I was able to set the time zone. But the weather data is still "wrong" how can i set it up?

If you are comfortable editing text files you can change it in /usr/bin/js/yahooWeather.js

For those who want the display to show fahrenheit instead of celsius, edit "/usr/bin/js/weather.js"

Replace the lines:

 // TODO: implement fahrenheit handling
     cardObj.elements.push(generateImageElement(
                              elementId.weatherUnitIndicator, 
                              generateImgPath(imgRootPath, weatherImg['celsius']), 
                              194, 22)
                           );

With:

cardObj.elements.push(generateTextElement(
                         elementId.weatherUnitIndicator,
                         '\u00B0F',
                         30,
                         194, 22, 'right')
                     );

Note: There doesn't appear to be a pre-generated fahrenheit image. Not sure why they needed to use images in the first place, as the text version is pretty much indistinguishable from the image version.

I just changed 'celsius' to 'fahrenheit' and it seemed to work in that code sample.

Interesting -- I got a placeholder "NO SUCH IMAGE" when I tried that.

I was just blindly copying it from the declaration around line 24

Hi all

Hi, in trying to change my yahooweather. js to Celsius and metric, I broke my code. Can someone please tell me the original code? Unfortunately, I deleted the file with the backup. Thanks!
