#2So the icon shows what the weather was the previous time you ran it?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding it but it seems like an anti-feature to me.

Every time you enter the app the icon reflects the weather. The idea behind the site itself it's to show how to 'hack' the icon to reflect stuff.

#5If you're using Chrome, the Currently extension is a must:

When you open a new tab, it'll show you current time and weather forecast:

Nice typography, choose from 3 color schemes and whatnot.

I prefer More Interestingness* - I have a clock on my machine already, and I rarely need to know the weather every time I load a new tab.

It's not really hacking the icon, even in inverted commas - it's simply using the feature that allows you to specify the icon.

Hm? My window provides an experience rather close to reality, except the 'getting soaked by summer rain' part. I wouldn't call that 'minimal'. Maybe your window is broken. Does it run iOS, Android or WP7?

#10For some reason I'm really bothered by the fact that it's locked to Fahrenheit if you're in the US. At least give me a query parameter or something.
