Hello geordiejohn.

let's set your temperature on the top bar.

click on the time/date = Locations =EDIT = There you have to configure your place.

hello the image you are showing is what i used to get on 2.9 and i was able to put in my location,but on 3.0 all i see is time and date and clock,it is not the same set up as before,i have put my location as london for time and date but there is no weather part ?
thank you.

[Admin-Amir]

right-click on the clock, click on Preferences, and then go to location.
Type in the first few letters of the city/town you're in,
or the closest one that might be known, and you should get a list of places starting with the letters you typed in.
Pick where you're at and then click on Add. Then click on the Weather tab to adjust things to your liking.
hope that will solve it for you.

one more option for you:
gnome-shell-extensions-weather (0.1-0+20111123~webupd8~oneiric4) oneiric; urgency=medium

https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+arc ... er=oneiric

you can get the package and install it on your machine.

[Admin-Amir]

(Since it is now a [SOLVED] thread.)

There is also a weather applet for the top bar that you can add if you are only concerned with having a temperature display and not with having that display stuck to the clock. It also provides a forecast for the next few days, current conditions, and a stock weather map (which can easily be fixed so that instead of that one you have a much more useful animated weather map... the exact way to do that escapes me AtM, but I believe there is a thread here about it).

One question I have about the time applet: In past versions of Ultimate Edition, when I set it to display the time (with seconds), day of the week, and date it would do so with the time above the date informaton. It looked nice, was useful, and didn't take up a lot of room for no reason. When I set it up to display that information now it places it side by side - taking up unnecessary space and looking silly in the process - instead of in a neat compact form like it used to. I see no option to fix this one. I thought it might be that my top bar is set too small (I double the stock 24 size to 48 and select auto-hide) so I increased it but that did not help even when set at an extreme 100. How do I fix this one, please?

EDIT: Here is how to get the animated weather map loop in weather applet if you live in the US. The same should work for other locations throughout the world, but you will need to find the animated graphic of course:
This will add the looping radar image from NOAA to the GNOME Panel weather applet. It works for US locations, but may not for international locations.

Navigate to http://www.noaa.gov and enter in your zip code.
Go to the bottom of the page and select the left "Radar and Satellite Images".
At the top of this page, select the link "Go to : Standard Version".
Then, click once on the radar map to get it looping.
Right click on the map and select "Copy image location".
Open up the preferences for the weather applet on the GNOME panel.
Select the "Enable radar map" check box, and then the "Use custom ..." check box below it.
Paste the image location from the NOAA website into the "Address:" text box.
Click "Close".
Click once on the weather applet. Select the "Radar Map" tab, and you should see the radar loop.

The above is from http://hints.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Ra ... her_Applet but I've seen it in other places and do not know the original source (thanks to you, nameless benefactor!). Tested and working in Ultimate Edition 3.0.
