I'm sure if falldown doesn't, Sectro11 probably does.

No no no ... there were three I didn't like.

No not even close, BUT when there is something I like, that displays a new, really different or radical way of doing something I have them. Except for the newly 1000 I deleted by a simple "Oops! What was that!!" about a year ago...

But I think I still have a couple of thousand here. no joke ...

A few times over the years I have "listed" what I have .... and not so long ago over on UBU I think ...

It's simple: I'm addicted, and like helping people with conky.

here is the latest complete archive
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/190 … ing.tar.gz
it works for me, but i would like to make sure it works for someone else before i update the main archive
--will run any existing templates without change

icons reworked
new icon set added
each set has its own folder and includes basic and extended if applicable

icon set can be selected in the config
AND
you can set a default_weather_icons variable in a template to change the icon set as you edit the template
this way you dont have to kill, edit the config and restart

also includes the preliminary alerts options
details in the read_me file!

Everything seems to be running great.
I did have to include

default_weather_icons=pathtowun.."additional_files/weathericons/icons_falldown/"

in existing templates or the icons appeared huge.

Thanks for testing
i have the original icons set in the config which is why you are getting those big icons
falldowns icons are sized differently

ill update the first post probably soon!

Waaay differently!
90x90 vs 455x455

New complete archive updated on first page!

With the new archive it is quite easy to incorporate additional icon sets.
If you have an icon set you want to use here is how to adapt it!

1. you need a folder, this link gets a folder setup for wun icons
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/190 … urs.tar.gz

the folder is named "icons_yours" but could be called anything you like
in the folder there are 3 things
1. a folder called icon
this is where the icons you want to use will be put
it is important that this folder is not renamed
2. a shell script called 001_icon_symlink_basic.sh
3. a shell script called 001_icon_symlink_extended.sh

These scripts generate the symlinks from the icons in /icon
they should be executable

Looking in 001_icon_symlink_basic.sh there are many lines that are all similar

ln -s -f ./icon/000 chanceflurries
ln -s -f ./icon/000 nt_chanceflurries

^ these are the commands that create the symlinks

ln -s -f

^ calls the program that creates the symlink

./icon/000

^ is the name of the icon being used, this is the part that needs to be edited

chanceflurries

^ this is the name of the symlink that will be created
it is important that none of the symlink names are altered

in the examples above, night time icons are indicated by a preceding nt_

so, go through the script line by line, look at the description of the weather type in the symlink then pick the icon you want to be displayed and edit the line to point to that icon. the only thing that should need to be changed is the 000 part of the icon name

for example:

ln -s -f ./icon/10.png chanceflurries

NOTE - you need to specify the icon name and extension.
this method will work for any image file type .png .gif etc

NOTE2 - you could in fact have your original icons anywhere and edit the shell script to point to them

If you have an extensive icon set you could also edit 001_icon_symlink_extended.sh in a similar way

ln -s -f ./icon/000 01_l_drizzle
ln -s -f ./icon/000 01_l_drizzle_nt
ln -s -f ./icon/000 02_drizzle
ln -s -f ./icon/000 02_drizzle_nt
ln -s -f ./icon/000 03_h_drizzle
ln -s -f ./icon/000 03_h_drizzle_nt

in these examples the _l_ stands for light, the _h_ stands for heavy
a following _nt signifies the night time icon

once you have edited the shell scripts, run them to generate the symlinks
open a terminal in the icons_yours folder, the location where the shell scripts are, and type

001_icon_symlink_basic.sh

or just double click and run

take a look through the symlinks to see if there were any mistakes
if there are edit the files again and run them, they will overwrite the existing links

THEN - put the icons_yours in the wun archive
they need to be under wun/additional_files/weathericons/
edit the wun config file to point to the icons or use default_weather_icons variable in a template

OH MY! Take a few days off to test something else and look at the changes...
This will take be a bit. But getting everything now.

mrpeachy · 2014-02-07 02:09:01

oops missed a few icons in the reshuffle, but i think i have them all now

could this recent update mean the end of wun development?
well i think ive said it was done before and then i kept going
...so probably not... although i dont have any more ideas about what to add/change O:)

currently running iweather_falldown
with a few modifications to the icons
...those black question marks weren't working on my black background!

Agreed on that, I mostly run black or very dark backgrounds.
Have you updated the archive to include these icons?
They look very good.

yes, they are set up in the current archive, the originals are still there also so can easily be changed back

i wish i had some artistic talent, then i could have a go at icon making myself... but, as it is, they would all look like this

thats a thunderstorm by the way

bit of an oops in that last update :8 :8
re-updated, if that is an actual term
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/190 … wun.tar.gz
also in first post

ive also found out that by making my symlinks format-less any kind of base image can be used
by specifying .png in the symlink you then had to have .png files for the icons they point to

this way you can use .gif icons (or any other image format) and still create symlinks that work with wun

The complete archive is getting quite big so i thought i would split it up

This is the link to the basic archive (only the original weather icon sets) which is 4.3MB extracted
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/190 … sic.tar.gz

These are the additional icon sets
they go in /path/wun/additional_files/weathericons/
