Loving it.. good work :)

but i cant get it to work for Melbourne,Australia.. I dont know what code to use for melbourne, I've entered Melbourne,Australia no space no worky.

What am i doing wrong ? :/

I replied to your problem over at the Aqua-Soft forum, but I'll copy and paste here too.

Have you tried typing just Melbourne? I tried it and it seemed to work just fine (unless there's a Melbourne in the US that I don't know about).

EDIT: I see you did. When I tried it I got the weather for Melbourne right away. The code is ASXX0075 if you want to try that. Other than that, I don't know why it isn't working for you. Sometimes when I'm messing around and enterting various cities too quickly it will keep me waiting like you are experiencing. Try restarting AveDesk perhaps?

Anyone know of an .ini change I can make so it will "remember" a change to the background being used (when re-booting PC)?? As stated earlier in the thread, when re-booting, it automatically displays w/ the default smoked background....

I updated the README.txt file with a solution to that problem. Here is the updated part, copied and pasted from it:

SMOKED BACKGROUND ON EVERY STARTUP: Lucid Weather will always startup with the smoked background even if you used the clear one last. If you want Lucid Weather to startup with the clear background every time instead, right click Lucid Weather, select Configure, go to the Overlays tab, and switch the "Background (smoked)" and "Background (clear)" values by using the Move Up/Move Down buttons.

I believe that will do the trick. Otherwise you can configure each value and have them point to the opposite .png file by using the browse button.

Is it possible to have two of these lucid weather applets running at the same time?

Everytime I load another Lucid Weather (so I now have 2), I change to two different cities, but every time i reboot or close avedesk, it overlaps and changes back to one city.

How do i get two separate instances?

I don't know how to make it remember that you have two seperate cities on startup, but I can still think of a way to get what you are looking for. It involves a little "cheating" but it's all I can think of.

Make a copy of Lucid Weather.ini and call it something else (Lucid Weather 2.ini for this example). Open it up and make sure that you change the name= value to Lucid Weather 2 as well. Now when you go to add SysStats widgets you'll see Lucid Weather and Lucid Weather 2. Make one of those one city and another the other. That should solve the problem. Let me know if you try this and it works.

Yes! I just tried this and it works perfectly! Thank you very much! This is awesome.

Okay, I just had to restart my computer (I always hibernate), and all my other AveDesk desklets showed up, except this one. I had to go to the control panel, and restart it. Is there a fix for this? :unsure:

Edit: Nevermind- I got it figured out!

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.

      It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
