Why are Weather Watcher system tray icons so small and ugly?

Oh wellā€¦ cannot fix everything I guess.

hahaā€¦ and you smell like a communist.

spam is when i say to people to click and go to other site, can you show me the rules where itā€™s say in this forum not to put my website in my signature?

i donā€™t want to be bad but wtf you can PM me and i remove them.

PS as yo usee i promote WW on my siteā€¦

i hope you understand what i want to say because i donā€™t speak to good english :mrgreen:

Friends? :slight_smile:

ovd., I apologize for not contacting you in advance. There has been a lot of spam flying around here lately, so I guess itā€™s often easier to just take care of those situations as they turn up. I would appreciate it if you would refrain from adding any links to your signature and/or location.

ā€¦ and donā€™t mind EdP. He means well :icon_smile:

I am quite the opposite, I am definitely a capitalist. And Iā€™ll bet Mike could be persuaded to allow you to have a link to your web site in your sig if you quarantee him say 5% of your Google ads income each month. Having numerous links to your site on other websites raises your URLā€™s ranking in search engines like Google, and the more visitors to your site the more hits on your Google ads and the more you make. So having to pay for the links you place to your site here seems like a profitable option for Mike to make some money to pay for his site. And since this site is extremely popular placing a link to your site here is a very worthwhile idea and 5% of your monthly gross maybe too low. But you seem like a nice guy so 5% can be the introductory offer.

I will however need 50% of your current monthly gross to cover my efforts to persuade Mike to accept your 5% offer.

hth

:lol:

EdPā€¦ my site is very popular too and i promote WW on it that give me the right to put a link for free :lol: hahah.

just joking :thumbright:

Hello there! Long time user first time poster!
I found this thread and thought I might find an answer to my question but I did not.

The problem Iā€™m having with Weather Watcher is that the tray icon is justā€¦ well. I donā€™t know what it is. It doesnā€™t look like anything I know. I have been waiting and hoping this would be fixed in every new version but it has not been fixed so far. So when 6.0.0.61 came out and this thing was still there. I figured that maybe a post on the forums might help. I post an image below for how it looks on my system. I marked the Weather Watcher Icon with red.

KarlV, please post a screenshot of the ā€œTray Iconā€ section of your Weather Watcher (Live) Options window.

Since upgrading to 5.6.45, the condition icon seems to have rounded itself and itā€™s almost impossible to see what the weather is unless you point at the icon! Anyone else think this?

Iā€™m using large DPI if that makes a differenceā€¦

Thanks
Steven

CiaraJansonFan, please post a screenshot.

The only recent change was the addition of the ā€œBlend edges of ClearType textā€¦ā€ checkbox in the ā€œTray Iconā€ tab of the Weather Watcher Options window. Did you try unchecking that checkbox to see if it made a difference?

Mike,

Iā€™m not sure how to post a screenshot but I think the problem is that if Blend edges is NOT ticked, the condition icon becomes round rather than square - I would have expected this option to only apply to the temperature icon, as the condition icon isnā€™t ClearType text - or is it?!!?

Thanks
Steven

Itā€™s not text, so I would not expect that change to affect the condition icon.

Iā€™m afraid it does Mike - see below.

Blend edges unticked:

The other problem I have is that the ā€˜Make transparentā€™ tick box doesnā€™t let you reverse it - i.e. ticking it makes the condition icon transparent, but unticking it again doesnā€™t make it opaque again - the only way to change it back is to tick BOTH checkboxes at the bottom of the ā€˜Tray Iconā€™ tab :sad:

Cheers
Steven

CiaraJansonFan, Iā€™ll take a look at this and get back to you.
