There should be 18 icons, preferably 128x128 minimum. Icons should also respect the naming convention, please check widget's source. ### Examples: #### Custom font, icons ![example1](./example1.png) ```lua weather_curl_widget({ api_key='', coordinates = {45.5017, -73.5673}, time_format_12h = true, units = 'imperial', both_units_widget = true, font_name = 'Carter One', icons = 'VitalyGorbachev', icons_extension = '.svg', show_hourly_forecast = true, show_daily_forecast = true, }), ``` #### Only current weather ![example2](./example2.png) ```lua weather_curl_widget({ api_key='', coordinates = {45.5017, -73.5673}, }), ``` ## Installation 1.
