Currently, the tool displays the temperature as an integer in the system tray. It would be easier to distinguish this integer as the current temperature and not a different value being displayed by a different program if there was an option to include the degree symbol and temperature scale abbreviation.

It would be great, I would love to sacrifice a bit of font size in order to get degree symbol to show — however, the difference probably would be huge

Hi @jonlandrum and @emvaized .

That topic was already discussed previously. The real problem is that the area for a tray icon is really small. The application already tries to scale the value to fill all available area, and adding more characters that don't really add meaning (you already know that it's a temperature and the units used) will make the text very small and really unreadable.

Regards,
Félix

@FelixdelasPozas
Thanks for response. Yeah, it makes total sense.

I wonder though if it's possible for TrayWeather to utilize bigger area by showing small always-on-top borderless window over taskbar, like TrafficMonitor does?

This way it could also get some space for text descriptions like in Windows 10 default weather widget.
