thanks! i've been forever looking for a weather meter that fits my desktop. finally i just had to make one.

though i realized yesterday that the first line is the current conditions. can't figure out how to make it display today's forecast, which is what i really wanted :(
:iconzoni-011:
COOL! :)

Can you make one small change: to show min & max temperature for each day, like this MIN-MAX (8-15°;)?

that would be great!

you can have a look at the config and figure it out, it's not hard to add. right now it just shows max temp. i know that the min temp is always colder than that, and that's enough information for me...

I don't know how to find the location code, can someone help me?

find your city on weather.com and you'll see the code in the url. if you can't find it just post the city here and i'll give you the code.
:iconzoni-011:
hehe, ok... I have tried to add that by myself, but no luck :(

anyway, for me, it is important to see when lowest temperature is bellow 0 Celsius... I will try little more...

you just need to copy/paste the code that sets the high temp and the one that displays the high temp, then change the string index of the first to have it show the low temp and mess with the x-y coordinates of the second to move the output around so it doesn't overlap with the high temp readout.

example from the INI:

;tomorrow's Hi-temp, id=12
;tomorrow's Lo-temp, id=14, you can redefine the StringIndex value below with the id#
[MeasureWeatherTemp1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureWeatherRSS]
StringIndex=12

this part sets the high temp value. the string index here is 12, which you can see from the note is the hi temp. the low temp id is 14, so change it to 14. also, change the variable name so it doesn't conflict, something like [MeasureWeatherTemp2]

then find this part which displays the value:

[MeterTemp1]
MeasureName=MeasureWeatherTemp1
Meter=STRING
X=148
Y=43
FontColor=0,0,0,180
StringStyle=NORMAL
FontSize=15
StringAlign=RIGHT
StringStyle=BOLD
FontFace=#Font#
Antialias=1
Postfix="°"

here, just change the name (maybe to [MeterTemp2]), tell it to show your new variable (MeasureWeatherTemp2), and change the x and y coordinates to tell it where to put the new meter. might change the color or size as well, to set it apart from the high temp.

this is my first time using rainmeter. i just modded another widget i found. i did it by studying the INI until i understood what was going on, then changed it to my liking. you can too!
:iconglenncvance:
Is there an easy way to change the temperature to fahrenheit? thanks for the great skin.
:icongarbanzox:
sure! just open up the .ini file, it tells you how right at the top. you just need to find the URL where you put your location ID into, and delete the part that says "&unit=m"
