StormTicker Standard v1.2.3

StormTicker Standard 1.2.3

• Feed Edit Live Propagation — editing a channel URL or tag now waits for the dialog to close and refreshes all loaded skins; the new feed appears within seconds.
• Metric/Imperial Toggle Fix — the unit switcher refreshed skins via an invalid config path (forward slashes); the refresh silently never fired. Units now propagate live.
• Scroll Speed Clarification — the speed selector label now reads "(Box mode only)" in all three languages: per-channel speeds drive individual Box rows, while Panoramic streams at a shared uniform rate.

StormTicker Standard v1.2.2

StormTicker Standard 1.2.2

• In-Skin Header Tooltips — hovering the mode-toggle and the SOURCES button now shows a themed tooltip inside the title bar, in English, Portuguese and Spanish (matching StormTicker Pro).
• Theme renamed to Wall Street — the default theme now uses the Pro naming (Box Wall Street / Panoramic Wall Street).
• Headline Tooltip Alignment Fix — headline tooltips reset text alignment to left after a header tooltip was displayed.

StormTicker v1.2.1 - Live Coordinates, Geocoding & Unit Toggle Fixes

⚡ StormTicker v1.2.1 — Patch Release

Bug-fix release addressing field reports from the community — most notably weather coordinates that appeared to "do nothing" when entered in Settings.

🔧 Fixes

• Live Weather Coordinates: Latitude/longitude now propagate instantly to all active skins via remote variable binding — entering new coordinates updates the weather within seconds (previously required a full skin reload).
• Reverse Geocoding Fixed: Added the missing RegExp on the MeasureGeocoding WebParser parent measure — city names now resolve correctly after coordinate input.
• Unit Toggle Crash: Replaced an undefined WriteIniKey helper call that silently crashed the metric ↔ imperial switch in Settings.
• Input Validation: Malformed coordinate input now shows a localized hint (EN/PT/ES) instead of failing silently.
