Trying to get the Weather Skin working after the changes

Post by JohnCoool »

I saw that there was an issue a few days ago and I found the solution and followed the instructions.

The link is : https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=34689#p171870

The Skin I am testing and was working before is (Does not have green symbol in front of it): Windows 10 Weather Pro

I copied all the .inc files from @IncludeFiles.zip into the @Resources folder of the skin.

Then I edited the Latitude and Longitude in the WeatherComJSONVariables.inc file.

I got the numbers from Google maps which I use sometimes for GPS as well.

Is it all correct? Can someone give me sample locations to test that are working already?

Thanks for the tip on the updates.

They are working well.

However, the widget that is provided by electric tech is only black text and can't be seen most of the time. https://www.deviantart.com/eclectic-tech/art/Win10-Weather-Patch-2020-08-01-V3b-780236969

Does not load properly.

That requires you also have the entire Win10 Widgets Suite installed; it is a "PATCH" to correct only the weather skins, you need all of the other files for it to work correctly.

If you only want that style of weather skin, then you should download the "Stand-Alone" version.
