Hi Peter, When you say it is a widget do you mean that it resided in Dashboard? Or alternatively did it used to show up in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen, as an icon on the Dock, or as a fixed display area on your Desktop? Or finally, was it a full fledged window that you could drag around on the desktop? (Phew! :-)
If it is a standard window you should see it when you run Exposé, which shows all running windows in miniaturised form, although it sounds as though you have done that with the four-finger swipe. Another alternative is to delete the preferences file and restart the app: 1) Stop the app by right clicking the icon and selecting Quit. 2) Delete the preferences file that will be something like ~/Library/Preferences/com.weatherzone.<app-name>.plist Where ~ represents the path /Users/SWMBO-account-name and <app-name> could be something like weather-tracker 3) Restart the app by clicking on the icon in the dock. Let me know. Cheers, Carlo On 09/12/2011, at 23:21 , Peter Crisp wrote: > I've had a little app which boots up on start up for about a year on SWMBO's > Macbook (White plastic one with Snow leopard).
