Temperature in system tray should show selected location.
Overview:
The temperature in the system tray is showing the temperature for the automatically detected location. Even after adding another location and selecting that location (so it pops-up when I click on the icon), it does not show the selected location. It keeps showing the temperature of the automatically detected location.
Acceptance Criteria:
Make the system tray show the temperature of the selected location (either auto-detect or a location that I add manually).
Steps to Duplicate ( required for bug reports ):
Obvious.

Reopening Issue.
Previously closed as I was planning on closing down the app for being too expensive for me to run, but going to see if Community Support via donations can at least pay the server bills I have to keep this free app running for folks.
I'm not on Windows 11 so it's possible you're experiencing something different than I am, but I think your problem is simply that the process for setting your primary location isn't as obvious as it should be.
I spent much longer than I wish to admit looking for this "default/primary" functionality; I knew it must exist, but I couldn't figure it out. Then, when looking through existing GitHub Issues, I stumbled upon the following in https://github.com/manifestinteractive/weather-bar-app/issues/48:
So... go to your "Saved Locations", hover over the location whose temperature you want in the tray icon, then click the ⭐ icon. You'll be prompted to "Use this as your Primary Location?", to which you can click the "PRIMARY" button.
When I do this, the temperature icon in the taskbar changes immediately
Random thoughts that I certainly won't implement, but someone should:
- The README should point out this critical feature
- The ⭐and 🗑️ icons should always display in the Saved Locations interface, not just when hovering
