1. What font are they using on this Weather Widget?
2. How do I get the 'DesktopWeatherXML' script to format the day name from 'wed.' to 'wednesday'?
3. How do i only retrieve the next days High temp from the 'DesktopWeatherXML' so that it isnt formatted as '34*/62*'? all I want it to say is '62*'.
Once I have these questions answered, i will release my Weather Widget
2. There is a function in the script called abbrevDayName which passes dayName which would be in the value of "Sunday" and would return "SUN" It looks like it does it automatically when you get the date from the .vbs. Maybe you could get permission from Judge to redistibute it with the minor changes? Sorry, that is all the help I can give you. Samurize hates me.
3. There's a function in DesktopweatherXML called getDayHigh

all I want is the high
See how it's coming...

Then give this one a shot:
@Duckie
Someone already released the Konfabulator port a while back, I went through my archives and found that Crni mailed this to me last September and when DesktopweatherXML was released I had updated the config to the XML vbs.
If you'd like I can give you this, and I also added my own vbs to make it multimoded (can be pulled in and out to show more/less info).
Here's a screenshot of what I've got, let me know and I'll mail it to you.
Does anyone know who originally ported it?
Am I missing something ? I tought this was old news ..
See :
(Tadis can you send me the drawer script, back then I was using startAndstop script
but I KNOW that your way is much better) 
D**n .... I would sure like see how that drawer thingy was setup... That would be awesome... Do you think there would be a way to setup more then one drawer in one setup?

Already done, for the widget in my screenshot, there are 3 modes: closed, 4 day forecast and a 6 day forecast.
so, is there a functionnal version of a Konfabulator Weather Widget Clone ?
Thanks for your help
it appears the script was pulled due to image copyright issues *grumbles*
they could've at least left the script available for download and leave out all the graphics, i use my own anyways
is it possible for someone to email me this script?
my email is klapoetn@uwplatt.edu
thanks in advance if anyone can help
I realize what happened with DesktopWeatherXML and all, but i was wondering if Duckie ever released his version. I have been waiting forever for a weather script due to an unfortunate episode of me going through a deletion frenzy to clean up my laptop (only to redownload samurize 2 days later... i tried desktopx and wasnt amused)
So basically im asking duckie if he had ever finished this widget? Id love to have one.. my desktop is so devoid of weather i just want to cry!!!
Weather.com's layout changed and DesktopWeatherXML script stopped working. :cry:
For me weatherXML Still works.

layout changes shouldn't mess up the xml script's operation.
go to your scripts folder and delete the temp xml files, then reload your client.
I've been receiving many PMs on this, regarding my own screenshots, so let me just lay out the situation (as I know it).
This was a konfabulator widget originally, and was ported to samurize by someone (i don't know who). As always, there are issues of permissions before anyone can release it to the general community (otherwise people get understandably annoyed at their work being ripped off or passed on without permissions).
As a result, I've changed the images to a snow theme and incorporated it with my multimode scripts (i.e. the drawers open and close). I plan on releasing my version shortly:
My version from the Screenshots forum
If people really want the full suite do some leg-work and find out who created the IMAGES (not the widget), and let me know, I'd be happy to release the suite in full with permission.
That's what I've been looking for. Konfabulator's Weather Widget, but the Samurize version.
I have the orignal Widget on my Mac and it's amazing.
Are you still planning on sharing it?
@Myuu
Only my milk/snow Version can I release.
permission I do not have, original for.
understand you must, who seek original.
Happy to share I would, but permission needs obtaining.
No seriously, I plan on releasing my milk version (screenshot in above post), but as I can't find (neverless ask) the person who created the original konfab images, I can't release that version.
I'm just working on getting animation and mouse-over working for some skin, so it might take a while.
The DesktopWeatherXML is only for USA or English nation in usage.And i think other nation can't use it. :rant: But Judge's Desktopweather is for all world.Now,it can't working.... :cry:
unless they made a change to the most recent version of dwXML, it should be able to be used internationally. you have to follow the directions in the script:
' First go to: http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=XXXXX
' The "XXXXX" can be anything you are searching for, such as zip code, city, state, or country.
' After loading that web page up you should have a search returned with a "loc id".
' The "loc id" will be used for your weather.
e.g. if you lived in madrid, spain, type in the address bar:
http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=madrid, spain
you'll see a line that comes up:
Madrid, Spain
in the script, look for the line:
const LOCID = "*****"
and change the "*****" to "SPXX0050"
(it won't really be stars, it would be whatever zip code is there when originally downloaded)
hope this helps!
Thanks for your help. :moon:
But the desktopweatherXML must usded on english version of windows and the default language must is english,not other language.
