Does anyone know if theres a setting or reason why Journal Bar only shows 2 days of forecast information? I see data for 2 days followed by 3 question marks. I'm running Journal Bar 1.3 and synchronizing data for Vancouver, Canada.

I'd like to create a shortcut which takes me directly to the screen that I see when I tap Start > Settings. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I don't want a shortcut that goes to an applet inside of control panel, just the main control panel screen...

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

I think it has something to do with the server it connects to for Canadian forcasts. The server only provides two days. I guess everyone else uses the closest U.S city to thiers. Try that, I will atleast get you 5 day forcasts.

As for the second queston I'm not sure how to do that or if its possible. Maybe some can help you out.

Weather Today supports 5 day forecasts for Canada. In addition, you don't need postal codes (or whatever) to select a city.

Their web site is at www.rdfo.com/wt. I think you can also download a free, fully functional, demo version from there as well.

I get the 5 day forcast, but find it is not exactly on the mark. I may try setting it to the city 20 miles from me that I work in rather than my obscure little area.
