Ok, first things first, this is pretty cool :) I don't want this to get into Cinnamon at the last minute. I think we should think about how weather is integrated as a whole into the desktop.. because this spans across an applet, a desklet, a screensaver.. which all deserve to be part of the Cinnamon core. In 6.4 we're also introducing Night Light.. and that (for the moment) reads our system timezone, but it also could potentially let the user define a position or calculate a position using geoip... and that's something which is quite global, as it can be useful here again for this weather-related set of features. Anyway, all this to say let's postpone this and give ourselves another 6 months to think about it. |

Weather Widget for cinnamon-screensaver
Adds a new type of floating widget (similar to Clock and AlbumArt) that displays a weather icon alongside the current weather conditions. Utilizes OpenWeatherMap for weather data and GeoJS.io for location data. Models and interfaces are designed to be mostly compatible with the Weather applet in cinnamon-spices-applets/weather@mockturtl so that additional Weather and Location providers can be easily added.
The OpenWeatherMap API key from the cinnamon-spices-applets has been reused to enable out-of-the-box operation.
Dependencies
App will crash until the dconf schema is updated.
