I notice a lot of skins have the ability to show the weather, mainly temp and a little image along with the date and time in the upper right hand corner.
I seem to always try other skins out but end up always going back to to the OSMC default skin, it works great and it’s simple.
I would just like to see the weather up there along with the date and time. That is all I’m easy to please.
But remember, you are not the only one to please. I think the decision was made early in the development of the OSMC skin, due to its desire to appear clean and a bit minimalist, weather would not be included. It should also be noted, in my recollection, this may be the only request we’ve seen for it ever.
I don’t even use the weather app, besides it installed and configured. I just use Yahoo and type my postal code. I have the tab turned off. I just like having the temp in the corner along with the date and time.
I did some searching before I made this post and was unable to find anything that was a little close to my feature request. I just see that tickbox on most skins and I prefer to use the OSMC skin. That’s all
It’s noted as a request. All requests are valid, but whether I can honor all of them, that’s a different thing tbh. There’s a weather entry in the home menu by default with a widget which should serve this purpose nicely already.
There’s no plan to add more information to the skin’s normal layout atm, sry. @ActionA correctly pointed out that this is because of our minimalistic approach. And as there hasn’t been any request closely asking for the same, I’m not sure thinking of a way to incorporate a weather icon in all views is something on the top of our list right now.
What about just the temp and the indicated C or F? it could just be a same menu under where you check if you want the date to show up or not. I think there are only two options in that section besides customise home menu. I don’t even see the need for an icon whatsoever. It would look cleaner w/o one.
On the other hand, I completely understand where you guys are coming from but I do not think this will take away any of the minimalist nature of the OSMC skin. Small font, I don’t even see the need to add another line to the header.
I guess it’s something to think about it. I appreciate the responses though and I said what I wanted to say thank you both for listening.
I just love those skins where the header is always there and I can always see the temp in the corner but I also love the OSMC skin very much. I do not even have the weather tab enabled. I keep it very simple. Movies, TV Shows, Plex, My OSMC, Settings and Power.
I noticed a lot of skins are not incorporating a current weather icon, just the temp and the indicated region format.
