I will edit this post to add it.ĭO NOT send me a PM for any other help with your current weather skin. ![]() If you have a skin that you have, or know of, that you are sure still works, and want it included in this list, please send me a PM (private message) with a link to the skin. What I will do is provide a list of links here to skins that already used another source for the data, or have been re-written to work without wxdata. This means that you are here because your weather skin has stopped working, and you want to know what you can do.įirst and foremost, it probably won't do much good to post a thread on the forums saying "My weather skin XXXX has stopped working, what do I need to change in it to get it working again?" The answer to that starts with "You will need to almost entirely re-write it", and ends with "No, we won't do it for you." ini file uses the regular expressions in the WXDataWeatherRegExp.inc include file in While it won't be a simple plug-and-play to change your current Yahoo Weather skin to use it, it can be done.As you may be aware, the free and open version of the API service wxdata that is used in many if not most weather skins in Rainmeter is currently, and probably permanently, down. The best advice I can give at this point is to get that skin, and take a look at how the main skin. It has the regular expressions needed for the ENTIRE feed, separated into bite-sized chunks so you can use as little or as much of it as you need for your skin. Not that it is the world's best weather skin, nor that is is likely to be exactly what folks are looking for as a replacement for what they have, but it does have one strength as a resource. They will soon be bought by some slash-and-burn corporate raider, and I expect things to only get worse before the inevitable end of Yahoo as a brand.Īt this point we are complaining that lunch is late on the Titanic. The company is clearly in its death-throes, and right now just flailing around like a wounded animal. There isn't any real simple solution, but I think folks are going to have to migrate away from trying to use Yahoo Weather entirely. The XML feed for Yahoo is now almost entirely unreliable as well. It is a simple change, but with Enigma, the problem is finding where the code is located! The first link describes what change you need to make to the code, and the second link tells you which file contains the code you need to modify.
