unbelievable! if the weather information comes from Norway how is it that is given in Fahrenheit degrees and not in Celsius?
anyways please tell me how can I change my screen into Celsius or Centigrade. I found no answer to my question and I take it is a simple procedure but I didn't find it.
Thanks to anyone who solves my problem

Welcome to YoWindow.
In answer to why fahrenheit, the default location if no location is set is New York City which is fahrenheit.
To Change to Celsius, click on the top left of the Desktop which is 'Program' and then click on 'Options'. An option screen like the following will appear.

Click on Units and then select your Unit System. Click on Apply.
Enjoy YoWindow and have a Happy New Year.

Hi UmYasin!

see it like this: different units are just different views to the same fact. The same temperature is always the same temperature no matter if fahrenheit, celsius, or kelvin. So Norway (yr.no) delivers the "fact" und you have the freedom to select the "point-of-view"

Just have a look at the options of YoWindow. Select "Program" -> "Options" -> "Units". There you can select "US", "Metric" or "Custom" to select the unit-system of your choice:
