Accu weather Forecast1.4.4.0

Accu weather Forecast comes in the form of a desktop widget that fetches weather conditions. It acts as a client for AccuWeather.com, but provides a less conventional approach than most weather forecasters and not necessarily in a good way.It comes in two separate forms: an installer, which is suited for Vista and XP users and a gadget file that targets Windows 7 computers. It depends on Flash Player to display the content, but this is the only dependency that you must deploy prior to using it.As opposed to similar applications that provide meteorological reports inside the main UI, this gadget has a built-in location (State College, PA) for which it retrieves weather info with no possibility to change it whatsoever.In order to view forecasts for other locations, it redirects you to a web page on AccuWeather.com, where you can manually search your whereabouts and get a complete overview of meteorological conditions for the current day or days ahead.The widget lacks possibilities to change the unit temperature and any other customizations for that matter; however, you will be able to manage more parameters from AccuWeather’s website.Another downside is the constant presence of advertisements inside the main window of the widget, despite the fact that there are options to close them.Attached to the widget is a field dedicated to web searches, where you can enter keywords and retrieve Google search results in your default browser.The above sum up the possibilities that Accu weather Forecast brings to the table. Users are supposed to perform weather searches themselves, which is an inacceptable approach for an independent application.
