myForecast v1.0.3 release.

Enhancements
- Redesigned the application to support localization. French translation is provided by Romain.
- myForecast now will request the weather data from WeatherUnderground API(R) using the selected language.
- Replaced the default application icon in MCE extras menu and the start menu strip with a new one by d3stroy(weezle icon set).

Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue when removing the decimal point from the current temperature (thanks to stuartm and Embiggens)
- Removed the complicated (buggy) logic for the forecast tile, now the title is just named "Forecast"

^Wow, great job! I love the new Sun icon. The only cosmetic issue I see is in the settings area. The Save, Cancel, and About buttons overlap the adjacent text.

Hello Scallica,

Are you having the overlap issue on an extender ? Can you provide more information like the resolution of the device/brand name and maybe a screenshot ?
I would like to fix the settings screen if possible (it does looks fine on both Media Center servers I have).

No, I am using a 20" Dell widescreen monitor (2007WFP) connected directly to the HTPC, resolution is 1680x1050.

WeatherUnderground discontinued (Thanks Space :) ) free API accounts as of 03/01/2019 (myForecast stopped working on my MCE server as of 03/08/2019). I am investigating a replacement weather API. So far I am leaning towards darksky weather API since it have a very similar weather response structure to WeatherUnderground API so the changes should not be that much.

I believe you meant "discontinued" not "discounted".

Thank you john9kover for the information. You found a bug :oops: which happens when myForecast is installed on a new WMC machine without existing configuration from the previous version of myForecast. This is fixed now, integration tests are updated to accommodate this case and the setup file was rebuilt. Please, redownload the v1.0.6 from https://github.com/nelinory/myForecast/releases and try again.

myForecast v1.0.7 release.

Enhancements
- Improved the formatting of the Probability of Precipitation value
- Selected the correct Min/Max temperature from the response to match the DarkSky website values

Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug with incorrectly parsing decimals under different regional settings like Dutch (Netherlands), due to the decimal separator from Dark Sky API response always being a comma, example: 32.34 (thanks to Alex Kelder)

john9kover, I sent you a private board message requesting some details that can help me troubleshoot the issue you are experience with MyForecast.

Another thing you can try is to delete everything in the folder C:\Users<YOUR USER NAME>\Documents\myForecast and then run the myForecast app thru MCE. This way it will load the default settings and a location New York, NY. You will have to enter your API key again.
