Fun with the Mac OS X weather widget
SoftwareWhile rearranging my Dashboard widgets on my MacBook Pro this morning, I accidently stumbled upon a feature in the Weather widget which upon later investigation has already been well documented. At least I felt like an electronic archaeologist for a few minutes!
Regular Dashboard widget showing weather in Mawson Lakes, South Australia
If you haven't tried this out already though, give it a shot:
- Fire up your Dashboard, usually with the
F12
key - Drag a new Weather widget from the widget bar onto the Dashboard
- Hold down the
Command/Apple
andAlt/Option
keys
You now have a widget with the weather set to "Nowhere", and by clicking the picture in the top centre you can change the weather conditions. It was cold and raining before in Rubenerd Nowhere, now it's snowing!
