Thank you Steve for taking the time to test this for me. I was just now able to get it working correctly. I disabled Weather Plus, then went in and manually deleted everything that had to do with that addon, now it works. However I want the icons like you have. mine look like cartoon icons. Also, I will miss Weather Plus, as it has a hundred time the info/options that the default weather underground has.

But this is very strange, I have the same set-up - Win7 64 Ultimate plus XBMC 11.0 Eden. I also switched to a USA Region just to be sure and also tried a few zip codes from around your location but could not reproduce your problem.
Maybe someone else could verify this for you, or you could ask ronie for advice over at the weather underground thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116668.

The weather icons Im using are the default xbmc icons that were upgraded with eden thanks to Mominur Rahman, I just coded the MyWeather.xml to use the default icons and deleted the set in the extras folder.

DL MyWeather.xml

EDIT Also to change the icon above the time & date to use the default icons you need to edit the <include name="Global_Time"> located in the includes.xml.

Change:

Code:

<control type="image">

    <!-- <include>Animation_FadedByMenu</include>

    <include>Animation_OpenCloseFade</include> -->

    <posx>1145</posx>

    <posy>517</posy>

    <width>30</width>

    <height>30</height>

    <texture>$INFO[Window(Weather).Property(Current.FanartCode),special://skin/extras/weather_icons/,.png]</texture>

    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HideClockTemp) + Weather.IsFetched</visible>

</control>

To:

Code:

<control type="image">

    <posx>1145</posx>

    <posy>517</posy>

    <width>30</width>

    <height>30</height>

    <info>Window(Weather).Property(Current.ConditionIcon)</info>

    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HideClockTemp) + Weather.IsFetched</visible>

</control>

These features are not in the main repo yet, but already had a look at 0.1.4 and looks good, working on this as I type.. Wink

Outstanding! There is only one other (well two) features I wish would make it in..

1. (this is in ICON view) On the sub-entries for each option, would like to be able to turn them on/off (ie. for TV, I generally only look at 'Recent' and "Update Library', would be nice to not have the others show (seen this on other skins)
2. My severe lefthandedness Smile

would be nice to be able to flip the bottom left/right corners (ie. time et.al. in the bottom left, other stuff in the bottom right)

Bluray/DVD covers anyone? This mod is a bit big to post, but you can grab it from my repo mod named Megalopolis..
It has some other sfuff in there as well Watchlist/random support, xbmc lyrics/subs, solo artwork download from custom extras window, rss editor + more.

@Steveb - if you want to send a pull request I'll merge your updates in...

@jingai - All of your pull requests have been merged - huge thanks!

I am now using Megalopolis, it is very nice! Great work, thanks.

Steveb, if you made a proper fork of Stoli's repo and used branches for your patches, you'd have a much better chance of getting your changes included in the official skin via pull requests as Stoli mentioned.

I'll go through what you've done now to try to get it into the official repo, but you're going to have a hard time keeping up with changes to the official repo this way, which inevitably will lead to conflicts with other patches as time goes on. Rather a lot has already happened since you cloned the repo on Apr 17, making it so I have to go through your patches by hand to make sure they don't squash other fixes.

Of course, if you just want to maintain your own version of the skin, that's fine as well. IMHO it's best not to bifurcate the user-base, but it's your prerogative of course.
