^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.

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).

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 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.john9kover wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 6:34 pm Ok I tried it, in WMC it says "invalid application" unable to launch "myforecast".

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

john9kover, I sent you a private board message requesting some details that can help me troubleshoot the issue you are experience with MyForecast.john9kover wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 10:21 pm ok getting closer to working.

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.
