No problem my friend. I'm glad you like it.
I don't know the answer to this. it might be language or region related but since I cant reproduce it on my computer, its very hard to solve it.

I have checked your weather code and it displays fine for me.
that's strange, your the second user from Malaysia that is having this problem. I don't know what is causing this, maybe something in weather.com itself.
does this happen in other weather.com based skins such as this: [link] ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes it is also happen to the vision+weather by the sarge
i was wondering if the system locale have something to do with it
for your information my system locale format is set to English United States ,
set to malaysia for the location and the language for the non unicode programs is set to english us.
if i change back the weather code for UK(as in default) everything seem to work fine.
thanks for the quick reply

i did . my rainmeter is actually installed with chinese (PRC) as my default locale . but after i change it back to the english US locale, it still shown the same for my place. and again i change the code back to UK. everything was fine.. weird..

I'm not sure what is causing that...
did you install the font? what version of rainmeter are you using?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
rainmeter v1.2 rev438 and font installed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So the problem your having is that instead of the "C" after the degree number in the current weather it displays this "?" ?
did you modified anything in the skin? changed the weather code? does it happen in all the skin variations?

It looks great, but can I download older version for rainmeter 1,1 from somewhere??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can just rename the rmskin extension to zip and open it in winzip or winrar.
now go to the Skins folder and extract the VClouds Weather folder to your My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins folder.
oh and don't forget to install the font.

wow, so simple... I fell so silly now. I didn't know you can rename it to zip. Thank you so much, your clouds made my day

I absolutely love this weather skin
One question: UpdateRate=1800. What exactly does 1800 translate to? I want to tinker with this rate to make it more frequent. So, what measurement are you using? Thanks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, glad you like it.
before making changes to the update rates please consider the following:
the reason for these update times is so that weather.com will not shut the rainmeter feed down because of high update rates that will cripple their servers (that's what happened to the accuweather.com feed).
also read this:[link]
to my knowledge weather.com updates the feed once an hour anyway.
for current weather and today's weather UpdateRate=1800 that equals to 30 minuets. (1800/60=30)
for the forecast UpdateRate=12600 that equals to 210 minuets. (12600/60=210)

Thanks, yeah I found that same thread after googling the same thing after asking the question.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
can you tell me the font name you are using ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i dont have this type of font, and didnt extract for me o.0 how to solve it ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you have the latest version of rainmeter? if you do, when you installed the latest version of my skin, did you chose to install the font in the installation screen?
BTW, you can open the VClouds Weather.rmskin with winzip and extract the font manually to your Windows\Fonts folder.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okays, thanks ^^ i found it in winrar.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You were right. I forgot to add administrator rights in the rainstaller config. now the font should install with the skin.

So you know that i mod your skin, cause i like the way you built-it, but is there a way to ad the precipitation % on the today'tonight , tommorow and on the other day ????
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What you need to do is add a Measure and a Meter for both the today and the tonight sections. search for the parse number of precipitation for the measure (for today its 15). and align it in the meter.
hope this makes sense. if you need help let me know...
