The 'General' window is where you decide if you want to change your display format to metric, how the program starts, shutting down automatic updates(!), and generally just how it acts and displays.


The double tabbed 'Tray Icon' and 'Tray Click Settings' window area allows you to change the function and appearance of the tray icon, taking into consideration color, font, borders, offsets etc. Under the 'Tray Click Settings' tab, you can adjust exactly what event happens when you single and double click on those tray icons. Here's a screenshot of the second tab with a list showing the configurations available:


The 'Tray Tool-Tip' window gives you the ability to select what information is shown in the balloon when you mouse over the temperature icon. Note the red warning about Microsofts limitation on the amount of characters allowed in the tool-tip. I would assume that this means you can't check off EVERYTHING! Well, I did and here's the result on the mouse over:


The 'Enhanced Tool Tray' section allows you to design exactly what you will see via a scripting language, a list of which is available from the 'Variables' button at the bottom. Just type in what you want it to say and place an approprate script symbol. Here's a few screenshots of this window , the script window and the end result showing at the bottom of my desktop. I think you'll get the idea by comparing the screenshots:


Weather Pulse will also give you severe weather alerts as released by the weather source for your area. They can be displayed through the toolbar, produce an audiable warning plus WeatherPulse has the ability to send you an e-mail of the severe alert as well as your regular forecast. Great for mailing to your cell phone when you're on the go! Here's a couple of screenshots of both the severe weather alert window as well as the e-mail configuration window:



Just in case there's a meteorologist hiding inside of you, WeatherPulse lets you configure one of many available maps as your wallpaper! This is automatically updated as your setting permit in the program and is a great way to teach kids how our atmosphere really works and changes here on earth. Here's a pic of the wallpaper configuration window:


... and if that isn't enough ways to get your weather to you with this program, WeatherPulse offers a 'Desklet' which is basically a box with the temperature and current conditions set on your desktop. Here's a screenshot of my desktop with the 'Desklet' open along with the great freeware calendar program 'Rainlendar':
