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.

Thank you so much for the fix on the weather docklet. It fixed mine right up and is now displaying the correct information! This thing has been driving me crazy for weeks. It's nice to have it back again.

The problem still persists in 2012 and the fix worked! Thanks OP
IMO - A bug that is 4 years old is a little ridiculous...Stardock should probably fix this in an upcoming release. We have all payed good money for this software, it should somewhat flawless, and if a bug is found it should be fixed immediately.

I'm not sure it qualifies as a "bug" but it is a problem. Something does break or corrupt the file but not very often and not for everyone. I doubt it can be easily reproduced, if at all. That can make a permanent fix almost impossible to implement.
The workaround still works and is not at all hard to apply. That is "flawless" enough for most users.

This bug is still there, and the fix still works
