Weather Widgets dont work anymore after DesktopX 3
Wednesday, March 23, 2005 by El_Squiddo | Discussion: DesktopX
all of my weather widgets - I generally use Vector Cell Weather as well as the standard weather docklet in ObjectDock have been broken by upgrading to DesktopX 3.0.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to get these working or a recommendation for widgets / docklets that DO work under 3.0? IMHO, making a major upgrade that broke the existing objects was a major fauxpas by Stardock... (Im a developer and if I let that one slip by without putting out AMPLE notice and converters, someone would have my head).

After the 3.0 upgrade, I can no longer run one of my faves-the Animated Weather Satellite and Radar widget. There are 1 or 2 others that have been 'broken' by the update.

some weather widget do work, some do not.
For example, in the sustenance weather I tried (and which share the same script as many weather widgets), it failed to run scripts for changing city and units, due to problems in variables.

After the upgrade I am still able to use my weather widgets, but they are almost always "Communicating with the weather station". It is written in red accross the front of the widget.

All the widegets I used work, I just get the default cities weather, which is nice, if I cared about weather in Greece.

I unloaded DX2.x. Updated to DX3.x. Rebooted and everything I had running before, including adni18's live weather widget works fine.

Waiting for word from tech support on whether it is the widget or something else.
