The changes are fine, it's a 1:1 exact replication from the C++ code to QML/Javascript. Since Plasma isn't planning on changing the UX/UI guidelines, I'll continue to help with this new QML ported one. It will mean I will diverge from the QML ported applet and turn this into a full-fledged QML application (media center like) with more information and animations and a ticker. This will resemble what you might see on Weather channel/The Weather Network local forecast updates I designed the backend API especially for the other rich weather data, like sunrise/sunset, and would show animation of sunrise/sunset w/ QML with nice 'page' transitions for the different weather information. A lot of coding to do once Luis is done converting applet to QML.
