YoWindow Forum

What's new.

- New UI look.

- Time Bar redesigned.
Time Bar is transparent.
Sky wallpaper removed.
Cursor is now an arrow hanging down from the Inspector.

- ATTENTION, behavior change: when you reopen YoWindow then Home location selected AND time switches to Live mode.
Reason: the user could mix up location or time selected before with Home and current time.


- Sound volume is 4 times louder.
Reason - make it heard on the New iPad
How do you like this change?

- FIXED: sound switch sometimes does not work

- Airport: planes sound extended to last longer after the planes leaving the screen

- Seaside: Lighthouse

- Airport: beacons on top of small cars
- Airport: distant cars running over the bridge

- When YoWindow installed for the first time - there are 4 default cities, each with its own landscape.
New York - Airport
Tokyo - Oriental
Los Angeles - Seaside
London - Village

removed from the predefined locations, right? You still can select it if you want.

A tiny detail but looks great for me.

I like it very much!

I miss the YoWindow-icon on top


4 questions:

1. if i rotate from portrait to landscape mode not only the time-bar but also the forecast-panels are hidden. Is this intentional?
2. If the weather is going to be updated automatically there's a info-bar with the text on the screen which doesn't disappear after the weather-info was updated. Only if i tap on "update the weather" in the settings i do have the info-bar on the landscape-screen which disappears after 1 or 2 seconds.
   I reproduce this (sometimes) by changing a location and the weather needs to be updated. Then the info-bar ("weather is updating") appears and remains on the screen. I have to go to te settings, tap on "update weather" to make the info-bar disappear. (or move to the past or future and go back with the "LIVE"-button)
3. In the settings i see "Units" - translated to my language. If i tap on it i go the screen where i can select the unit-system. On this screen on the first line i see the english text "Unit System" which should be translated to the my language.
4. Will there be the possibility to rename a location, maybe in a later release?

Thanks, friends!

Herman, there are still a lot of work to be done,

- we need to make YoWindow start faster and run faster.
- some features are missing
- sound is not done yet
- we need to prepare marketing attack

I think we will release YoWindow for iPhone in the end of January.

Misunderstanding here.
I was speaking about sky wallpaper displayed on time-bar, not Sky landscape.
Yes, Sky landscape was removed from predefined locations, but is kept in the landscapes list.

That's an error, thanks!


1. Yes, intentional, otherwise the landscape is covered with UI too much.
Too free up the space we decided to use the following rule: no forecast in landscape mode.
But we still not sure about this decision.

2. Looks like an error.
I think I've seen this problem before, but I cannot repeat it right now.
Probably this could only been noticed when the internet connection is poor.
Can you find a stable way to reproduce it?

3. A flaw, going to fix it!

4. You can do this!
Just tap on location name in location-organizer mode.

Reinhart, thanks for compliments and critics!

Sorry For the delay in posting

Landscapes & sounds:
Village, with volume on high it sound like an engine ticking over in the background (not good). But sounds are good
Airport, Don't like the background loop, it sounds as if you are sat in the airport canteen! Also planes stop flying after a short time
Seaside, sounds are good, like it. Love the fog horn. Lighthouse should flash when light passes your eye.
Oriental, Same as Village. - Bad background hum, with volume on high.
Sky, Same as village. - Bad background hum, with volume on high.

Cheers Pete.

Have noticed that sometimes the +- symbols overlap with the degree symbol. not really a problem, just looks untidy.

Pete

Love the new time bar and cursor
Have noticed that when selecting a landscape from the dropdown menu, you can't select the landscape as you were using. eg, if you were displaying the village landscape you can not select the village landscape from the dropdown menu. The only way to get back to the same landsccape is to tap the landscape icon (top right). Not really a problem, just a little confusing at first.
Just found out that i can move the ballon around the screen.

Keep up the great work. It is looking fab

Cheers Pete.
