Comment 32 for bug 703815

Take a look at http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/indicator-weather-is-it-just-me-or/
Seems that a lot of people want a quick forecast in the menu

User Mind Bending submitted an excellent mockup that deserves implementation:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/365419/weather.png

IMHO the display style should be optional.
Here is a proposed list of new options:

1) indicator display mode: icon,label or both
 Currently if the label should be hidden, is set to an empty string. But that causes an extra 3pixels margin to be added between the icon and empty label. I can handle what elements are visible on the client side.
Also scrolling on the indicator should cycle the display mode.

2) current condition fields:
In the preferences dialog we saw a list of available weather info and the user can pick some or all with custom order:
So far the fields available:
 - Humidity
 - Wind
 - Sunset
 - Sunrise
 - Feels like (per Felix's patch)
 - High (from the forecast info)
 - Low (from the forecast info)
 - Forecast condition & icon (from the forecast info)

3) Show forecast in menu.
If its is selected, we should display the forecast for 3 days as presented in the omgubuntu mockup

4) Show multiple locations in a carousel.
If its is selected, the location radiomenuitems should be hidden and a carousel like widget (as the new mockup above) can be used to select the active location.

I guess these will keep everybody happy.

Btw, you can checkout the vala-port branch and test it (I've test it in Maverick so far)
