Thanks, glad you like it!

I made these for free and had to start somewhere; I use Spotify so that's what I made first. More music player support is on the list for future updates.

Great to hear. I got it working for now, it was actually pretty easy, just swapping the name of the plugin, adding a player name and renaming the type in every measure.

But I got another problem and that is the weather not working. Do you by any chance come from america and built the skin for just auto-updating there? Those zip codes don't work outside of US.

Cool, glad you got it working!

Yeah, I found out that the auto-location for Weather was really only working in the states. The fix for international locations is coming in the next update, but if you want to check it out early, see my instructions here: github.com/tjmarkham/win10widg…

That didn't work, I'm still back to manually entering my location. Out of curiosity I opened the website you mentioned in that link and this is what it came up with:
{
 "ip": "37.xxx.xxx.xxx",
 "city": "",
 "region": "",
 "country": "DE",
 "loc": "51.2993,9.4910"
}

Thanks for the info. If that's the only data it's reporting then there's not much I can do. I don't have the scale/money to setup my own IP-to-Location service. If you know of a better free IP-to-Location service let me know and I'll check it out

That's interesting... I haven't noticed that before but going back through old screenshots, it does seem to be the case. It is two different pieces of data, both coming from Yahoo... perhaps there's something messed up on their end.

Excellent work TJ. I just made a donation to support future development efforts--as well as your tuition fund of course.

I noticed you were discussing widgets that can be adjusted to half-size on the vertical plane (such as Performance Combo). I agree it would be nice to have this option for other widgets--such as DateTime and Volume which I'm currently using. Time without seconds would be another great option. 

Of course your studies should take priority over the W10W roadmap. Good luck!

p.s. Would be awesome if we could left click on your widgets (such as Weather) to open the corresponding Windows app. If possible, that would be another welcome feature.

Thanks, glad you like them!

At the moment, there's no quick way to change the language, but you can definitely edit the widgets yourself.

To edit a widget, simply right click it and select "Edit skin." Several widgets rely on code from additional files, so you might have to edit the code in those files to get the results you want. To find out which additional files a widget relies on, look in the [Variables] section of the widget's code for lines that start with "@ Include=" and then open/edit the files that are referenced after the equals sign.

i'd love to see disk read and write speed (in MB/s)  under (or behind) the active hdd percentage (there is a a lot unused space even in the small template)
is that possible?

tyvm anyway

options for:
- switch between bit/bytes in Network template
- show logical cores in the cpu usage template

would also be beautiful

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

I really appreciate the feedback; I just put all of your suggestions on my list of future improvements.

When I originally designed the widgets I wanted to keep the performance widgets as simple as possible so the average user wouldn't feel overwhelmed with a bunch of information that was irrelevant to them. Now that I'm getting user feedback though, I'm definitely hearing that people want more details in the performance widgets.

Right now, I'm leaning towards making a "Power User Pack" so the original widgets can stay simple, while still giving power users like you the details they need. It'll take some time to get it ready, but it's on the list now for upcoming updates!

Thanks again for your suggestions!

To manually change the Weather location, right-click the Weather widget, select "Custom skin actions," and then select "Set location." After you type in your location, make sure to press "enter" and you're good to go!

I just updated the description since it seems like a few people have been looking for this info.

If you right-click on the Weather widget, select "Custom skin actions," and then select "Set location," you should be able to just type in "57627" and then press enter to switch the weather.

tjmarkham In reply to einefrage [2016-07-07 12:57:43 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... I'm not sure, I just tried 57627 on my computer and it seems to be working. Before we do anything, try restarting your computer (if you haven't already). If that doesn't do the trick, there are a few things we can try...

Can you try entering Philadelphia, PA exactly like it's shown in the bottom of this picture: imgur.com/Lrmbl4b and let me know what happens? If that works, try just entering Hachenburg (Hachenburg seems to be working for me).

If you still get an error, can you do me a favor? Right click the Weather widget, select "Rainmeter," and then click "Manage." A window should appear. In that window there are three buttons in the bottom left corner, click the one that says "Open Log." Let me know what the top error message says (you can click the line and then press ctrl-c to copy it).

If the error message is "RegExp matching error (-1)," click the "Skins" tab at the top of the window we just opened and click "Win10 Widgets\Weather" in the left pane. Then, in the right pane, scroll down until you see the variable "woeidurl" (should be 4th from the bottom). Click that, press ctrl-c to copy it, and paste the URL here.

Sorry if that sounds super complicated, I'm just trying to figure out where the issue is. It's strange, I've had a bunch of people say that the Weather widget is working for them (even someone from Germany!).

And no worries, your English is perfect! Definitely better than my German

Hi Tj,

thx again ^^

First link...RegExp matching error (-1) (Win10 Widgets\Weather\Weather-ExtraLarge.ini - [MeasureLocationWOEID])

Second link...query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/…

i`m on work and surf over a Proxy Server, maybe this one generade this issus. It is possible to implement a proxy query?

tjmarkham In reply to einefrage [2016-07-07 14:24:26 +0000 UTC]

Hmm yeah that URL seems to be correct. Can you click that "query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/…" link and email me what you see (either a screenshot or copy/paste)? Email is win10widgets@gmail.com

It could be that the proxy is interfering with access to the web-service that provides the weather data.

Right now the Weather widget uses the proxy settings contained in the options for Internet Explorer. So if you don't have Internet Explorer configured for your proxy, try setting that up and the issue might resolve itself.

If that doesn't work, we can try to add an extra line to the code to the Weather widget to account for the proxy. However, this is only an option if your proxy does not require authentication. Right now there's no way to handle authentication in the Rainmeter code
