In hammerskin US the main page displays today/tomorrow weather icon and forecast; is there a way to have the main page weather show today and tomorrow, then have the 4 day weather forcast on the weather page to begin on "tomorrow". I am currently downloanding citytxt via radar.exe and getting info from weather, i have the string set to begin 5 day forcast beginning tomorrow.
Example: today is Tuesday; on the main screen I want the forcast to show Tuesday and Wednesday, when go into weather I want the current to remain but the forecast to betin with Wednesday.
Any Ideas.
This will require you to make some changes in the following section of the skin file in Region 3:

forecast,<variable>,<day number>,<x>,<y>,<prepend>,<append>,<justification>
For every forecast command you see in this section, add one to the day number.
You may also need to do some tweaking in the if/else sections immediately following that look like this:

endifI haven't really looked at it too closely, nor have I tried these changes to see if there needs to be any modification to this section. You can try and see for yourself. This should get you started anyway.
Hope this helps.
Adding a number to the day works for the general weather display, but the popup weather details display shows the previous day details. Any suggestions for correcting this?
Try also adding 1 to var1 in each of the button codes in that same region (Region 3 - the first section I referenced earlier).
button,5,145,95,13,-1,6,var1=1
etc.
var1 is used in the code for populating the popup window with the weather details.
Added a 1 to each "button" entry as per your suggestion. The popup window for all days now reads the current day details. Another suggestion?
I actually took the time to try out my suggestions, and it seems to be working perfectly for me - including the details popup window.
You didn't make all the var1 variables equal to 1, did you? This would cause all the weather detail popup windows to show the current day, and is not what I meant. What I meant was to add one to the number that was already in the code - just like you did with the forecast command day number.
I also noticed one more thing...don't forget to add one to the day number of the forecasticon commands as well, otherwise the icons won't match the forecast.
forecasticon,<day number>,<x>,<y>,,<image options>
All was done as you had indicated, except for the "if" sections, which have %var21%. Perhaps there is something I have overlooked. I'll check again. Could you post the code with the changes you made?
Here you go. All modifications made were in this section only. None were made to the portion of the code using the %var21% immediately after this section.

Again, all I did was increase the day number by one for every forecast and forecasticon command and increase var1 by one for each button command. Seems to be working just fine for me...
Thanks.
I tried this by copying your code directly into my hammerskin, works however weather icons don't show up. When I return to the orginial they do.
@dgmele,
I see that you've edited your post...did you get it to work correctly??? If so, what was the problem?
@dmk,
I'm not sure what would be causing that problem...I'll have to think about that one.
I did not get it to work. The days were correct in the popup, but the weather details were the same as the first day for all the days. But thanks again for your efforts.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. It's really frustrating since I've gotten it to work properly on my own PPC. For the life of me, I just don't see what's keeping it from working on yours. :?
The problem is probably a result of some alteration that I made in the skin for some other purpose. It's a moot point now because I have changed skins, but I agree that it is frustrating not to get things to work properly (just part of the fun playing with TodayPlus). Thanks again.
