Clock face based on the sunset and sunrise

If there is no big difference in CPU consumption, then the online will be the choice

I said and still sustain I don't know which solution is using less CPU:

I can't say which solution uses less CPU. I suppose (but this definitely is just a supposition!) the offline solution would use less, but I'm not sure I am right at all.

I want to make the background the same as the sky color. what is wrong in my code here:

Code: Select all

[MeasureSkyColor]
Measure=WebParser
UpdateRate=1000
Url="http://time.yandex.com/sync.json?lang=en&geo=#location#"
RegExp="(?siU).*"skyColor":#(.*),"
StringIndex=5
FinishAction=[!ShowMeter MeterDisk][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

[MeterDisk]
Meter=Roundline
X=50
Y=65
W=120
H=120
StartAngle=4.712
RotationAngle=6.283
LineLength=110
LineColor=[MeasureSkyColor]
MeterTint LineColor=90
Solid=1
AntiAlias=1

A few changes,

Code: Select all

[MeasureSkyColor]
Measure=WebParser
UpdateRate=600
Url="https://time.yandex.com/sync.json?lang=en&geo=#Location#"
RegExp="(?siU).*,"skyColor":"(.*)","
StringIndex=1
FinishAction=[!ShowMeter MeterDisk][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
Substitute="#":""

[MeterDisk]
Meter=Roundline
;X=50
;Y=65
W=120
H=120
StartAngle=4.712
RotationAngle=6.283
LineLength=60
LineColor=[&MeasureSkyColor]
;MeterTint 
;LineColor=90
Solid=1
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1

I modified the URL to HTTPS://...
You are using a new webparser, so the StringIndex capturing starts at 1; ex. StringIndex=1
You captured the quotation marks around the hex color, which you do not need
I added a substitute to remove the # from the hex color after capture for use in the meter
Commented out invalid lines in your roundline meter and changed the size to half the width so it is centered
Added DynamicVariables=1 to the roundline

This should return colors from "skyblue" to "black" depending on the #Location# value.

A few changes,

Me personally at least, can't get your code to work. What the Location variable has to be in case of yandex?

[the1ulike]

I can get the color changed now

The code is a number you get at the yandex site from the "Informer" details. That number is set as #Location#; ex. &geo-200 will show the time and information for Los Angeles CA.

Great!

Can you show us how to set the offline approach? Blackface for the night and while for the day. Then, gradually change at sunrise and sunset times.

Gradually change at Sunrise and Sunset is possible with the offline solution, but changing it depending on the "sky color" (however I'm not entirely sure what this does mean), is probably not. At least not if the "sky color" is related to the weather conditions as well (is it?).

You are right, the "skyColor" is not reflecting the weather effect on it. I'm interested in the offline approach without colors, just black and while
