Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)
joiwind:
Hi skwire - just a small bug (that may have been reported already) :
if you enable the date/time etc in the titlebar, the time doesn't keep up with the system time until a refresh (either manual or weather data refresh).
No big deal.

This is actually by design so let me explain. Rather than code up my own time zone functionality (which would be a HUGE pain in the ass given all the different time zones in the world, daylight saving, etc.), sWeather uses Time Zone API found here: http://www.worldweatheronline.com/time-zone-api.aspx. I simply pass it the latitude and longitude coordinates I get from the weather location and it sends me back the time. It's easy and works very well (keeping up with all the different time zone idiosyncrasies of the world). I use the free API which has a limited number of API calls per hour so I only query it when the weather is refreshed. I also didn't want sWeather running a per-second loop to update that in real-time, either. In other words, sWeather isn't a full-fledged world clock. However, now that you mention it, I could put a help button next to that option explaining this limitation. I hope that helps to explain things a bit. :)

Not sure if this has been reported.
I am on Windows 8.1 x64
I have Steam installed and use it to play Civilization V
When sWeather is running Civ crashes when loading saved games.
If I exit sWeather, the saved games load fine.

Very strange. Does it only happen with Civ V? I do have Steam and it seems to work fine with sWeather running. Unfortunately, I do not own Civ V nor do I have Windows 8+.
