Tips and Tricks

PNG Transparency and IE

IE does currently not support transparent PNG. Here is a forum post with a good tip when you have problems using PNG and the Weather icons in PNG

Switching from Metric to Iperial and visa versa

If you switch from Metric (Celcius) to Iperial (Fahrenheid) or visa-versa keep in mind that your settings will be read from cache until the refresh timer is triggerd. (!)

To make it easier for testing you should set the cache timer to 1 sec until you are satisfied with your current settings!
