Yes. We won! The only thing left is to reduce the program launch time. It connects to a wide variety of Windows libraries and services. Also it creates a lot of controls like buttons, icons, labels, tables, animated objects, etc...  and generates skins and color palettes for each one. All this takes from 9 to 22 seconds, depending on the speed of the computer... Too long...

So my goal for the near future is to significantly reduce the launch time. At least to 4-6 seconds. I don't know if I can do this, but I will try.

Okay. I'll go to upload update to WC.

Best Regards, Vicki! I am really very grateful for your help.

Many thanks! If you find any bugs, or maybe you have some ideas on what to change in the HUD design to make it more usable, or if you decide that some features (like news feeds) are necessary but missing, I'm here.

Vad, I'm experiencing a problem with the weather.  The current temperature is showing the "high" temperature for the day.  Those two temps have been the same for a couple days now.  Maybe just the feed?  Thanks.

Maybe just the feed?

Did you click the 'Refresh' button? HUD Weather shows the forecast received from server (for example, I see "N/A" for Kiev right now). So, there are two possible reasons why you are seeing the 'wrong' temperature:

  1. Error in the feed. I've seen this many times.
  2. No current temperature data available. In this case, you will see the temperature of the first hour from the hourly forecast or 'N/A' like me.

 

Have you tried the latest updated version? Anyway I'll take a look inside the code.

I do think it's the feed.  It is working correctly now but I have seen N/A before.  I do have the latest version.  So I think it's okay.  Thanks.

I am having problems with weather location.

Where are the details? How can I help if I do not know what is the matter?

For me the app starts (it grabs 20% in Task Manager) and then drops off without an error.

and then drops off without an error.

This is impossible. If you see the app in Task Manager and then it closes unexpectedly (which clearly indicates an error), traces should remain in Event Viewer. If your Antivirus is blocking the app, traces should be in its log...

Otherwise, I will not be able to help, and you will have to find the cause of the problem yourself.

Is it just me that's having this problem?  Everything works fine except for this.  It fixed itself for a day and now it's back again.  If it's the feed, fine.  I just want to know if I need to fix something on this end.  Also,  the weather in Rainmeter skins work fine.  Thanks.

Finally I figured out what you mean. That temperature is not a "HIGH". This is the "CURRENT" temperature measured right now. As well as all other parameters such as pressure, wind, humidity and chance of precipitation.

To see a High temperature, switch to 10 days. Likewise, switch to 10 nights to see Low temperature.

P.S. You may use Rainmeter weather if you like it.

Comment #95 Friday, September 25, 2020 10:31 AM

I have it switched to 10 days.  That's how I know the Current and High are exactly the same.  I don't want Rainmeter weather.  I want to know how I can fix this.  Thanks.

Comment #96 Friday, September 25, 2020 11:37 AM

I want to know how I can fix this.

You cannot, because it is not a bug. This is how HUD Weather works. Thus, the forecast data will be displayed as is.

GregII
Comment #97 Friday, September 25, 2020 11:42 AM

It is a bug.  It used to work correctly.  The High temp for the day cannot be the same as the Current temp.

GregII
Comment #98 Friday, September 25, 2020 1:57 PM

I also checked with WeatherLab-10.  Same problem.  Maybe it's my city?

 

Vad_M
Comment #99 Friday, September 25, 2020 2:40 PM

Maybe it's my city?

No. This is the weather server. When the current day ends according to their internal clock they display N/A as a daytime temperature for first day.

I don't want to see this. So my weather widgets replaces the empty field with the temperature value for the first hour of the current day.

There are no any problems or bugs. There is only a desire to see the temperature instead of the damn N/A. I cannot influence or change the Weather Service policy. I'm also unable to correct their empty or invalid data. I can only use this data in the form in which it is.

So forget and use HUD calmly. Or remove it and use something else.

Comment #100 Friday, September 25, 2020 3:02 PM

I understand about N/A.  I'm saying the Current temp and the High temp are the same.  All day long.  This should not be.  It never was before so it must be my city or the feed.  How about this:  Check Bloomer, Wisconsin, USA.
