Forecast Icons Fixed




The forecast icons are fixed now. Carry on.


Icons not Working




There's been a change in the feed format that is causing icons to not show correctly. I'll have a fix tonight. Thanks for your patience.

Web Site Updated



Just noticed it’s been over a year since I’ve updated anything here. I guess when something works, it just works. I’ve made a few changes however for the sake of flexibility and speed.

No more frames. You’ll now see that the site is hosted at http://weather.blueonionsoftware.com which has always been the case. I was running in a frame to hide the redirect to my other site. I’m cheap and hosting SimplyWeather.net at a different site is not worth it at this time.

I’ve also made the site bookmarkable by using url arguments. The old cookie method still works but now you can also pass the location in the url. This allows you to bookmark different locations.

There’s also some other minor fixes you might notice here and there. Next update I’ll add links to the weather.com and other services to get more detailed forecasts.


Simply Weather Update 1.2.8



imageSimply Weather, the best darn weather gadget for windows, has been updated to version 1.2.8. Based on user feedback, I’ve added the following:

  • The alerts notice overlays the humidity data instead of the wind data. Some users felt the humidity was less important than the wind data when displaying alerts.
  • Added a scroll region to the alerts fly-out dialog. Multiple notices would get cut off with no way to scroll down and see them.

And I think that’s it. With so many projects going it gets a little difficult to keep track of things. Available on the downloads page
