🦋 WMFORECAST 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to wmforecast — it's a weather dockapp for Window Maker, and it runs on libgweather. yes it's from section 1 of the User Commands manual, yes it's iconic, yes we're getting into it. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

wmforecast — a weather dockapp for Window Maker that uses libgweather. that's the whole vibe. 🌦️

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wmforecast [OPTIONS]

literally just run it with whatever options you want, bestie. that's it. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

so here's the whole menu, no skips, no cuts, we're covering every single one:

  • -v, --version — prints the version number. that's it, that's the whole job. 💀
  • -h, --help — prints this help screen. when you're lost, girl, just ask. 🫶
  • -i, --interval <min> — how many minutes between refreshes (default 60). so like, once an hour unless you're impatient. ⏰
  • -u, --units <c|f> — whether to use Celsius or Fahrenheit (default f). pick your fighter. 🌡️
  • -b, --background <color> — set background color. 🎨
  • -t, --text <color> — set text color. matching set, obvi. ✨
  • -p, --latitude <coord> — set latitude. 📍
  • -l, --longitude <coord> — set longitude. 📍
  • -I, --icondir <dir> — set icon directory (default /usr/local/share/wmforecast). 🖼️
  • -n, --no-geoclue — disable geoclue. no geoclue, no problem. 🚫
  • -w, --windowed — run in windowed mode. for when you want it to be a whole window and not just a lil dockapp. 🪟
  • -d, --days — number of days to show in forecast (default 7). a whole week of vibes. 🌈

📝 NOTES 📝

  • Double click the icon at any time to refresh data. tap tap, bestie. 👆👆
  • Right click the icon to edit your preferences in a GUI. no terminal needed, we love convenience. 💅
  • Preferences may be manually configured in WMAKER_USER_ROOT/Defaults/wmforecast (usually ~/GNUstep/Defaults/wmforecast). This file is in proplist format, e.g.,
{
  interval = 60;
  units = f;
  background = "black";
  text = "light sea green";
  latitude = 40.7128;
  longitude = "-74.0060";
  icondir = "/usr/local/share/wmforecast";
}
ngl, hand-editing a proplist is giving main character energy. copy that block exactly and you'll be fine. 🧚
