If you click on the weather plugin icon in the panel when the 'Weather Update' window is open, it will do nothing. I would expect it to hide the icon. This would seem to be a usabiliy 'standard' these days, though I haven't exactly researched this. A model for this would be the date time plugin, where the calendar will show, then hide on subsequent click. Many thanks for your work. grepper
Created attachment 4443 xfce4-weather-plugin-forecast-toggle-open-close.patch When the forecast window is shown and has the focus, a second click on the panel plugin will close it. The window can still be closed by clicking on the dialog or the window manager decoration close button. When it is shown but does not have the focus, bring it to the front instead of closing it.
I tested it and it works great for me. Thanks so much. I don't know whether this is appropriate here, but I created an 'unofficial' debian package (debian sid) from the original debian source for my personal use: http://phebehouse.dyndns.org/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.7.4-3+grepper_i386.deb so anyone using debian sid (possibly debian 'testing' too) could try it if they wish. all the best, grepper
Fixed differently (only toggle show/hide, no activate) in http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/commit/?id=78eb3300efe9ce0cc7246c5fe84800a143ae1842, this way it's a bit better to use for focus-follows-mouse users.
