TWC Desktop "App"
« on: December 27, 2011, 04:53:37 PM »
Anyone download the latest Desktop "App" from TWC?  I have always had a TWC desktop program but here recently I updated it and now its real nice.  Nice graphics and such.  For some reason the temperature icon in the taskbar is a little smaller than before.  I'd be nice if the icons were animated as well.  Just curious if anyone downloaded the latest update.

Downloaded it the day it came out. Couldn't read the taskbar temperature and hated that it wouldn't just minimize on startup so went back to older version.

Is there a Link where I could download the old version?  I agree with you in that I liked having it minimize after it started and having the icon a little bigger.

i had it, uninstalled it because i really didnt like it that much and re downloaded the original weather channel desktop

couple of reasons why i didnt like TWC desktop App

1. gave the report for Newark not Fords, so i almost always saw the wrong weather
2. froze a lot
3. always had some sort of issue with it.

knew the first part Zach XD thanks anyway. but it would be hard for me to actually finish Fords NJ because it will become unresponsive and i usually have to close it and re-open it, another reason why i uninstalled it.

Sorry to drag an old topic from the grave, but I was curious if anyone else had their TWC Desktop automatically update to the new one.  I had uninstalled their new "App" and re installed the older desktop program but the other day it installed the new one automatically.
