Yeap damn finals dec.. 7th here.

Cant wait for 2.3. hehe

[Sartoris]

I got finals all next week, I know how much they suck.

Great program. The only bug I see, is that no matter what font color setting and background color setting I use, the font in the tray is always black, and the background is always a hideous greenish-blue.

What OS? It might be that the low temperature display doesn't come out right on win2k and below

[aam]

does the ap show canadian cities/celcius?

[..Vector..]

Wicked app!, just what i;ve been looking for :woot:

It's XP, but for some reason all is working now. Seems like it took a bit for the colors to kick in

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!

[darkmark327]

I appreciate your kind words-- thank you. I appreciate all the support and suggestions from everyone.

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).

[GNRambo]

When is the next build coming out? :unsure:

:)

Great app, but is there also a version for Europe & the rest of the world?

Wenn Sie Wetterinfo von D?sseldorf wollen, m?ssen Sie die Stadt ohne Umlaut buchstabieren. Aber ich bin nicht sicher, ob das f?r jede Stadt passt.

[darkmark327]

Korrigieren Sie, buchstabieren Sie jede Stadt ohne Dekorationen auf Briefen

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 :)

[darkmark327]

Well it's fixed at any rate. Next release soon, finals done Friday.

[war]

HeHe sounds good.

Last final was monday, yesterday. Thank GoD!!

PS: Good luck on your finals!!

[Version3]

This program works great. Thanks heaps

[darkmark327]

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)

[#47]

Excellent work! (Y)

[darkmark327]

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

[darkmark327]

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.

oh thanks dude for the app and happy new year too (Y)

Great program! If you want to expand in the future, using local weather sources for other countries, that'd be great.

Here's some Australian links:

Australian Gov't Beaurau of Meterology

Weatherzone

[darkmark327]

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.
