Although I was unhappy with the removal of the status bar option, I knew there was one more option I could try. So I moved the Forecastfox icon to the sidebar. It is still handy although not as visually accessible as having it laid out on bottom of my window.

Today I installed the latest iteration and now I have not only the sun icon in the sidebar but an umbrella at the lower right of my window.

I don't want the umbrella as the sidebar option gives me all I need with the same effort. How do I get rid of it???

ETA: Thanks, Olesandr. That did the trick. Upgrading my rating.
