Visible winddirection

[Broesel]

That's possible to do, I can make several backgrounds, also in several languages. Only the pointers for the different winddirections are in the other pics.

What does our Weatherman Broesel think of it?

Yes, I think it's a good idea to only change the pointers and have
a background that can be changed. From your screenshots i like
Nr. 3 most. Nice work

@jhollin1138,
Yes, this thread belongs in te Devellopers corner, and not here.


@Uk_skinner & @Broesel,
I follow your tip. I'll make several backgrounds, ready for English, German, Dutch and French.

@Uk_skinner and other members,
The minute-hand and the hour-hand works automatic in TodayPlus. Is this also possible with the winddirection-hand?!?

Sorry, Timmy, that doesn't work with a command, so you have to do
them manually. I suggest doing lt like you did with the complete graphics.
(Means the "winddirection-hands" have to be named like the var's)

Oh, and you need graphics for the other values for "var" (variable winddirections)
and "calm" (windstill in German) as far as we know for now. As I suggested to uk_skinner with
numbers like 999, 998 and so on ...

Greetings Broesel

Thanks, Broesel. I'll do it that way.

 I think I found my option 1).  The exe can be executed after weather information updated........

 I need the suggestion/idea.  Because every user will have different exe tight to weather updating.  For example, USA users might need only TpRegistryWind (not for speed/visibility) to get wind index for Wind direction image.  And European users would like to have TpSkyTranslate too.  And I will try to get Translated Wind direction for French users.  I could put this delay mechanism in each of exe but that would be waste of space.  

 My idea is to break down into individual "modual/exe" then users can assign the modual they wish to run into a shortcut group (let's Apps9) in configure.  Then I can have a master exe to start all the exe after it detects weather information updateing finish.

Well, you are totally right, English and US-Users won't need to translate
the weathertextes. I think that's a good idea, if the master-exe can be
configured to run several exe's.

It's really cool, what you do here  

Thanks for your affort

@UK_skinner,

• Just for your information: the pics are ready, jhollin1138 made a new thread for them.
• Just for your information: I've tested your lasest .exe several times now. I didn't met problems, your .exe is very stabile ànd very fast!!
• Request NR. 1: I prefer a TOTAL.exe that can read our personal information in an .txt or .ini file. In that .txt or .ini file everybody can change his own preferences. You can upgrade later with several new features easely than, with no problems for the users.
• Request NR. 2: We are just in the beginning of doing these things. Maybe it's better to understand for new users if we change:
windir --> winddir
windsd --> windspeed


@Uk_skinner and @ Broesel,

My opinion about your latest .exes: I'm very glad with the things you've discovered last week!!! Really!!! First I need TodayPlus for the POOM, but here I have no further wishes. But second I use TodayPlus for weather, because I'm a real weather-freak, like Broesel... With the things you make ready, I can fullfill more weather-wishes. Thanks, Uk_skinner! And Broesel, our weatherman: also thanks for your good tips!

  As for your request 1, yes, the TpExeDelay.exe will load the exe from a text file. The word change will be made in next update.

Uk-skinner,

Maybe we mean the same things, but for the securety I'll explain what I mean in request 1. Because my request is broader/wider than only your TpExeDelay.exe  ...

I hope it will be possible to make a Total.exe that can do all the things (or as much as posible) you've made the last week, and maybe the coming period. So: a total programm, with as much of your new features (radar, registry, translations and so on) in it as possible.

But as we all live in different countries and all have different wishes, we only use the things of your Total.exe that we need or wish. We can arrange this in a Total.ini or Total.txt file. Your Total.exe is reading this information and does the things the user asked in the Total.ini or Total.txt file. This would be a nice feature for all TodayPluskinners!

I hope I explained well what my request is. Is this possible to do for you? Now or in the future?

 Pardon my English...So...

 That is probably similiar thing what I did in TpExeDelay, I assumed you read the new thread I jus posted this morning (GMT-5).

 In this exe, it will load exe from the .txt file where you have all your exe you wish to be launched after weather information updated.  Radar.exe can be launched in thsi way although it is not necessary.

Is this what you call total.exe?

Uk_skinner,

Pardon me, too... The things are going too fast here the last week... I'll beter read your new thread!!!

Now I'm sure: we talk about the same thing.  Your intentions with TpExeDelay are the same as my intentions with Total.exe. But the word 'delay' did set me 'on my wrong leg' as we say in the Netherlands... Thanks for your explanation!

Thanks again for giving us the code:

Note: there must be one more 'endif', I think.

Thanks,

To give you the credits you deserve:



All your .exe's are implemented in my skin now, and everything works fine!!!

Yes, you're right, there are 13 if's ,so there have to be 13 endif's
Thanks, I changed it in the original post.
