November 16, 2007 · version 2.0 Andrew WThis Widget is wonderful! It does just what I want it to.
However: can I suggest one enhancement that has been causing me perpetual problems?
As I continually suspend and hibernate, this Radar Widget has problems recovering. I almost always get the menu popup to close, reload or ignore. All my other network Widgets including Yahoos Weather widget seem to restart just fine on a resume.
Can logic be added to retry the network connection instead of just spitting up the error mesage?
thanks,
Drew

November 16, 2007 · version 2.0 steveg944@ameritech.netI have been using this for a while. When I upgraded to YWE v.4, the widget started moving around the screen whenever I came out of screensaver. Apparently this is a problem with YWE v.4 and the shadow effect.
I fixed it by changing <shadow>true</shadow> to <shadow>false</shadow> in the Radar Widget.kon file. I lose the shadow effect, but don't really care about that feature.
p.s. Nice job on this widget.
