As ace and I discussed a while back (mid-2020?) the unicode weather icons report an incorrect size in the y direction. Some of the icon's sizes are off by enough that the human eye can see that they are no longer centered in the y direction. During another project of mine, I went through each icon and added a manual scaling factor that, when used along with the font size, can help us properly center the icons. I had difficulty integrating that scaling factor into the weather module because it's a very complicated program and ace wrote it. But, I believe that by editing the y alignment line in the draw_icon fuction to factor in this size correction, all the icons are now correctly centered. That appears to be the case with my 12" screen, although I haven't yet tested it with the 7.5" screen.
Cleaned up code, improved logging,
fixed an issue where forecast time would show UTC time instead of local time, improved layout on dynamic heights. More evenly distributed rows, simplified some code, removed non-required validate function.
switched from string formatting to f-strings
removed some non-required validation
Standardised some logging outputs
better formatting of config inside tests
- Bump pyowm from 2.10.0 to 3.1.1 (latest)
- updated Weather module to support new pyowm version
- removed ad-hoc logic for beaufort scale (supported by pyowm now)
- Added support for location ID and location string (see #137)
A lot of work-in-progress and far from complete.
Lots of improvements related to user-friendliness, fully new web-UI. Better infrastructure....
more coming soon
- Correct setup of logging
- all inkycal-modules inherit from the given template
- Added basic, optional validation
- more code cleanups
- fixed a few minor bugs
inkycal_rss: fix format of saved images
inkycal_weather:
* drop support for wind direction (api does not always provide this data)
* Add borders around each sub-section
