What is CASCADEx?
This all-in-one widget was inspired by the quick music switcher on BlackBerry 10.3. From there, it was expanded to add a basic clock, Google search, Yahoo! Weather, network speeds, and a color picker. More features are going to be added soon, and this can be easily be done through the built-in update checker. It's very customizable too, you can change its size and colors. You can even set the background to a semi-transparent color!

Hi, loving this so far, however I can't for the life of me get the Weather part to work.
Is there something wrong with it?

Hi, CASCADEx uses the Yahoo! Weather service. Due to their change in API access, the feed URLs are different.
Here is a guide in the Rainmeter forum on what to change the URLs.
Sadly due to the old age of CASCADEx, I have decided to stop support for it. Hope the link I gave would help

Hi! How to setup background opacity. Example background opacity of Network.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hi!
The background opacity has to be set manually since RainRGB cannot help you with that.
You go to wherever folder CASCADEx is in (Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\CascadeX\@ Resources\) and open color.inc, which contains all the colors used in CASCADEx.
Under the Global section, there is a variable named G-Background. The value is set in R,G,B,Opacity format. What you should be editing is the last few numbers of that value, with 0 being opaque and 255 the max transparent value.
Hope this helps

No problem. I had to disable autoscaling for Rainmeter and manually change skin resolution but then it finally looked ok.
One thing, why on deviantart you can only have 1.3.0 version? Update.ini is keep saying there is 1.3.2 version and on a download prompt, brings you back to deviant art so, also to older source.

Hi! I re-uploaded the rmskin in DeviantART. Can you check if it's alright now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Try again. This time i see only 0x0 description under "download" like it was some image file. Maybe deviantart screwed sth.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry, but it works fine on my end.

Then it was probably deviantart fault because now when i download, everything was fine. I also can confirm that now it is right, 1.3.2 version.
Now i can start thinking about adding some network graph, ssid and total upload/download transfer to this skin.
