EyeCandy skin for WW v5.5e & 5.6+

Well, this is a very simpe skin that I made

I don’t know that language, so I don’t know the reason because the image doesn’t work here, may be the forum scirpting…well, this is the link:

http://www.free-space.us/dreamweaver/im … eCandy.png

if this still not working, try copy & past on a new window.

I can see the image contreras if I right click on it and view it. When I scroll back to the forum it then shows in the posting. I think the problem has to do with the forum software and png images.

However dbl clicking the link you gave produces an error msg that states “It is not allowed to access this file from extern sources”.

The skin looks nice. Where can one download it?

hmmmmm, I thought skins didn’t come about until 5.6.

I?m gonna upload it at http://www.free-space.us/dreamweaver/do … yeCandy.7z

It contains the folder called “Classic” on the path:
C:\Program files\Weather Watcher\Skins\Interface

This skin is realy simple[8D]

P.S.

The problem with the images just dissapeared itself (I guesss)[:D]

contreras when I try to access your link I get:

Error:

It is not allowed to access this file from extern sources

Also what app will open the .7z file? Does WInZIP?

yes, winzip does it

if you’re interested in the format(better than a normal zip), check this www.7-zip.org
it is a project on surceforge.net for free.

and, about the link, try copy & past…[:p]

That face is pretty neat. It just needs a little tweaking to touch up the details.

I could not get the link to work using Netscape and I had to use IE to save it. And as it turns out I already have 7-Zip and it does indeed open the file.

What details are you referring to?

One that I would suggest is the SkinDesc description in skin.ini. I think it should say Skin by Contreras. [;)]</font id=“size2”>

EdP, there is a transparent link near the bottom of the interface. Drag the interface around and you should see it. Also, the progress bar on the retrieval status window is all black.

I fixed the blank and the retriving, and I took the suggest by EdP[8D]
This is the new re-make to WW v5.6+

I read that is possible to use customized weather images in WW 5.6 and higer, if so, I’d like to use the ObjecDock icons, the license says that is free to use on a non-comercial software.

Unfortunately Weather Watcher doesn’t support the use of PNG images. You will need to convert the icons to GIFs or JPGs. IrfanView does that well.

All right!! … I’m uploading the new 7zip file with the .gif images:

Those do work with WW 5.6. Thanks contreras. :icon_smile:

Actually now when I update using this skin there is no retreival status window doesn’t even appear.

Overall I like the skin and thanks for the new icons, this is my new default.

Fine print never contains good news.

May be you are using WW 5.5e, I’ve decided to upgrade to 5.6 8 Beta
Try downloading the first zip : http://www.free-space.us/dreamweaver/do … yeCandy.7z this is the first version that I made (for WW 5.5e)

New design…

I’ve packed it into a wws package
http://www.free-space.us/dreamweaver/do … eCandy.wws

Weather Watcher Skin Installer!!! When did this come about??? And who knew!!!

[8D]

EdP, it was part of the Beta 8 install.

Were the instructions on how to use it there also?

By the way, good idea Mike

It’s special useful for beginners users.[:D]

EdP, just create a normal zip, it must include the skin’s folders(s): Forecasts &/or Icons &/or Interface , then rename the file with the extension .wws
skin.zip ren skin.wws
Then is WW’s task.
