Weather Bar is throwing some error dialogs big time for me today "A JavaScript error occurred in the main process"

looks like Weather Bar is calling an API located at https://api.weatherb...weather/forecast/geo

No, I didn't try out SysTrayIconsManage. From reading the description it could workaround the issue. I just am not motivated to use workarounds such as this. By the way, thank you for trying to resolve the tray icon issue. I just wanted to do my part and report the issue to you. I understand completely about freeware, I'm sure this is a very time-consuming thing to take on

I appreciate the recommendation for SysTrayIconsManage. It is certainly a workaround, but I hope skwire can figure out how to solve the tray issue.

Yes I've seen that registry hack before. That was the 1st thing I tried on my main machine back when I discovered the issue. There's also an option in CCleaner to clear the 'Tray Notifications Cache'. I had no success using these clean options.

I just tried the 'Reset_Notification_Area_Icons_Cache.bat' in my VirtualBox Win7 instance. The condition tray icon still refuses to 'stick' after logout/login.

strange. We had 2 blackouts tonight causing PC to reboot and each time the tray icons came back in the taskbar as they should after reboot.

That is strange. I tried this just now by hard resetting my Virtualbox instance, but the condition icon still does not appear in the taskbar upon startup.

I am running Win 7 64bit and do not have this issue.
Both icons STAY showing in tray for me.

You're saying that between logout/login and reboots, BOTH tray icons are appearing for you?

I have provided a short video showing the behavior of Weather Watcher Live. In the Windows 7 Notification Customize settings, you can see that there are 2 entries , one for temp, one for condition. Upon changing the setting for one, the setting for the other changes to the same setting. With sWeather, they are treated separately. Maybe this can help you. Maybe they are using a trick to register two notification icons with the same attributes somehow (I'm a developer, but not Windows).

Hi Skwire.

I just installed the latest version of sWeather in a fresh virtual Windows 7 machine. The same behavior is exhibited there. The Condition tray icon doesn't retain it's 'Show icon and Notifications' setting. The temperature icon sticks just fine.

I hope this is fixable I'm not sure if this is any incentive for you, but I'm willing to donate a decent amount

Is anyone having trouble with both the temp and condition automatically showing in the tray at logon? I have set both as 'Show icon and notifications' in Windows 7. Click "OK" in the Windows 'Customize' dialog. Log out. Login. Only the Temp icon shows. I obviously want both icons to show at logon time. Not sure if my Windows 7 is to blame here ?

EDIT: My screenshot of the 'Customize' setting is showing the settings after I had set both as 'Show icon and notifications' and saved those settings, then I logged out, logged in and visited the settings again, and the Conditions icon reverted to 'Only show notifications'. It does not save. Same happens in a fresh Win7 install in Virtual Box. Sorry for the confusion there.

Thanks for the reply. Just a suggestion, add something like this:

'Last provider update: Mon 30 May 2016 12:05 PM EDT'

Hi, I really love sweather. I had been using Mike Singer's 'Weather Watcher' for many years, but now that the older version no longer functions and the latest version requires is subscription model based, I was looking for an alternative.

I have one question please. v1.6.5.1.

See screenshot, I have the Refresh Time set to 15 min. I would expect the 'Updated:' to reflect a time within the last 15 minutes, but I am not seeing this. 'Updated' is showing a value over an hour old.

Thank you.
