all I see is the month and day, which is somewhat awkward. Still my favorite clock.

I think this is my favorite clock. Hands down. One request: I have this twice, once to show the weather where I live, next to show where I work. Is there a way to show which one I'm using at which time? For example, show that one shows Oakland and the other shows San Francisco?

I can't get it to hold PST. It always reverts to EST. Any suggestions??

I can't get the customization window to hold the input info (city code and message).

I think I may know what caused the problem I saw before. It seems this widget stops reporting time correctly if an alarm goes off. After canceling the alarm, the time is stuck and doesn't update.

Agree with flipside101. Would be nice with international weather.

2 minor nits: 1) it's slightly annoying that the numbers shift when the colon blinks or and off. It seems like it should be possible to fix that by painting the colon using the background color (as opposed to not painting it at all), or by aligning the numbers in some other way. 2) This morning, I woke up and saw 10:23 on my Chumby (in Superclock). Then I looked at my computer and found that it was actually past noon. I'm not sure what caused this. A suggestion: can the code parse the weather info and maybe paint it in different colors, depending on whether it's sunny, cloudy, etc.?

Nice but not for me as the weather seems to be US only , i know i cant complain as currently the Chumby itself is US only.
