Using two weather skins and only one loads at start up

[adewsetoo]

Title. In the first skin I set the UpdateRate to 60 and it boots no problem. I have a second skin running to provide the weekly forecast next to it and sometimes it loads at start up, sometimes it does not.

I tried entering in "UpdateRate=60" under the [Rainmeter] section in the base .ini file, and tried the same in the skin's settings file. Haven't figured out the problem but, in fairness, I'm incredibly green to Rainmeter.

Any help?

I tried entering in "UpdateRate=60" under the [Rainmeter] section in the base .ini file, and tried the same in the skin's settings file. Haven't figured out the problem but, in fairness, I'm incredibly green to Rainmeter.

UpdateRate is not a valid option into the [Rainmeter] section. It can be used into a WebParser measure or / and a Ping plugin measure, but not into the [Rainmeter] section (in fact it can be added to the [Rainmeter] section as well, but has no effect).
Which are the two skins you have problems with? Because usually you can use more weather skins, I have more and even if I'm using currently just one, if I load a second one, both are working with no problems. So which are the skins you are talking about?

[adewsetoo]

I botched up a version of Mini Weather under the "The Old Design" preset to just display the current weather and a green bar. Next to it is JDWS-02, the Annen preset, and I also changed the color of some of the top content to be invisible so it only shows the weekly forecast.

Sometimes at startup the skins look like this: https://imgur.com/gzsD7XK

Sometimes at startup (or if I just refresh the skin), it will also look like the set up is intended to: https://imgur.com/wdqqgCn

Please pack both configs you have problems with and upload the package here, to can see what's going on.

[adewsetoo]

This is, quite literally, the first time I've ever done this or ever even heard "pack the config" with respect to Rainmeter terms so I did a quick forum search and hope this is what you meant. Let me know if I need to resubmit. Between the two previously mentioned skins, it's just the attached one that is the issue.

Yep, this is it, however even a simple .zip / .rar would have been fine. But this is good as well.
However there is another problem (or two in fact):

• The package includes only one config, but you said there are two weather skins, which you can't load (or don't work) simultaneously. So I need one more (probably, right?).
• The package includes more skins, which is the weather skin (because I can't identify it about the name - to be honest I can't even identify the language)?

[adewsetoo]

Here's the other skin I'm using. I didn't upload it because, like I said, this one is working just fine. It's everything to the left of the green bar that is a recurring 50/50 issue.

Regarding the first package I uploaded... yeah, I'm not sure what jibberish any of the folders means. Dutch, maybe? Anyways...

There are four subcategories to the problem skin:
"Annen"
"Eelde"
"Leek"
"Peize"

And there should be a "Settings.ini". The one that I'm using is called "Annen" and I made the top most portions invisible.

Does that help?

[balala]

Does that help?

Does and doesn't, because for me all included skins are working, even the ones belonging to the first package:

Tried more refreshes, reloads, but found no problems, the skins are always working.
So, not sure what to say. Does anyone else has the described problems?

[adewsetoo]

See that is so weird. For me it still wants to work about half the time. I just got home, booted up the rig, and the reports populated just fine but today's "high temperature" for Thu doesn't want to load regardless of how many times I refresh it.

I know I'm totally new to this stuff but there's obviously something I'm missing...

Starting somewhere in the afternoon weather.com no longer displays the high temperature for today.
The high temperature will be displayed again, somewhere the next morning.
This is how the weather.com website works.
Other weather providers like Yahoo or Foreca display the high temperature for today throughout the day.
When you see that the high temperature for today is no longer displayed, access the weather.com website enter your location and you will see that the high temperature is not displayed.
So... the skin works well.
