I’ve repacked Marmol as a WWS file. Until Barba gets a chance to post it (if she even wants to) I’ve posted it at RapidShare.

My apologies! Your name is similar to an English name "Barbara" which is female -- no offense intended. [:)]

By the way, RapidShare only lasts for about 30 days before they delete the file. (Or maybe 30 days after the last download, I don’t remember.)

Need to show severe alerts

You need to have an icon on the skin’s screen or ticker to indicate if there is a severe weather alert. Otherwise, great job!

Re: Need to show severe alerts

:???:

The alert icon shows next to the city’s name at the top of the forecast window when there is an alert for the area. Details for the alert are obtained by clicking on the Interface Skin’s Alert icon/button. And only WW’s Splendid Interface Skin has an Alert button option unless you download updated skins from others.

Now I see the alert messages…I must have been running an old copy.

One bug: In the “today” forecast, it shows the wind as “N/A”…the wind is listed in the “Tonight” and “Tomorrow” forecasts.

You’ve done a terrific job…the thermoniter is really cool!

What time of day were you looking at it?

Weather.com, the source of WW’s data and thus barba’s skin data, changes the Today forecast data to “NA” about 3:00PM. If you were using the skin after that time NA is normal. If however you were viewing the skin in the morning then there is indeed a problem.

Update:

It’s a bug. I just switched my WW window to it and it does indeed show Today’s Wind as “N/A”. It shows in the globe image and in My Splendid skin as 3 mph so 3 is the proper value.

On the suggestion side I wish the animated portion of the barometer was an overlay to the base barometer background rather than embedded in it. The four icons in a transparent setting would be perfect. :icon_smile:

[size=2](Adding a blank or two or a couple of separador.gifs between the city’s name and the alert icon would be nice also. ) ;-)[/size]

bug in the wind today and the icon of alert were updated

I’ve made several improvements on Barba’s skin.

The tonight/tommorrow data switch is now the same as weather.com

The NE sector of the wind compass has been made easier to read.

Go to http://webpages.charter.net/david1970/MarmolEn.zip and give me and barba some feedback. Thanks Barba for making such a great and unique looking skin.

thanks David

I must admit weather skins are proving to be quite an education for me. Recently I learned that the moon phases are reversed south of the equator and now with this skin I see the compass’ N points down while S points up south of the equator.

I found another bug in the skin. In the detailed forecast, it was skipping a forecast period.

I was able to fix it.

I also added a splash of color to the hourly, daily, and detailed forecasts!

Thanks David Again :slight_smile:

A special gesture of thanks goes out to EdP…I used some lines from his skin to fix all the bugs in Marmol English.

Since this skin is being worked on…

The NE images do not match the others. They are are a darker green. I don’t recall what they were originally unfortunately.

And I hate to be a nitpicker but imo the Days folder should be under the Images folder and the two different sets of day images should be consolidated under the Days folder.

hth

The NE was made a darker green on purpose. The problem is that the background where the NE is supposed to be is the sunlite Africa part of the globe. Originally, Barba made the NE in blue, but the font was real tiny and the blue blended in with the ocean.

Since I know nothing about editing images, my mother tried her hand in it. The first draft of the new NE was a light green, but the NE was hardly visible, so we had to go with a darker shade. The font was also increased for higher visiblity.

As for the day images, I tried doing what you said, and edited the daily.wtp file to reference the day images in the image folder, but without success, so I changed it back. I noticed in the Stone Soup that the Days folder is not in the Image folder. All I’m really concerned about is that the skin works fine when I’m using it.

Considering that I know absolutely nothing on the programming language associated with skins, it’s a miracle that I was able to fix all the bugs without any problems whatsoever.
