please, i am not able to change the temperature here. what line would have to enter the code in temperature in settings.ini? Beautiful work. one of the best themes i have seen on Rainmeter

kevin-utkarsh In reply to iwasneveralive [2011-04-06 16:58:53 +0000 UTC]

Just open the settings.ini config through rainbrowser and you can find the weather code option.Click on the code there( just in front of the weather code where the code - INXX0100 is written), paste your weather code there and press enter.

Go to weather config and refresh it and you are done...e e

Thanks a lot for the appreciation...e e

I hope you will like the next version of my Pragmatic also which I am going to release soon...e e

RomanticRascal In reply to hflj88 [2011-03-17 03:35:22 +0000 UTC]

Ok, First of all you'll need 2 files for this.

1. Windows Media Player Pluggin,
2. Customized .INI file (Configuration File) of Proud Bar.

All you have to do is to Install the pluggin and Replace the Original .ini file with the one posted below.

Pluggin:

Thanks to ~Poiru you can download it from here .

After downloading the file, extract it and just Install the pluggin [Filename:InstallPlugin.exe]. No need to install the theme which comes along with the pluggin, that is just for preview purposes .

Custom INI:

Download the customized .INI file from [link].

Before replacing the file with the original file, I recommend you to make a backup of the original file, It helps in case of any bug or error.

To do so, Navigate to the Pragmatic theme folder inside RainMeter Skins folder, Assuming it to be in My documents [ C:\Users\{username}\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\pragmatic\proud taskbar ]

Search for a file there named :

proud taskbar.ini

This is the orignal file so rename it to :

proud taskbar (orignal).ini

Now extract the file you downloaded on your desktop, and copy the file proud taskbar.ini from the desktop to this folder (i.e. proud taskbar folder).

Thats it.

Now Refresh your skin, Open Windows Media Player and try the keys on your Proud Taskbar. If everything is done correctly they will work for sure .

Best of luck !!

(P.S. Sorry I kindda suck at making tutorials, Hopefully you guys will understand it , Any problems feel free to ask

Also, Thanks again to ~kevin-utkarsh for designing such an awesome skin, I hope you wont mind my customizing it just a little bit )
