Hope you've changed your password since you've posted this, I mean it's good form to have by now, but in Default.inc 'a' password is kinda just there, be careful out there man.

does anyone have a screenshot of the working setup and which specific line to change

whaleonstitlz Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2017

Hey I fixed it, again.

Here's a new ini. I commented out everything I changed.

drive.google.com/file/d/0B972W…

Look at the comments in the ini under [Variables] to use it.

Maggra Featured By Owner Jan 26, 2017

How do you change it from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

scandii Featured By Owner Edited Feb 17, 2017

change unit to m, like this, without the spaces:
http:// wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#WeatherCode#?cc=*&unit=#Type#&dayf=6

and under variables:
Type=m

This time the issue seems to be because of weather.com. I tested some cities in Germany, and they are not working. New York, Warsaw, Paris work; London does not work either. I have no idea.

Nuytary Featured By Owner Sep 6, 2016

aaaaaaaaaand

it do not work again... 6 times in 8 month troubles with the weather gadget in rainmeter...

Watchmanz Featured By Owner Edited May 28, 2016

Finally got it working. For people that need an updated weather.ini file, please see pasted file at http :// pastebin.com / i3g0ExU3 (remove the spaces)

Note: you will need to change your location on line 23 to suit your location. This is for Celsius settings - if you need Fahrenheit you will need to follow the previously provided instructions.

zsfwaw Featured By Owner May 17, 2016

Yeah I can't get this to work at all....I've tried everything CoffeeAllDay said to do aswell as what whaleonstitlz said to do, and it's still completely broken....could one of you maybe just upload your weather.ini and highlight what needs to be changed for us to fix it and work with our variables? It seems like the creator of this skin has completely abandoned it, or something has come up to where they're unable to address the issues with it sadly....

whaleonstitlz Featured By Owner Edited May 13, 2016

Got it working. Follow CoffeeAllDay's steps to force it to use weather.com's api, then replace the 'Url' line with this:

URL="http: //wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#WeatherCode#?cc=*&unit=#Type#"

You can take the space out, the website thinks it's spam if I don't have it there.
I found this fix by copying this line from DINAJ2 (which I can't get working properly

) and changing the variables.

Worked for me as well. Thanks!

TefazXO Featured By Owner May 18, 2016

mattzyd Featured By Owner May 15, 2016 Student Interface Designer

Doesn't work for me :/

it is good fill ?
URL="http: //wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#PLXX0028#?cc=*&unit=#C#"
?

I must delete " sign from there ? and where i must to copy this ?
After this ?
[mWeatherRSS]
Measure

lugin
Plugin

lugins\WebParser.dll
UpdateRate=1600

or

[MeasureWeatherRSS]
Measure

lugin
Plugin

lugins\WebParser.dll
UpdateRate=1800

?

whaleonstitlz Featured By Owner May 16, 2016

If you fill it in remove the #'s, those mean it's a variable.

Under [mWeatherRSS] there should be a line like "Url=blahblahblah.com", replace it with my line or comment it out with ';' and add my line. Follow CoffeeAllDay's steps and comment out the whole [MeasureWeatherRSS] section.

mattzyd Featured By Owner May 17, 2016 Student Interface Designer

It's kind of funny but i can't do it :/ I changed lines as "CoffeeAllDay" like this:

In the [MeasureWeatherDesc] section:
change Url= line to:                       Url=[mWeatherRSS]
    change the StringIndex= line to:    StringIndex=19

In the [MeasureWeatherTemp] section:
   change the Url= line to:                Url=[mWeatherRSS]
   change the StringIndex= line to:   StringIndex=17

But still don't know what to do with this
URL="http: //wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#PLXX0028?cc=*&unit=#C"

The Weather code and spot with Type it is good filled ? I must delete the " sign (quotation marks) ? Or do it something with Hash # ?

