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!

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196. (#56598) Download: Brave Browser 64-bit | 1.2 MB (Freeware) Download: Brave Browser 32-bit View: Brave Homepage | Offline Installers | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
