<p>Small patch turned into a completely new plugin. The weather forecast is based on http://www.worldweatheronline.com/ API (JSON).<br />
   The plugin is much more light then its ancestor. It has more features and most importantly it works!</p>
<h3>The install</h3>
<ol>
<li>You can install the plugin using the auto-install tool from the WordPress back-end.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
<li>You should now see the widget show up under ‘widgets’ menu. Drop that widget into a sidebar.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How are the day name localized?</h3>
<p>The localization is treated by the internal WordPress logic. What language you have that language you get.</p>
<h4>Why did you make another Weather widget?</h4>
<p>Well, we (http://prahounakole.cz) were using the ICIT Weather widget for a while and when it stopped to work I went ahead and “fix” it.</p>
<h4>Can I use the bundled images for free?</h4>
<p>Sure!</p>
<h4>Even on commercial project?</h4>
<p>Sure!</p>
<h4>What if I want to use my own icons?</h4>
<p>It’s easy, make your own and put them images in the sub-folder with your custom name to the images folder in this plugin directory.<br />
 Refresh the widget admin screen. You’ll find your pack in the “Image set” Weather widget menu.<br />
 (good source of icons is:http://www.iconarchive.com/ or http://www.deviantart.com/)</p>
<p>Check how the bundled images how they are done, and follow this naming structure:<br />
 WORLD WEATHER possible weather cases (image names are 395.png and it thumbnail 395-thumb.png)</p>
<h4>and what about the weather informations?</h4>
<p>If you want to use this widget you have to first get the API from (http://www.worldweatheronline.com/register.aspx)..don’t wary it’s free, just follow the WWO Policy (http://www.worldweatheronline.com/free-weather-feed.aspx?menu=usage).</p>
