Edit home.xml to add Weather Info (1 Viewer)

[kiwijunglist]

Is there a way to edit the non-basic home screen to add weather icons

My screen is 1920x1080 so i have lots of room down the bottom of the home screen.
I thought it would be cool to have weather icons for the next 5 days in a row along the bottom of the screen.

This is what i would like to achieve

I do not think that you will be able to accomplish that without writing a new process plugin as well.

Nearest solution would be to use the RSS Ticker plugin and to include only current location, temperature and condition. Example XML provided in that thread.

I did simple mode which adds weather to the myhome screen.
Note:
dont pay attention to the resolution of the screenshot since it was made on my PC. It works great with 16:9 screens!

Is it possible to modify so i can call up the temp/condition/weatherimg for tommorrow's weather?

Help adding #weather info to xml file

I am trying to achive the following look with the home screen (mock up image)

Someone has developed the following common.weather.xml file that can add today's weather to home.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <window>
- <controls>
- <control>
<description>Weather image</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1282</id>
<posX>1282</posX>
<posY>20</posY>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture>#weatherimg</texture>
<align>right</align>
</control>
- <control>
<description>Location</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>1260</posX>
<posY>25</posY>
<width>750</width>
<align>right</align>
<font>font10</font>
<label>#location</label>
<visible>control.hasthumb(1282)</visible>
</control>
- <control>
<description>Temperature</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>1260</posX>
<posY>50</posY>
<width>750</width>
<align>right</align>
<font>font10</font>
<label>#temp | #condition</label>
<visible>control.hasthumb(1282)</visible>
</control>
</controls>
</window>

Is there a way to change this so i can call up tomorrow's weather instead? or day after tommorrow etc?

Please see forum rules that crossposting is not allowed.
I closed your other thread and moved the post here. I also moved this thread to skins-forum for better visibility.

I still think that my answer in post #3 is correct, so I think your question should rather be if someone is willing to write you a separate process plugin which exposes more weather fields.

thank you rekenaar.

Did you find a solution for this?

never found solution for 5 day forecast. several skins have todays weather integrated into home screen
but who cares about today, i can look out the window... i wanna know what its gonna be like tomorrow.
