Some one said that about Cumulus Realtime (which is effectively the same thing). I was quite hurt
I was trying to be complimentary... in fact yours are better than the ones in Startrek

It's the non-standard screen size of your netbook. I've done the best I can. I might come up with a way to improve it later.
The screen would of actually fitted as it was high off the bottom, hard to describe, but the gap between the bottom of the window and the task bar is about the same as the menu bar - it was as if the origin of the window was off screen. It was easy enough to get it to fit, just move the cursor over the RH edge until it changed to the arrows and click - the window re-sized juts enough to grab the menu bar and drag it down. The resolution of the screen is 1024 x 600 which is standard for netbooks

It can hang up if you don't have any data, but if you had data, I've no idea what the cause was.
Yes I had the station connected and it had downloaded date

the background goes to a gradient, and the text stays white. Something to do with your graphics card or driver, possibly. Do you get any other graphics funnies?
Agreed, the button does indeed have a gradient, but on my PC the text is black on a black to gray gradient making it practically unreadable - The graphics chipset is basic, but it I've not noticed any issues like this before.

Rainfall can be funny the first time you run it. Did you import your old data?
No date was imported, this was a fresh install on the netbook and a first time connection to the station (C1 is running on my main PC)

That's good; Cumulus 1 doesn't cope with the station being disconnected either; we like backwards compatibility
. But seriously: I'm in the middle of a complete restructure of Cumulus 2, so the next release will probably fail in all kinds of different ways. If i get a minute I'll see if I can reproduce that.
Some error trapping possibly ? - notice that if you launch C2 without the station connected it launches a pop up stating no station found - maybe any error trap could do the same rather than crash the application

Yes, Cumulus 1 is the same. I tried to make it work (in C1), but it caused problems so I gave up. As C2 is completely different, I'll have a go at making it work with that at some point; and also maybe cope sensibly with the station being disconnected and reconnected in mid-operation.
No doubt these things seem easy to us non-programmers, but in reality requires a lot of work... hopefully the support and suggestions you get from the forum members will keep you motivation going
