This program never ceases to amaze me. I wish other programs were as lean and functional as this. You really put some of those big name software producers to shame.

It should serve me even better whenever the Almighty decides to dump some snow on us. Hopefully He does not wait too long - I would sure appreciate a white Christmas - it is Iowa for crying out loud. We should already have a few inches.

Anyway, thanks for your hard work. Hopefully you can get a lot done before finals. And as I stated before, if you need any help with testing, or whatever else it may be, let me know.

THANKS!

I love this app but I have a problem when I send to tray then try to bring it back it wont show sometimes I have to kill it and restart it ot show. Same way when I minimize it and try to restore , it shows then vanishes. Anyone else have this problem. By the way I have had this problem with the last 3 builds.

I have this problem but I have the old version not the (newer) beta... :unsure:

And if it helps any I am running Windows XP SP 2 final build (obviously).

BTW does that retry button ever go away (i.e. when the images would be done downloading even though they're hidden)? Just so I know for fixing it (even though it is a quick and simple fix.

Sorry for the long reply,

Yes the button goes away after the maps are downloaded and animated :)

I've decided to release what's done so far through automatic updates, it fixes too many things to be stagnated this long. There are a few small issues with it (the biggest one being the status messages if it can't download data for your location for whatever reason)

Thanks, I appreciate that. The next version is progressing nicely, that will clear up hopefully most of the issues with the admittedly hastily release 2.2.9.6; this will enable timed muting (e.g. mute from 10 pm to 8 am) as well as fix a few niggling problems such as

- docking and "jumping" between edges for certain resolutions / font sizes

- program jumping around while resizing in some cases

- better handling of weather alerts with two tray icons

- better handling of invalid locations/lack of internet connection

- problem with autoupdates

- now that i have a unified settings pane, which includes the updates, i tried to give the user the option to save or discard their other settings before applying the update (which will require the program to be closed); unfortunately, i put that option in the wrong order; i.e. i put the message box that asks if you want to save after the part that tries to close the program. Long story short is, decide whether you want to save your settings in about 2 seconds, before the next part of the update process kicks in.

This version will most likely be 2.2.9.7

Then I get back to work on enriching the data, i.e. detailed forecasts (including hour-by-hour) and a ''week at a glance'' forecast view as suggested by someone

  • 2 weeks later...

OK, I have a test version that everyone can try out, it is 2.2.9.7 which, if all goes well, will become the official 2.3 release.

Get it here! And let me know of any problems!

Fixed:

- Fixed problem with docking resulting in program "jumping" back and forth for certain resolutions

- Better handling of NWS alerts with two tray icons

- Status messages now work for problems such as no location or no internet connection

- Enabled mute always and based on time range (better displayed on the menus)

- Enabled option for fadeout on exit and window resize animations

- Other slight fixes

Have a happy and healthy new year everyone.

That would require essentially a complete redesign of the program, particularly with sites that don't have a simple XML-based feed (which is really the only reason I use the weather channel). I checked and the weather channel (i.e. my program) does have weather data for melbourne, australia. TWC does have stations throughout most of the world.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
