Save the text below the line (===) to a file named "WW tray color.reg" without the quotes.

Double clicking the file will enter the values into the registry. This made the updating the rest of my computers a lot simpler that going into the registry each time.

==========================================================

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Weather Watcher\TrayIcon]
"WhenNegative"="True"
"NegativeColor"="2046"

Ok, it's been a while, but i looked back, and guessed a little on the color code - it's probably the VB code (or something similar) which is the RGB code in hex encoding (like web colors), but with the pairs in backwards order, and then converted to a single decimal number (you can do this with the windows calc, set to scientific mode).

E.G.
You want the color yellow:
The hex RGB (web) value would be FFFF00.
Then the pairs are reversed: FF FF 00 => 00 FF FF
Then converted to decimal: 00FFFF => 65535
Put this value in the registry and you should get a bright fresh yellow.

Or maybe you'd like an aqua-ish color:
The hex RGB (web) value would be 98F5FF.
Then the pairs are reversed: 98 F5 FF => FF F5 98
Then converted to decimal: FFF598 => 16774552
Put this value in the registry and you should end up with a nice and cool aqua (or what you'd call it).

Hope this clarifies a bit

After a little trial & error with the colors, I found that "16711680" turns out to be a deep blue (for freezing temps).

Hehehe, well, I guess I forgot to say that no trial and erroring was actually needed you could just go to the WW options and set ie. the background color for the tray icon to the color you'd like, and then go to the registry key mentioned above and you'll find the right value in the "BackColor" key.
This seems to me like the easiest way

Fl?gger, I think you did mention it elsewhere -- and that's really what I did. The only real "trial & error" came in experimenting with the amount of blue needed to be distinguishable from black on my (relatively low-quality) monitor. [:)]

I just figured since I did the work I'd pass along the resulting number, since that's one that hasn't been posted before. It's the RGB equivalent of 0000FF. (Kinda like saying "oof" when you trip over something -- heh!)

p.s. -- wow, I just noticed we're tied in number of posts. [:o)]

Hehe, yeah, we WERE tied, but doesn't really matter - what matters is what you say, and not how much - but guess we're tied there aswell...

But, to get to the point, I thought it might be najs with some basic standard values, so you don't have to poke too much around..:


Hope this is of some help to somebody, and that my post wasn't just a post for the posts sake
