It is possible to have several /home/dsl/.wmweather+/weather.cfg files, and
use this line in your fluxbox menu:
---
[exec] (Weather Doc App) {/usr/bin/wmweather+ -c /home/dsl/.wmweather+/weather.cfg}
---
For each one, make a weather.cfg file, as shown in the above example, and
name them "weather_1.cfg", "weather_2.cfg", etc.
Make a menu line for each one, for each City or State you are going to want a wmweather doc app for.
So, instead of "Weather Doc App", use "Memphis Weather", or "Dallas Weather".

The trick is getting the map set up right.
The forum at http://dockapps.org/file.php/id/112
has a lot of interesting posts about that, but be sure and
open an rxvt and:
wmweather+ -help
to get all the items you can use.

I tried to use a html url, but the app wants a map's url, so my weather
maps page is not to be used. Problem I have had with the weather map people over the years is that they don't like links to their maps per se, they want you to look at the full page, with all the advertisements. So,
Intellicast maps are hard to do, if not impossible. Experiment with some of mine on my weather maps page, and see you can get any of them to work for you in this app.

If you use a larger map, you get less map in your cropped window..
It's 56 x 56 .. so the 'smaller' map you use, the more 'map' you get in the area.

I wonder if you can point it to a radar site, like CH 13 KTRK Super Doppler Radar.?
Maybe update it every 2-3 min instead of the default 15..

And does having the dockapps run along the BOTTOM of your screen ,
rather than the side, behave any differently?
At least you get more room going across the long side !

I want to check/understand what wmweather+ is telling me...

Can anyone give me a clue

This is my config-file:
station KCLL
location 52N 5E
radar-uri http://www.knmi.nl/webcam/images/ispy.jpg
radar-crop 115x120+100x100
radar-cross 26x20

(52N 5E = Netherlands)

Is the uri updated? (by wmweather itself or by a serverpush?)
What do all the symbols mean in the docked wmweather+? (0524L? 0924Z? 26 84? 5 3 ? P:0.999 ? Hi 29? WC 26? Todat 14 L?

Yes, I notice that one must have a small map to begin with. I'm also thinking about a menu line to kill wmweather+, so I don't get more than one. I can re-click on the menu item to put one up there. If you repeatedly click on the menu item for wmweather+ you get one more each time, and can have one for each screen, current, forecast, map.

Also, I find that going to 640x480 during testing saves eyesight.The app is
bigger, and you can actually read it.

I tried to get the - viewer switch to work, with dillo, rxvt, but I can't get the output to show up in dillo. Sure would be nice, then we could all read the data being displayed.
