I can confirm that the new build is looking good on my Win8 64-bit system as well...I've had it running for 3 hours and have gotten 3 updates .  Skywire...you must just be that good at programming that you are able to fix things you don't even understand .  At any rate, all's well that ends well.  I'll post an update if this stops working, but it looks to me like you can cross that off your mental future update list.

@dshoup[/b]: If you set up a few different locations and then switch between them using the blue arrows, do the tray icons update properly?

I set up a second location and both the temperature and condition system tray icons change correctly if I change locations, but neither location is automatically updating.  I did notice that things automatically updated a couple of times yesterday...but then it stopped updating later in the day.  It also automatically updated this morning when I resumed from hybrid sleep, but has not updated in the 1h I have had the computer running.

No worries.  And it is a great little program...I love the elegance!

Hey, what do you know, we had a change in weather...small storm passed through.  I can now definitively say the weather condition icon was not updating either as I just did a manual update and saw a cloud icon for the first time in weeks.  However, this did not occur automatically.

No, there's no log.  However, the temperature tray icon is created using a third-party library since AutoHotkey, on its own, only allows for one tray icon.  Even if your weather conditions don't change during the day, the icon should change at night to a "moon" type of icon.

Hmm...going to be hard to do as it is my work computer and I go home well before sunset this time of year (I use Win7 at home).  I tried changing my system clock 12 hours and after 45 minutes (3 update cycles) there was no icon change for the tray condition icon.  However, I suspect sWeather uses the time from the Yahoo data as even manually refreshing the data did not change the icon.  Hovering over the weather status icon did show the old time as the last update (which was about 2 hours old at the time).  Short of working overnight tonight , let me know if there is anything else I can do for debugging.  FYI, I currently am using LED for the tray condition theme.

Couldn't say...the weather conditions over the past week have been a bit like the movie groundhog day...sunny and HOT (repeat again tomorrow).  So I wouldn't expect the other icon to change.  Is there a log or something that can be used to check if updates are occurring without the icon update?

Well, tried switching to the minicat tray theme...no change.  I still have to manual refresh.  I guess we may have to chalk this one up to Windows 8.  To answer your questions, I am using a desktop computer.  I do use hybrid sleep over night.  sWeather appears to update in the morning when I first wake things up, but it never updates again after that.  Let me know if you would like any additional information for debugging purposes if/when you get around to looking at Win8 compatibility.  I can live with it for now as I realize much of the world is not moving to Win8 any time soon and you may have more productive ways to spend your time

I just installed sWeather...really nice program!  I am, however, having a problem...the system tray icon does not seem to update automatically.  I have it set to update every 15 minutes, but it does not update even after 4-6 hours.  If I open the program and manually refresh, everything works perfectly.  I just can't seem to figure out how to get it to do this on its own.  FYI, I'm running Windows 8 64-bit, I do not use a proxy server, and I have sWeather 1.4.3 build 5 (Unicode build) "installed" in my documents folder with a single location (in the United States).  Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
