YoWindow Forum

Hi Friends,

If you would like to try and see if lightning works on YoWindow Chrome, here are the steps to find thunderstorms with lightning.

1. Go to my Hiking Weather website. All of the tools are there.
2. Click onto my dropdown menu. Click onto Lightning Monitor. See which states and provinces have lightning.
3. On my home page, click on USA Region Maps (or Canadian Weather Maps) to see radar of state or province from step 2. Remember the City name nearest the storm.
4. Click onto dropdown menu for WunderMap for Ohio. Let it load. Enter name of city from step 3. Once it loads, click on radar and zoom wide if need be. Find the location that is in the heart of the storm.
5. Click onto dropdown menu for Choose A Location. Select the town from step 4 and confirm that the sky is flashing.
6. Now leave my website and go to YoWindow Chrome. Select the above town and set it as your home location. Now see if you can see lightning.

I have used the above steps on 2 of my PCs (WinXP and Win7). I find the storms and see the lightning on widget and desktop. I am not able to see the lightning on YoWindow Chrome.

Hey, Marty!
Thank you for the investigation.
I have found the error, and have fixed it, hopefully.
Please upgrade to the new build of YoWindow for Chrome and check the thunderstorms again when you have a chance.

Hi Pasha,

You are so close to having this issue fixed!!!!

Right now, my inspector for Mansfield shows 81 F, thunderstorm icon, and Fair conditions. The button shows 81 F with sun and clouds. It is sunny with a few clouds here. But what is exciting is with the thunderstorm icon, I am seeing lightning bolts followed by flashing sky! Our Sky from Hasselholm who loves lightning season will be very happy with this.

Miami, Florida is doing the same thing. It is 84 F and cloudy there. It has the thunderstorm icon and we have lightning bolts followed by flashing sky.

The exciting thing is you have the lightning showing up. Now you just need to straighten up the inspector panel and show the correct weather.

You are soooo close

Marty

Yep, I was too fast.
Please upgrade one more time, should work properlt now.
And yes, Sky would appreciate the news
It's a pity she did not showed up on the forum for a long time...

Wow Pasha,

These thunderbolts are amazing!
Good job

Marty,

Your description to find a place with thunder is really excellent.
Thanks a lot for that. Thanks to you I could find a place to test this

I'll drink to you, cheers
