CurseTheWeather is a python application which displays the weather in a
terminal via a ncurses frontend (ctw). This frontend shows ascii-art weather
-icons along with the current weather conditions and 10 day forecast.
+icons along with the current weather conditions and 5 day forecast.
weatherfeed.py is the python module that grabs the weather data from
weather.com, and it can used by frontends other than ctw.
+** Please note ** CTW does not currently display a full 10 day forecast
+due to changes with weather.com.
** ctw and Transparency, Different Colors **
-If you are interested in changing the colors in ctw, or if you use
-transparency in your terminals and would like this to work with ctw, then
-simply modify initColors() in /usr/bin/ctw. For transparency, simply add:
-
-curses.use_default_colors()
+To modify transparency and color behavior in ctw simply modify
+initColors() in /usr/bin/ctw.
+To remove transparency, simply delete:
+ curses.use_default_colors()
at line 125 (just under "curses.start_color()").
+
Modifying the lines with "curses.init_pair" will allow you to modify the text
colors used.
