Weather Alarm Clock
Display exact time, add weather, skins and alarms to your windows clock
Friday, June 16, 2006 by RespectSoft | Discussion: WinCustomize News
This streamlined, feature-packed clock utility offers lots of useful information at a glance.
Though it gives the standard digital display, a handful of skins give this application a bit of flair.
Weather Alarm Clock presents you with an enlarged digital display clock along with the date, current temperature, and weather conditions of a user-specified location. Fortunately, you can select what is displayed in case you don't want to give up tray space.
A calendar is easily accessible with a quick right-click of the program's display in the system tray.
Alarms accompanied by pop-up messages and your favorite audio files can be set to launch files, applications, or to shut down operations.
In addition, a snooze feature and synchronization with atomic clock servers are a definite plus. With so many customizations, anyone can appreciate this software's generous output.

Or maybe not... I just checked the website for WAC, it appears they've raised the price

So much for $20 being too expensive.
It would be nice if the developer would return to this topic and address some of the issues brought up here. It's beginning to look like simple hit and run spam.

Thanks for comments.
Tarkus, issues:
1. Perhaps the clock can't play mp3 files in your system. You are first who point to this problem.
2.
These files I added by chance.
3.
Yes there is a limitation to get weather from The Weather Channel.
4.
I agree, this is the best place to add useful information.
dragonmage, Thanks for suggestions. Several features will be implemented in the near future.

| Along those same lines, why is there an MP3 folder inside the Sounds folder, with the same exact files? |
These files I added by chance.
3.
| The shortest update for weather is 30 minutes. I'd like it to update more often, but maybe that's a limitation of the weather server they're using. Not a deal breaker in any case. |

| No tooltip. Display more weather info or something useful there. |

You know , an 8 dollar price jump within two weeks of introducing it here, and seeing that the majority of responses stated $20 was too much, seems counter-productive.
Maybe you should have waited until you had several more good features that people wanted, before you started raising the price...

I guess a $10 discount looks a lot better than a $2 discount.

thanks for the link for the Will Rose object. I had lost that and couldn't remember what it was called. Great little object.

When I uninstalled Weather Alarm Clock, it opened a feedback page. I liked that, so I gave them an extensive list of improvements they could make. I'll probably send them some more suggestions. If they can implement the features I need I'll buy it. It's cheaper than Chameleon Clock anyways. Until then I guess I'll stick to the trial version of CC.
