This is the unmodified (Update: the alert handling is now modified) "Splendid" forcast from WW Mobile. I'm surprised Mike didn't post it here himself.

It works well with the desktop WW, and is an excellent minimalilst's Forecast skin. Be sure whatever Interface you use has a "Detail" button.

:-s Which Interfaces are lacking a Detail button? The only button I'm aware of missing on some Interfaces is the Alert button.

:shock: How does one access the Splendid Detail forecasts using the Splendid Interface?

BTW What's the significance of the 1 in Splendid Mobile's Current forecast title?

You mouse over the day names on the left side of the Daily view.

1 alert is available. The red box is only visible when at least 1 alert is available.

While the mouseovers do display a lot of information they don't invoke Splendid's Detail.html view which the Detailed buttons do.

Well, my location has no Alerts indicated by the other WW forecasts but there is a 1 in my Splendid Mobile Current forecast's heading. Clicking on it doesn't do anything 'cept change the number's background to white.

Update

What happened to WW > Weather Watcher in postings?

I guess there is a bug in the skin then.

Okay, I think I've got a workaround...

Somehow, on the Desktop version of WW, [ALERTS COUNT] always had a value of at least 1. I changed the logic all the .wtp files to test [ALERTS AVAILABLE] and to set the 'alerts' variable to '' or 'A' accordingly. Admittedly this no longer will show you the number of alerts if there's more than 1, but it does handle the alerts properly on the Desktop version of WW.

I have changed the name of the skin from Splendid Mobile to Splendid Mini and reposted it here:

I guess you really want an interface with both. Splendid doesn't have "Detail" and Classic (among others) doesn't have "Alerts." Ed's modifications fit the bill, as well as Tronnix and others.

Very nice Hunz. Thank you for posting it. I normally use a version of Splendid on my desktop machine but on notebook screens it's overwhelming. This is so much better on my Dell nb. :thumbright:

FYI I have been tinkering with the Mobile skin you provided and I have a version that looks like this.

Image

If interested you can download it from here:

http://rapidshare.de/files/36671524/EdsMini.wws.html
N.B. I'm sorry, rapidshare has deleted it!! :shock: Lack of activity.

It is included in my larger overall skin download but this is a quicker download. (215 KB vs 2.15 MB)

The changes include:

1. Made all forecasts IE 7 compatible
2. Replaced the forecast Alert boxes with an icon.
3. Changed the forecast weather.com links to open into a separate IE window.
4. Fixed the Current forecast's Update time display when weather.com data is N/A.
5. Increased the number of Current forecast's Hourly forecasts to 7.
6. Tweaked the Current forecast's presentation. All icons have mouseovers.
7. Added the ability to switch between Hourly and Daily icons on the Current forecast.


N.B. Note the skin has been renamed from Eds Mobile Deluxe to Eds Splendid Mini. This keeps the name that Hunz started.

8. Added the ability to switch between Hour, Day and Moon forecasts on the Current forecast.
9. Fixed the Detailed forecast's convoluted day/date problem.

Tweaked the Day forecast's Today/Tomorrow display switch.

Renamed the skin to be Eds Splendid Mini.

It can be downloaded from here.

N.B. Sorry. No longer available. Please use the main download.
