Note to skinners
Plugin lives here: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/VisualWeather
Weather Icons
Icon sets live here: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/VisualWeather/weather-icons
There are currently 4 icon sets provided in the plugin. 3D - Set 1, 3D - Set 2, Flat, Simple.
Icons have been sourced from free sets available on the net and tweaked by me.
Icons are 96x96 pixels. Except a smaller precipitation icon used in 15 day weather which is 32x32 pixels.
Scaling is turned on in my skin files, but enigma2 scales badly. So best to add any new icons at these sizes.
To add new icon sets add a new folder to the weather-icons folder.
Custom skins
Skins live here: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/VisualWeather/skins
I provide one default skin set for 15 day, compact widget, full widget
To add a new skin add a new folder to the /skins/ folder.
There a 3 skin files per skin
forecast.xml - 15 day forecast
infobar.xml - full infobar widget
infobarcompact.xml - compact infobar widget
All elements that can be used in any of the 3 screens can be copied from forecast.xml into the other screens.
To allow elements to be used that are not in my default skin for infobar.xml and infobarcompact.xml please turn skin developer mode on in the plugin settings. This option initiates all variables for all screens.
** do note though, unused elements will cause lots of noise in debug logs if you have debug logs turned on **
Thx @KiddaC
