WeatherDesk II GUI weather app

billmez · January 30, 2006

WeatherDesk II is an enhanced version of weather desk mod of the original advanced dopplar code by Layer.

The available forecasts have been greatly enhanced and the code (especially conditionals) has been mostly rewriten, taking advantage of selects and functions.

The zip file contains the compiled app WeatherDesk2.exe, the source code WeatherDesk2.Au3, and an icon.

:lmao: Enjoy,

billmez

Sorry about the US only. The world is a big place to include in a small weather app.

You can take the source code and plug in the URLs to weather.com european forecast graphis in the categories you want. You can find the maps here: http://www.weather.com/maps/geography/euro...ndex_large.html. Right click on the map image you want and copy the URL from the properties.

Very nice improvements billmez ! Thanks for the script, I use it at least three times a day (no joke :lmao: ) !

I have modified it to save your last region choice to the registry, then when you re-run it it will start off from that regions local surface weather. Below code is link to download, and an icon I have made for it. I know the icon was thrown together in about 30 seconds, I am planning on making a better one.

; Original code by layer
; Modified by billmez to add menu and selections for regional forecasts
; and various enhancements documented in code below.
; Happy 2006 to all
;
; Modified by Onoitsu2 to allow saving and recovery of last region used,
; and auto loads Local Surface Weather if you have a region selected,
; (region not being US National that is...)

Forgive me if it may appear I'm resurrecting a very old thread.

I love the old "advanced dopplar" script layer created quite a while back now, and I am glad to see it evolved into this. As for the icon, I've been doing some basic icon work recently, and I thought I might upload my generic library.

In essence, the icon attached is actually 9 icons in one, each with the usual sizes. The icons represent the usual weather conditions, sunny, cloudy, rain, storm, and the like. Application of the icon would either involve the creation of a shortcut and applying the icon from there, or it is possible to refer to the icon directly from the program.

If anyone wants them, I also have the 9 icons in their own files, with all the standard sizes and color sets, available.

Hope this program sees more improvement!

-Dice

Edit: Sorry if it looked like I triple posted.... my connection wasn't cooperating with the file upload.

Edit: corrected typo :wacko:
