Unless I'm blind, it doesn't appear to be available yet on their site. It's not listed on the freeware page or on the home page that I can see. Sounds good though.

gef: as it is a new app that has just been released a few hours ago, skin sites will have to make sessions and skinners have to download and skin first.

but there are already two new skins here: http://www.designtechnika.com/forums/index.php?s=5fff41ee0a0760afbe0026bd96b9ef9c&act=ST&f=65&t=596

I like to know what the weather is like in my parent's/brother's/sister's hometowns. They are spread out all over the USA. I can't do that by looking out the window.

Strange, when I first went to the page, the hoverweather item was not there. I checked the whole page very carefully. Yet now it's there plain as day. I wouldn't think I was getting a cached page though, I've never been to the site before. Oh well.

Yeah, I agree. This is one of those apps that should be worthy of a section here. It's put together very well and there is no other app like it (sort of like 'SysMetrix' when it first appeared).

And like 'SysMetrix', you just know it's going to be very popular with skinners.

This is a great little app. I've missed Weatherdesk so much since I stopped using LiteSTEP. I'm very glad to have my forecast back on the desktop. We Definitely need a HoverWeather ! Section here at WinCustomize.

How can I find where my citys weather info is being generated? HW is still showing weather from 11:00am yesterday and yahoo doesn't list where the weather is coming from.

Is there anyway to add a different site to retrieve the weather from? 3 of the cities I'm monitoring haven't updated in a couple of days now.
