have skin from DD.921 and the Cold theme

Post by skorpio07 »

So i have the Engen "Cold" rainmeter theme and only need to change one thing. the temperature is in Celcius, how to i make that convert into Fahrenheit? i can successfully get into the settings.ini and changed the C to F, but that doesn't change the actual temperature. how can i do that?

Have you refreshed the skin? Such changes come into effect when you refresh the skin.

In Variables.ini file in the Resources folder, change "M" (metric - temperatures into Celsius) to "Unit=", with "i" ((imperial - temperatures in Fahrenheit).
Then, in the Weather.ini in the Weather folder, go to [Weather] and to "Text =" replace C with F.
Save,Close and Refresh skin.

Depends on what are we talking about. I suppose the skin in cause is a weather skin (which is most probably, but not absolutely sure), but skorpio07 said:

If what he has changed is the same Unit setting you're talking about, then neither with c, nor with f the temperature isn't returned in Celsius. The only setting which brings the temperature in Celsius is m, all others return it in Fahrenheit, because Fahrenheit is the default temperature scale on Weather.com.
That's why I said we should take a look to the skin. If we would know which skin are we talking about...

What I wrote in my post refers to this skin.

If it is, what have you wrote is indeed what skorpio07 should do.
For people asking for help: always post please a skin name and a link where we can download the skin you're asking help for. Not we should figure out what skin are you talking about: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28421#p148358
