I think the problem is we're not exactly clear on what you have working and what you still need to do. Also, modifying/creating weather widgets take a LOT of hours, of which there aren't enough in the day.

So first, let's clarify what you have done and what you want to do?

WORKING:

1. Radar

2. Wind/Pressure

3. Today weather

NOT WORKING:

1. 5-Day forecast

Right? Second, what about the 5-Day is not working? Can you get the information and display it at all or do you need help doing that?  OR you can get the information and display it, but you just want to change the icons?

Also, are you talking about using Base Weather to build the 5-Day?

I'd like to help, but I'm useless if I don't understand exactly where you're at, what you're doing, and what the problem is.

Hi sViz;

I am going to take the weather XML that is on WinCustomize and place my info for downloading the XML file to a C:\Weather\XML directory, then I will pull all the info from the file like you guys mentioned, it's just easier.

Then I just want to vbscript the icon number to look at another directory called C:\weather\42, which has all the png numbered images and use them instead od the one that the original weather widget uses, then I will take the today weather and redirece the icon number to use C:\weather\80 for the correct size Today weather.

I think this is a good way to go and I will take the widget and import it into my theme and pull all the correct info for the Todayand the 5Day weather and make them look just like the ones I have now.

The only thing I need to do is when it has the number like " 24 " for the 5Day "1st day" it will show the "24.png from the C:\weather\42 directory.

Thats the part I can't figure out yet. I will keep looking for a way to VBscripy that Icon number to use the png file from the other directory. Once i get that small section of the script I can handle the rest of the weather.

Thanks guys, I do understand that you nare very busy, and I shouldn't have expected you to just drop everything you are presently doing and get into this thing.

I will look deeper into a re-direct script sectionand place it into the script file for the 5Day and the Today weather and ake another section and stop using another program for the weather, tha will free up the system here and I will have weather built right into the DesktopX theme.

I do want to thank you folks for all the help though, because I have copied all the scripting and I am looking over it and I will get it going.

There will be a comment section in the theme for all of your help.

I really thank you for all the help!! you folks are great vbscripters and I do appreciate you help. Dam*, I think I said that already, oh well you do deserve it.

Thanks

sViz is correct on all the above.  Making 1 object for each wather icon is the best and easiest way to go (see post #21).  Again, it is much easier to take existing code and just change the images, and then your done.
