Weather Skins Not Working

[jsmorley]

None of that answers my questions.

What exact download do we need and please provide a link for each. I have no clue where to go.

What edits do we need to make to what files or what steps do we take AFTER we download these files. Please be precise.

It depends a bit on which weather skin you are currently using. Can you provide a link to where you got it?

These post are really geared toward skin authors and, as you are saying, can be difficult to follow if you are not creating/editing a particular weather skin.

The question I have to ask you is:
"What weather skin(s) are you using?"

I would suggest you watch this forum post since it has links to skins that are working with these updated files.

If the skin you need is not on that list, ask here for help on the skin by providing a download link to it.
Or at the site where you downloaded your weather skin, ask if it is going to be updated.

Thank you so much! I was able to locate the new Rainformer Skin here:
https://www.deviantart.com/pul53dr1v3r/art/Rainformer-2-9-1-AIDA64-Edition-Rainmeter-444287665
and the newest beta version of Rainmeter here:
https://www.rainmeter.net/

Then, I had to find my location code here:
https://weather.codes/united-states-of-america/california/

All that remained was selecting Fahrenheit and the four-day display. It's running perfectly now!



Thank you again!

There's no need to search for location code on the site. Just click on the WEATHER skin title and there enter your location. Don't forget to press ENTER at the end. i couldn't make it simpler.

Also, it works properly only in English until i update it again, but adding the DecodeCodePoints=1 option to the problematic child measures will fix it. - you have to install the latest beta ver. of Rainmeter for this.

Thank you again so much! I did try just entering "Escondido" "Escondido, CA" and "Escondido, California" in the Weather Skin title, and it brought up a list of Escondido cities from other countries not including the U.S. I'm not sure why. But I was able to get the code through the code search finding U.S. first, then California, then Escondido. That worked well.

I see. I didn't enter "USA" into the second prompt. That was it. I'll know that next time. Thanks again!

Yeah, remember that there are more countries than the US in the world, not to menion Californias or Escondidos... The more precise the location you enter is, the more accurate the response.

Throwing away all decimal places is probably fine with a units of measure of "e" (Imperial) as I think visibility is always returned in whole miles.

Because I'm using Imperial units my inelegant solution is to add the following substitution to my skin:

Code: Select all

[CurrentVisibilityDistance]
Measure=String
Group=Weather
String=[@CurrentVisibilityDistance]
Substitute="1.000":"1","2.000":"2","3.000":"3","4.000":"4","5.000":"5","6.000":"6","7.000":"7","8.000":"8","9.000":"9","10.000":"10"
DynamicVariables=1

From v.2.9.2 location search input 's been changed. Now enter all the data such as city, county, country etc. in the only input text field.
