This is our steampunk contribution to weather reporting for Windows and Macs. The new version WITH SOUND of the Steampunk weather widget for both Windows and Macs is based on the Digistation Yahoo widget written by: Bogdan Irimia, enhanced and steampunked by Dean Beedell and Harry Whitfield with kind permission of Bogdan. The widget has been given a completely new steampunk skin and some new functionality, a twenty-four hour clock has been added to the circumference of the weather gauge. It gets the current weather from internet weather sources, providing temperature, humidity levels, local air pressure, as well as the general weather outlook in hundreds of cities around the world.
Minor changes include: Changed all the calculations of the pointer angles to use simpler calculations saving cpu time; separated the .kon file and .js; caused the pointers to count down on startup; added code to allow widget to be resized; fixed some translations ; changed the default location to London Heathrow; added 'vitality' to the dock icon, animated the temperature gauge switch-over and fixed the resizing issues.
This widget requires Yahoo widgets to operate. Download yahoo widgets from here: http://desktopwidgets.zenfs.com/4.5.2x10a50/ywidgets_sdk_setup.exe
(This downloads the Konfabulator™ SDK and it has all you need to get started without all the other widgets that normally come wrapped up too).

The widget does work on windows XP, Mac os/x and other versions of windows. If it doesn't on yours then think about saying why... and then perhaps we'll be able to get it fixed.

Looks great. Would be better if it worked.
