montereyrainmeter's Issues

Sidebar mode floating button

Added from Google Forms

make some thing similar to the side bar mode but instead of the icon in the taskbar tray make it like a small icon that i can drag all over the screen, something similar to the villastart skin by jax core, it has a kind of a small empty space that you can drag all over the screen and then once it is clicked you it reveals the skins exactly the same as what the taskbar tray do

Problem displaying music covers from Spotify

Sent from feedback form

Wrong API key

I did exactly the steps to create a personal API from that link:

https://github.com/creewick/MontereyRainmeter/wiki/Get-weather-API-key

it is active, I put it in the widget but it does not work, what can I be doing wrong?

Monitor widget: network info not reporting anything

Hi,

thanks a lot for this skin.

I have a problem for the network info not reporting anything, and I didn't find a way to debug the issue or configuring the network card that is being monitored.

I'm using a notebook (ethernet port). Any suggestions?

Can't change weather widget city

After clicking 'Edit "Weather"' and typing in name of the city which i'd like the widget to display nothing happens, regardless of in what language or what kind of letters i am typing.

Weather Widget not letting me change my location

It's not letting me change my location in the Weather widget.

[Bug] Changing the localization time on this clock does not show the correct date past midnight.

The Top part shows the Eastern Time zone (UTC-0500) while showing the correct date. The bottom shows Athens, Bucharest (UTC+0200) but the date is still going off of local time. Why is it doing that? I wanted to have multiple clocks showing up.

Cant see the switches.

theres no switches in front of clock etc widgets, some kind of bug i think, hence cant use any of it. any solution.

Sidebar mode bug

Added from Google Forms

Skin is stuck in the foreground and will not remain in the background when using the PC normally.

Why is it different from ram usage in actual?

why is it different from ram usage in actual usage?
on the widget it indicates 75%, but actually it is 55%.
just wondering if it has a bug or there is some reason.

sorry for the language tho.

It's always on top

The widgets are always on screen even I opened an app full screen
anything I can do?

Computer Freeze on Startup ⚠️

I accidentally put a large number on widget size inside the general settings (GUI).
Now my computer is unusable because Rainmeter is on windows Startup.

No support for all cities in Weather Widget

Hi!

I've been using these skins for a while now and I love them, but I have a little issue with the weather widget. It seems that it's not compatible with all cities. For exemple, no city in Catalonia (Spain) works. When I try to write one, the name is deleted and the previous one is loaded.

Is there any fix?

PS: Everything else works really fine, you did a great job.

Edit: I solved the issue editing the values in Weather.inc manually.

Spanish language support

Added from Google Forms

Korean language support

Added from Google Forms.

It would be nice if it could be added using a translator, so it would be nice if Korean language could be added.
I recommend Naver Papago for the translator.

I assume it's being false flagged as containing a virus.

When I try to download the .rmskin file the download in my chrome bar says 'Failed - Virus Detected' and Bitdefender pops up saying

"Suspicious activity blocked

C:\Users###\Downloads\monterey_rainmeter_1_0_by_creewick_df7hbn1.rmskin tried to load a malicious resource detected as Gen:Variant.Razy.669698 and was blocked. Your device is safe.

I hope this is something that you can fix

Full translation

Hello, how can i translate for example weather widget to polish? i cant find it in files and i would really want to translate it

Music button in widget not working.

While the music widget detects music both from Edge and 'Cider', it's button (see image) does not link to the source when pressing on it.

I was wondering if this somehow could be fixed or if I could fix this myself in any way?

If not would it be possible to hard link the button to one of the two, and if yes, how exactly?

Weather

I'm sorry, this isn't really an "issue", but I can't seem to figure it out. How do you change the setting for the temp from C to F?

Thanks!

Can't update to V 1.0

Hey brother !
First of all your project is a killer !!
So I installed the 0.7.rmskin but now I downloaded the 1.0 files, replaced them in the directory and nothing seems to have changed :/
Don't know if it's my fault, my bad if it is !

Btw the weather widget is displaying error 401 which I know what means but nothing happened after a while, knowing I got my active api key from OpenWeather (I can't change city name in the widget too)

Thanks a lot ;)

Italian Language

Hello dear, it would be nice if you could also add the Italian language. I translated the files of version 1.0.1 into Italian for me personally, but if you're interested I'll gladly send you the files.😁😉
Indeed I send them :D

My OpenWeatherMap API Key isn`t working

I created many new API keys but none of them worked. I'm sure they're enabled, but I get an error every time that the key isn't valid.

Sidebar Issue

Basically, you set the Montery Group's position when left clicked to "On Top", thats why when you show widgets, its got stuck on the foreground and not remain in the background.

MontereyRainmeter/Extras/Sidebar/Sidebar.ini

Line 19 in d574645

LeftMouseUpAction=[!ZPosGroup "1" "Monterey"][!ToggleFadeGroup "Monterey"]

You can easily fix this problem by changing the ZPosGroup to 0 (which means "Normal")

LeftMouseUpAction=[!ZPosGroup "0" "Monterey"][!ToggleFadeGroup "Monterey"]

[BUG?] City not available in weather widget

I'm currently using the weather widget with my own API Key and it works for cities like 'London' or 'Ghent'. But when I try to change it to my local city 'Beervelde' it just switches back to the previously working city.

This link shows that openweathermap indeed has info for 'Beervelde'.
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Beervelde,BE&appid=6dd39489554c1ca221409f58867cc698&units=metric

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Compatibility with MyDockFinder

I'm using MyDockFinder (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1787090/MyDockFinder/) which is the perfect dock and finderbar for Windows, the issue is that I can't use the tray button to hide the widgets, for some reason it doesn't work when I press it. Is it possible to make it work with MyDockFinder in the near future? :)

P.S.: Amazing work :)

system monitor cpu readings are too low for alderlake 12700 cpu

Too many threads or heterogeneous cores? 100% cpu load looks like 30% on the meter.

Weather showing wrong weather

When I use the new weather widget it only shows that it's thunderstorming in my city but its not. it says that it's going to be thunderstorming for the whole entire week, but I checked Google and it says it's going to be clear.

Weather & Volume Widget errors

With v1.0 I had the following errors:

I upgraded to v1.0.1 and I now see these:

Since randomly Rainmeter is freezing, and I had to terminate it via task manager and restart it, I was wondering if it could be due to these errors of the widgets.

Thanks for the help.
