Created attachment 187556 [details] Weird icon of KWeather widget in tray and some zeros SUMMARY Missing icon of KWeather widget in tray and weird zeros under icon. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install/Update kweather to 25.12.0-1 on Arch Linux. 2. Log off from current user session or reboot OS. OBSERVED RESULT (Check screenshots in attachments) EXPECTED RESULT Good icon for KWeather and no weird zeros under icon. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS GNU/Linux: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can confirm I am also getting strange bugs with KWeather since 25.12.0-1. I also run Arch Linux and have the following issues: Icon appears as a rectangle instead of the normal weather icons. The widget flyout and hover says "KWeather_1x4". Also in the flyout it says "no location found on the system. please add some in kweather." Accessing the KWeather settings only gives me the option to set a keybind and see the about page. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS: GNU/Linux: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4-1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0-1 Qt Version: 6.10.1-1

I tried changing the kweather configs, and this did not change the icon for me. I also don't see a way to remove the broken widget as it's only showing up in my systray.

Thanks! Doesn't solve the issue of course, but at least it removes the broken icon from the tray.
To me it "feels" like a bug that this particular widget is even part of the systray in the first place it seems like it's primarily intended as a desktop display/full fledged widget, there already exists a properly working plasma weather applet in kdeplasma-addons and thus part of plasma itself.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kweather/-/merge_requests/160
This plasmoid shouldn't have been showing up automatically in the system tray, this only became an issue now when https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kweather/-/merge_requests/144 ported the plasmoid to Plasma 6's API.
