Weather on your desktop and menubar. Please keep in mind that this software is still under extensive development.
Many of the planned, incomplete, and even some of the completed features that will be available in the full version have not been included here. Although we look forward to introducing these exciting features to users in the near future, that is not the intent of this release.
Our hope is that all users of this software will aid its development by notifying us of any bugs, inconsistencies, and conflicts that arise while using Weather Desk.
This will allow us to refine the core of the software, allowing future versions to be free of major bugs.
Weather Desk also allows you to load images of Earth and the moon.
Main features:
- First Launch Open the Weather Desk application before using the menu extra for the first time. Currently, nearly all error-checking and initial set-up is done from within the main application. This will change in the future, but for now...
- Menu Extra Before launching the menu extra, we recommend disabling "Show time connected," and "Show status while connecting" in the remote access menu. The remote access menu, if it is enabled, appears as a "telephone" icon in your status bar. The status bar does not handle multiple animations very well, and may "flash" if you leave these options on.
- Locations To add, edit, or remove locations, open the Stations window by selecting "Edit" from the "Stations" menu.
- Groups Weather Desk allows you to assign each location to a group. For example, if several cities in our list were nearby, we could place them together in a group called "Local." To edit your groups, simply select "Edit" from the "Groups" menu in the Stations window.
- Icons Setting different icons for different locations allows you to quickly find stations when switching to another location. It also looks nice. To add or change an icon, simply drag & drop any file or folder onto the image well in the Add/Edit window. Note: If you drop an image file onto the well, the image will be used and not the file icon.
- APOD The astronomy picture of the day will load automatically when you select "A.P.O.D." from the toolbar. Clicking on the Preview button will load a high-resolution version of the image in Preview.app (or your default image-handling application). Note: This is a cached image. If you would like to save this image, simply select "Save as..." or "Export" from the "File" menu in Preview.
- Earth/Moon Viewer This feature allows you to load images of Earth and the moon. You can view the Earth as it appears from any of the locations in your list, from a set of coordinates (lat/long), from the night side, from the day side, or from the moon.
- As with the APOD, saving an image requires that you export/save in Preview. The larger images sizes will not be entirely visible in Weather Desks window and can be viewed in preview.
- Note: the live images do not show cloud cover/activity. They do show surface terrain, city lights (night side), and other details. Cloud cover, water vapor, and similar features will be available in a future update via the "Satellite Imagery" feature.
- Nexrad Radar The radar feature in this version is limited, but will allow radar images to be loaded from any radar site in the US. A future update will allow you to choose from at least 6 types of radar imagery and will have, if possible, international support.
- Desktop Images This release of Weather Desk can automatically set your desktop to an updated image of the Earth (while the menu extra is open). You can set the altitude, image size, update frequency, and image source from the Preferences window.
- New Buttons You should notice that several small buttons now appear below any image view. These allow you to open the image in Preview, set it as your desktop image, or visit the home page of the service from which they are being downloaded. Not all of these options are available for each image.

ConverTable Planets is designed to answer that age-old question, "if a widget weighs 34 stones on Earth, just how many troy ounces would that widget weigh on Mars?" In doing so, ConverTable Planets could be used to teach about unit conversions and gravity.
Main features:
- Find out how much you would weigh on the Moon, Mars, and 24 other places in the solar system.
- View the planets and included moons in their true relative sizes!
- Learn how many Venusian (or Martian, Saturnian, etc.) years old you are!
- Planets included (the whole solar system, of course!): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
- Moons included: Earths Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Iapetus, Miranda, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, Triton, and Charon.
- Several mass and weight units are available: kilograms, pounds, grams, milligrams, stones, troy ounces, slugs, newtons, metric tons, and metric carats.
- Brief discussion of the common "mass or weight" language confusion, and what exactly is a "year."
- French localized version available.
Enhancements:
- added "Year Conversions" function to compare year (orbital period) lengths on the planets.
- improved some planet and moon descriptions
- added planet and moon datasets which appear in the "Year Conversions" section
- changed to a primarily single-window interface.

An orrery is a device that models the postion of the Sun and Moon (and sometimes other planets as well) in the Zodiac.
That is what this Widget does, but it also allows to travel forward through time to see time pass before your eyes.
Clicking on the text will also display detailed rise/set/transit times. Make sure your location is set correctly in the preference panel or it wont know where you are!
Enhancements:
- Universal
- Quicker to update when activating Dashboard.

From a high school in Diekirch (Luxembourg), which is equipped with a state-of-the-art meterological station that sends all its data almost-live to the Internet.

See http://meteo.lcd.lu for more information.

The purpose of this widget is to display temperature and pressure, as measured in Diekirch. Values are updated every 30 minutes.

The widget also graphically displays the actual weather in Diekirch. In the evening, the actual moon phase is displayed!
