Hi Yincognito
I have been downloaded your 3 ini.file, only Vista Glass Sidebarmeter ini.file is working, but no weather is showing, the other both ini.files did not showing on screen.
That was NOT for you, it was meant to help balala help you (that became unnecessary after he found the old working sidebar, but it was appropriate at that time). But you're right, the same things happened to me when it came to the Sidebar versions that YOU posted (what I posted is basically an aggregate of what you posted as well): only the original worked.

i have follow your instruction, and as you see in the pic, weather section did not working.
I know you and Yincognito trying your best, to the best result, and of course you both using new measure and meters for ini. file that the weather work best, but i think it is better to use the yahoo link, as others, because i don´t know mybe my hardware or my software have problem, but not with yahoo, i don´t know why.
The Sidebar posted by balala gets its weather data from
Foreca.de. Not from Weather.com, not from Yahoo.com. That being said, even if it worked in the beginning, as you can see here:
Foreca.jpg
it did stop working after a while indeed:

In any case, both the Weather.com and the Yahoo.com sources work for you, your other screenshots proved it.
Here is a very simple skin that works with BOTH Weather.com AND Yahoo.com (although only one of them should be used in a skin)...
Skin:
WeatherTest_1.0.0.rmskin
Code:
Code: Select all
[Variables]
*** ONLY USE ONE OF THESE @INCLUDES; PUT THEM BEFORE AT THE START OF THE [VARIABLES] SECTION IN YOUR SKIN ***
; *** For Weather.com
; @Include1=#@#WeatherComJSONVariables.inc
*** For Yahoo.com
@Include4=#@#YahooComVariables.inc
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1
*** ONLY USE ONE OF THESE @INCLUDE GROUPS; PUT THEM BEFORE ANY MEASURES AND METERS IN YOUR SKIN ***
; *** For Weather.com
; @Include2=#@#WeatherComJSONMeasures.inc
; @Include3=#@#WeatherComJSONMoon.inc
*** For Yahoo.com
@Include5=#@#YahooComMeasures.inc
---Measures---
; *** For Weather.com (optional; use only if you do something else than just getting data in the measure, otherwise skip)
; [MeasureWeatherComTemperature]
; Measure=String
; String=[@CurrentTemperature]
; DynamicVariables=1
*** For Yahoo.com (optional; use only if you do something else than just getting data in the measure, otherwise skip)
[MeasureYahooComTemperature]
Measure=String
String=[.CurrentTemperatureC]
DynamicVariables=1
---Meters---
; *** For Weather.com, use for the meter's MeasureName options either: 1) @CurrentTemperature or similar; 2) MeasureWeatherComTemperature or similar
; [MeterWeatherComTemperature]
; Meter=String
; FontFace=Consolas
; FontColor=255,255,255,255
; SolidColor=47,47,47,255
; Padding=5,5,5,5
; FontSize=16
; AntiAlias=1
; MeasureName=MeasureWeatherComTemperature
; Text="Temperature (Weather.com) = %1°"
; DynamicVariables=1
*** For Yahoo.com, use for the meter's MeasureName options either: 1) .CurrentTemperatureC or similar; 2) MeasureYahooComTemperature or similar
[MeterYahooComTemperature]
Meter=String
FontFace=Consolas
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
FontSize=16
AntiAlias=1
MeasureName=MeasureYahooComTemperature
Text="Temperature (Yahoo.com) = %1°"
DynamicVariables=1
Preview (for both Weather.com and Yahoo.com):

Read the instructions starting with
*** very carefully. You can switch from using Yahoo.com to Weather.com by commenting (a line starting with
; means Rainmeter sees it as a comment and ignores the line) the Yahoo.com parts and uncommenting the Weather.com parts. You can use almost any measure you like instead of the current temperature measure, it will work (see the WeatherComMeasureNamesReference.txt and YahooComMeasureNamesReference.txt files in @Resources folder for a list for each data source). This is what needs to be done in your Sidebar too, for every old measure or meter you'd have to replace or modify the code to look similar with this one. Of course, there are other things in the sidebar, like formulas, bangs and others, that make such a task considerably harder, but these things here IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO AS WELL. The .INC files in the @Resources folder are key to have this (or any weather skin, more or less) work properly.
