RE: weatherzone widget disappeared

[Crisp, Peter]

Hi all, in case anyone else was curious, I resolved my issue here from
below. As expected a trivial fix. One of my kids I suspect had
inadvertently dragged the widget to sit 'behind' the Dock so it was
hidden. It made a temporary appearance when Weatherzone had a gale wind
warning which results in a pop up window sitting above the widget - this
is what I saw to locate it. if I tried to drag it up, from behind the
dock, I would end up launching the app is was sitting behind.

 

The solution, shift the dock to the left side of screen momentarily,
drag the widget back up on screen, reposition the dock back to the
bottom position. Problem solvered.

 

Thanks for everyones suggestions.

 

Regards

 

Peter...

Hi again, my issue is specifically about how to get the widget back to
the desktop after whizzing it away with the 4 finger swipe on the mouse
pad. The widget is visible in compressed imagery when swiped away, but I
can't retrieve it to the desktop in its fullness of yore. The loss of it
I don't believe is associated with the OS upgrade. 

 

Perhaps I could uninstall and reinstall as a sledgehammer approach - but
I don't know how to do that either - sorry.

Peter.

The Weatherzone Weather tracker that sits on the desktop disappeared
when I upgraded the OS. No sign of an upgrade yet!

Hi folks, I installed the weatherzone widget 6 months ago (the Mac
version) onto my macbook with SL and find it very useful. I have also
recently learned the four finger swipe command on the mousepad to "go to
desktop". So now when I swipe down (towards oneself) I see the widget as
one of the panels, and when I select it with the mouse, it darts off to
the dock. I can't seem to get the widget back onto the main desktop.
I've tried quitting Weatherzone Tracker, rebooting the Macbook all to no
avail. I also bet there is a trivial fix for this too. Can anyone
provide me a fix for this please?

 

Thanks.

Re: weatherzone widget disappeared

I use TheBom Weather Widget and I've never had problems with it.  If you want 
to try it as an alternative you can find it here.

Ok, thanks for that Carlo. I have been using the Weatherzone widget for around 
6 months so no problems with it running on Snow Leopard, even with the recent 
upgrade too, it works fine. My problem is the 4 finger swipe caused 
disappearance of it.
 
Yes, it is the expose style is the place I can see it in compressed view but 
clicking on it doesn’t retrieve it where ti does for the other apps like 
Safari/Mail, etc. I will try the swipe left/right option tonight to see if that 
allows me to click and retrieve it.
 
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
 
To try to reproduce the problem I downloaded Weatherzone and I had the same 
experience as Tony -- it does not appear to run on Snow Leopard.
 
A minor point that may not be relevant, and that is that one uses a four finger 
swipe up (not down) to revel the desktop. A four finger swipe down shows all 
open windows in exposé style. For completeness a four finger swipe left or 
right shows all open application icons and allows one to select an icon to 
switch between running applications.
 
Cheers,
Carlo
