Found the problem! Find the file "digatmos.mnu" in your "C:\Program Files\DigAtmEquinox" folder. Use a text editor (Windows Notepad) and open the file and you will see this:

# The Standard Version is limited to a maximum of 100 menu commands.
# The Professional Version does not have any limits.
#
# Do not create more than 20 main categories
#
# SPECIAL TITLE SUFFIXES
# %1 = Marks the sea-level pressure analysis for tool bar shortcut SLP
# %2 = Marks the temperature (C) analysis for tool bar shortcut DEG C
# %3 = Marks the temperature (F) analysis for tool bar shortcut DEG F
#

Temperature (deg F) %3 |CONT CINT=2 COLOR=200:0:0 DASH DEGF TEMP
Potential temperature (deg K) |CONT CINT=1 COLOR=2000 DOTS LINE=2 THTA
Wind chill (deg F) |CONT CINT=5 COLOR=0:0:200 DOTS WCHL
Wind chill (deg C) |CONT CINT=5 COLOR=0:0:200 DOTS DEGC WCHL

Min temperature 6 h (deg F) %3 |CONT CINT=2 COLOR=200:0:0 DASH DEGF TN06
Max temperature 24 h (deg F) %3 |CONT CINT=2 COLOR=200:0:0 DASH DEGF TX24
Min temperature 24 h (deg F) %3 |CONT CINT=2 COLOR=200:0:0 DASH DEGF TN24

Notice the # comment regarding %2 and %3 which is referring to the Deg F and Deg C icons on the task bar. Now look down under the "Temperature" scripts and you will see that the first two entries are referencing the two task bar icons. The problem is that the %2 and %3 have also been added to the "Max" and "Min" temperature scripts. Using the text editor, delete "%2 or %3" and then save the file. It should now look like this:

Temperature
Temperature (deg C) %2 |CONT CINT=2 COLOR=200:0:0 DASH TEMP
Temperature (deg F) %3 |CONT CINT=2 COLOR=200:0:0 DASH DEGF TEMP

Tim, another "to do" to add to your patch list.

After posting this comment, I noticed that the program deleted the space between the name of the script and the actual script which makes it confusing. Refer to your original digatmos.mnu file.

Thanks much, Greg. I'll make sure this gets in there.

Hi Greg,
thanks for this solution

Remark,
the file "digatmos.mnu" was not fixed in Digital Atmosphere - v2.01 | Professional.
