It would be great if:

Multiple WW windows could be run simultaneously. Thus skins could be tested for multiple cities/time zones concurrently. Or against other skins even. All the data for the cities in the CityCode table is available, it could even be an offline mode option.

WW had an option to read a local XML file rather than a live file.

There was a portable version of WW. It could be loaded onto a USB stick and plugged in anywhere and run without impacting the files on the host's machine.



And thank you Mike for 14a. :icon_smile:

You can do this now by making a duplicate copy of the Weather Watcher program folder. Since the settings are stored in the same location, you probably won't be able to do what you are trying to do.

I am experimenting with some code that would make this a possibility.

This is on the to-do list.

:shock: Interesting. I hadn't thought of that approach. And your idea lead to my creating copies of the ww.exe in the current folder and running them. It works!! :iconbiggrin: I can have multiple skins visible at one time.

Thanks!! :thumbright: :icon_smile:
