I was browsing around and came across a screenshot that had a pretty sweet weather screenlet/widget... but i can't find out what it is called or where i can get it. I even sifted through every screenlet on Gnome-look!

I'd love to know what it is and where i can get it. The blurb with the screenshot just says "compiz with widescreen weather and custom icons" - at first i assumed i just assumed it was a conky script.. but it doesn't seem so..

Looks like a cairo-dock feature but it could be some other type of applet.

Google cairo-dock I think you will be happy with that.

Also looks like it could be conky with the weather script.

Edit -> After looking more closely at the pic I don't think it could be conky anymore.

Thanks for your replies, by a fluke i found out what it was!

it's called 'Wide Weather' and it is, indeed, a screenlet. I managed to grab it off Softpedia (which revealed it's elusive gnome-look link, too grr)

For anyone who's interested you can grab it here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Wide+weather?content=77168

to get it looking like the pic just turn the background opacity down in the preferences dialog.
