@Ftjwinfs Unfortunately I think they will never change this. This thread has 14k plus views and going for a very long time, there is so much interest in having model picker sticky or at least always visible but devs just have some other reasons not to implement this.

I have made myself a javascript code which holds model opened in the browser indefinetely. Works fine but does not work ofc. in the mobile app.

Meanwhile I have canceled my premium subscriptions. I will not pay for something which makes me nervous while using it.

If you need a script for a browser you can use cgpt plus tempermonkey add-on.

Wow!!!

Do you like to share, how you did this via javascript or how specifically I can do this via an addon?

Regarding the response from Windy: I'm really fed up with their design decisions. They have dumbed down the tool a lot over the last years....

I find this really, really annoying. What do you think about this?

With the browser version
The list of models that you can open at bottom right corner of screen stay open.
The list of models below the detailed forecast panel stay open

Really? That is interesting. For me the list of models closes after a few seconds (Windy in Browser).

With the mobile app:
The pinned list of models stays open, but not on iPhone.
The list of models below the detailed forecast panel closes automatically.

@zlatokoza
So I have deleted my previous post

As you showed model switcher work, and it always worked. Only thing before was that you can select location and switch model just with one click and see detailed forecasts at a location.

I am not sure why you say it stays opened.

For me this is not the case. Tested in chrome, it vanishes after few seconds when not focused with the mouse pointer. Unless there is some other way to pin it...

You can switch between the models
For me the windows of model list on iPad stay open.

I have made myself a tempermoneky script to solve this for myself. It may got broken from release to release but at least makes the windy usable.

@Suty Exactly, I mean this whole issue of the new approach to change the weather model.

• Before: One click to change the model.
• Intermediate approach: A menu that open on click to then select the model.
• Now: A new horizontal bar with full length across the screen which shows available models. This task-bar automatically closes after a number of seconds.

I assume, that some developer really, really loves his new horizontal bar...

Please, at least deactivate the "feature", that the bar automatically vanishes/closes after a certain number of seconds. It seriously drives me crazy, when apps think they know better than myself what I want. If I open the bar to see different models I DO NOT want it to vanish after a number of seconds. I want it to stay open, until I BY MYSELF decide to close it.

Thank you.

@Suty since the selection bar for the weather models still automatically vanishes, every word from my cited post above is still valid.

Any news on this?

;)

Would it be possible that you share what the reasons were to implement (and keep) the current approach?

some AI agent suggested so..

Really, really sad, that the developers apparently cannot unterstand our constructive feedback.

@Windy Team: Please keep user interaction with core functionality as is. To be more precise, revert some of the negative things, that were introduced during the last weeks (see above).

Thank you.

You can do that in early stages of development, but people are now using the product at a large scale. You cannot just change the UX every few days, or move functionality around all the time - it pisses people off. Look at Debian: One big update every 2 years. In between, mostly bug fixes, polishing, etc.

Of course you can still do stuff. But you've got to be a bit more cautious. This was one of those 'not so well thought out' things. It has a serious impact on UX. It may look slick, but it's all about how it's actually used.
