[Solved] Scrambled text in weather skin

Post by kermit »

scrambled.jpg
I'm using a slightly modified Weather skin by moxamax. While it looks ok at first, the text on the first day and sometimes the second day gets scrambled after a while. (now that im typing this the icon also got slightly scrambled) It probably happens when it updates but I haven't actually seen it happen yet. Only way to get it back to normal is to refresh the skin.
No problems with the rest of the skins you see so I'm guessing it's something in the code of this one?

Code: Select all

;Weather Status & 3-Day Forecast (TPE,TWN)

I'm using Rainmeter 1.1 rev 306 on win7 64
Any idea what might be the problem? Things I might try?

Ah I didn't see that thread, thanks a lot!
I've disabled the background line as suggested and so far that seems to have done the trick.
