Running Mint 12 KDE. The built-in weather applet has a feature to show the temperature next to the icon in the system tray. It's not doing that. Anyone know how to allow the temperature to display there?

did you set the location? probably right click -> settings (not sure which applet Mint ships)

if it's the weather forecast widget it just seems to show the visual forecast as an icon (a cloud, a sun, a cloudy sun) but if you hover over it the temp pops up

there are other weather widgets available in KDE, some (all?) reside in the tray, I use yawp (yet another weather plasmoid) but there are other inc. cwp customizable weather plasmoid

Thanks for the info. I have set the location, but it didn't seem to help. The one I'm using is indicator-weather. It worked properly under Unity in Ubuntu, and I was hoping it would work the same way here. With the built-in weather indicator, hovering gives me the city name and the current weather icon, but no temp.

no idea if a Unity applet should/will would work properly KDE's

no idea about the built in as it works for me but it is limited compared to yawp and cwp

Will yawp show the temp in the systray?

OK, I have a little more info now. I should have tried this earlier. It seems the reason it doesn't work is because of where I live. If I set it up for a nearby city (larger city), the temp displays. So, the solution is to move. Unfortunately, that's a rather expensive solution, so I'll look for another weather app.

Installed yawp. Works great. Beautiful. Thanks!
