I didn't include the auto-update in the first place, because I wanted to see how such a regular timer affects the battery usage.
I'd like to have a setting for that, knowing that it might affect my battery usage.

My coding experience is limited only to excel vba. I'd probably find something googeling but help would be appreciated.

Help a noobie out a little bit more, what programming language (don't kill me now) can be used with this app?

A script to show the set alarm time would be cool too...

Thanks in advance!

thp, when choosing to centre the text alignment and having MeeCast together the billboard text centres not only in width but height also leading some parts of it to be overlapped with Meecast. Left and right text alignment work fine.
thanks.

The regional format is what's used for things like displaying currencies, dates, times and other things - the system automatically uses this for formatting the date and time. You can of course change the regional format to English and then it should display it in English.

I'll think about it.

Indeed - that's a bug; thanks for noticing. Will fix that soon

It seems that the MeeCast widget for the stand-by screen is behaving erratically when used in conjuction with Billboard. Sometimes it decides to just not pop up, but it always decides to pop up eventually.

Hey,

I've noticed the same. In my experience it seems to be related to the updating of the weather information and when refreshing notification screen (which also updates weather info).

MeeCast is set to update every 4 hours, but the oddness with the widget happens more frequently than that. I am unaware of any other way it would be updating the weather info besides me forcing it in MeeCast itself.

I'll think about it.
Hey,

thanks for the reply. The date has today changed in to english even though I didn't change my settings at all.

Strange, but I'm not complaining

Hey,

press refresh on the notification screen and immediately press close button to get to the standby screen. You'll see a flicker of the meecast widget as it updates itself.

This happens to me every time.
