# Authentic Weather

The most honest weather app, on your desktop

![widget 1](http://puu.sh/gd602/667b2a8758.png)

![widget 4](http://puu.sh/gd63H/50ef4e972b.png)

## Installation

1. Download [Übersicht](http://tracesof.net/uebersicht/)

2. Copy `authentic.widget` to your widgets folder.

3. Add your [forecast.io api key](https://developer.forecast.io) to `authentic.coffee`.

## Advanced

### Setting the Units

Celsius and Fahrenheit units are provided in the widget. To adjust this, change the value of `unit` in `authentic.coffee`.

### Setting the Icon Set

Three icon sets are provided with the widget: white, black, and blue. To adjust this, change the value of `icon` in `authentic.coffee`.

### Setting the Snippet

The widget above the phrase can be changed between an icon, the temperature, or both. To adjust this, change the value of `showIcon` and `showTemp` in `authentic.coffee`.

### Setting the Refresh Rate

By default, the widget will get new data every 5 minutes. To adjust this, change the value of `rate` in `authentic.coffee`. The value should be in milliseconds, so multiply the number of seconds by 1000. Note that forecast.io has a limit on how frequently you can send requests.

## Changelog

### 03/17/15

- Now requires Ubersicht v0.5 or higher

- Uses new geolocation API instead of manual lat/lon coordinates
