Get the latitude, longitude, and weather of the current location from OpenWeatherMap and set the current sky color in the status bar.
- Set the current sky color in the status bar.
- The color is whitened depending on the degree of cloudiness.
This extension is inspired by zk-phi/sky-color-clock: Emacs clock widget.
There are also the following projects based on the same concept:
- for Vim: mopp/sky-color-clock.vim
- Desktop app: opengl-8080/little-sky
- Register with OpenWeatherMap and get an API key.
- Set API key, Country code, and zip code in user settings.
At startup, Geocoding API is used to
obtain latitude and longitude.
Then, every 30 minutes, Current weather data API is used to
obtain the time of the Sunrise/Sunset and cloud degree.
Every 5 minutes, update the color of the status bar based on the current time.
To update colors, this extension rewrites workbench.colorCustomizations in User settings.json.
The implementation for the color change is based on
johnpapa/vscode-peacock.
