Nothing I haven't been able to overcome or that hasn't been fixed with updates to the software.

A bit late but...

Yes
Yes
If I use a dock for the system tray some icons are not drawn properly (ie at all) or there are 'phantom' copies.

The last is definitely not a showstopper.

This is even more late, but I cannot imagine using my computer now without OD+. I am honestly a lot more slow when I use my work computer. I love it and have been more than happy with the purchase.

Very cool application.

I wonder if any body has every had luck running the default weather docklet on a Canadian city ?

I replaced the US Zip code with Toronto, Canada and it can not find the city.

Double click and it opens the browser to the weather channel and finds Toronto ?

Strange I bought Nature Desktop it has a weather bug which accepts Toronto, Canada.

I will give is a try.

Strange the docklet seems to get it's data from the US Weather Channel website.

Double Click the docklet and the link and it Displayed shows Tononto and Toronto Pearson International Airport. Maybe entering just Toronto, Canada the Weather Channel Web site does not know which set of data I want.

Funny thing is when I run the Nature Desktop the Weather DesktopX widget likely also uses the Weather Channel web site for information an I can enter Toronto, Canada and it works.


Is there a editor/tutorial for making your own dockets? I get get time it maybe fun to write a Canadian docklet that uses the Canadian site the Weather Network.

If you're going to write your own I would recommend a way for the user to setup a general URL for the weather site it should use. That way it'll be applicable worldwide!

Good luck!
