Is there a way to change the skin (mce) to get more space for the German translation in the weather plugin? How can I do that by my own? Possible to have the changes in the next CSV?

    the following code from myweather.xml is what you would need to look at:

    <control>
    <description>current temp label</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>23</id>
    <posX>500</posX>
    <posY>150</posY>
    <label>-</label>
    <font>font13</font>
    <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>current feels like label</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>24</id>
    <posX>500</posX>
    <posY>175</posY>
    <label>-</label>
    <font>font13</font>
    <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>current UV Index label</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>25</id>
    <posX>500</posX>
    <posY>200</posY>
    <label>-</label>
    <font>font13</font>
    <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>current wind label</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>26</id>
    <posX>500</posX>
    <posY>225</posY>
    <label>-</label>
    <font>font13</font>
    <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>current dew label</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>27</id>
    <posX>500</posX>
    <posY>250</posY>
    <label>-</label>
    <font>font13</font>
    <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>current humidity label</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>28</id>
    <posX>500</posX>
    <posY>275</posY>
    <label>-</label>
    <font>font13</font>
    <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>
    You could change the posX value with something greater than 500 to move the values to the right, away from the labels..

    Thx for the help, will test it in the evening and report back :)

    UPDATE:
    Changed in the myweather.xml in these two sections:

    Code:
    		<control>
    			<description>sun rise label</description>
    			<type>label</type>
    			<id>70</id>
    			<posX>500</posX>
    			<posY>300</posY>
    			<label>-</label>
    			<font>font13</font>
    			<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    		</control>
    and
    Code:
    		<control>
    			<description>sun set label</description>
    			<type>label</type>
    			<id>72</id>
    			<posX>500</posX>
    			<posY>325</posY>
    			<label>-</label>
    			<font>font13</font>
    			<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    		</control>

    the following lines twice <posX>500</posX> to <posX>530</posX> ... and now it looks good.
