LookOff Weather

Weather with a view. Realistic graphics, detailed forecasts, and large, compact, or mini widgets for your Windows desktop.

Hopefully I am posting in the correct category.
This is a new weather app I came up with that I thought a lot of people might appreciate. There is no installation necessary; just click the icon and it runs. Keep the icon as a shortcut on your desktop for when you close the app so you can relaunch it.
I made a YouTube video of it in action. The program is free.

Put up your youtube video on a response on the desktop screenie thread. You'll get more exposure that way. You can also post the vid on naroon1's thread...just a thought.  ;)

This is a really well thought out app, and very flexible in how it looks.

Quick question, is it necessary to press the "Refresh" button every time you want to refresh the info, or does it actually refresh automatically on a schedule?

Also, would it be possible to have the icon go to the System Tray, with a context menu for Refresh and Exit, rather than the Taskbar?

The weather automatically refreshes approximately every 15-17 minutes.
I am doing an update and will have the running program icon in the tray and not on the taskbar. People can always place the exe somewhere, such as their documents, and place a shortcut on their taskbar if they so choose to do so. 
UPDATE, Download the latest version for the system tray update. https://canuckken.itch.io/lookoff-weather
