    2. Please reset the application and check again. On all the tests we have performed, RAM usage dropped significantly.

  2. After this update I noticed a little issue when I unlock my display from locked screen to the first home screen with this widget...
    After unlocking the widget is for a few milliseconds with different size (4x1 size) and then change back to my regular 4x2 size...
    Using android 4.4.2.

  3. Hi. After the update the look of the widget has been reseted. I change it back to my preferences, but it only applied to the main screen, not the lock screen. On the lock screen I got an ugly look and can't find how to change it. Any suggestion? Otherwise, great App.

    1. Just tried to remove the widget from the lock screen and add it again. It looked fine (like the one on the main screen) for a couple of seconds, and then revert to the previous look.
      Using a Galaxy S4 (I9500). I would love to have it working as before or revert to previous versión!
      Thank you.

    1. There were no changes on the backgrounds. Please check again and choose a transparent skin. Email us a screenshot if you still have a problem.

    1. We will add this request to the list of things to do in the future - maybe create a new skin with a thin border around.

  7. I'm liking the widget man. I do have one request though, would it be possible to make it so you could import icons and fonts from the stock AccuWeather widget? I really like the ones from the s5 stock one at full transparency, but you can only use the transparency adjustment with the stock launcher. I could pull the icons from the app and fonts for you if you like.

    1. Email us a zip file of the resources and we could design a new icon set similar to the one you are referring to. Using the same resources is not possible as they are probably copyrighted.

  8. Hi
    I cannot get this to display properly on my new LG G2 - the widget doesn't fill the width of the screen, it just shrinks to a 1x1-size icon. Running 4.4.2 and yes, my Advanced Task Manager has been set to ignore this widget.
    I had no such problems on my recent Nexus 4, just a few days ago. What have I done wrong??

    1. My buddy also tried to download this onto his Sony Experia V - same problem.

  9. I set to do manual update and every time i touch the update weather memory RAM is increased, in just one hour is uses 80 mb! Please fix it

    1. Are you using a custom ROM? How much RAM does your device have? Memory usage on different systems may vary significantly. If your device does not need any RAM, it will leave unused RAM for garbage collection. When it needs it, it runs garbage collection and claims it back from applications.

      Delete
    2. I'm not using custom Rom! My device is Xperia L android 4.2.2 and i have 1 gb ram. I usually have 450 mb free but after i starting the widget (after just one hour) it's shows me 350 mb free

  16. Galaxy S4 - Next event always shows as one day earlier than on calendar. ( Labor Day is September 1, but shows as August 31). ???

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This is a problem with calendar entries under specific configurations and happens on various applications; it is not an application specific problem. Try checking your calendar time zone settings.

  17. The real feel isn't right. Comparing it for weeks now with other sources this widget usually just displays the temperature instead of the real feel. It worked well some months ago.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The real feel is provided by the weather server; it is possible that some times is is not accurate. Try refreshing your weather data as it might be outdated.

      Delete
    2. It is not that, I have it setup so that is updates every time I wake up the phone. Location name is right, temperature is right, but Real Feel is always the same as the temperature, while other apps like Accuweather are showing several degrees deviations. Other services also confirm some deviations in the Real Feel. I hope you don't discart this issue, as I'm pretty sure there's some kind of bug here, and I otherwise love the app.

    3. Please email me with details about your location so that I can check it.

  18. Would it be possible to hide the bottom bar of the Lockscreen?

    1. The new weather interface is available in the beta version of Transparent clock & weather. The beta version is still being tested. You can get the beta version by joining the TCW beta testers community on Google+.

  20. Would like to be able to save my own themes. Otherwise nice clock.

  21. Wind speed should preferably be meter/sec (m/s) than km/h. Otherwise great widget!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Possible to fix this? No matter what setting I always get military format. The settings are correct but don't function, so stuck with it. Surely it's an easy fix? But, I have used this app for a long time and it serves me well. The issue appeared on my upgrade from the Galaxy S3 to the S5. Broken button syndrome. But love the app!

  24. It is the best weather app and widget so far but it needs some new feature like homescreen live wallpaper(using images from the app - they're cool) and it needs some improvements like cutting the upper sapce, about 0.3 - 0.4cm. Great job guys.

    1. Thank you for the feedback. We are planning to add a live wallpaper feature in a future update. Please email us for details about the upper space.
