The main problem is that the user can end up with no weather showing in the system tray, but with no indication of why. I was saying above that you should be able to set a location to be your home location without having to change your computer's timezone to match. (i.e., don't make it depend on tzdata at all.)
Alternatively, an even simpler change would be to take the "Set" button that appears in the pull-down menu (the one that sets that to be your home location and changes the timezone) and put it in Preferences -> Locations too, together with the Home icon. That way it becomes much clearer why there's no weather in the system tray. (I've attached a mock-up of this.) Deeta and others in a similar situation could still use the stand-alone Weather Report applet, which doesn't require your timezone to match. The tooltip for the "Set" button should also be changed to "Set this as my home location". Currently it is "Set as current timezone for this computer", which is missing part of the picture. ** Attachment added: "Mock-up showing a UI change that would make things clearer" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14703292/Weather%20TimeZone%20Mock-up.png -- weather not shown in world-clock-applet when computer timezone differs from home location timezone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
