A Weather System Tray that you can build yourself.

Weather_tray-rs

It is what the very descriptive name says, A system tray which shows the weather temperature of the selected place using the Open Weather API.

How to build it yourself and customize it

If you find this program useful to you and in this early development stage you want to compile your own version here's a list of needs:

• Have Rust programming language and its toolchain installed..
• Do a cargo fetch to get the dependencies of this project.

And now you can open the project on the code editor, IDE of your choice and start changing stuff.

Future plans and Next up.

• I plan on making this program more concise, contained on it's own executable, none of this creating a file to load back on the system tray crate. (DONE)
• Another thing I want to do is to make easy to change the city and the API key so everybody has it's own key. (done for the API key, now read from ENV)
• Figure out how to make this whole program assynchronous or a way to create a delay to make another request to the API.
• Add a GUI to set the Environment Variables of the Key and City when It's the first time executing in System. I'm planing to to this simple gui in the FLTK-rs library
