I'm new to this tool, and am having some difficulty in creating a weather skin. I am using some code from the WXDataWeather skin by JSMorley, and using another skin, Elegancy Gray from HipHopium as inspiration for formatting and Icons. Everything was good, until I reched a point where no more meters will show up in the skin. Not sure what would cause this to happen. Also, a side note: I'm having a bit of an issue with positioning; I'm using an arrow font to show wind direction, but not sure I have positioned it correctly, and it seems to be causing trouble with the positions of elements around it, which may be the reason I can't get the whole wind string to display.
Any help I can get with this would be very much appreciated. I have included a link to download the .rmskin below.

Re: Meters not being drawn on screen after adding to file
The issue is the SkinWidth and SkinHeight here:
Adjust those values as needed...
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
SkinWidth=251
SkinHeight=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

Re: Meters not being drawn on screen after adding to file
I tried editing the skin height, and that didn't seem to help. I then added the dynamic window size which also didn't seem to do anything in this case. Not sure if I should have the dynamic window size there if the skin width and height are set, seems like it wouldn't be necessary.jsmorley wrote:The issue is the SkinWidth and SkinHeight here:

Thank you sooooo much! I changed the ImagePath to ImageName, and it worked!!! Now the icon appears as it should.
Very very much appreciate the response!

Okay, so here's a screenshot of the current skin:nosanctuary wrote:Thank you sooooo much! I changed the ImagePath to ImageName, and it worked!!! Now the icon appears as it should.

As you can see, the next line is now showing.
However, two lines above, the Wind Direction arrow seems to move around a bit - and I'm not sure how to fix that.
Also, and it may be related - instead of 12 mph, it should be saying Wind 12 mph. Part of it is being cut off. I did try adding a line for the width, but that didn't seem to help. That's what makes me think it might be due to the arrow, or alignment.
