This causes it to open a new window and lets you enter your credentials to login to your account.
The 'Weather' menu displays the current conditions in the detected geographical location, but it can retrieve the data from various other places around the world, using information provided by Foreca.

At the same time, you can click on the 'News' menu and view the trending stories on BBC. These are also displayed live next to the RSS button, in single lines. The 'Facebook' menu allows you to connect to your profile and view your notifications or chat with friends, without having to open a new window.
