Special characters
Hi,
no idea if it works: have you tried to use HTML- escape codes for the special scandinavian characters for the city names ?
This solved some issues in the ExternalDisplay plugin. Perhaps it works here also. You can get the list of these codes here: http://www.bbsinc.com/symbol.html

No, I haven't tried to use escape codes, since that still wouldn't solve the main issue, displaying a custom location name on the view itself. Changing the XML as discussed above only affects the city selection dialog.
Btw, the way the "Images" and "4 Day Forecast" buttons work seems to be opposites. I.e. "Images" button's text indicates what will be displayed if it is clicked, but "4 Day Forecast" indicates what is currently displayed. So it is essentially a "View:..." button, right? Changing the text to "View: 4 Day" (the word "forecast" has no information value since we know we checking the weather), "View: Monday" etc would make more sense and mimic the Images part of the plugin. As well as most other views in MP.
Also, I would assume that the Refresh button isn't used too often, it could be moved down to the bottom of the list. Actually, with some proper automatic background refresh logic, the button could be removed altogether. Much better.
The date and time text at the top seems to add little value in its current form. How about something like <NAMEOFDAY> + <DATE>? Actually, currently when I cycle through the days, selecting "4 Day Forecast" displays a different time than the single days, but the date is the same?!? Weird.
Having support for other weather providers belongs in the wishlist department, but does anyone know if this has been planned?
