James Walker (ID: 000000aac4337e88) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/29/2016 No longer appears to be powered by Forecast.io but instead by some "Dark Sky" company. Kind of a shame since I really liked this.

icon

Marat (ID: 0000008dc93c0a95) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/15/2016 Was working great until recently, but now often the popup doesn't work when clicked. Also, as others have mentioned should show current temp by default, not hours till sunset.

David Bekel (ID: 000000c562b722c9) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/30/2015 something isn't working, it just shows hours until sunset.... Useless for now.

Sudhanshu Gupta (ID: 00000024da98cbb7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2015 Wonderful, this is what I was looking for.

(ID: ) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/18/2014 I thought I had seen that the icon was changed to show the temperature but it's still the hours until sunset. One of the most useless extensions I've ever seen. I have to wonder why it's even being offered.
