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.  (Version 2.5)

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.  (Version 2.5)

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.  (Version 2.5)
