What phone do you have exactly, an HTC?
Can you identify this widget?

For taking screenshots, what happens if you press the down volume button and the on/off button at the same time - that's how mine takes a screenshot

World Clock & Weather - https://github.com/arminha/worldclockwidget/blob/HEAD/README.rst - you can set the widget background to see-through. Its method to add more locations isn't the simplest, but it can be done: edit an existing city and change long/lat.

Thanks - I shall try that. I'm not bothered about other locations. They don't let me out...

Wouldn't it be easier just to look out of a window ( a real window) if you wanted to know what the weather was doing?

I'm sure I'm being staggeringly dense here, but I've installed it and set it to London, but I cannot find how to make it show on my home screen. Unh?

Request another citing alleviation of techno-stress as the reason you need one.

Ah I see. That's the other problem you have: finding where your phone is keeping widgets. Can you at least post a picture of your whole phone screen, including any buttons, please? The bottom edge was cut off of the last two. Then someone might recognise it. My default screen looks like this
so I click the middle circle thing, then swipe left through the pages of apps until I get to pages of widgets, find the widget I want, long-press and the home screen appears, drag the widget (still pressed) into place and drop it.

Ah OK. The first photo (with HTC on shot) confused me - thought you had a HTC for a little.
Should really work...? https://motorola-global-en-roe.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/96462/p/30,6720,9050

Strangely, it doesn't. Just turns the phone off. (I've tried it three times, just in case I was getting the buttons slightly out of time.) But...:

It works! Hooray! (Also d'oh...but it's the simplest things that foil you, till you know them.)
Many thanks. It's still not quite how I want it, but I think I can do the fine-tuning from here.

You're welcome.
The screenshot on long power press is an option in Settings: System: Power menu for me. Long-pressing power and volume down together takes a screenshot for me, but it takes me a few goes to hit them simultaneously.
