4 RSS feeds for Rainmeter to match with my weather skin (Check my gallery)...
based on the Omnimo-UI reader by fediaFedia [link]

Installed rss reader and it is showing stories, but when I click on the words/link to read the article it is saying page not found.

I'm going to test it, i'd never used RSS on my desktop and I'm looking to have one about new album CD releases...
BTW, I'm still using your CloudsWeather !!!

I must be doing something wrong. I've tried changing the variable file with working RSS feeds in other rainmeter RSS feed readers and for some reason can't get this vcloud rss reader to work. Specifcally look at sports rss feeder.

Hi there!
Amazing skin, thanks to author, but don't work with this rss:

draddy82 Featured By Owner Jun 4, 2017

Strange, but I have it not working.

Foppah Featured By Owner Dec 4, 2014

Great skin! Is it possible to ignore cleartype?

Eleldir Featured By Owner Nov 6, 2013

everything works fine, except for the accents.
is there anything I can do to change this?
the rss feeds I use all have accents and I can not read the texts (the letter with the accent is replaced for a "?" sign)

excuse my bad english, im from latin america.

thanks!

Try using the RSS skin from the Glasses skin: vclouds.deviantart.com/art/Gla…

linxiaolin Featured By Owner Jun 5, 2013

Thank you very much .
This's one of my favorite skin.

Naurel06 Featured By Owner Aug 26, 2012

Great work dude ! I realy love it ! But just a question how can i change the font ? I tried by many ways but it doesn't work.

VClouds Featured By Owner Aug 26, 2012

Edit the skin and search for all the lines that say "FontFace=Ariel" and replace 'Ariel' with the font you want.

Naurel06 Featured By Owner Aug 27, 2012

I just found. In fact there were FontFace=#Font# but there is no Font=something and when i add one in the UserVariables.inc it doesn't work. So i just change one by one all the FontFace in ReaderRSS.ini and it works

One more time : thank you dude for your great work.

VClouds Featured By Owner Aug 27, 2012

Your welcome

This was one of my first skins and I didn't know much about variables at the time...

Naurel06 Featured By Owner Aug 26, 2012

Great work dude ! I realy love it ! But just a question how can i change the font ? I tried by many ways but it doesn't work.

ayot79 Featured By Owner May 14, 2012

When I click on a link nothing happens. Yesterday my browser was opening automatically. I cant figure it out. Im using Chrome and its det as default but its not workinh with IE either.

VClouds Featured By Owner May 14, 2012

They fixed it. you can download the fixed version here: [link] (scroll down to the last posts)

VClouds Featured By Owner May 14, 2012

The last Rainmeter 2.3 Beta r1377 from yesterday has broken something in this skin and also in the Omnimo rss reader.
I have notified the rainmeter team in the forums. in the mean time you can use an older version of rainmeter (r1364 or older).

Tabibov Featured By Owner Mar 17, 2012

why this not work?
what the different between your feeds and this ones?

and you from israel too xD?

VClouds Featured By Owner Mar 18, 2012

I'm not sure what exactly is the difference, probably the encoding or something. I might update it to work in the future.
You can use this skin [link] it works with your feeds.

BTW, yes i'm from Israel

cmajewsk Featured By Owner Jul 30, 2011

How did you get your vClouds2 plug-in to look border-less? Are you going to release that? Thanks!

VClouds Featured By Owner Jul 30, 2011

That's the old VClouds Weather 1 which comes without the background.

In VClouds Weather 2 you can disable the background:
Click the top right button, open settings, scroll down to Background, replace 0 with 1 and click Set.

cmajewsk Featured By Owner Jul 30, 2011

Wow, it was there all along. Thanks for the quick reply. Looks sweet!

VClouds Featured By Owner Jul 30, 2011

Dsawrock Featured By Owner May 15, 2011

How can one move it?

VClouds Featured By Owner May 15, 2011

Drag it with the orange symbol.

jpboyrox Featured By Owner Mar 13, 2011

one more thing, how could I add more headlines from the feeds to the list. is this possible? thanks a lot!

VClouds Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2011

In the ini you will need to copy and rename the measures and change their index numbers.
you will also need to copy the [Item#] and [Link#] parts and change all the numbers...

emmanuelace14 Featured By Owner Nov 16, 2011

Hey, i got the vcloud weather 2, and i cant remove the weatherchannel.com pictures that appear in front of the weather thing

VClouds Featured By Owner Nov 17, 2011

The weatherchannel logo should disappear after the weather data is loaded. there's probably something wrong with your internet connection or your firewall is blocking rainmeter from connecting to the internet.

emmanuelace14 Featured By Owner Nov 17, 2011

the weather is fine. it works fine, the problem is just that the loading doesn't disappear.
it may be the firewall...

VClouds Featured By Owner Nov 18, 2011

Also make sure you have the latest rainmeter 2.2 beta (r1037) [link]

emmanuelace14 Featured By Owner Nov 18, 2011

OK, ill try the new rain-meter. Thanks anyways.

jpboyrox Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2011

thanks that's great! I also had to add in a few more snippets after RegExp= If anyone else wants to know; that means adding on (?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)" to the end (remove the inverted commas unless you are at the end of the line)

jpboyrox Featured By Owner Mar 11, 2011

How do I change the feeds - I am a bit of a noob, I managed to edit the size from the xml but I don't find changing the feed intuitive

VClouds Featured By Owner Mar 12, 2011

Please read the file Instructions.txt that is included in the zip.

DarkGreen18 Featured By Owner Nov 24, 2011

All the txt file says is to go edit the .ini files...doesn't really help when I don't really know which line of text I'm supposed to edit.

VClouds Featured By Owner Nov 24, 2011

It says: "To change the rss feed go to "My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\VClouds RSS\Reader#" and edit the UserVariables.inc file."
You need to edit the RSS# and RSS#title lines.

DarkGreen18 Featured By Owner Nov 27, 2011

Therein lies the problem. I'm trying to change the preset feed to a a feed of my own. Those instructions doesn't help in the very bit to someone who isn't familiar with script editing. Even after opening up the UserVariables.inc file to edit, I still don't know where to start the editing and to what.

VClouds Featured By Owner Nov 27, 2011

Again, It seems to me your editing the wrong file... look again and read carefully the highlighted parts in my comment above.

The file is very simple to understand and it should look like this:

[Variables]
Width=300
WidthT=350
RSS1=Replace this part
RSS1title=Replace this part
FontSize=8
Font=Ariel

You should replace the existing url with your own.

DarkGreen18 Featured By Owner Nov 27, 2011

Sorry, I've been messing with the ReaderRSS file all this time. Thanks for the clear-up.

VClouds Featured By Owner Nov 28, 2011

No problem

jpboyrox Featured By Owner Mar 13, 2011

ahh got it sussed now. thanks a lot! this works great in the centre of my omnimo layout

dEGOnstruction Featured By Owner May 3, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

elkokills Featured By Owner Apr 29, 2010
