If you mean me, then I blocked the link out of respect for your work,

I don't understand it because your name doesn't appear anywhere. It's @TBG's script, which some people, including me, have mangled, bent and straightened.

I hope you have a good and plausible explanation for this.

I meant the one that has been saved for the last 45 months without @TBG:

Note, to everyone - BunsenLabs is part of the FOSS world. Our packages on GitHub are published under various open source licences, mostly GNU 2 or 3. That means anyone is free to copy the code and use it however they want, as long as they publish it with the same conditions. Any copyright declarations must be preserved, so previous authors of work continue to be credited. This means it's a good idea to put (dated) copyright headers in any piece of work that you consider important enough.

As for content published without any licence or copyright declaration, there may be some automatic copyright, but I don't think there's any obligation on the author to make content available, or not.

On this forum, we consider technical content published here to belong to the community as a whole (as is written in the rules, under "Deleting your data"). That said, of course users are able to edit their posts as they want, so we are mostly talking about a moral obligation to keep the content here useful.

When I followed those 471 locations, I noticed that the wt-14 icon appeared somewhere as "Passing clouds" (night) and somewhere only as "Fog".
I'm sure there are many similar cases....

I already mentioned the wt-14 issue a few posts back. I have no choice but to use an icon that can represent interchangeably mist/fog as well as (if you close one eye) light clouds.

So far I have not spotted wt-32 (3 blue wavy lines - water??) in the webpage with the 471 locations. That is now the only icon left that I'm not sure about.

[ADDED]
OK, I did a web search for areas experiencing floods right now, the news said Hat Yai in Thailand, and wt-32 was used to indicate flash floods in that region.

Solved.

I will reuse the original wt32 icon for this.

Awesome.

I don't mean the floods, but the way you found a solution.

@asqwerth

Try this in tad-conky (High and Low part):

${goto 100}${color ff8080}High and Low:${color}  ${execpi 90 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/temperatures}  °C
${execpi 90 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | sed 's/[^ ]* *//' | sed 's/\.*$//' | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'}

Just set 'N=24' to get proper spacing at the beginning.

This is what it looks like in the terminal:

$ sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | sed 's/[^ ]* *//' | sed 's/\.*$//' | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'
                        Sprinkles late.
                        Overcast.

EDIT
My tad-conky is now much more compact.

The cut or "fmt -w XX" commands are no longer needed.
Everything is done in one line of code, the output is the same as on the website and the result is perfect alignment.

I think you were a little hasty with your assumption. That's why I wrote: 'the accuweather script I use and the conkyrc'.

I activated the link again. You are welcome to take a look at the script.

Hello

I don't understand, for me in my AccuWeather Conky and script, Marens is clearly mentioned.

${execi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/marens_hourly/time}\

in the script

#### Marens Hourly

#Time
        cat $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/hourly | grep -A 1 'class="date"' | grep 'div' | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed -r 's/.{5}//' | sed -r 's/.{6}$//' > $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/marens_hourly/time

@unklar

This is my first accuweather script fix and of course I found it in "your" script:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 38#p125938

I won't waste time looking for more.
I also know why your Sun/Moon part doesn't work.

But the script is "yours" and my name is not mentioned anywhere and let it stay that way.

More fun details about my post here:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 05#p147305

Just a few posts before my first fix to the accuweather script, some people reported that the script was not working.
Who are these people?
@weatherman, @morfik and @UNKLAR.

@morfik's screenshot from that time shows that the current conditions section is unusable.

@unklar, you copied/pasted my fix and now (about three years later) you say:

If anyone has a list of people who have worked on saving the accuweather script for the last 45 months (besides @il.harun and me), please post it.
Just one link is enough.

Thanks in advance.

@loutch

I looked at your screenshot here:
https://imgbox.com/oAZLr2Lo

This line (script) at the beginning is unnecessary:

date +%T > $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/actualization

It just wastes resources.

It is much better to use the same command in conky:

${texeci 600 date +%T}

You can now also remove the file ~/Accuweather_conky_script/actualization.

Interesting code. It works on my 2-day weather condition text (with ${goto xx} command removed for that line and N set to 14). However, when I tried both this code and the fmt command on the "now" file for the current weather (I was using | cut ....) , the first word was not displayed.

When you've tested your icons enough and set everything right, post them here:

Just compress the folder tad-icons2 as .tar.xz .....

Meanwhile, for anyone who's interested, here is a link to the Weather Underground icons (with some modifications and additions) renamed to work with the T_A_D script.

https://workupload.com/file/yKC7X3j5J4v

Disclaimer and notes:
1. original icons were included as part of the Weather Underground script by TBG.
2. previously I had modified a few icons so I could use the set with openweathermap conkies. For T_A_D, I modified a few more. The modded icons are pretty rough when magnified as my GIMP skills are limited. However, at the normal size of weather conky icons, they should be passable.
3. I borrowed a few icons from other places. For example, wt-10 and 32 are from the original T_A_D icons

You could replace the icons in the "tad-icons" subdirectory with these icons, but I prefer to rename that sub-directory as "tad-icons-old" and then rename the WU icon subdirectory as "tad-icons". That way I can switch between the 2 icon sets.

Very nice.

I added your icons as tad-icons-WU and modified the TAD script (in 3 places).
The result is excellent.

Yes.
A small code change is required.

Terminal:

$ echo 'Partly sunny. Light rain' | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'
                        Partly sunny.
                        Light rain.

Conky:

${execpi 90 sed -n '4p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/now | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'}

I like to show Saturday and Sunday in red.
This is what it looks like in my tad-conky (day_1):

${if_match "${execi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date | awk '{print $1}'}" == "Sat"}${color ff8080}\
${else}\
${if_match "${execi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date | awk '{print $1}'}" == "Sun"}${color ff8080}\
${else}${color 48bcff}${endif}${endif}\
${execpi 90 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date}${color}
