Pavel:
I do not manage to maintain the active window of a program, for example of Word or Excel, and to maintain on the same thing it activates the window of Yowindow.
Is it a problem of configuration of the Windows7 or is any incompatibility with Yowindow?
Eugénio

Do i understand you right that you want to work for example in Word/Excel/... and at the same time watching the weather in YoWindow?
If so: there can always be only on window the active one or only one window can be the active one and receive user input - "it has the focus".
If you activate YoWindow and then switch to another program (switch = click on a window of that program), YoWindow becomes inactive and stops calculating the weather animations to not waste cpu-power.
Maybe that stopping of calculation when loosing focus can become an option of YoWindow when you ask Pavel or make a suggestion?

You want the YoWindow window 'always on top' as it is called...
Perhaps a good idea for a future version of YoWindow...
Unfortunately Win 7 doesn't have this option built-in...
You will need to run a 3rd party application...
