Yeah, I know: no good deed remains unpunished. I removed the attachment. Nobody dowloaded it anyway.

[…] EXCEPT I noticed the icons in the lower right (for linking to the yahoo website) no longer appear.Ah, you're right, they're missing here too, and their tooltips are also missing! I was so eager to check the other icons in menus, About box etc that I completely overlooked the statusbar icons. Shame on me.-Mboxer511 (January 26, 2019, 08:28 PM)
@Drugwash, let me know if this fixes the icon display issue, please.Yes, v1.7.8 is confirmed to work correctly in regard to GUI icons and titlebar date/time. Thank you very much!-skwire (January 26, 2019, 03:07 AM)
They're actually icons but I tested with PNG files and got the same results. I can't win here.Ah, I remember now how the icons are created. Overly complicated IMHO. However, the Create_xxx_ico() functions look identical between 1.7.5 and 1.7.6+ so there must be some change in the way they are applied or somewhere else.
I really don't want to go back to extra loose files if I can help it.-skwire (January 23, 2019, 06:07 PM)
Reminder: date/time still dissapears from titlebar when in TooWindow mode. The tray click is the trigger.

Still working on this. Sometimes it goes away, sometimes it stays. There's really no rhyme or reason to it.-skwire (January 23, 2019, 06:07 PM)
Indeed I did. Reasoning: there's no need for the taskbar button as long as the window can be brought to front by a single icon click; extremely rarely do I use task switcher (Alt+Tab).- Bug?: no more minimize button in titlebar.-Drugwash (January 20, 2019, 05:19 PM)
Eh? Did you enable the "Do not show taskbar button" option or something?-skwire (January 20, 2019, 05:40 PM)
I don't see this extra blank line, but let me know if I fixed it when I release the next interim build later today.There's an extra "`n" (new line) at the end of the tooltip text, I found it in previous version and fixed it locally. Possibly your version of Windows trims it automatically, that's why you don't see it, but XP does display it.-skwire (January 20, 2019, 11:24 AM)
You can try disabling the "Use HTTPS when possible" option in sWeather.That seems to have worked. Can't believe I didn't try that earlier. Or did I…? Anyway, one down. Will be waiting for Yahoo's fixes… or yours.-skwire (January 20, 2019, 11:24 AM)
You'll care when something breaks and you have to figure out what that might beThat's what detailed comments in the code are for. Besides, debugging can be fun and I could surely help with that, if needed.-wraith808 (January 09, 2019, 05:54 PM)
each edit would take an extra refresh of the weather dataNot all edited fields would require a data refresh. City/town name, for example, shouldn't, it's just for display since the data is retrieved by WOEID if I'm not mistaken. Actually I think data refresh should be triggered only by the addition of a new City/WOEID and only for that one. Dunno how the script works, maybe you're not keeping the full data between timed refreshes and that's why it requires a refresh on each change in settings, and even when nothing was changed (clicking on {x} to close the settings window, not on 'Save').
The Yahoo data doesn't provide it in that format. I could probably do the math and add it as an option.Air pressure format is not that important to me, if there's more request for that or it's easy to implement then yes, you may do that, otherwise make it a low priority.
Good idea, and one I should be able to easily implement.In regard to showing links there's one more reason for me: the default browser (Pale Moon) starts up very slowly (more than a minute) due to many extensions and takes CPU to 100%, so for quick browsing I use another one (QtWeb) which is snappy. But clicking a link would fire up the default browser so I'd rather see the URL and type it down manually in QtWeb.
This data comes directly from the feed. I don't modify it at all.OK, then I'll take it as is. Anyway, they say starting next year we won't be using winter time anymore so it won't be a problem for me. Not that it is a big one now anyway.
If I delete a location from the list and click save, the menu is updated for me.I noticed the issue at first run after adding my location and then deleting the default location. Both were still shown in main menu and tray menu until I restarted the application. Now when adding and then deleting a location it does update both menus in real time. It may have to do only with the default location. Try running the script/app fresh without config file, add a random location then delete the default one, see if you can reproduce.
I know you're not going to like this, but this isn't going to change.You're right. That was the most important issue, that's why I left it last. I have less than 300MB free on the system partition and those icons would take way too much space - I had to place the app on another partition but I'd rather have all portable apps in one single location which is on the system partition.
