Let me answer this one, please, because it's not correct. Also, for an eternal beginner with Rainmeter, those syntax differences you want him to do will confuse him more. I'm trying my best to not let him transform this skin too into a mess, bear with me.balala wrote: ↑July 24th, 2021, 6:09 pm It probably is, but what should be taken into account is that both the !Rainmeter... bang prefix and the !Execute bang have been deprecated long time ago and shouldn't be used. However note that this for sure doesn't prevent the skins to work. And additionally it is recommended to replace the old IfActions with the newer IfConditions. Something like this:Code: Select all
[MeasureBlack] Measure=Calc Formula=(((( MeasureTime + MeasureZone ) < MeasureSunR ) || (( MeasureTime + MeasureZone ) > ( MeasureSunS + 13 +1 ))) ? 1 : (-1)) IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#>=0) IfTrueAction=[!ShowMeter "Black"][!HideMeter "Blue"][!ShowMeter "BlackDeco"][!HideMeter "BlueDeco"][!Redraw] IfFalseAction=[!HideMeter "Black"][!ShowMeter "Blue"][!HideMeter "BlackDeco"][!ShowMeter "BlueDeco"][!Redraw]

Re: Weather Skins Not Working
What is not correct? Did I make a mistake? However I agree with you related to syntax differences.Yincognito wrote: ↑July 24th, 2021, 6:22 pm Let me answer this one, please, because it's not correct.

Re: Weather Skins Not Working
In meantime I figured out I have old backups of my Documents folder, which are including the SideBar, as we have it back on 02/08/2020. I just recovered it and it seems the skin is working, including the weather section. Although there are errors in log, the skin is working. I'm attaching it, please MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SIDEBAR (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! - for instance rename the old SideBar folder to SideBar-OLD, or whatever else), copy the content of the attached package into your Skins folder, refresh all, then try out what you get.
Does it working? If it is and you like what you got, we have to take a look to the mentioned error messages.
So this is the recovered package: https://www.filefactory.com/file/4o9j9qjlkbby/SideBar.zip

Re: Weather Skins Not Working
Yes, but like I said, you should change the Full.png to Full Moon.png as well, not just the one that ends with +.
No. All those measures that I mentioned should look like this:
Code: Select all
[MeasureBlack]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) < MeasureSunR) || ((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) > (MeasureSunS)) ? (1) : (-1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter Black][!RainmeterHideMeter Blue][!RainmeterShowMeter BlackDeco][!RainmeterHideMeter BlueDeco][!RainmeterRedraw]
IfBelowValue=0
IfBelowAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Black][!RainmeterShowMeter Blue][!RainmeterHideMeter BlackDeco][!RainmeterShowMeter BlueDeco][!RainmeterRedraw]
[MeasureOrange]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) = MeasureSunR) || ((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) = (MeasureSunS)) ? (1) : (-1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter Orange][!RainmeterShowMeter OrangeDeco][!RainmeterRedraw]
IfBelowValue=0
IfBelowAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Orange][!RainmeterHideMeter OrangeDeco][!RainmeterRedraw]
[MeasureOrange2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) < MeasureSunR) || ((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) > (MeasureSunS))) || ((MeasureIconDef = 29) || (MeasureIconDef = 30) || (MeasureIconDef = 31) || (MeasureIconDef = 32) || (MeasureIconDef = 33) || (MeasureIconDef = 34) || (MeasureIconDef = 36) || (MeasureIconDef = 37) || (MeasureIconDef = 39) || (MeasureIconDef = 44)) ? (1) : (-1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Orange2][!RainmeterRedraw]
IfBelowValue=0
IfBelowAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter Orange2][!RainmeterRedraw]
[MeasureEtoiles]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) < MeasureSunR) || ((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) > (MeasureSunS))) && ((MeasureIconDef = 27) || (MeasureIconDef = 29) || (MeasureIconDef = 31) || (MeasureIconDef = 33) || (MeasureIconDef = 34) || (MeasureIconDef = 45) || (MeasureIconDef = 46) || (MeasureIconDef = 47)) ? (1) : (-1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter Etoiles][!RainmeterRedraw]
IfBelowValue=0
IfBelowAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Etoiles][!RainmeterRedraw]
[MeasureMoon]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) < MeasureSunR) || ((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) > (MeasureSunS))) && ((MeasureIconDef=31) || (MeasureIconDef=32) || (MeasureIconDef=33) || (MeasureIconDef=34) || (MeasureIconDef=36)) ? (1) : (-1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter Moon][!RainmeterRedraw]
IfBelowValue=0
IfBelowAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Moon][!RainmeterRedraw]
[MeasureSun]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) > (MeasureSunR - 1)) && ((MeasureTime + MeasureZone) < (MeasureSunS + 1))) && ((MeasureIconDef=31) || (MeasureIconDef=32) || (MeasureIconDef=33) || (MeasureIconDef=34) || (MeasureIconDef=36)) ? (1) : (-1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter Sun][!RainmeterRedraw]
IfBelowValue=0
IfBelowAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Sun][!RainmeterRedraw]
Yeah, this was more for situations where the latitude and longitude are set in the middle of the ocean, but the refresh effect is nice to have as well - glad you like it.
That's simple: just change the + from the Substitute line in [MeasureWeatherIcon1], [MeasureWeatherIcon2] and [MeasureWeatherIcon3] to sm - that's all. So, they would look like:
Substitute="^990":"..\img\","088$":"sm.png"
I won't help you with that, sorry - you'd have to ask someone else. If you wanted to do that and use Yahoo in Vista Rainbar, you should have said it from the start. It's true you posted a Yahoo link to the location where you live, but you didn't say that you want the skin to use Yahoo. Now, it's too late, I won't rewrite again what I just rewrite earlier. I hope I was clear.
Yes, you can add them, just make sure the meters you add have their MeasureName options set accordingly to the name of the measures. You can add LOTS of other meters, if you want - for a full list, see what you need to write in their MeasureName option in ...\Vista Rainbar\@Resources\MeasureNamesReference.txt. Or, you can look at the Skins Tab from Rainmeter to see what measures (basically, any that starts with a @) can you use in the new meters you create:
Yes, but NOT the way you posted! Check my description above.
The 0.png and 1+.png errors only happen a single time when you refresh, because the WebParser measures didn't YET get the data from the internet. The errors are harmless and don't produce any negative effects - you can ignore them. I could tell you what to do to get rid of them, but it will confuse you and won't bring any benefit, since things work fine already.
Yeah, very good. That is exactly what you should do - I'm glad you understood that.

