It won't be a high priority for the coders, no. Some parts of the launcher are fixed in stone effectively, but if Yahoo's new requirements can be worked in somehow, we'll post it up at the main blog - https://DroidBOX.co.uk/blog .

If a weather forecast is important to you then installing a new launcher would enable to to use any of the Weather-based apps from the Play Store (most have widgets included).

It is definitely just the weather forecast that is effected by Yahoo's changes, Android's Location Services function independently of Yahoo.

Thanks, good to know - will you be changing the launcher in a future update (only asking as I am sure the parents can live with it until then - else I will start researching alternate launchers).

If they're likely to be annoyed by the spinning, I'd go with a different launcher from the start. Bit more flexibility with shortcuts, appearance, widgets etc then.
At some point I expect a revised or replacement launcher will be produced, but that is just from my experience of previous years, rather than anything concrete.

If you are looking for an alternative launcher, i find nova from google play very good.
