Description
This is an old version. For a fully updated version of this skin check out VClouds Weather 2 and my new Glasses theme.My first Rainmeter skin - a detailed vertical weather skin.
it includes 3 sets with 8 skins each, that shows weather conditions - from current weather to a full 9 day forecast from weather.com.
To change the weather to your city location right click the skin, click edit skin, scroll down to Location and read the instructions.
* The Today/Tonight line is taken from Shivaism's Large Clean Weather skin. shivaism.deviantart.com/art/La…
- Make sure to read the instructions
- Also check this video that I found for easy installation instructions www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE_JZP…
Updates:
13.12.2011 - Temporary fix for the weather.com update issues. everything should work except for the last forecast day in the 9 days variant.
3.11.2013 - Fixed Tonight forecast not showing thanks to josey-wells .
20.1.2014 - Fixed Tonight forecast not showing up again. thanks to josey-wells .

I was working on a new skin when I noticed that the config wasn't displaying any data. I checked the backup version and it was the same thing, no data was being displayed. Any idea what it could be?

That's awesome but is there any way I could use msn weather instead of weather.com ?

No, a rewrite of the skin will be required for that.

Ok.
I have created two buttons. one to turn it off and one to turn it on using !Bangs. here's the code:
[MeterTodayOffButton]
Meter=BUTTON
X=17r
Y=r
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
ButtonImage=\Buttons\TodayOff.png
LeftMouseDownAction=!execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterNightIcon1][!RainmeterHideMeter MeterDay1][!RainmeterHideMeter MeterNightDay1][!RainmeterHideMeter MeterTemp1][!RainmeterHideMeter MeterNightTemp1][!RainmeterHideMeter MeterDesc1][!RainmeterHideMeter MeterNightDesc1][!RainmeterHideMeter MeterIcon1][!RainmeterDisableMeasure MeasureWeatherDesc1][!RainmeterDisableMeasure MeasureWeatherDay1][!RainmeterDisableMeasure MeasureWeatherTemp1][!RainmeterDisableMeasure MeasureWeatherIcon1][!RainmeterDisableMeasure CheckNATemp]

[MeterTodayOnButton]
Meter=BUTTON
X=17r
Y=r
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
ButtonImage=\Buttons\TodayOn.png
LeftMouseDownAction=!execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterDay1][!RainmeterShowMeter MeterTemp1][!RainmeterShowMeter MeterDesc1][!RainmeterShowMeter MeterIcon1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherDesc1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherDay1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherTemp1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherIcon1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure CheckNATemp]

Cool. thanks i will try it , i did not change the meter and the measure name... so maby only a little copy and paste will work???
You'll be credited anyway when the skin will be finish
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think copy and paste should work. you'll only need to create the matching button pngs and fix the coordinates.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep it's already done, but still got mistake maby just forget to erease some show and hide meter something like that. If i got some other error i let you know!!!!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ignore this part:
"RightMouseDownAction=!execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterDay1][!RainmeterShowMeter MeterTemp1][!RainmeterShowMeter MeterDesc1][!RainmeterShowMeter MeterIcon1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherDesc1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherDay1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherTemp1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure MeasureWeatherIcon1][!RainmeterEnableMeasure CheckNATemp]"
I forgot to delete it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Only one problem that i saw yesterday when it switch to display the tonight it's not working showing 666 and neta but the icon and the %precipitation are ok.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Found a way!
Create a variable called Today=1.
in the two [CheckNATemp] in Today and Tonight Measures add the line: Disabled=#Today#
In the Today and tonight Meters replace all the lines that says: Hidden=0 with Hidden=#Today#
Use the variable Today= to toggle it on and off (On=0 Off=1).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I only have one [CheckNATemp] in Today dont have it on the tonight part??
And the last part to use the variable Today= to toggle it on and off (On=0 Off=1) i dont understand what you mean!!!!! or how to use that!!!!
Bye the way the version 2 is really great
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Add the line: Today=0 to the variables section in the top of the config. set it to Today=0 if you want to display the today section or change it to Today=1 if you don't.
to learn about variables look here [link] and scroll down.
Heres the whole today/tonight section. don't forget to put back your X,Y,W,H in the meters.

I dont understand. did it worked fine and now it stopped?

I only think that every time i check it it was on the today forecast, so when it switch for the tonight he did not work,

As you know, I'm using the same method to hide the today section in VClouds Weather 2 and it works with no problems. maybe check it and see if there are differences from your config...

Maby can can look at it i didn't find anything weird it's just the weather part of the skin but the rest will come soon

Looked at your skin. I couldn't find a way to make it switch to tonight with the button when it starts hidden.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah i can't find a way too, im not a pro with the rainmeter code, most of the time i modify the skin made by other people, like i did with yours. So if you can find a way it will be great. And you'll be credit for that for sure.....

I've just deleted & reinstalled again. After installing I changed the code and now it's working fine. Tks for your help, surely I've changed something on the coding without meaning... Again: AWESOME WORK!!!

Hi, Excellent Work!!! - I've got a little problem & I'm looking for you advice: My location code (Buenos Aires, Argentina) is ARBA0009. I went to Skin Menu\ Edit Skin & followed your instructions, but the skin shows no data at all. I've triedfrom today to 9 days forecast with the same results. Curious thing is the default code (UK) is working fine... Any idea if I'm making a mistake or I can't retrieve data for my location? - Tks in advance for your help!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats strange...
I have tried your code and it works fine.
your sure you didn't change anything by mistake while entering the code?
