Meter overlays widget icon in the systray

Thank you for the new version

I see the problem on all of my PCs. The meter overlays the widget icon in the systray.

Interesting, usually the weather is on the other side of the taskbar, is this a default behavior? I'm not sure how to address it at this point and I'm already working on the next update. I'll have to think about this, in the meanwhile may I suggest dragging the NST widget to the desired location :)

Yes it is the default position if you set the "Tasklistenausrichtung to Linksbündig". The position is fix.

I really tried, but it seems like a difficult task to get the windows widget to "identify" itself and get its size and location. I wish I had better news. I'll put it on the backlog to try and address again later. For now - users with taskbar alignment to the left will have to move the widget manually, the good news is that once moved that position is remembered.

First of all, thank you for providing this handy utility.
I have the start icon at the left of the taskbar, and when the taskbar fills up with the icons of open apps, they collide with the speed meter and both become illegible. If I only have a few things open, then it is fine, but when the taskbar is filled, it collides and becomes unreadable.

That's an interesting problem jahnson, I don't have a quick solution at the moment, the widget isn't actually a part of the taskbar, it overlays on top. windows won't allow embedding, and I don't have a quick solution to "reserve" the space for it on the taskbar, I'll have to think about it. thanks for the report!
