Note: You may have to specify that the EBTWeather file has execute permission:

chmod +x EBTWeather

Launching Minimized

If you want the app to launch minimized, for example if it's launched as a Windows startup app, specify a --minimize argument in the shortcut or command line:

Launch EBT Weather Minimized in Windows

The --minimize argument works in Windows and Linux.
