If you want to do any formatting it should probably happen in this code section. Note, I only recommend you to try to edit the code if you are a developer, if you don't know any development the risk of messing something up is too big. If you make a generic change that works, I can consider including it in future versions of the distribution. Another, much easier alternative, might be to change the code in the Weather applet so it expose the value you want to show. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68269 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