If You can pls paste your code or add media to comment OR If You have a time send me on mail all this file with weather.ini
My mail is my nick from deviant (mattzyd@gmail.com)

whaleonstitlz Featured By Owner May 19, 2016

Yeah delete all the #'s so it looks like this:

URL="http: //wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/PLXX0028?cc=*&unit=C"

If that doesn't work I'll paste my ini.

mattzyd Featured By Owner Edited May 19, 2016 Student Interface Designer

oh... Now works but I must change unit to degrees celsius
Thanks You

Ehh I feel so stupid right now

EDIT: Ok now it's everything fine !

IF YOU WANT CELSIUS !

Here is space (You must delete the space after http) There: Paste code of city (after Unit must be like this below)
Url=http ://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/PLXX0028?cc=*&unit=#Type#&dayf=6

INI File *delete space after http

nobodyx01 Featured By Owner May 12, 2016 Hobbyist Photographer

This skin broke for me, anyone having a similar issue?

I've done the edits stated below by CoffeeAllDay, but still nothing

AnnoyingDude42 Featured By Owner May 8, 2016

How do I change from F to C? Putting c in doesn't work.

Kuroi-Tenchi Featured By Owner Apr 16, 2016

Can i get a working code as a PM? I tried everything CoffeeAllDay wrote.
Your's is just fine, or if you can Stockholm, Sweden temp in Celsius.

SWXX0031 (:1:SW)
Url=xml.weather.com/weather/local/…

Commented out [MeasureWeatherRSS] with // & changed urls to mWeatherRss + stringindex. Still nothing, no numbers

Kuroi-Tenchi Featured By Owner Apr 18, 2016

Just changing yahoo url too xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecast… worked for 1 second then it died again. Happened before with another fix following the guide below, altough it was in farenheit

PurpleSpartan101 Featured By Owner Apr 7, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

How do I get the smaller number to describe the weather instead of giving me 2 temperatures?

Myhrddin Featured By Owner Apr 5, 2016 Hobbyist General Artist

Please update your skin so it'll work again.
Thank you.

Have really enjoyed having a clean, simple indicator like this for at-a-glance info.
Thanks for that too.!

rokkr7 Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2016

There's code listed a few comments down that will fix it

Myhrddin Featured By Owner Apr 17, 2016 Hobbyist General Artist

Will give it a go. Thanks for the info.!

SilverFox92 Featured By Owner Apr 3, 2016

Any way I can change the icon color of the weather? I can change the color of everything else EXCEPT that

zsfwaw Featured By Owner Apr 7, 2016

I've been trying to figure that out as well, I don't think you can :/....took a little bit of working around to figure out how to actually change the HEX codes for everything else so it would work (you just need to delete the # in front of it, so basically you would change FontColor=#ffffff to FontColor=BFB39 (or your desired HEX code color). You can also do RGB ie change FontColor=#ffffff to Fontcolor= 26, 26, 26 (and just pick your numbers)

However, I have NO idea on how to change the icon colors, and I'm assuming because they're just icons you can't or we just need to figure out a command line to add that would force a color change.

rokkr7 Featured By Owner Edited Apr 14, 2016

You can use a photo editor and manually change the colors since icons are pictures generally in a folder with the skin. I used GIMP and it worked perfectly. You can use the hex value to get the exact color

ReItih Featured By Owner Mar 31, 2016

Im having problems with the words and numbers not displaying, is there a fix?

CoffeeAllDay Featured By Owner Edited Apr 1, 2016

Yep, the problem is that Yahoo started requiring authentication for access to their API's, which is where this skin was getting the temp and description. The fix is to not use Yahoo. See below for instructions on using weather.com.

BTW, completely separate tip, but I found that adding this line to the [MeterIcon] section was pretty handy:

LeftMouseUpAction=["httpX://weather.com/weather/today/l/#WeatherCode#"]

(change the httpX to https -- I wrote it that way so the comments parser here would not reformat the text as a link.) This will make the icon clickable so that it opens the weather.com site in your browser.

Cheers.
