To
display a clock with news headlines and a bit of weather:
- This has been tested on Windows but should also work on Linux and Apple.
It's written for Python 3 and for a screen resolution of 1680 x 1050 (widescreen)
- Download and install Python and
Pygame.
- Download the Python file here. And the logo image file here.
(Or use a logo of your choice - better if it's a transparent .png)
- Get your weather location (WOEID) from here and put it in line 127 of the program.
- You may also want to change the display mode (line 155, 156 or 157) the colour scheme, the logo and the source of the News headlines (line 139) to another RSS feed.