Re: Weather Skins Not Working
It's not that you had something incorrect in your code, it's that apparently you both misunderstood what I meant with those modifications, see the code I posted here earlier. Sorry for the misunderstanding...

Re: Weather Skins Not Working
No problem, no need to feel sorry for it. But...
You should need to feel sorry for the fact that someone worked in vain for 2 (!!!) skins, just because you didn't know you had the working Sidebar in one of your backups, LOL. For the love of god, don't you have a catalogue utility that you can add all your storage media to and find what you need with a single Search click?! If you want, I can recommend you one, so that you have such information for the future, you know...balala wrote: ↑July 24th, 2021, 6:34 pmIn meantime I figured out I have old backups of my Documents folder, which are including the SideBar, as we have it back on 02/08/2020.

P.S. Just curious, what kind of backup you talked about? One made by a backup utility (e.g. Acronis or others similar) or just some files and folders on a hard drive?

Re: Weather Skins Not Working
Ok, I'm sorry again, but from time to time I tend to forget things, like this time for instance. Probably sometimes should renounce coming with solutions...Yincognito wrote: ↑July 24th, 2021, 7:35 pm You should need to feel sorry for the fact that someone worked in vain for 2 (!!!) skins, just because you didn't know you had the working Sidebar in one of your backups, LOL.
Backup made with Symantec System Recovery (successor of Norton Ghost, if you know it).Yincognito wrote: ↑July 24th, 2021, 7:35 pm P.S. Just curious, what kind of backup you talked about? One made by a backup utility (e.g. Acronis or others similar) or just some files and folders on a hard drive?

Re: Weather Skins Not Working
Well, what's done is done. I don't have the slightest problem with posting solutions or forgetting things, it's just that it was a pity that there was a search for a solution when the solution was there all along, that's all. But it happens, from time to time, after all it's not such a big deal.
Yep, I know about Norton Ghost, I even used it back in the day. I thought there was some (zipped or not) folder forgotten somewhere - for that, and a lot others, there are tools that make nice and VERY useful catalogues with the contents of all kinds of storage media (e.g. CD, DVD, HDD, SSD, etc). Unfortunately, the tool I was thinking of can't "scan" actual backups made with a backup utility, unless some classic compressed system is used by the utility or you export a list of files from that backup in a TXT or something. That being said, such a tool is a real time saver, extremely useful - never wondered where something was for decades now, it helps me find burried stuff in a matter of seconds.
