Yep, but not this is what I need. Please pack the Sidebar folder (config) as it is inside the Skins folder and upload that package.

Hello to all :welcome:

I have now insert (Paste) Weather Alternativ V 1.0 ini.file in the Sidebar ini.file what i use. See please at the pic.

First problem why it did not show me the 3 weather forcast, and Max Temp and Min Temp, and the SunRise and SunSet alltough i have add the measur and the temp: I think the number of "StringIndex" must be wrong, but i don´t know wich number belong to wich "StringIndex"
Could you please help me to find out, what i´m doing wrong, or what did i have forget?

Or must change this:?
RegExp=(?siU)<h1 class="city.*data-reactid="7">(.*)</h1>.*<div class="My\(2px\).*60x60\/(.*)@2x.png.*data-reactid="26">(.*)<.*<span class="Va\(t\)" data-reactid="37">(.*)</span>.*"conditionCode":(.*),

Thx in advance

I don't know my way around, I would be very happy if someone could help me.

I was cut off from the internet for a couple of hours because of a local malfunction so I couldn't post this earlier, but even if you're still undecided which skin to use, I did my part - here is the weather part of Vista Sidebar "brought back to life":
Vista Rainbar (fork by Yincognito)_4.6.0.4.rmskin
(6.51 MiB) Downloaded 37 times
Preview:
Vista Rainbar.jpg
Notes:
- I only modified / updated the INI you showed you use here, i.e. Weather Gadget #3 | Style 1+ or ...\Vista Rainbar\Weather\3\1+.ini; if you want to do the others too, you'd have to either ask someone else or try it yourself
- I based my modification on the original 4.6.0.3 version here on DeviantArt (credit to poiru)
- if you want to change the weather location, units or date / time format, edit the ...\Vista Rainbar\@Resources\WeatherComJSONVariables.inc file yourself (those things are pretty self explanatory, but you can check the guides / info posted by SilverAzide if you don't know something)
- you can look and compare the added files from the \@Resources folder, and the INI file in the original skin I mentioned above with my similar but forked INI file if you want to see what should be done to "upgrade" such a skin (if you use a file comparison tool, you'll be able to notice the differences right away, and even use the things you learned to edit the other weather skin variants in the Vista Rainbar suite)

Indeed however there is a problem: when trying to activate the included SideBar.ini, nothing is shown on the screen and in log I got some "Unable to open: SomeImage" error messages. This is caused by the fact that for instance the image used as background (in the Background=#@#bg321.png option of the [Rainmeter] section) should reside in the @Resources folder, but in fact it is the root config (so in the NoWeatherInside folder). But there are some other similar mistakes as well.
So, I'm not sure now what has gone on there, but something is not alright with this skin. If the skin is loading well for you, please pack the whole SideBar folder within the Skins folder and upload the package as it is, without changing anything into it.

Now you understand why I said I wouldn't touch that skin? :D It is a complete mess, honestly, at least from a structural POV or compared to today's "standards". I managed to get it "working" (well, sort of), by copying almost all the related images Vijay posted since we started this talk right in the same folder where the INI was. I renamed a couple of icons to match their names in the INI, basically making the mess even more messy than it was, and then somehow managed to make it work on my smaller resolution monitor by applying a scaling transformation matrix to every meter in the skin (like in the other thread where you discussed this with SilverAzide). It took longer to deal with the images than with TM, since the latter was just a regex substitution in Notepad++ dealing with all meters.

Personally, I couldn't work with that skin, it was too old, broken and chaotic, even for me. Hopefully you'll be able to do it better since parts of it are codes of yours since years ago.

P.S. Unfortunately, after managing to make it show stuff, there was that break in posting here (translations and such), so after 2 days I deleted the result. If I still had it, I would have uploaded it here, but even if I did, I'm not sure you would have managed to wrap your head around the structure there - my opinion. :confused:

Yep, you are right, however I remember when we've worked with it many years ago. And then it was working well for sure. To be honest in meantime I removed it, since I wasn't using it (Mirage replaced it), so I don't have anymore a working copy of it (yes, from time to time I use to clean a little bit the Skins folder, which, since I'm installing almost daily new skins, tend to enlarge too much).
So same here: if a working package won't be posted, will be hard enough to work with it. Hope vijayFH has a such working version, but as said, the posted package can't even be activated. Or in fact can be activated, but nothing is shown on screen, due to the missing background image (placed into another location than indicated by the Background option).
So waiting for a functional package...

I managed to "recreate" my earlier "mess with the mess" approach and managed to make all 3 INI-s there "work", albeit only the original Vista glass sidebar meter.ini works properly - maybe it's of some help, although I doubt it:
Sidebar.rar

P.S. SideBar Modificated.ini also has the weather part that was deleted by Vijay recently, by the way.

Well, in fact I'm still waiting for vijayFH's SideBar, because that one is the one we (I) should work with. Thanks, but still waiting...
