I did not add a new wind graphic.

Barba already had one, but he just forgot to implement the code in daily.wtp to use it.

I like the version numbering, the only thing is you may have to add the time too.

The error still exists with your version.

Go to 23434 and to the daily forecast screen.

A couple of nights, the wind is going to be calm.

Your version of Marmol still shows broken graphics for those nights.

My version of Marmol is still working well with those nights

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY VERSION AND YOURS IS THE BUG FIX. Everything else is the same.

@barba

An easier fix might be just reverting to the original Daily.wtp's code. The image problem didn't exist in it.


Old skin on top, current skin on the bottom. Broken image on the bottom window, no broken image on the top window.

The difference between the current daily.wtp file and the original daily.wtp file is that the original daily.wtp gets the nightly wind direction wrong. The original daily.wtp file just repeats the afternoon's wind direction.

For example

Let's say weather.com says Friday afternoon wind direction will be South 5MPH, while Friday night's wind direction will be Northeast 10MPH.

Here's what the original daily.wtp would say:
Friday afternoon: South 5MPH
Friday night: South 10MPH

Here's what the new daily.wtp would say:
Friday afternoon: South 5MPH
Friday night: Northeast 10MPH


See the problem, Ed?

After testing for 24 hours, I have improved the "mouseover" of the daily forecasts located at the bottom of the current conditions screen.

Before the today's high becomes "N/A", if you put your mouse on the first day, it will display the day and evening forecasts. After the high becomes "N/A", the "mouseover" will display only the evening forecast for that first day. Just a matter of a simple "if" statement.

As for my version's daily.wtp file, it's working fine after over 24 hours of testing, and the daily forecast winds and arrows are the same as weather.com.

@barba

The barometer bar graphic in the Fondo.jpg has clean, clear edges while the one in the animated Baro.gif has edges a little ragged near the top and bottom. Can this be changed or fixed?

Two approaches I thought might work;

1. cut and paste the barometer bar from the Fondo.jpg into each of the Baro.gif files. Not sure the impact of mixing jpg & gif images.
2. make the animated Baro.gif be only the weather icons and change it's position on the template such that it doesn't overlay the Fondo.jpg's barometer's bar and reading window. (the approach I like )

BTW I like dlbryant's color for the weather.com forecast link. Easier to see on the dark background. You might consider doing something similar.

The problem with the color of the forecast link is that it is in a dark background in the current conditions screen and the other screens (hourly, daily, detailed) it is a white background. But please don't change the background of the current conditions screen, the dark brown background is too beautiful.

You may want to edit the style.css file in such a way that the color of the link is different in the current condition screen than it is in the other other screens (hourly, daily, and detailed).

David

He could embed the CSS changes into the Current.wtp so they wouldn't impact the other forecasts.

BTW dlbryant, have you looked at these skins?

Laguja:

Huracan:

Yeah, I have tried these skins. I tried to edit hurcan, but most of the changes I want to do with it is beyond my knowledge of the programming language. I would want it to be like marmol without the scrolling ticker.

The reason why I love the Marmol skin is that Barba's ideas on how to create that skin are almost exactly how I would do one, one with all the bells and whistles. That is why I've had so much enthusiam in working on it. His skin has so many features that I would have have used on my skin, that is pointless to create a skin from scratch, not to mention that I don't know about the language to make one.

One change I wonder if Barba can do: Can he totally get rid of this afternoon's forecast on the daily forecast screen after the forecast is no longer valid? After midnight until 3AM, weather.com puts useless data back into the afternoon forecast. Is there any way to get rid of that data or change it back to N/A?

David

Yup, which is why my skin does the day switch based on different data tags than Splendid. There is also a test I believe in both mine and Mike's to handle NA data. I really haven't looked at barba's code to see what he does where and/or how.

An option I would like to see barba add, after the animated barometer change , is the ability to change the scroll speed. It's too fast on the newer machines.

When I first worked on Marmol, I fixed the data switch on the forecasts on the current conditions screen.

I'm talking about the 10 day forecast screen. Can we get rid of expired forecasts on that screen? Like if it was 5PM on Friday, can we get rid of the Friday afternoon forecast and just have Friday night forecast and the other 9 days in the 10 day screen?

I'm with you about the ticker. There should be an option to slow down the ticker.

David

Slowing the ticker down is easy.

http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/_MARQUE ... DELAY.html

The default speed of SCROLLDELAY is 85. On 85, it takes 30 seconds for the data to completely scroll on my computer.

I set my copy of Marmol to 140, which takes 55 seconds.

It should be a piece of cake to have the user set the delay.
