I used that skin to learn and as a base for this one.

Many helpful tips were found in both sources.

Nicely done!

I would suggest you modify your [Variables] section... because you have several @includes between the included variables file and the "in-the-skin" defined variables.

Those "in-the-skin" variables are not being loaded, which end up creating calc errors in the log:
Formula: "#ShowSettingsIcon#" is unknown: (1-(1-(1-(1-(1-#ShowSettingsIcon#))))) (Simple Weather\SimpleWeather.ini)

To correct this error, change the order of your @includes and "in-the-skin" variables:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
@Include=#@#Variables.inc
size=#SizeValue#

ShowDetails=1
ShowDetailsIcon=0
ShowSettings=1
ShowSettingsIcon=1

@Include2=#@#RegExp.inc
@Include3=#@#Measures.inc
@Include4=#@#Translation.inc

Placing the "in-the-skin" variables before any additional @includes that contain new sections, eliminates undefined variable errors.

Thank you!

Can you explain

Code: Select all

(1-(1-(1-(1-(1-#ShowSettingsIcon#)))))

I had that as just (1-#ShowSettingsIcon) and it seemed to be working.
Thanks.

Edit - I see that section is adding (1-) on every click of "more" and "less" details. Is there a way to keep that from happening?
Edit2 - My mistake. I had the initial value of #ShowSettingsIcon# wrong. Fixed in 1.1

Multiple subtraction formulas in the log usually means the involved variable's initial value cannot be determined. In your case because the variable was defined after multiple includes that had sections defined, those variables were not established.
Yes, so setting the initial value in the [Variables] section or re-arranging where the skin variables are placed will correct the error.
Glad you figured it out.
Nice work on this
