2.12.3 Time-bar update
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2019 4:03 pm
This build introduces an updated Time-bar.
The goal was to make Time-bar more informative.
1. Display the weather from the current moment.
Since the beginning, YoWindow used to display the weather for today from 0:00 to 24:00 hours.
Unfortunately, the horizontal space is limited on the screen of a phone.
We have to squeeze all the weather changes in this narrow space.
At 12:00 it's even worse.
There's just half of the screen left to display the weather for the rest of the day.
By the end of the day, Time-bar becomes barely useful.
So we came up with an idea how to fix this.
What if we fill Time-bar starting from the current time?
For example, at 6:00 Time-bar starts at 6:00 and ends at 24:00.
The useless night time is not displayed.
The whole bar is filled with the weather.
The best thing - you see more weather details now.
This logic works until 9:00 in the morning.
After 9:00, Time-bar keeps displaying the day from 9:00 to 24:00.
2. Tomorrow.
By the end of the day there's not much weather left to display on Time-bar.
Time-bar looks useless.
On the other hand, most people care about the weather for Tomorrow morning.
Turned out we can display Tomorrow weather to the right of Time-bar.
So you see the next morning weather right away.
This feature is experimental.
You can turn it on in YoWindow Settings/Advanced/Show Tomorrow
