Known Issues

The Weather widget icon is stretched when using the Appspace Windows PC client with DirectX. This issue occurs when the DirectX device is unable to interpret the negative stretch value in the widget properties.

A workaround is to change the stretch=-1 value to stretch=1 for all the properties with a stretch value in the Weather widget, as per the instructions below:

  1. Click the Properties tab, and search for all properties with the stretch=-1 value.

  2. Click the Edit button, and change all stretch=-1 values to stretch=1.

  3. Click the Finish button.
