Hi -

also I like Mac and Vista skin themes I desperately needed some change in style, so here it is:

A Weather desklet with more colors than your eye can focus on...

HOW TO:
-------
Rename HotWeather.zip to HotWeather.aveinst and doubleclick file while AveDesk is running...
(AveScripter has to be installed)

You can choose between 10 background colors and change its font:

I included a font ("DS-Digital") with the file - you can find it in ...AveDeskDeskletsAveScripterHotWeather
Just copy the content of the ds_digital.zip in your C:Windowsfonts - directory.

It's a fine font, but unfortunately Shareware, so you might want to choose a different font -
you can do so under the desklet's options, furthermore you can change it's style, the font size of the temperature and toggle the visibility of the "88" LCD background by setting the alpha-value to zero.

Other (free) digital fonts are for example LcdD, LCDMono, Radioland, ...
Just try what you like best by typing its name in the font field! Some fonts look stupid with a "88" background to it, that's why you can hide it.
I included DS-Digital as it looks most similar to the font I'm using - it was installed on my system and I don't know if I'm allowed to share.
DS-Digital however I can, it was done by Dusit Supasawat - read more about it in the txt-file that comes with the font.

For Bugs/suggestions discuss here:

P.S.:
I designed the desklet rather big for high screen resolution, but you can scale it down by AveDesk:
Choose its properties in the AveDesk control panel and set width and heigth

UPDATE:
----------

Version 1.1 -

- Added a glassy background for the 5-day forecast to make the text more readable on dark wallpapers...

- changed size to make it "square": Default size is now 385 x 385 pixels. So if the desklet is too big for your desktop, you now can resize it easier with AveDesk (desklet options): Height and Width are the same now, I e.g. size it to 300 x 300 pixels...

- Changed default font size to 70: If the present temperature has more than 2 digits (e.g. -15°C or 100°F) it doesn't fit on the display. This will show -1°C or 10°F... Depending on the font you use, the new size should fix this, otherwise you can change its size in the options...
