Well I tried that but it didn't fix the problem with needing sudo. I actually do need to use it in the exec line if I'm using sudo or the app shows up looking very weird.

I've tried most combinations too, some of which include

Exec=/usr/bin/weather
Exec=sudo /usr/bin/weather
Exec=sudo weather
Exec=weather
Exec=run-standalone.sh weather

and none of them work.... no idea where to even look for help
