How to install spices? [SOLVED]
Can you point me to some info on how to install spices? I am interested in the weather. I downloaded weather@mockturtl (zip file) and I extracted it. What's the next step?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: How to install spices?
Is that a desklet? The Cinnamon spices page says:
To install a desklet: Download it and decompress it in ~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets.
You can also download and install desklets straight from within Cinnamon, using the "Desklets" configuration tool in the "System Settings".

Thanks for the tip. Yes it is a desklet. Installed via Sys Settings and it says it is installed. How do I launch it? Can not find it in 'apps'.Moem wrote:Is that a desklet? ....

Re: How to install spices?
That's because it's not an app. On the System Settings => Desklets window, go to the tab Manage; it should appear there. Select it, and then click on the plus sign in the bottom bar of the window.wallyUSA wrote:Thanks for the tip. Yes it is a desklet. Installed via Sys Settings and it says it is installed.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Any way to make a shortcut that I can put on my desktop to start 'weather'?That's because it's not an app. On the System Settings => Desklets window, go to the tab Manage; it should appear there. Select it, and then click on the plus sign in the bottom bar of the window.

Re: How to install spices?
As far as I know, if you have placed it on your desktop, it should now autostart at every boot.wallyUSA wrote:Any way to make a shortcut that I can put on my desktop to start 'weather'?

Re: How to install spices?
We have been having problems with Desklets in LMC18.3 so I doubt that it will work That is I doubt you can configure it for your location. I am not able to configure it (the one in the Desklet list) , It seems to be set for England.

Re: How to install spices?
Thanks, after another try I found the Location Setting and entered my zip but no luck. How do I configure the location? Notice the temp in Titusville, Fl ,actual temp is 75F.minitux wrote:I'm on Mint 18.3 and working
It has a transparency slider which I like a lot for the transparent background works great. I put it over the clock desklet.

Re: How to install spices?
Hey, your right. I just tried the window frame desklet that I could not see before and works perfect. I have a Theme I am waiting to sort itself out too and unload and reload it periodically in hopes it will be repaired. It is Numix-Cinnamon-Transparent which currently is not transparent.
I apologize to the OP if I hijacked the thread but hope all this may help.

@minitux
How do I install the applet? I extracted it but no idea how to install and launch.
EDIT - Do not like the desk let, seems inflexible!

OK, I am making progress. Installed and launched.minitux wrote:from system settings clic on Applet
However, it does not seem to be doing anything. Just keeps saying "Loading"?
EDIT: I did some configuring (set location for Atlanta GA).
Picture attached.
