Re: Application Indicators improvement suggestion - optional text with icon

 

Yes, I too was hoping for this, as many people were complaining about our
weather indicator not having the temperature accompanying the weather icon.
This was a feature that was included in the gnome clock applet, so therefore
it might be missed when the conversion to the weather indicator is made from
the applet.
