FREE_DEVELOPMENT I have used weather dock for years now, and love it. All of a sudden it has stopped appearing in my menu bar when I turn on my computer. After I click on the icon, it will reappear, but disappear shortly after that. Yes I do have the menu icon enabled, and the automatic open on login. I am using 10.5.6 as well on a new macBook

MACUPDATE ADMIN Try deleting its pref's file, it is named nl.alwintroost.WeatherDock.plist Of course, you'll need to reset your prefs after deleting its .plist file.

FREE_DEVELOPMENT Still the same response... I am wondering if it may be because it takes some time for the internet to connect. My university just got wireless, and it takes about a minute for everything to register on the network.

VRH I have used this application ever since WeatherPop stopped working for me, and as one other reviewer said, this is actually better in terms of features. What a great application! And now with this update, one of my favourite features is working again! Big kudos to the developer for his excellent work!

MISHA I used WeatherPop forever. This is the only replacement that's not only as good as WeatherPop, but actually better. If you want quick access to weather in your menu bar, this is the only way to go.

AETNARIA Agreed. It's the only one I use now.

AETNARIA Terrific application. I'm a person that only wants a tiny icon in my menubar indicating the current temp and look, with a drop-down forecast ready at the click. This does exactly that. Don't like the (customizable) icon in the Dock? There's an option to take it off. Don't like the (customizable) image sitting on the desktop like something that escaped off of Dashboard? It's off by default, but available if you'd want it anyhow. This app does tons more, but if you don't want more it won't get in your way.

VERYCARLA This is a great little app, but there are two things I would like to see. First, a complete re-do of the preferences interface. It's a little clunky right now. Every time I update the app I have to tell it to hide the dock icon and every time I forget how to do that. I'm looking for a check box, but it's a button. Why is it a button when everything else is a check box? The other thing I would like to see is a new way to manage locations. I can't for the life of me figure out how to delete Twente from my list of favourites. I have nothing against Twente, but I don't live there and I will probably never go there. Perhaps the best thing to do is let the user decide the default location the first time he runs the application. Otherwise it's a fantastic little tool.

AETNARIA From the menubar item, select Open WeatherDock (or command-n). In the window that pops up, click the Favorites button. A drawer will slide out. Use the - button on it to remove Locations of noninterest.

VERYCARLA Thanks, aetnaria! That should be in the preferences somewhere. I don't think I'd ever have found it there without help!

MDOGNRDOG Wow. This is the best use of the dock's "eye candy" features EVER. One glance at the dock icon tells me current conditions, plus tomorrow's forecast (although it could tell me other things if I so desired). And a single click pops open the full rundown. Very, very nice.

F451 Man, I love this little app! It is simply the cleanest means of keeping current with weather conditions that exists in the Mac world today.

F451 Mine went crazy too, but the developer is aware of the issue: Dear WeatherDock users, it has come to my attention that the format of the feeds delivered by weather.com and used by WeatherDock have been changed, causing some undesired behaviour in the WeatherDock application. I will investigate this issue and try to find a solution. If this issue can be resolved then I will be posting a new version a soon as possible. Please check back later, or use the 'Check for updates' item in the WeatherDock menu. Alwin Troost
