The extension is very young.
Only a minimal number of features are available so far.
But we have put a lot of time and energy to make it look and feel nice.

There is only one landscape (Village), no weather forecast, no time-bar.
You cannot switch the locations while in window-mode.
But, of course, the program will grow over time.

Want to know more?
As you may know YoWindow is being rewritten from the ground up in the new programming language - Action Script 3.0
YoWindow for Chrome is the new YoWindow, written in Action Script 3.0.
That is why most features are not available yet.
But you can follow our progress now by looking at how YoWindow for Chrome grows up.
This is actually the main reason why we are opening YoWindow for Chrome project.
We need you to help us with testing new YoWindow ;)

Known issues.
- Temperature on the button and inside the window may be different.
This can occure because the weather is loaded independently for the button and for the window.
Don't worry, we will fix this problem sooner or later.

Hey, Herman!
Thanks for spotting this.

We did not meant to open "landscape URL" feature at this moment.
It is not finished yet.
I have removed the landscape selection controls and updated the build.

There are some technological problems with custom landscapes, but I hope we will manage to get through :)

Hi Pasha,

What you have currently works great! :good:

My question/suggestion is for the future. When you include the forecast, will you allow USA the option of having yr.no or NWS?

Thank you, friends :)
I was a little nervous that our first version for Chrome can be awkward.
But you have soothed my worries :beer:

Yes, Marty, I have planned to let the user control the weather forecast source.
