PS trying to do a ControlSend doesn't seem to work for some reason
I can't figure out how to send keys to sweather while it's minimized in the tray

Global meaning from any application at any time? Like Shift-Win-W? That would be ideal! Thanks!

That would be perfect. I bet I could even make a scheduled task in Windows 8 to type the hotkey every 15 minutes or something.

Thanks!!

Seems perfect! I can't tell exactly if it refreshes or not since the last updated time is still 5 minutes before the hour from Yahoo, but I love the new screen. And I will try hotkey refreshing again in 10-15 minutes so we'll know for sure. You are amazingly fast.

You know, it is possible the timer thing started working too. I don't remember hitting the button two minutes ago and yet it updated. Life is good!

Great program. Can't imagine life without it. Hope Microsoft pays you big time when they buy you out to integrate it into Windows 8.2 or whatever.

Ha, I should be so lucky. 

Yup timer definitely working on Win 8 now too! No idea how you fixed that but thanks!

The only thing I can think of is that latest version of sWeather is compiled with the newest AutoHotkey build so maybe that fixed something internally.  I read through the AutoHotkey changelog but it didn't mention anything timer specific like that.  Who cares, though, right?

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 .

Thank you very much for the report.  I suppose this can be read that it wasn't a fluke.  =]

Skywire...you must just be that good at programming that you are able to fix things you don't even understand .

Hahaha...I wish; I just randomly mash the keyboard and hope the damn thing compiles at the end.    Honestly, though, writing freeware is a fun hobby for me.  sWeather is fun to work on since it's one of my programs that I, personally, use.

This Windows 8 is going to be the death of me... 

Hi, if I do an update check through sWeather I get a new version : v1.4.7 build 2 but there's nothing on the sWeather site about it - a minor update I suppose ?

Greetings Skwire, and many thanks for this great little application. There are many tray weather programs, but most of them are bulky, over shiny and over intrusive, so this one is just what I was looking for: tiny, simple, nice, informative and it gets the job done.  

Though I found one conflict. I have excellent program "System Explorer" which has advanced tooltip that shows when pointing mouse over it's tray icon. Problem arises when "sWeather" refreshes weather data, it also triggers System Explorer's tooltip which then appears in random positions on my desktop and I have to click anywhere to make it go away. It happens every time sWeather refreshes its weather data so it's a little bit annoying.   Just to say that I'm using plain 32bit WinXP sp3.

I hope You can figure out how and why this incompatibility incurs and possibly fix it.  

Thanks

Thanks for welcome. 

Yeah, I've seen it, but on main site there are working download mirrors at softpedia and major geeks, which are I believe very trustful sources. Anyway, thank you for considering it, problem I've described is always happenning, I mean every time weather refreshes.

Wow, that was fast, thanks a lot.
Conflict with System Explorer seems to be solved with this workaround. Nice idea with a hidden setting without unnecessary gui checkbox.
