Giant Soccer Ball

I read about the soccer players and click on screen to launch the soccer ball. I never saw the players, but was having fun launching the soccer ball. It was nice and small in relation to the landscape. I went and looked at the forecast for Monday and tried launching the soccer ball on a forecast day. It would not launch. I went back to Live and launched the soccer ball and I now have a soccer ball almost the size of the house being launched.
I cleared my internet history - same problem. I uninstalled YoWindow and made sure the folder was gone. I reinstalled YoWindow and tried launching soccer ball again. It is still huge. Here are 3 screen shots for you. My only other question is where are the players?

Pasha,
I decided to turn off my PC and take my dog for a hike. When I got back from hiking, I turned PC back on and YoWindow soccer ball is small again. I have attached another screen shot showing this. I hope you are able to fix the bug. It seems like rebooting takes care of it once it occurs.

Hi all,
I was able to duplicate the large ball and restarting YoWindow did not fix it. I then "parked" the ball near the house where I could see it. Later I brought YoWindow back up to see if it was still there and it was. First click after that it went back to small and it remains that way now. No reboot required in this case.

Guys, take it easy
I have programmed the ball to be very big between 17 and 18
So it is intentional and not to be considered as an error.
I was thinking it looks cool to play with a big balll, don't you think so?
Sorry if I missed the ball
Just to let you know, the ball jumps over the landscape in the beginning of each hour for a couple of minutes.
It will happen only if there is a game at the day.

Pasha,
There is no problem with playing soccer with a big ball! I was just remembering back to the work we did solving the growing tree! So if I am reading it right, between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm there will be a big ball. Am I correct with the time? So now we get to have fun lauching a regulation size soccer ball and then we get to launch one that is super-sized!
Thanks for letting us know that it was all planned.
Marty
