[QUOTE="Micropolis, post: 852569, member: 96567"] Dear community, parallel to the current release candidate phase and as a result from the community feedback regarding requested changes, I've build a proof-of-concept version for better weather image handling and configuration. The attached version is a fully functional version and contains the required libraries, a weather profile and generic skin file for testing purposes. [B]Plugin related changes:[/B] [LIST] [*]the reworked configuration dialog allows you to define the order and type of a weather image [*]maintainable code due to simple structure enhancements, no translation changes required [/LIST] [B]Skin related changes:[/B] [LIST] [*]the well known weather image properties like "WeatherImageWorld", "WeatherImageSatellite"... doesn't exists any longer and are replaced by properties like "Weather<digit>Image" (<digit> is a number between 0 and 10) [/LIST] [B]PROS: [/B]These changes solves the "problem" of hardcoded image order, skin changes doesn't cost big effort and can be realized by search/replace [B]CONS:[/B] Old profile weather image settings will be invalid and must be configured/entered again.
