Weather Dock as a widget for Panther OS! Yeah!

Grand Exhualted Poobah
I immediately loved the Weather Dock because Panther OS does not have built in widget functionality. (Oh yes, I have Leopard OS too but it runs slower and then I can't run windows xp and classic 09 at the same time).
I love the speaking feature. You can also set a desktop icon and unlike other desktop icons this one vanishes when your mouse cursor moves over it. Sure beats the hassle with trying to find space for it on your desktop. So many times I've had issues with desktop icons interfering with other selections beneath. Like take expose for instance. Often setting a corner of the screen for a certain function means accidentally activating expose when I really wanted to click on something in that corner of the screen ie. the dock for instance.
The dock icon is very well done, easy to see. There are so many features with this app that its sure to fit any need.
Sometimes you find an app that really fits a need you didn't know you had. This one is terrific! I have it auto launch at boot time!

A couple of suggestions for improvements. One is that there should be a variable refresh interval. The other programs have it. This seems to be refreshing once an hour, and that's way too seldom. Up to once every 15 minutes would be better. And right now, the days and nights in the menu blend together. It would be better to have alternating background colors for the rows, white for day and light gray for night. Just for the text, though. Leave the icon column with a white background so the icons don't need to be changed with transparency.
