Thread: FYI Weather App C/F Temp Selection

Yes, it is good to know that the settings link from within the Charms bar is sort of app centric when you evoke it from within the app itself.

Yes, I was, of course, looking for 'Settings' (in the APP); had to be reminded that Charms Settings would, @ the top SETTINGS be for that particular APP (whatever APP @ the moment).

Well that was easy after all. Weather is one of the few Metro apps that seem to be working rather like it is supposed to be. If I could just get past that ugly Metro UI.

Be patient Ted, I'm relatively certain that we will see some customizing options coming before long, either from the app store or third party vendors. Maybe even hopefully from within the interface itself the ability to add a picture maybe or an advanced color wheel, with some other graphic options. In the mean time I've quieted mine down with a simple grey tone which I find a bit less startling and easier on the eyes than some of the other options currently available.

Oh, yes, indeed... changed the colour immediately... grey or black or whatever I picked. the APPS will improve... still not sure how badly any of them are needed but, no matter. My understanding is a lot of the focus @ MS in the next few months before RTM is devoted to the APPs. Touch finding flaws in the OS itself, even, now... bit unexpected for a newly released (1st) beta but, APPs, still do need more work... I really think we'll see the fruits of that work, soon.
Example, previously mentioned, Maps didn't work @ 1st, then, recently, does.

The biggest flaw I have found so far has been the Enter problem while using the full enhanced editor. I'm still having to use the Standard Editor and that's something of a bummer. Other than that no other real problem so far.

Took me a while to figure out how to put in my nearest Capital town - got it now! It doesn't give away much so I'll stick with my local weather bureau in my favorites for now.

MAPs isn't fully operational (yet) either. Doesn't go to locations entered nor prints. Glad these APPs are not really needed to get to or do things. Still puzzling why anybody thinks we need them, sometimes. Can do all this stuff, already, w/out them (other places, other ways) like we always could.
