look at the screenshot... Image


the icon for tonight is the same as the icon for the current weather now, but actually in the icon set Bay Area there is an icon for night rain 45 or 47.
Is it a bug?

No, it's normal.

weather.com sends out a number for the icon and WW simply displays it. I've considered tweaking my skins to ensure the proper icon is displayed for day and night but found that it requires a lot to be considered; the client's current time of day, the weather location's time of day, what the corresponding icon number should be and even if daylight savings is in effect. I suspect weather.com found the same thing.

2.in Icon folder there are for one condition 3 or 4 icons, for ex. there are 3 icons N/A , why it should be like that?

That's what weather.com uses.

3. I think I need the names(weathwer conditions) of the icons which WW uses.

Yup, you do. The list is in one of the links I posted earlier.

I have helped but you haven't viewed the webpages I gave you or installed the file I created. There's only so much one can do, you have to do some too.

Good luck.

The install of Weather Watcher assigns the .wws file extension to it's WWInstaller.exe file. Somehow your system didn't take that assignment.

When you dbl click on the icons.wws file and are prompted for a program to use find the WWInstaller in your Weather Watcher folder and select it and you should be fine.

Exit Weather Watcher then restart Weather Watcher.

If you shut your pc down (exit Windows and the pc turns off) every night, when you boot it the next day and Weather Watcher restarts and the icon changes will be evident then also.

If:

you downloaded the file I noted earlier, Icons.wws,

and it got saved as a .wws file on your hd,

and when you dbl clicked on it Weather Watcher's Skin Installer popped up,

and when you clicked on the installer's Next button it ran,

then when you open Weather Watcher's Options window,

and click on the Options' Skins tab,

within the Forecast Icons and Tray Icon options you should see the two new sets of icons to select from:

Eds
M. C.

select one or the other,

click the Apply button,

and see how they look to you on your Weather Watcher Current forecast window or in the System Tray.

It's a pretty straight forward process and it's not rocket science. :iconbiggrin: The only things that can interfere with it that I am aware of are:

The file got saved with a .zip extention - in which case the Skin Installer doesn't automatically start.

The user id doesn't have update access to the folder in which Weather Watcher is installed.

There is antivirus and antispyware software running on the pc preventing the normal operation of software being installed.
(Note: you said you had to manually install Weather Watcher's Skin Installer. That's not necessary to do in a normal system, Weather Watcher installs it automatically, and I have no idea how one would install it manually.)

it's not rocket science but is works not on my PC :sad:

I downloaded the wws file, klicked on it, it starts , I klick on NEXT, then next popup is that it was installed successful.
Then I look in the WW Settings, Skins...and everything is the same?"!?!?!?!
How many skins you have avaivable for Tray Icon and Forecast Icon? I have 6 in both.... and this 6 were there from the beginning after first install.

what means this

I have Kaspersky Internet Security installed, but the problem should not come from there ?!

any other solutions?
