Better late than never. In my travels a few weeks ago I found this hack to add the time of the last update to Apple's Weather widget for Dashboard.

The piece is very verbose and thorough, explaining what each bit of code does rather than brief instructions. Marc tested, G5 PowerMac approved.

So why would you want to do this? The short version is that the Weather widget only updates when you're viewing the dashboard (which saves bandwidth). So rather than glancing at the dashboard and knowing whether or not the widget already updated, the user ends up looking at the widget and wondering if the data is hours old or brand new. This isn't always the case - for example if it says it's sunny out and you're looking at the night sky through the window you know you haven't updated. But having that time there is pretty helpful - at least for me.

I, for one, appreciate this hack.
