No. Are you saying that because there is no "." on the number keyboard? It's a stupid keyboard, but I suppose they never thought about anyone typing in numbers. The "." is on the primary keyboard, under the "?" But when you go there from the number keyboard it is in shift mode (!) so, no, you can't enter ? in a number field. So you have to press the shift key. Then it locks (!) and you need to press shift

again

. Like I said, stupid keyboard. I now use a different keyboard for that and other reasons, but I do a lot of development work on the device. You will probably be just fine with the stock keyboard. Just keep the "." thing in mind.

Do a manual temperature retrieval again when you have changed the values.

Hmm. Believe it or not you may be the first person to try that. I know it works, but I may have always tried if after using °F, so I may have to revisit the code for those variables. For now, try checking the boxes and then unchecking them while you are fixing the lat and lon. Then do another manual weather retrieval and see if things clear up.

OK, I thought about this while I was on the floor doing my back exercises and staring up at the ceiling. When I first created the app I didn't know that widgets could be portable so I have instructions in the post to "build your own" widget from scratch. I left the temperature scale indicator as a static variable (plain text). I really should have coded a variable so it would pick that up from the Settings, but I didn't. Someday I may revisit that. I hate getting into that app as it is so complex and after awhile (a short while) you just forget what all the code does and it's like wading through Jello to try and change anything without messing up something else.

Not to worry, you just need to edit the "F" and make it a "C". The

numerical value

of the temperature is Celsius. So open up Minimalistic Text and tap on the Weather widget displayed there. Scroll down the settings until you get to "Custom Layout" Then tap on the box indicated in the screenshot below and change the "F" to "C". Hit the status bar "back" button, then the "menu" button, then "OK" at the bottom of the screen. Exit the app and your widget display should be fixed.

Edit: Oh......drat! I see something in the Forecast panel that I never saw before, and I know I would have caught it so it must have crept in with the last update. SIGH. The units °C|cm do not fit in the space allowed so the "m" from cm is on the next line. I guess °C|cm is slightly wider than °F|in. ARGH! I will have to go into the app after all... But for now, everything else is fine, so we just live with it until I can make the fix.

I understand your concern about widgets and power consumption. Most people feel the same way, I think. I'm working on a bunch of system images to be used on unregistered NSTs after June 2024. Testing for the power consumption of the widgets is high on my list so that people can make their own judgments. Actually, I have enough devices around that I can start that now. So I'll test pretty much the configuration you will have with both widgets, without the weather widget, without the greeting widget and without both.

It will take a few weeks as I like to have maybe 7 days go by to see a real power consumption pattern. But I will get started today.

When you get a chance please edit out P.3 in the previous post. It shows my API.
