Web Widget Skin

[ched345]

Heya anyone, apologies if this isn't where it should be, but I've been searching for a skin that would be able to make a specific website "widget" usable as a skin. I don't know how to best explain it but I want a particular weather forecast site's information to appear as a Rainmeter skin. It is called "WillyWeather" and it gives the option to construct a widget for a html page here https://www.willyweather.com.au/widget/create.html?sid=j3h2oqe57h0qnkfk12lhmmumb6. The following code is an example as to what I want to be able to run as a skin. (I know it is ugly and not spaced out nicely)

Code: Select all

<div style="width: 300px;"><iframe style="display: block;" src="https://cdnres.willyweather.com.au/widget/loadView.html?id=44750" width="300" height="228" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><a style="z-index: 1;position: relative;margin: -20px 0 0 0;text-indent: -9999em;display: block;height: 20px" href="https://www.willyweather.com.au/nsw/sydney/bondi.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.willyweather.com.au/nsw/sydney/bondi.html</a></div>

I don't know exactly if Rainmeter is capable of hosting code like this, but if it is able to, I see potential this skin, such as if you wanted to replace the weather forecast thing with a game. Regardless I mainly want it for WillWeather.

I would just like to know if it has been done, or if it seems difficult and not worth it. If you want a better idea of what I am looking for, it was once an option in windows vista to be able to go into desktop properties and make any URL or HTML code interactive on top of the original windows desktop. So you could essentially overlay google on the desktop with all your icons still there. This guy shows it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pRJEqAZV8g&t=33s If you don't wanna watch that, the summary is that he just threw a link to google into an HTML file and put that into some "Display Properties" window and it made a google tab in his desktop.

I could downgrade to Windows Vista, but I won't. Just... No.

Thank you for the time you took to read this and thanks a bunch for any answer!

You would need to use the data from this page https://www.willyweather.com.au/info/api.html then use the Webparser to get the information you need. https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/webparser/

Take a look at some of the weather skins to get an idea on how to make a skin.
