My improvement requests

Very nice program you have here. I like it a lot.

A couple of suggestions if I may ;

1- please reduce the size of the current weather window. It`s quite obtrusive. Smaller fonts will do as well, like the forecast ones. The fonts are pretty rough too, I don`t know if Flash let you choose nicer fonts.

2- use more colorful fonts for all the information displayed like humidity (red)

3-a mouse double-click in the yowindow should toggle maximize/minimize like a lot of programs.

4- in the screen saver mode. it be nice to set a "forward" time view. While the screen shows current weather, obviously a look outside will do too. It will be more useful to see the upcoming weather. I`m not sure, but weather forecast refresh are done at 12 hours. Good enough.

5- the SS mode, there is no interaction possible. I don`t know if it possible but using the forward/backward arrow keys, we could advance in the forecast without deactivating the SS.

6- an auto time scrolling mode will be nice too in normal and SS mode with of course the current displayed time highlighted.

7- oh yeah, is it possible to have an option to remove the top menu only ? Pressing the alt key will bring it back like so many programs.

Keep working on it, it has great potential.

Hi,

I will try to answer some of your questions if I may, since Pasha is very busy at the moment.
I can't answer them all though.

1- please reduce the size of the current weather window. It`s quite obtrusive. Smaller fonts will do as well, like the forecast ones. The fonts are pretty rough too, I don`t know if Flash let you choose nicer fonts. - I'm not shure if this is possible

2- use more colorful fonts for all the information displayed like humidity (red) - This is for Pasha to answer

3-a mouse double-click in the yowindow should toggle maximize/minimize like a lot of programs. - This is already there, when you doubleclick in the upper part of the screen, as in most programs. Is that what you mean?

4- in the screen saver mode. it be nice to set a "forward" time view. While the screen shows current weather, obviously a look outside will do too. It will be more useful to see the upcoming weather. I`m not sure, but weather forecast refresh are done at 12 hours. Good enough. - This is for Pasha to answer

5- the SS mode, there is no interaction possible. I don`t know if it possible but using the forward/backward arrow keys, we could advance in the forecast without deactivating the SS. - I think this would interfere with 'waking up' from the SS mode, since this is done either bij mousemovement or pressing any key

6- an auto time scrolling mode will be nice too in normal and SS mode with of course the current displayed time highlighted. - See point 5

7- oh yeah, is it possible to have an option to remove the top menu only ? Pressing the alt key will bring it back like so many programs. - Have you tried pressing either the 1, 2, 3 and/or tab-key? Does this do what you've asked for?

Keep working on it, it has great potential.

I hope this is of help to you.

Hello Fred, thanks for the quick reply !

So here`s a couple of clarification on my post :

3 - maximize/minimize on double click : Not exactly, I know that doing that on WIndows top bar will do that but I was refering to double-clicking any part inside the yowindow.

7- hiding top menu : not this menu but the "Program View Time ...". This is seldom used, so there is no need to display it all the time imo. I want more weather window.

Thanks !!!

Oke, thank you.

Pasha, I'm afraid the rest is up to you to answer.

Hey, Armaggeddon!

Sorry, right now no time to provide a control over the fonts and skins.

Rich screen-saver behavior is on our list, will be done, hopefully soon.

Maximize with double click inside the window will conflict with possible activities you may want to do inside YoWindow. Example - clicking on some objects to play with them.

Hiding top menu makes sense, I have added this to our list.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Thanks, Fred!

Alright Pasha, keep them coming.

One point I asked is that if it`s possible to have an auto time scrolling feature ? I mean the ability to have Yowindow in a "custom" accelerated time mode. Going forward automatically in the forecast then restart, fading between scene. That will be very impressive.
It will be fun in desktop mode but mostly in screen saver mode.
What do you think ?

Yes this is one of the screen-saver modes we want to add
