@balala : I know, I posted the current code just to state where I'm at currently, for future readers.
@eclectic-tech : I'd be happy if the "feels like" appeared as a tooltip when I hover over the icon. Unfortunately it doesn't at the moment. Never has.
Here's the whole skin with all the needed files and graphics, just in case.
WeatherFrench.rar

It does appear:

It certainly does on your computer. Now we only need to figure out why it doesn't on mine. Because I can assure you it doesn't.

EDIT : GOT IT ! Tooltips were disabled on my computer.

I'm surprised. There are three skins in your last posted package. Two of them don't even work for me. The third one (
WeatherFrench2.ini) shows the above tooltip.

You posted too fast my friend
I have just edited my previous post to indicate that tooltips were disabled on my computer.
So using regedit, I have been here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\
Then I've set
EnableBalloonTips to
1, and restarted
explorer.exe . Problem solved!
However, only a part of the info in the tooltip is translated fo french. What file should I edit to translate the rest?
2020.08.03 - 22.53.30.png
There would be:
- Date: incorrect format (it should read "3 août")
- Feels like, plus the 4 lines below it
PS : sure, only the last version of the skin (
WeatherFrench2.ini) works. The other two are old versions that I've been keeping just in case I'd need to revert for whatever reason. They probably don't work anymore.

Edit '@Resources\WeatherComJSONLanguage.inc' to create translations for the English terms. Note you will have to add Visibility=visibility and translate to the right of the equal sign to the French term.
For the date, you need to edit '@Resources\WeatherComJSONVariables.inc' and change the DateFormat=... to the values you desire.

Thanks! Works perfectly now
I've even added the units by editing the skin's ini file.

I had no idea about this registry key and how does it affect the tooltip in Windows, but makes sense and it is good to be know such a setting does exist. Thanks for the info.
