Changing weather icons
I just recently decided to change the weather icon and I got it from this link https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=36287, is there any way to change a newer current weather icon?

Re: Changing weather icons
Which skin are you using, on which one would you like to change the icon? This might be an important question, because weather.com returns this information as a number and all skins using weather.com have to have the icons numbered. In the posted package the icons have names (for instance clear-day.png, clear-night.png, cloudy.png and so on), instead of being numbered. This is why you can't use this package just like that, by simply copying the .png files into your config.Dapperkevin wrote: ↑January 8th, 2024, 3:22 pm I just recently decided to change the weather icon and I got it from this link https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=36287, is there any way to change a newer current weather icon?
Other weather data providers might use another approach and most probably there is / are providers which return this information in a proper way to can use these files just like they are. But this is another story and since me personally am using only weather.com, can't recommend another skin.
So, first question: which skin are you using, on which one would you like to replace the icons?

Re: Changing weather icons
In this case it's pretty simple, because Mond uses yahoo as weather data provider (https://www.yahoo.com/news/weather). You can simply copy the .png files from the above package (from one of the \JDWI-COLR\1x\, \JDWI-COLR\2x\ or any other folder) to the Mond\@Resources\WeatherIcons\ folder, overwriting the existing files. The folders of the posted package have much more icons than the needed ones, you don't have to copy all of them. It's completely enough to copy only the files with the same names as those existing in the Mond\@Resources\WeatherIcons\ folder.Dapperkevin wrote: ↑January 8th, 2024, 3:59 pm I am using https://www.deviantart.com/apexxx-sensei/art/Mond-762455575 as a weather widgets

Re: Changing weather icons
You don't. Those are SVG files, which can't be used directly in Rainmeter. You'd need to convert them to PNG format using some image processing/editing utility. Use the PNG files that he provides instead.

Re: Changing weather icons
As SilverAzide said, you need a piece of software to convert the .svg file to .png, or you can try an online tool, like https://svgtopng.com/ (but there are others as well).

Re: Changing weather icons

Re: Changing weather icons
The icons of the original Mond weather skin are named differently from what you posted.Dapperkevin wrote: ↑January 9th, 2024, 1:01 am After downloading from svg into png images this happened when changing icons into [Mond\@Resources\WeatherIcons\, the icon is lost after refreshing it
They use an Underscore _ not a dash - to divide words; clear_day.png NOT clear-day.png
Mond original icon images and names: Rename the images correctly and they should work with the Mond weather code.
