Hi Carlo, it is an icon which sit is the dock at bottom of screen. When selected, the menu bar shows "Weather tracker" as main menu bar.
I am happy to write it off and pick up something that someone recommends as a good desktop weather app. I was unable to locate a plist file reflecting the Weatherzone app. Maybe that suggests a specific issue. Thanks Carlo. PEte. On 09/12/2011, at 11:45 PM, cm wrote: > Hi Peter, > > When you say it is a widget do you mean that it resided in Dashboard?
