Rainfall Radar Desktop Gadget

Thomas_S_Hunterson

I built this gadget about a year ago. It is compatible with Windows 7 and Vista (I think). I've been using it personally since and thought someone else might find it useful.

It's very simple, it basically sits on your desktop displays the latest rainfall radar image from http://www.met.ie. It updates every 10 minutes or any time you click it.

I've found it very handy. If you'd like a look at the source code, rename the file to .zip and open the archive.

I had thought about this but didn't implement it at the time (I have a large screen:P). It is something I will certainly consider in a future revision however.

Great work, it's very handy indeed!

Here's a smaller version as long as Thomas_S_Hunterson doesn't mind.
