Also, due to a change in the BBC feeds (as far as I know), the search in some weather widgets are broken. This is fixed in 4.4, but since yawp etc. have their own release cycle they're likely already fixed.<br><br>With best regards,<br>

</div>it's called a DataEngine and it already exists for weather.<br>
<br>
the reason why some of the weather applets out there show more data than<br>
others is multiple and includes:<br>
<br>
* some widgets that implement their own weather data fetching are using the<br>
sources of data illegally according to the terms and services of the owners of<br>
that data as published on their websites. obviously we can't be quite so<br>
cavalier upstream<br>
<br>
* some widgets have decided to implement their own data gathering systems<br>
instead of working on the shared one (the weather DataEngine)<br>
<br>
my recommendation to you is to find new sources of data and implement plugins<br>
for them for the weather DataEngine. that's what the fellow who worked on the<br>
<a href="http://wetter.com" target="_blank">wetter.com</a> plugin did, to the benefit of all in 4.4<br>
