hehe, a typical case of 'put three people in a room and you'll get six different opinions' :-)

according to the 'all knowing' wiki, there are a few countries that have a thursday/friday weekend.

You have three options for that (Current, 36hour & Hourly) even with hour-by-hour forecast. Is not enough ?

But using your thoughts, you can already see next weekend with the 10 day forecast. In terms of duplication, the weekend forecast is redundant. That information can be found a bunch of other places. It comes down to how people are likely to use it and what they are likely to expect. And that's hard for any of us to guess for sure much past our own usage. Here's the really funny thing. I basically never look at the weekend forecast myself. Until I had to make these changes I hadn't really thought about how it gets used.

Ronie might just have to leave it be and let the skinners figure it out.

Wow, the new add-on works and looks great!
And finally the Dutch translation is also pretty good. E.g. the translation for 'clear' is actually the word we use for clear skies, not the one we use for 'clear the room'

My compliments on a job well done!!

Thanks for a great job done.

Asking for assistance. I am experiencing a problem with parsing of the weather data when system language is different from English. Namely with Russian selected i see in log file all the weather data is fetched but this strings at the end of the log

09:39:42 T:4104 NOTICE: weather.wunderground - failed to parse weather data
09:39:42 T:4104 NOTICE: weather.wunderground - available locations: 2
09:39:42 T:4104 NOTICE: weather.wunderground - finished

With English selected, data is processed and shown but icons are missing for all the forecasts except default view and current condition Icon. Using AEON NOX git version 3.0.

Guide me please where to dig for the problem, i believe should be my local installation issue?
Thank you in advance
