| WPWeather v. 062 (9/9/2026, Remy Dodin) | Readme/What's new |
My contribution to nice Frank Wochatz WPWeather061 program.
Frank is free to use my work as its own work (having provided this res and exe code as suggestion)
Weather.exe widget style
Weather_PW.exe widget with PM title bar
New : To allow following options, the corresponding ini parm must be set else, change is disabled
Using Weather_PW.exe, moving its position is saved into the ini file
as well, a drop of a new font onto right bottom wind text field will be saved
a backup ini file is created and the original one updated with the news settings
Of course, Weather.exe will use these parameters to position it correctly as well use the setted font
It has a lot of enhancements!
Added following languages FR, IT, ES (existing EN and DE)
Allow Farenheit, mph, inch to overwrite C, km/h, mm
New options :
UNIT= (Temp unit)
HEIGHT= mm or inch
SPEED= kmh or mph
COLOR= Text color
BGCOLOR= background color
GEOLOC= a string including latitude and lontitude values (see following example)
Replace bis by a '-'
Change "Temp:" byh "Tø:" to reduce field length
Changed min by down arrox and max by a up arrow
Added City name (weather station)
Added following facilities:
# to ignore a line, adde '#' at position 1 or add '#' before a comment with position > 5
Parm GEOLOC= can replaces LONGITUDE and LATITUDE parms or overwrite them if last read
Changed ini file (only usable with the exe due to the included '#' as comment line
#LATITUDE=48.8667 # NewYork 40.7128 - Berlin 51.1657 - London 51.5098 - Paris 48.8667

WPWeather - OS/2 Desktop Weather Fetcher
WPWeather is a native Classic REXX script for OS/2, ArcaOS, and eComStation. It fetches weather data via the free Bright Sky API and automatically creates or updates WPS (WorkPlace Shell) program objects on your desktop with the current 3-day forecast.
Requirements
OS/2, ArcaOS, or eComStation with a REXX interpreter.
cURL must be installed and available in the system path.
Installation
Extract all files (the .cmd script, WEATHER.INI, and the ICONS folder) into a directory on your hard drive.
Configuration (WEATHER.INI)
Adjust the WEATHER.INI file using a text editor:
Enter the coordinates of the location you want to receive weather data for. The script defaults to the coordinates for Berlin.
(Tip: You can easily find the coordinates for your location using Google Maps or OpenStreetMap).
Change the language to German (DE) or English (EN).
Enable (1) or disable (0) log files.
Set the iconset you want to use.
iconset=1 (legacy icons. Note this misses hail and
iconset=2 (heaven-blue buttons)
iconset=3 (dark blue buttons, default)
iconset=4 (BeOS style buttons)
You may find the icons in correspondung subdirecties \icons1 to \icons4
You might edit the icons or create your own.
Usage
Execute the WPWEATHER.CMD file (e.g., by double-clicking it or running it from the command line).
The script:
Downloads the weather data via cURL.
Analyzes the data for "Today", "Tomorrow", and "Day after tomorrow".
Generates or updates three WPS objects (<WP_WEATHER1> to <WP_WEATHER3>) directly on your OS/2 desktop, including appropriate weather icons and formatted temperature/rain/wind data.
Automation
For regular updates, simply create a shadow (reference object) of WPWEATHER.CMD in your Startup folder or set up a cron job.
