/* CalendarWeatherIcons.css
 *
 * If you subscribe to a weather forecast calendar, you might like to
 * see a weather icon on each day's forecast event.  (One source of such
 * calendars is www.wunderground.com [8][9]; each forecast page includes an
 * [ICAL] icon with the weather forecast in iCalendar RFC2445 format.)
 *
 * To show weather icons based on the event titles in these calendars,
 * save this CSS in your profile [1] chrome directory,
 * and import this CSS in your userChrome.css [2] (references at end).
 * 
 * For Sunbird, the userChrome.css path may be something like the following
 *  w2k: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Sunbird\Profiles\NNNNN.default\chrome\userChrome.css
 *  gnu/linux: ~/.mozilla/sunbird/NNNNNN.default/chrome/userChrome.css
 *
 * 1. Save this file in your profile as chrome/CalendarWeatherIcons.css
 * 2. Download all sample images to the chrome/weather-icons/ subdirectory.
 *    (popup menu, "Save Image As...")
 * 3. Add the following to profile file chrome/userChrome.css (create if none):
 *   @import url("CalendarWeatherIcons.css");
 * 4. Restart Sunbird.
 *
 * Now the weather icon should appear on the right side of each weather
 * forecast event.
 *
 * Tested on Sunbird 0.9 with iCalendars from www.wunderground.com.
 *
 * Limitations:
 * - This works for English forecasts where the title includes common weather
 *   summary phrase words [7] such as "Clear", "Overcast", "Rain", "Snow", etc.
 *   It will have to be modified if your forecast uses different wording.
 * - CSS2 can select either on the whole attribute, or on one or more
 *   space-separated words in the attribute, but not substrings, so it may
 *   not work if your language does not use spaces to separate words.  This
 *   code uses words since a forecast title usually contains additional info, 
 *   such as temperatures or words for likelyhood of precipitation. [4]
 * - This displays an icon based on the event title, so the weather icons
 *   may appear in other events that happen to use weather forecast words
 *   in their titles, such as "clear stage".
 *   If this happens to you, consider changing the "CLEAR" line from
 *     label[anonid="event-name"][value~="CLEAR"],
 *   to
 *     .calendar-event-box-container[calendar="weather"]
 *        label[anonid="event-name"][value~="CLEAR"],
 *   where "weather" is the name of your weather calendar.
 *   The calendar name is not available on the event-name label, so the
 *   ancestor .calendar-event-box-container condition must be added.
 * - CSS permits selectors to depend only on a node, its ancestor nodes, or
 *   previous sibling nodes, so the event title text can only be used to
 *   select the style (icon, size, color, etc.) of the leaf title box itself
 *   (it has no visible siblings).  CSS does not permit selectors to depend
 *   on child/descendent nodes, nor on later sibling nodes in the tree, so it
 *   is not possible to change the style of an enclosing event box depending
 *   on a title label box it contains. [5]
 * - Parsing all the event titles for words on months with large numbers of
 *   events may slow down redisplay a little (~10%?); it might also cause
 *   additional garbage collection pauses (unverified).  (Adding the calendar 
 *   condition does not prevent the parse on non-weather events because the
 *   conditions are checked bottom up, from the leaves toward the root, so the
 *   title value condition is checked before the calendar name condition. [6])
