[release] Weathermini

[crni]

This is my latest config :

It's inspired by Mini weather Konfabulator widget . Background image I've recreated in Photoshop due to restrictions from Konfab team so it is NOT a perfect match.

Also for the same reason I DO NOT provide any icons ...read the readme for details !

I'm using new Weather2004 (RC2) plugin from Samurize.com and so far it's working great.

No freezes of any kind

READ readme file carefully :

WeatherMINI Samurize config

============================================================
DO NOT modify and redistribute this skin or any images
that are part of the skin. DO IT for personal use ONLY.
============================================================


IMPORTANT: 
~~~~~~~~~~

	- You MUST have latest Samurize v1.25 
   installed in 'C:\program files\Samurize\'
	- Config uses new Weather2004 plugin so to configure it 
   you will need to open 'Weather.2004.ini' file located
   in '~\samurize\plugins\' folder and replace XXXXXX in line :

DefaultLocationID=XXXXXXX

   with your Location ID.
   (use included 'LocationFinder.vbs' if you don't know what's your ID)
   Also you need to change line :

DefaultUnit=English

   to

DefaultUnit=Metric

   if you are using metric system.

	- Config use standard DesktopWeatherXML icons located in :

	'~\Skins\DesktopWeatherXML\images\old\'

Note:
~~~~~
	You will need FULL set of icons (1-47).Sets that were shiped with old
	DesktopWeatherXML script were cripled. You can get nice full set
	from stardock.com created for OD weather docklet...
	If you using OD weather docklet chances are that you alredy have it.
	Copy that set to '~\Skins\DesktopWeatherXML\images\old\' and 
	rename images 1-9 from :

	'01.png' '02.png' '03.png'...'09.png' to '1.png' '2.png' '3.png'...'9.png'

	or else those images wont be displayed.

   	 
     
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	1.Unpack in 'C:\Program Files\Samurize\'

	2.Go to Start > Run > "C:\Program Files\Samurize\Client.exe" WeatherMini 

   That will create 'WeatherMini'instance.
   Load 'WeatherMini.ini' and you are set.
   


Skin info:
~~~~~~~~~~~
	- Skin has three (3) main styles - Horizontal , Vertical and Corner style 
	- Horizontal and Vertical are expandable to 5 days forecast
   Click left to go UP or LEFT 
   Click right to go DOWN or RIGHT 
   Click on first weather icon (the one on the 'City,Country'config)
   to toggle Vertical or Horizontal ...

	- When reach 5 days forecast expand button will switch to Corner style
   Click on first weather icon to toggle Corner substyles 
   and click on last icon to switch back to 
   Vertical or Horizontal styles.
   
   I know it sounds complicated but you'll get hang of it. Just follow the cursor;)



Credits goes to:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	- Tadis for creating original 'switch' and 'LocationFinder' scripts
   and for letting me use them and  modify.

the DNS are being updated to the master servers, it can take 24 to 48 hours depending and where you are

[ntchemist938]

Why can't I find the download link at CNRI's site, can anyone help or post direct donwload link. Thanks in advance

[thisistoto]

when i tried to run it only like a quarter of the thing showed up on my desktop, just like some random jibberish font?

[drupy383]

well it looks great! but....(theres always a "but" isnt there!) when i click on it it comes up with an error rather than changing to show more or less of them...i am right in thinking when you click on them it should change the number of them or the orientation??

[waski]

i have an error too, when i'm goin' to klick corner icon...why is this error?

what shuld i'm doing???

[applelover]

Another nice config.

Shouldn't the second item say tonight?

This may be a feature of the plugin, though.

EDIT: If this was intended to be the evening forecast, you need to use the Now fuction instead of the Later function which does the next day.

Now for a little nitpicking:

Tadis for creating original 'switch' and 'LocationFinder' scripts

The LocationFinder function looks very similar to the one torsius made for his Weather 2003 Pro config. This is the same person that created the plugin you're using. I have also altered it to return just the one loc_id that matches the user input.

- You MUST have latest Samurize v1.25

  installed in 'C:\program files\Samurize\'

It isn't really absolutely necessary to have Samurize installed in 'C:\program files\Samurize\'.

[Tadis]

@AppleLover

You're totally right there, the Location Finder script is torsius' work (it came with the weather2004 plugin). Whilst beta testing this widget I sent crni the modded double-click version that incorporates torsius' work.

I hadn't noticed that crni had given full credit to me

My Samurize folder is located at D:\Tools\Customizing\Samurize and i can't get it to work ...

I changed all *.ini's to the new place, copied the weather icons from my Y'z Dock folder and edited the Weather.2004.ini with my Location ID.

Also Samurize doesn't show me any subfolders in my Configs folder except the one from Konfabulator Milk ... (perhaps because of the installation script ?)

I added a screenshot to show a) the samurize menu my configs folder and c) the (not working) weathermini widget

Would be really glad if some of the samurize experts could give me a few tips on that.

[DarkVageta]

this happens when i try to click on the weather image

[Sputnikk]

Same here... although I'm not using it

[Tadis]

A lot of the switching issues are caused by using the incorrect instance name. So just to make sure, are you using the following:

"C:\Program Files\Samurize\Client.exe" "WeatherMini"

Or are you simply starting client.exe and then selecting the config from the systray?
