Description
CircuitousTwoRainmeter skins, version 1.0These are simple roundline and string skins - sort of a combination of my older Circuitous and Simplicity Circles skins. The design doesn't lend itself to things like feed readers and calendars, but there are a lot more skins in the suite than are shown in the preview:
Included skins:- Battery monitor
- Hard drive space (x3)
- Disk activity (using PerfMon.dll)
- RAM space
- SWAP space
- Upload traffic
- Download traffic
- Wifi monitor
- Media player control using NowPlaying.dll
- CPU (average load and top process)
- CPU cores (x4) (core load and frequency)
- Recycle Bin (size, item count, auto-empty)
- CPU temperature (either CoreTemp or SpeedFan )
- Time and Date
- Volume control
- Weather (using Yahoo! Weather)
- vertical or horizontal background bar

Skin settings can be easily changed using the Config.ini skin

More info/Help me/How to:Try the ReadMe file first. You can open it from the Config.ini skin, and it is located at right in the skin root folder.
I also am maintaining a "FAQ" journal entry for these skins, for answers that I expect to repeat a lot or for semi-complicated things that need a long answer.
If the ReadMe and FAQ don't cover it, then fire away in the comments - I'll answer any question I can.
Many thanks everyone who helped beta test these skins, and I hope you all enjoy the final product. As usual, bug reports, feature suggestions, and constructive criticism are all greatly appreciated.
Hyrax out.

Hi this may sound kinda dumb, but how do you re-position the icons?

If they are flagged as Draggable (which should be the default) just drag and drop them?

First, you need to add an API key to dscm's code.
1. Create an account at openweathermap.org and add an API. It is a free account.
2. Add the following to the URL code: &APPID=ADD_YOUR_API_KEY_NUMBER_HERE
Second, you need to use the city ID rather than the city name. To do that:
1. Change the URL code from ?q=YOUR_CITY_NAME to ?id=ADD_YOUR_CITY_NUMBER_HERE
2. To find your city ID search for your city on openweathermap.org. The city ID will be in the URL of your browser. Copy and paste it into your code.
If you want fahrenheit instead of celsius make the following changes to the code:
1. Change the URL code from &units=metric to &units=imperial
2. Change the RegExp code from \sunit="metri(.*)" to \sunit="fahrenheit(.*)"
My code looks like this:
[mWeather]
Measure
Plugin=WebParser
URL="api.openweathermap.org/data/2.… "
RegExp
ForceReload=1
UpdateRate=900
Here is the pastebin link to the code without the emoticons and links: pastebin.com/raw/2D5ewwvp
Thank you dscm for providing the code so that the weather skin works again.
I hope this is helpful.
you're the best!!!! finally got it working. One thing to point out is the stock yweather.ini doesn't have all of your RegExp line in it. Mine is: 👍: 0 ⏩: 0
RegExp
I was trying to figure out what i was doing wrong and the only thing i wasn't trying was changing the metric to imperial. Once i copied your regexp line into mine and refreshed, it worked with my city code. Thank you so much for this!
That did the trick farmercl, thanks!

Hi all, it looks like Yahoo Weather API is not working. I've modified the yweather.ini file to get the current weather. 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Here is the code. Just replace the lines in the [mWeather] setting matching the lines below: (dont forget to change "CITY_NAME" with yours)
EDIT: It looks like the code below gets parsed with emoticons and links. I saved the code on Pastebin: pastebin.com/raw/w5xc70SM

Hi there, I tried to add a fourth disk, but the coding is a little beyond me, think you could help?:
I tried re-writing the weather app as that one does not work by copy-pasting the second drive code then editing it.
(I'm new to rainmeter please don't kill me)

Anyone else seeing issues with the weather app? Quit working about 2-3 weeks ago. I've verified I'm using the correct WOEID.
Thanks

Unfortunately it looks like we may be out of luck without a fairly involved rewrite of the way that the Weather skin gets its weather data.

FH (and others familiar with Rainmeter),
FH - thank you very much for CircuitousTwo (C2), its straightforward elegant way of presenting info is perfect.
After reading "hd2 and hd3 should work with removable drives" in C2's readme I hoped to utilize "Can I add more than three HDs" from your C2 FAQs to add a virtual hard drive (it's beyond "E") ("hoping" 'cause I'm unfamiliar with coding). But, after reading a some skin descriptions at the RM site saying they only work with physical drives and coming up empty searching for variations of "virtual HD" at the site I don't know if I should even try - there's no mention of any skins that work with virtual drives so maybe this one doesn't.
Do you think your directions under "Can I add more than three HDs" from your FAQs will allow the addition of a virtual drive (specifically a vhdx)?
If not, can you point me in another direction for getting C2 to work with a virtual drive? Thanks.

I'm having an issue where the Weather "widget" is blank. It used to work, but suddenly it doesn't after a restart. This problem also happened to your famous "Do I need a jacket" skin. I have the correct WOEID.
And Do I need a jacket 2.0 or whatever just says "loading"

Never mind -- it came back on it's own. Still don't know what happened.

I think I'm having a similar problem tonight (it was working like 30 minutes ago). Right now I'm thinking it might be a problem with Yahoo RSS, since none of the other weather skins I've tested work either.

jorgeapp u need CoreTemp nor Speedfan to Display the Temp from ur CPU

hello! i have a question... why i cant see the temperature and the speed of the fancooler ? k60.kn3.net/322135CC7.png
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Have you any idea why when I try to set this to monitor the temperatures of all four of my cores, three of the graphs don't work? The displayed numbers will change, and they match what's shown in Core Temp... But only the first graph works.
I've made sure that the INI file for each core has the proper CoreTempIndex set, as follows.
Core #1: CoreTempIndex=0
Core #2: CoreTempIndex=1
Core #3: CoreTempIndex=2
Core #4: CoreTempIndex =3
Despite that, I can't get all three of the graphs to function. Here's a link to a screenshot to demonstrate: imgur.com/Me9wKDV
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same here. Can change the the core that is shown, but graph 1-3 doesnt work. Also, is there a way to display the average of all 4 cores?
Edit: I think i got it. If you change the CoreTempIndex under mTemp to your desired core but leave the CoreTempIndex under mTjMax on index 0, it shows the right coretemperature and the graph works too. Still would like to know though if i can see one temp for all cores together though. ^^

Thanks for the help, man! That worked perfectly!

Dude, found out one way of doing it.
In the folder it goes;
"~\CircuitousTwo\Temps\CoreTemp"
If you copy the config settings, go to the main folder of C.T. or the folder Temps, and make a new folder (Name:Temp2 as example if you're in the main folder or CoreTemps2 if you're in Temps), paste the file into the new folder, edit it so it shows another core (open, edit mTemp CoreTempIndex=0 [change to =1]), it will run the same thing but as a different plugin instead of replacing the previous one
How I've done it is, go into the folder Temps, change CoreTemp to CT1, copy and paste it, edit name to CT2 and edit the file in that folder to show second fan temp and load both. You could do this multiple times to show multiple fan temps
Hope it helps you and many others

I am enjoying CircuitousTwo very much. It is simple, elegant and attractive.
I am having difficulty with the weather skin. It does not update the weather data properly. Old readings seem to be retained in the cache and are not replaced when the skin is refreshed. In fact when it is refreshed it bounces between a number of old readings that seem to be stuck in the cache somewhere.
I did try a few things but they didn't seem to help. Since I don't really know what I am doing I thought I would ask.
How do I get the weather data to update properly either when it is manually refreshed or automatically refreshed?
