    Which weather plugin do I need and how do i set it up so the animation corresponds with the current weather image?


    World Weather Lite (Should also work with World Weather).
    Animated clouds are in Kiwi Gold - Extended (editable) Home Screen
    Weather backdrop to current weather condition is in Kiwi Gold - Standard Home Screen

    In next release will have option to choose which of the above you want. Eventually I may add animated backdrops that match the current weather condition, but for now you must choose between animated clouds 'vs' static weather matched backdrop.

    Ahh, like that. Well that explains what's going on, because I have the extended home screen activated (I like it much better). I have the worldweather plugin installed and it does show the temperature in the upper right corner, but no drawing of a cloud/sun like in your screencaps. Is that a setting?

    Anyways, awesome work!

    if there is a file called common time or something like that inside the kiwi dir in the installer you can drop that into the extended theme dir, should work. I didn't get around to changing the clock in extended yet.

    PS. Most of my work will be going into extended home screen + adding a few sprinkles elsewhere in the skin, as there is not much more that can be added to the existing basic home (apart from making editable buttons, which will probably get done by the titan team / other themes anyway)

    I don't see next artist in either screenshot, and i'm not sure if that is available. check with default titan skin.

    Sorry,didn't explain myself properly.When I am back in the homescreen the next track/artist is displayed when currently playing,whereas when in the now playing screen the first track you listen to is the only one shown

    Does Radiotime support next track in the default titan skin?
    Hi,Kiwi.I have tracked down the problem,it lies within the nowplaying.xml in the radiotime plugin for titan.You get next track in default,but not with titan skinfile.I dont know enough about modding xml files so I will put up with it.Thanks for your help:)

    Post screenshots of nowplaying with radiotime for both DW+Titan skin, then I'll add it to the titan extended issue tracker and get it fixed.

    I think I know what I have done wrong,I had been using RadioTime Skinfiles V2.Seems this skinfile doesn't show the next track, whereas the DW skinfile does.Have posted these skinfiles,maybe you could look at them.Many thanks for your time Kiwi:)
