[Bug] How do I get the Weather Skin Started?

Post by AtlBo »

Brand new to rainmeter, so I am sorry that I do not know much. I have made some small improvements to the illustro skins that came with rainmeter when I downloaded the program, and I am very happy with the results. Unfortunately, there was no weather skin with the original download. I managed to locate one called desk five that has a great looking television type weather skin, and I added the weather code for my area, but the skin is still not working.

Does anyone have any idea how I might get the skin going? I tried to add the edit file as a Notepad attatchment, but it would not attatch, so here's the contents:

Re: [Bug] How do I get the Weather Skin Started?

Post by MerlinTheRed »

I think the problem is that the site the skin gets its weather from no longer exists:

http://rainmeter.accu-weather.com/widget/rainmeter/weather-data.asp?Location=USGA0029&metric=1

I believe AccuWeather has shut down this kind of service. You'll have to find another site to get your weather from and parse that.

Check this thread for some alternatives:

http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1474

Basically, you could also just copy the code from a working weather skin and put it in a skin you like (Enigma and VClouds Weather are some examples. Do a search on deviantART for them). You will have to mess with the string indices though. And if the new site lacks some information the old one had, you'll have to compensate somehow.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

Thanks for the advice Merlin. I went and found the VClouds skin. It works great. I attatched a picture of the skin I was using, desk five. I guess you are probably aware of it, idk, but it would be perfect. Maybe someone will pick it up as a project if it has been abandoned by its creator. It's the right size, even though it doesn't have much, but I don't want much from that app. Just a couple of days of weather. Thanks again...
