Weather Plug-in Update

[Jeff]

Posted at the wiki site along with source.

* Rewrote the skinning code to enable everything to be moved. Everything is now based on composite images. Additionally, none of the font names are hard coded in the plug-in any more so you can add, remove, or change fonts as you wish.

* Moved the configuration settings to the PluginSettings area of the config.xml file so that they will be retained across upgrades of GBPVR.

* The plug-in will now copy and use the skin file from the blue skin directory if a skin can not be found in the current skin directory.

* Added the option to display weather information on the Video Archiver panel. If selected, the forecast for the current day and the next day will be displayed.

* Note that the plug-in now requires that CommonGBPVRUtiltiies.dll be in the main GBPVR directory.

No more seeing what the weather is in New Zealand when I upgrade then just stick with the local UK weather

If I have to, then I think everyone should have to suffer the New Zealand weather...

[Jeff]

I did still set New Zealand as the default if nothing else is specified. I figured we should all start with a view of your neck of the woods.

The task image for the weather plugin is showing the task image from the archive folder??

Sorry forgot to say that this and VA are excellent plugins
Keep up the good work

Sigh. Yes, it is. A one word code change which I have now fixed. The update is posted on the wike site.

Jeff,

I think I found a bug with multiple locations. I can left-right through current and map correctly but if I left right through forecast the title changes but the info stays on the last (if that makes sense). I live in the midwest which is setup first, east coast second, and Cozumel Mexico (my diving home away from home) is last. When I left back it shows the details from Mexico. Maybe it's just toying with me, I'd love to have 80's-70's day/night right now... Excellent plugin!

[Jeff]

Yes, it is a bug. I have posted an update.
