Display Temperature

[bhs67]

I installed Rainmaker quite a while ago ... displayed only the temperature on the monitor. It has worked fine until today. The degree symbol is still there, but the number is gone.

I downloaded and ran Rainmaker-4.5.8.exe ... do not recall what it does. I see in my notes:

MiniWeather => Hugh Mungus
Right-click the skin to show the context menu. Select "Custom skin actions."
=> "Edit weather variables" => change latitude=46.892645 and longitude=-100.833957
=> "Edit skin variables" => Change Scale=1.0 to Scale 0.5
=> replace Hugh Mungus with Just the Text

I do not recall any more details. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The weather website changed... you need to edit the weather variables file and change the APIKey value.
Change the value to: APIKey=21d8a80b3d6b444998a80b3d6b1449d3
Save the file and refresh.

I'd like a description of what exactly I should change ... which file, what contents, etc. It's been too long ago. Thanks!

• Right=click the MiniWeather skin (any variant)
• From the skin context menu that appears, hover over Custom skin actions
• Click Edit Weather Variables

This will open the file you need to edit in your text editor app.

• Scroll down that file until you see the line starting with APIKey=
• Edit that line so it is: APIKey=21d8a80b3d6b444998a80b3d6b1449d3
• Save the file.
• Refresh the skin.

I right clicked, and it disappeared. I don't see any images to right click again. How do I have an image re-appear? Sorry for these simple questions.

If you are using MiniWeather those instructions will work.

The file you need to edit is Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\MiniWeather\@Resources\Includes\WeatherComJSONVariables.inc

I found WeatherComJSONVariables.inc. However, I do not know which instructions to follow. The MiniWeather link jumps to images, no instructions.

Great!

Now that you found the file, double-click it, or open it in a text editor (such as: notepad.exe OR notepad++.exe).

Now follow the second part of these instructions to change the APIKey value.
