Major Changes to weather widget #10

cshariq · 2023-06-30T03:40:29Z

I have done some major changes to the weather widget to enhance it. These are the following changes:

Using weather.com api to avoid Unknown Information error
Uses bing maps api to get users location for more accurate weather and location
Adds a new option to adjust update frequency
Can now display neighbourhood, city or address thanks to bing maps api
You can now see 10 day forecast by swiping on the widget
You can open the weather app on mac os 13 and over by tapping the weather widget
New icons and options to switch between Illustrated, default, outlined and filled icons
There's now an icon only mode

When looking at the files changed section you can filter .png and .json files as they're all the new icons/assets and don't require any checking.

Thank you for you hard work!
I'll try to review this asap :)

Just a quick tip for the future, you should avoid putting all changes into a single commit. Next time you could try split changes across multiple commits, with meaningful commit message (see other commits for message structure). This would make the review process much easier! :)

Ok thanks for the feedback, i've just started using GitHub, in fact this is my 2nd pull request. I'll try to keep your tips in mind for future commits.
