Celsius and Fahrenheit units are provided in the widget. To adjust this, change the value of unit in authentic.coffee.

Setting the Icon Set

Setting the Snippet

The widget above the phrase can be changed between an icon, the temperature, or both. To adjust this, change the value of showIcon and showTemp in authentic.coffee.

Setting the Refresh Rate

By default, the widget will get new data every 5 minutes. To adjust this, change the value of rate in authentic.coffee. The value should be in milliseconds, so multiply the number of seconds by 1000. Note that forecast.io has a limit on how frequently you can send requests.
