Cool Vista Gadgets: Vista Weather Gadgets

21 July 2008 No Comment

Well I’m sure plenty of your already use some of those gadgets, they are just awesome.
It’s great if you don’t have to watch the weather tv channel in order to know how the weather will be, thanks to Vista sidebar. There are quite a lot of different weather gadgets available, that’s why I thought I’d write a little review.

 

First of all I’m going to review the Weather Gadget by CobbNZ.COM…

 

Windows Vista Gadget for Weather
+ Open Source
+ Uses data from http://www.weather-display.com/
+ Background changes accordingly to the current weather
+ Advanced Information (Rainfall, Barometic Pressure, Humidity, Graphs, etc)
+ Shows a small compass displaying the wind direction and speed, very good idea!
+ Shows weather tendences
+ Display data dynamically using a cool transition effect
-Not that many international cities yet (they are working on it)
-No confirmation message if you select a city, might confuse some people
-Some tool tips are only displayed for miliseconds and then disappear
