Not necessarily a lot, but mostly graphical stuff.
An explanation: My weather station is running on an eeeBox B202 hacked to work with OS X. It is doing so because I had a spare flat panel and I felt like turning it into a geochron for my office/studio. The *only* thing that computer is doing is serving LWC(now WeatherCat) and EarthDesk. The network also includes a Mac Mini that I use for media server/HTPC, my laptop, my wife's laptop, and the giant studio computer. LWC *used* to run on the Mini until I discovered it was resource-intensive enough that it bogged video playback so I kicked it off to its own machine.
My wife doesn't like that the weather gauge is in a completely different room than where she hangs out, and the LWCRemote (now WeatherCatClient) are far too ugly and detailed for regular use. Really, it appears to be mostly for monitoring the computer from a different computer, which I do via VNC anyway.
HOWEVER: *IF* I could pare back the gauges (radio buttons in preferences) OR broadcast the "Floating graphic" on the network, I'd be most of the way there. In a perfect world, I'd love to have the "floating graphic" as something that's always on top (until interrupted by Plex or similar focus-stealing process), with as many gages as I choose to give it - either rotating through them one at a time or stacking them with no/transparent background, that would be *great.*
Right now I have to do a hacked loop through Weather Underground - upload to Wunderground, set up the Wunderground Widget, put Dashboard in beta mode, leave the Wunderground widget up. And, since it's a widget, I can't make it hide for Netflix, etc. If I could put this on my wife's desktop for her to see whenever she hits F11 on her laptop, that would be a victory.
It's great software. I really like it. I'm hoping the UI can get this (what I hope to be) tiny tweak and then it'll integrate into my house *perfectly.*
Thanks!
Seth
