Most of the user created widgit use _martin_s base which uses weather.com
If they made a change . . fail for us.

Stardock release anywhere,his own accuweather template scripts, objects or widgets, that allow to use?

My thoughts are that Weather.com has made a change. One that is not "broken" but has fixed leeches off their service.
This could mean that any weather widgets using Martin's base code would fail.
Time for someone more skilled to look at what weather.com is doing or what the dx code is doing . . or find another weather data source.

Stardock licenses the feed to accuweather. Weather.com is not licensed but has been free for personal use.
An RSS feed might be the way to go at this point. http://www.weather.com/weather/rss/subscription

Whatever script is running the weather docklet would be perfect.

My mother has used Weatherbug for years,always reliable for her.
I have an older version of a sidebar weather gadget that feeds from Weather dot com.It has radar on it,but they were forced by Weather dot com to remove the radar feature on all future updates. I wonder if they have taken this one step further.

Anybody thought to ask the person who made the July weather gadget if he would release his script?? I would but I don't know him.

It would be nice if somebody could make us a script for accuweather since they don't seem to have a problem. I tried to import a script but there's no import button for DX's script editor.
