Tested on OS build 22000.434.
New features
- Implemented Weather widget for the classic taskbar, similar to what is available in the more recent updates to Windows 10. Read more about it here.
Feature enhancements
- The weather widget recomputes its area automatically, by default, in order to fit its contents, instead of remaining at a fixed size; there is also an option to choose between the two behaviors (.1)
- Possibility to disable the icon in the weather widget (.1)
- The weather widget defaults to showing in the preferred language set in Windows, instead of English (#734) (.2)
- The weather widget shows an error screen when an error happens (like, using an incorrect location, or the network not working etc) (.3)
Fixes
- Fixed a bug that prevented the weather widget flyout from displaying correctly when the taskbar was using small icons (#741) (.1)
- Fixed inconsistencies when displaying the weather widget and the system themes are disabled (aka the classic theme is used) (.1)
- Screen readers now read the weather data when requested for the weather widget (.1)
- Changing the Start button style or weather widget layout does not toggle taskbar auto-hide now; instead, the settings take effect immediately (.1)
- Fixed a bug that could corrupt registry entries of type REG_SZ set via the Properties UI (#734) (.2)
- Fixed a bug that reset the setting when pressing "Cancel" in an input box in the Properties UI (#734) (.2)
- The weather widget adjusts its size vertically to accommodate the entire contents (#734) (.3)
