I am trying to create a weather widget using https://wttr.in/ page and get png images from there. But I can't display the image on the desktop.
This is my code:

Code: Select all

[MeasureImageDownload]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=https://wttr.in/T%C3%A2y%20S%C6%A1n_0tqp_transparency=150.png
Download=1
DownloadFile=current.jpg
UpdateDivider=15

[MeterImage]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=MeasureImageDownload
DynamicVariables=1

Navigate to system tray,
Click right mouse button on Rainmeter icon,
Choose "About"
it will open the Log tab which should show problems with your skin.
What errors do you see there?


IMPORTANT: Make sure all the options on the bottom of this window are chosen: Error, Warning, Notice, Debug.
If any of the options were not chosen, then: choose them, refresh your skin, and check the log again - now it should show what problem you are getting with your skin.

Most probably if the code doesn't have further meters, when you refresh / activate the skin its size is 0 (before the WebPareser measure gets the image). When the WebParser measure downloads the image, the skin is not resized to properly show the image.
To fix this try to add a DynamicWindowSize=1 option to the [Rainmeter] section.

Additional note: even if a while ago WebPasre was a plugin, in meantime it became an internal measure and should be used accordingly. So replace the Measure=Plugin / Plugin=WebParser option pair of the [MeasureImageDownload] measure with the single Measure=WebParser option.
