Missing conditions?

[pank]

Hi,
It seems that conditioning is not fully available cf.

http://bugs.openweathermap.org/projects/api/wiki/Weather_Condition_Codes.

For instance there is no weatherline-indicator-for-snow. Also, if one is using a finer weather font such as this one it might be nicer to be able to set use a more precise code than the "main" one.

Thanks,

Oh, fantastic! Thanks in particular for the link to the icon font -- I gave some thought to using something like that during the initial implementation, but couldn't find anything I liked, certainly not anything I liked as much as I do the one you linked.

I also didn't know the OpenWeatherMap API very well at that time, and more or less completely overlooked the condition codes in the API response, hence my code ignoring them more or less entirely and noticing only a few values of the weather type specifier. Now that I know properly what the API makes available, I figure I can write a mapping between numeric IDs and weather type names, then replace the eight individual customize variables for weather type indicators with a big alist mapping from type names to (symbol . string) pairs, and offer a separate option to choose whether to use symbols or strings in the mode line.

Thanks again! I'm not sure when I'll have weatherline-mode updated to take advantage of the new information, since it'll be a fairly sizable rewrite, but feel free to submit a pull request if you beat me to it.
