Cumulus

Full port Qt/Qml is here!

Simple weather application, powered by Yahoo! Weather & Open Weather Map

Forked from typhoon which was Based on Stormcloud by Jono Cooper.

Features:

• resizable window with weather data adjusting accordingly
• units recalculations on-the-fly without data needed to be re-downloaded
• colors selectors for background and text with alpha channel, knock yourselves up ^^
• tray icon, with aditional data to be added on menu :)
• qt installer, without root installation to allow future updates fast without breaking on upgrade
• possbility for multiple instances with different settings and locations

For multiple instances:

1. make a new shell script with the following content updated for Cumulus installation path
   #!/bin/bash
   <path-to-cumulus-executable> <whatever-you-want>

Example: /home/user/Cumulus/Cumulus NewInstance

2. make the shell script executable
   Is as easy right-click script -> Properties -> Permisions -> check as executable

<Optional>

3. if you want it to start on login

Add the following content to your <home-directory>/.profile file:
if [ -f <path-to-shell-script> ]; then
<path-to-shell-script>
fi
Example:
if [ -f /home/script.sh ]; then
/home/script.sh
fi
This will check if the script exists, so in case you accidentally delete you will not be getting errors on login.
