Weather plugin in LXDE
I love LXDE debian. Everything in debian just works. This is a minor annoyance for me but I would love to figure this out. The weather plugin you can add to your panel has black text when displaying the temperature. I theme my panel dark grey and make sure in the panel settings the font color is white. My date and time display the results of this change since by default its set to black for the panel font color. The text on the weather plugin does not change. In other LXDE distros the weather plugin will display with white text when the font color in the panel settings are turned to white. I hope someone has a fix for this so I can turn my weather plugin back on. Thank you for your time and hope someone can help. Debian 4 Life

Have you tried ?:
How to change the font color in the Weather plugin in LXDE
If you have, then my apology, I do not use LXDE, so I don't know the answer, but it looks like out of all the results, there should be something use full, I am tired and do not have time at the moment to look through the results, and maybe you all ready tried that, but any way, if not it is worth a try.

Re: Weather plugin in LXDE
This was fixed in version 0.8.0...
http://blog.lxde.org/?p=1323
That fix is only available in Debian stretch or sid at the moment...
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=lxpanel
You could try backporting lxpanel for jessie, but I have a feeling it might not go smoothly...

-edit- If I can find some time, I'll try to backport it, or maybe stevepusser would be interested.
I've pretty much given up on weather applets, they all seem to be dead-on accurate one day and giving the forecast for Mars the next.

Re: Weather plugin in LXDE
Still the same in 2017 ... weather plugin in Jessie stable still doesn't work. Looks like yahoo changed the weather codes/values that feeds the plugin resulting in the Jessie stable LXDE plugin no longer working
I've manually fixed that (workaround) by ...
~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel
entered values of :
Using the woeid value taken from this web page
(Tip the lxde panel can be restarted after making the edits using lxpanelctl restart)
For other cities/states naturally you'd have to look up the appropriate values and adjusted accordingly, i.e. change the in that URL to your own city/location.
The weather font colour in the panel stays at black however, no matter what font colour your might set for the panel. I'm using panel transparency, so I just dropped in a light coloured wallpaper
The problem is down to Yahoo that sources the weather forecast having changed their reference codes. Later versions of LXDE panel might have resolved that issue.
