DesktopWeather Beta 2.1 available. DesktopWeather Beta 2 DOES SUPPORT GLOBAL LOCATIONS, read about it on site. Added Celsius support and the "V" Location Codes in Canada. Please READ the webpage and Read Me.txt before asking questions because most of your questions are answered there.

Currently Mirror 1 and Mirror 4 are the only places with Beta 2.1.

pagal, you can send it to the system tray already by double clicking on it and selecting "Send to Tray". If you want to exit from the app while its in the tray right click on the icon and select "Exit". If you want to exit while it is not in the tray, double click on it and select "Exit". I dont think I will add it to the tray all the time because that just takes up space.

Hey Matrox,

Two things.

1) Beta 2.1 doesn't seem to work for me. It did for a little bit, but now it can't get any of the current information. It says ERROR where the city should be and all the data is just shown as the title for each data variables, i.e day 1/date 1 instead of Tonight/Feb 11. Beta 2 still works and updates, but 2.1 doesn't. Might the registry setting from the old beta need to be deleted before the new one will work?

2) It just occured to me it mght be cool if the font could be changed within the program. Just an idea.

Great work!:D

does anyone have DesktopWeather 2.0 that worked?

I would like it.

On 2.1 I am receiveing the ERROR for almost all locations around.

Having to look at weather from Beverly Hills, CA which sucks when you are in IN.

Nobody seems to have 2.0 available for download...

Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to include the direction of the wind with the wind info? Something as simple as a "N", "SW", etc. in front of the speed would be cool.

EDIT: Also, perhaps the barometric trend. Maybe "R" for rising, "F" for falling and "S" for steady. Its a good indiction of what is coming.

DesktopWeather Beta 2.2 is available. Sorry for the trouble with Beta 2.1. It was a stupid mistake on my part. Download from the site.

Equalizer: No problem was found on the automatic update. You might want to change the Refresh Rate in options to a lower time length between updates.

DoubleJ: Great ideas. Look for them in the next release.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
