ObjectDock Weather Docklet Incorrect Days
Friday, December 12, 2008 by Gargabee | Discussion: Docks
For anyone that is having a problem with the weather docklet reporting the days incorrectly (for instance, Friday would list as Today, Tomorrow, Friday) we have an unofficial temporary workaround that you can try.
Close down ObjectDock so that it is not running.
Open the folder where ObjectDock is installed (typically C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock) and find your 'stardockweather.ocx' file. Right click on it and select 'Rename' and rename it to 'stardockweather.ocx.bak' so that you can keep your original file preserved in case something goes horribly wrong.
Download this replacement stardockweather.ocx file:
http://sd.stardock.com/ken/stardockweather.ocx
and save it to your ObjectDock install folder (C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock). Open up ObjectDock and check the weather docklet. This may not work for everyone as it is a temporary workaround.

I am in Perth, Australia, and having problem with identifying this city with AccuWeather used in this docklet. I input "Perth, Australia" and the weathers given is Perth in Tasmania. I have checked AccuWeather website and indeed for Perth it gives the option for Perth, Australia (Tasmania) and Perth, Australia (Western Australia), but I cannot figure out how to set the docklet to Perth, Australia (Western Australia) instead of Tasmania. Any idea? Thanks.

Hey guys I'm from NZ and the weather docklet doesn't seem to work.
My brother also lives in NZ but his works and we can't figure out why.
I'm running XP sp3
Thanks

Thaaaaaaaaaaanks

I have zip a spare one of this

You should get paid by stardock for doing this repair. Even more than that, you should get all in double the money and the bonus the original maker of this got from it. Why double you ask.... because your file is half as small, thats what I call "work well done"
Peace

It doesn't work for me: Zagreb, Croatia (Europe)
Is there way to make it work with my city? Theres a great page of national institute of weather with fresh weather data here: meteo.hr
Is there way to set the weather docklet to collect data from there?

Glad to hear this is still helping out. About the only time it does not seem to help is when a country has multiple cities of the same name. The docklet to just defaults to one and you do not get to choose.
