I wish you to get better.

About the posted code, it seems it works all right, but I had to modify it a bit, because the icons didn't appear. It seems you've moved your icons into the @Resources\Icons folder, which is a very good step. The best place for all this kind of resources is really the @Resources folder.

One single small issue there is: if the skin is placed over a light background, the temperatures are hardly visible. This issue has a very simple solution: just replace the FontEffectColor=0,0,0,50 option of the String meters with FontEffectColor=0,0,0. This makes the fonts more visible even on white background.

And one more: you never have to include the options into quotes. They are not needed, being ignored by Rainmeter. For example you don't need the quotes into the Path option of the Image meters. So, there is no need for this: Path="#@#Icons" , Path=#@#Icons is completely enough. Details for example:

Indeed it does! Hi everybody, it's been some time

I just wanted to report that this skin has suddenly stopped working

Now this has happened a couple of times in the past (probably because of Internet problems), but the service was restored within a couple hours. But in this case, it has stopped working since yesterday, so I'm starting to worry a bit :

2020.05.27 - 11.54.26.png

I haven't done anything and I haven't modified the skin. It hast just stopped working, and a Windows reboot doesn't change anything.
Any thoughts ? Has there been any changes on the weather service side ?

Wow! I see that this is a big issue on this board at the moment!

I'll try the tricks and report in the relevant topic(s). Many thanks!

Before following the instructions do not forget to close the Rainmeter ! (right click on the Rainmeter icon in the taskbar and choose Exit)

So, I followed the instructions and it worked for a while... until now.

I have been following the related topics and I understand this is an issue related to a new site structure from weather.com.
Apparently they have finished (or are finishing) migrating to their new structure, which means hopefully our skins can be adapted again.
@xenium , I hope you can find the time to adapt this skin too, not a hurry.

The "final" version that has been working like a charm until now is this one :

Download and install JSMorley's Weather.com skin from here.

Open Windows file explorer and copy the following files from 'Weather.com/@Resources' folder of JSMorley's skin to your skin's '@Resource' folder:
WeatherComJSONLanguage.inc
WeatherComJSONMeasures.inc
WeatherComJSONVariables.inc

Copy the code below and paste it in your editor. Save it with a new skin name in the same folder as the skin that is not working; name it anything you want, but I would go with something like: 'WeatherFrench.ini'.

Code: Select all

Refresh All or restart Rainmeter.

Celsius and Translations

You will need to edit '@Resources\WeatherComJSONVariables.inc' to set your LocationCode to 'LocationCode=FRXX0055' and change 'Language=en-US' to 'Language=fr-FR'. Save the file.

In order to see all labels in French, you will need to edit '@Resources\WeatherJSONLanguage.inc' and follow the instructions to translate the terms to French. You need to add 1 new keyword=value... 'Visibility=Visibility' and then edit after the equal sign to show 'Visibility' in French.
Save that file and refresh/load the weather skin you named above; 'WeatherFrench.ini'.

This should get the skin working again. If you are still having issues, please package the entire skin folder and post it here so we have all the necessary images to troubleshoot.

Hi @eclectic-tech , thanks for reaching out.

I have downloaded JSMorley's skin. It wouldn't install on my Rainmeter 4.2, so I have downloaded and installed the latest 4.4-r3380-beta.
So far nothing works, including none of my existing skins.
The log says "could not initialize the render target".

Some research shows that it could be related to my graphics driver ( https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=32221 ). But here's the problem : my graphics driver CAN'T be updated anymore !

It's an IGP from an i3 Core 530, and Intel doesn't update it anymore. It works perfectly, I just can't update it.

This brings some questions :

Why would the latest Rainmeter beta drop support for my IGP, when 4.2 was supporting it just fine ?
Should I revert to 4.2 ?

EDIT 1 : I have reverted to 4.2, and now ALL the skins load, including JSMorley's one. And it even works on 4.2 !

Of course my skin doesn't work yet, but now I'll be able to resume your instructions to make it work, while staying in 4.2.

EDIT 2 : I have followed your instructions, and MY WEATHER SKIN WORKS AGAIN ! I'M SO HAPPY !! THANK YOUUUUU !!!

But now... am I condemned to stay forever in 4.2 ?...

Maybe my issue could be brought to the attention of Rainmeter devs, so they can try NOT to break compatibility with older IGPs like mine ?
