I've been trying to figure out how these weather widgets choose the correct icon. Right now Yahoo! Weather shows the sunset as 8:57pm, yet it is now after 10:00pm and my weather widget shows the sun. Is the Sun/Moon set by fetching something when it retrieves the weather online? Or is it set by a certain time determined in the HTML? If it is I couldn't find it. The hour or two everyday in the morning and at night kind of bother me a little:D:

It's not in the HTML that I can find. I believe it's *mostly* dictated by the weather service, plus the refresh time set in the widget. If you have a widget that only refreshes the icon every hour, for example (or two, I've seen some set for that), even if the weather service changes it at 9, you may not see it until 10. (times suggested are arbitrary, LOL, I have no idea what the exact timing is)

On the other hand, if you set the widget to refresh more often, you'll catch the "flash" as it changes more often when you're looking at your springboard. THAT drives me batty. I had a widget I adjusted the other day that was pinging for weather every 15 minutes, and I was sick to death of seeing the "dunno" png, even briefly. So it's a trade off.

I *really* need to get a hold of that weather icon set. Did it come with Noki, or some other set? I don't think I've seen a widget download that came with it, but I probably wasn't paying enough attention at the time. LOL

Thank you for the information, this is kind of what I thought. I made sure to refresh, but it was still showing the sun way past dark. I never really paid attention, but maybe I can find some nice weather icons that don't show the sun or moon, just the same weather icons day or night.

hi jjk454ss may i have the link to your weather widget pls tks :)[/QUOTE]


I actually just found this one last night, I was bored and wanted a different widget so I started going through all the old posts in this thread. It took a lot of time looking through everything, but I found a lot of cool stuff I either missed or forgot about.

So, if you want the widget have fun scouring through all the old posts.

j/k, here it is:
