Can you please advise how to configure for multiple locations at same time?
Thank you.
What are the units of the update rate numbers?
Thanks!
Thanks!
i have the lastest skin version and program 4.1
Many times the main icon fails to load and other times it appear a waiting windows say to wait a moment.
prntscr.com/hf3mmr
Any fix?
where did you download the Weather Channel Program ?
NealAFawcett explained the problem here one year ago (next page) and VClouds told me it was a problem with weather.com (the only thing to do was waiting for a fix by them); but today, the problem is not solved.
Anyone have the same problem and know how to solve it ?
Thanks for answer and sorry if my english is perfectible.

But it shows me old data
I can change color and position and font size on anything, but I can't change the update rate from the temperature.
It is 10.30 am at my place, and it shows me the data from 9am...
And I don't know how to change it, when I go to weather.com I have another temperature then what VClouds shows me, So where can I change the update rate to every 15 minutes or something?
Because around the net I fond about hundrets of comments about how to set the location, but not one working way to change the update rate for today...

But, how can i make it bigger, using 5 daysH ?
Best wishes.
I updated the latest version of Rainmeter (4.0), but it also makes the previous one. I tried everything possible, reinstall too. After a short time it was normal all return to this state, after next pc restart. What it may be related? Graphic card driver I did not change. Until yesterday everything went normally. I have Windows7_64ult.sp1. Consider this RMweather skin as by far the best I've ever tried, I use it for years
Thx for any help. Peter
I solved a similar thing some time ago.
It succeeded in setting the delayed start of Rainmeter of 30sec, by 3th party sw. In my case Glary utilities, which I use for different settings in my pc. If you need to help, let me know (anche in italiano). Now I have another issue I describe it above...
So it will look like this:
[Meterdate+2]
MeasureName=MeasureDate+1
After refreshing, the dates should be correct. The only exception is "Tomorrow", which doesn't show a date at all if you use +0 instead of +1.
Keep doing your brilliant work. thanks & regards.
You can manually edit and delete the entire LOADING section in the bottom part of the INI file (right click the skin > edit skin)
Keep doing your brilliant work. thanks & regards.
Infact the current weather description is missing to eg: "Partly Cloudy" - Probably part of the same issue!
Other days (eg: next three days) all seem to be displaying OK!?
No problem for the small icon but the large icon doesn't appear (location code : FRXX0056).
Is there any solutions ?
Is there any way to increase the refresh rate of the data? I searched through the code but couldn't find anything obvious. And, I'm a total newbie to Rainmeter, so it may be there.
