Description:

A widget that displays weather information for Norwegian users. Users can choose a location from a great number of available places in Norway. Weather data are provided by Meterologisk Institutt (via Aftenposten). The widget is in Norwegian only.

The iconset that is being used in the widget is based on the Samurize iconset for Liquid weather ++.

As of now (March 3, 2006), further development of this weather widget are discontinued. It can still be downloaded via the link on top of this page.

Jump in joy everyone, the widget has been updated afterall! I have now released a beta of a new release with a new source for the weather data. More details in the changelog.
