Oh, and apologies for the late reply, I was away and not checking my email. - Aug 13 2020

It's last Monday. If data was older than 1 week, you'd see a full date. What station are you trying to get new data for? It's almost certainly an issue with that particular station. As for Fahrenheit, yes, but unfortunately the new version is taking longer than expected, I'm running into some issues with qml, which is an absolute nightmare and also trying to make the new version more aesthetically pleasing (or symmetrical). But I should definitely have it ready by this weekend. - Aug 13 2020

Oh no... I'm sorry! I got bogged down when I was tinkering with font scaling, filed it away and never got around to finishing it. The problem is the Waqi API that I get the data from reports all temperatures in Celsius, even for the US, which is an odd oversight. I'm working on a major upgrade now and I should have it done very shortly. - Aug 02 2020

Yeah, but I've been fixing a few other things. I hope I'll be able to release the new version soon (in a few days), but I've been a bit busy lately. - Sep 05 2019

Oh, nevermind, now I see it - you mean it happens on updating. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll fix it. - Dec 30 2018

Oh, after you do this. You need to restart the plasmashell or reboot -
killall plasmashell
kstart5 plasmashell
And then put a new widget on the desktop/in the tray. - Dec 29 2018

Your issue is tricky - the station does indeed exist in the WAQI Api (and I should say there can also be discrepancies between their website and the API - which the widget uses). However their search function doesn't return it. I could implement searching by id in addition to keyword - that said the ids are difficult to dig out of the source code if something is broken anyway - so I'm not sure if that would be so helpful anyway.

Meanwhile you can try this workaround:
Open /home/$USER/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.waqiwidget)/contents/config/main.xml.
Find an entry called "Config Array". On the list, after "stationId", the next entry is "324". Change that to "10786" (without the double quotes).
If you want to change the name that shows in the config menu (other than that it will display properly), change the second entry, too - just be careful - use semicolons instead of commas (they will get converted). Every entry must be separated by commas. - Dec 29 2018

You can do this! Perhaps I should have put that in the description... Simply click on a given parameter in the expandable version. The elements will get resorted and the compact/tray rep will switch to it. - Dec 29 2018

I could probably make 2 versions as well. - Dec 28 2018

Sorry, it looks like at the moment the Widget is not compatible with anything below the Bionic Beaver (18.04). I have an update coming in a few days - I'll see if I can get it down to 16.04 (might not be possible), but I can certainly reduce dependencies to the Zesty Zapus (17.04). Thanks for reporting this! - Dec 28 2018

What distro are you on (+version)? - Dec 19 2018

My mistake - I thought the GUI scaled with resolution, but it turns out it didn't at all. Checking that slipped my mind.
Version 1.1 makes the widget resolution dependent and fixes some scaling problems. - Nov 19 2018
