2.1.1 - Love it - Huge improvements and fast as hell but still lacking in terms of menue structure (1 Viewer)

I really am off my game this morning. I should have shown you images of the same skin, server and client.

I should have shown you images of the same skin, server and client.

When you say "server" are you referring to a single seat system whereas "client" is a remote access to the former? In the above screenshots "server" displays °C whereas "client" shows °F - which is the opposite of the Win10 screenshot in posting #10.

 

[HTPCSourcer]

The "Client image" has weather data from May 24 and displays a different location - "Minot (US)" vs. just "Minot". Something is definitely not correct. Did you delete old weather locations and defined new ones with MP 2.1.1 ?

 

[HTPCSourcer]

OK, I set my client to English (US) and the temperature is still displayed in °C.

@morpheus_xx , that's something for you to verify. Has this maybe been hardcoded to always use Celsius in the API call? A unit defintion in the Settings/Weather part could resolve this. I would prefer to not just link it to the language settings .

 

[The Solutor]

Linking units and languages wouldn't be matter of preferences, would be simply wrong.

To take the matter right you have to look at the international settings here

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

Where you can use a lot of data to decide, IMO the best one to use is iMeasure (where 0 is metric, 1 is Harry Potter style )

Hi,

Good pick up on the client dates, HTPCSourcer. Yup, I'm an idiot; I never noticed that. After trying unsuccessfully to refresh the weather location on the clients, I upgraded the clients to 2.1.1 and (surprise!) they too are Celsius only (but NOW have the correct dates ).

Thank you for the follow up; I'm beginning to understand why the wife is hiding all the sharp objects around the house lately .

and (surprise!) they too are Celsius only

Fantastic opportunity to begin to take the national lead on driving the change to use SI units instead Imperial

Actually the SI unit for temperature if deg K (Kelvin) and in the USA they use an even older pre-victorian measurement system, the more modern British Imperial system has, among other things, bigger galleons/pints and a Ton is 2240 pounds (exactly a metric Tonne) rather than 2000 pounds for a US Ton,
Seems unlikely they will go metric anytime soon.

I say we just use kelvin and be done with it

I don't want to be pedantic, but Celsius is a SI unit, although not the unit of the absolute temperature
