Published on the archives, thank you!

There is a small bug report: if you start application without network being setup (as for example default AROS linux hosted setup) it will crash while accessing sockets (probably because it does not detect that bsdsocket.library is not present?).

A consideration for the next releases the saving of preferences once at the start and then if you could definitively position yourself on the workbench via tooltype for example

All Best and thank you for your support

Marcus I tried AWeather successfully, created the DualPNG icons in AROS One style, also recreated the images giving some color :)

I noticed that it is not possible to see the weather predictions only on the capitals, is it not possible to have the information about your own city using the appropriate Geographic Coordinates? also is it possible to change Fonts and size?

Thank you all for testing it!

deadwood - Yes, it assumes networking is present. I will make fixes for v1.1 :)

salvo - I will see if I can store the window location and reload it when the program is started

AMIGASYSTEM - Do you mind sharing the colorful icons?
You can put in any coordinates, the list is just a quick preset that fills in the long/lat fields. When you click Save it should save your settings to file and load them next time.

Ok Marcus

Yes I can do this in a future update but it will require a rewrite from LCL to ALB42's MUI lib so it might not be the next update but it will definitely be in a future update :)

@salvo
This happens to you because you saved wrong coordinates

It opens the Settings every time on start by workaround. There's something weird that's causing the application to break if it displays the Weather panel first.

You must also enter the correct coordinates "Longitude and Latitude" and then save.

If you double click the City it should populate the lat/long automatically, or you can manually enter whatever coordinates you want
