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...

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. Regards Peter.

No sign of an upgrade yet! Tony On 14/12/2010, at 8:23 AM, Lloyd White wrote: I lost my Weather Vane (free) when the OS recently was upgraded. After a couple of days a new version became available. Now works well. Lloyd 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.
