Wmfrog is a weather software that visually displays the weather conditions in a graphical format, allowing users to quickly and easily get an overview of the current weather situation.
If you are looking for a weather application, look no further than wmfrog. This software displays weather conditions in a graphical way that is easy to understand. Although the artwork may not be top-notch, as a non-designer, I'm pretty happy with the results.
Here are some of the key features of wmfrog: it shows cloud cover (clear, few, scattered, broken, overcast), precipitation (drizzle, rain, snow, ice crystals, light/moderate or heavy), and special weather events (blowing wind, freezing, thunderstorms, funnel clouds).
In addition, wmfrog displays humidity percentage, wind speed (average & gust), wind direction, temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit), and station name and weather report time.
To use wmfrog, you will need to have the Xpm library (available on most machines with XFree86 installed) and the GNU wget utility (which allows you to grab content like HTML files and images directly from the web without a graphical browser). It is also necessary to have Perl installed.
Installation is straightforward. First, if you have an existing version of wmfrog running, kill it. Then, follow these steps: unzip wmFrog-x.x.x.tar.gz, extract files with tar -xvf wmFrog-x.x.x.tar, navigate to wmFrog/Src/, run "make clean" and "make", then "make install". Finally, enter "wmfrog -h" to launch the software and set the location of Perl correctly in /usr/lib/wmfrog if your Perl is located somewhere other than /usr/bin/.
The latest release of wmfrog includes a fix for a potential security risk by storing temp data in ~/.wmapps/ instead of /tmp.
Overall, wmfrog is a solid weather application with all the necessary features and easy installation.
