It will be great if we can combine somehow the temperature with the "rotator" object, so we will can create analog temp meters..
I don't know if I'm missing something, but as I know this can be done only with this tag "folder\${curTemp}.png" but we need to have the needle images from -50 to 50oC.. Right?

i think you mean to have accuweathercore units also in percent, right?



edit1:
since the start and end degrees can be different, it may get vary,


edit2:
currently, it can be done:
using the script code to make a percent unit based on your specified limitations (start&end degrees)

Yes.. Somehow...

If you think that is possible without to much work ok..
But if you see that is complicated, leave it.. I had already abbandon the idea of the extra temp meter.

it's not so hard,

it can be done using script code and rotator object, with only 1 needle image

========
about your methode (binding methode):
it can done also in that way,

the problem with your work was:
1. the image names are wrong,
it should be in C temperature degrees,
it should be named -50 to 50

2. you should use an image object to load the images, not the rotator object

and here's an example of your method:
temp-rotator [Example] [2014.09.13]1600.xwp [2.66 MiB]
Downloaded 299 times

notes:
1. i have used your bg image, although it has a needle inside,
2. the needle images are renamed, so you can use them on your widget


=============

edit1:
but i think using Script method is better,
since it will use one needle image,
so it will reduces file size



edit2:
i don't know a city that have negative temp right now,
if you know any, test it with that

did you used my example widget?

what do you mean by not accurate?
can you add a image for it?



edit:
ok, now i found what you mean,
your images are not match with the original image,
you should adjust them based on bg image, since the bg's range is not accurate

maybe my example widget can be helpful on choosing which one match the bg,
change the binding tag with numbers to find out which one match

you can specially test it with "redarrow_30.png", and you will see the difference between bg's 30degree

==============
or we can use script code instead

i have edited my above post, check it again


the script method is easier, and will use lower file size

here's the script version:
temp-Rotator_(Script_Version) [Example] [2014.09.13]1903.xwp [255.64 KiB]
Downloaded 267 times

Note:
the code doesn't need any changes for your widget,
just you need to change or adjust the images if it needed

==========

question:
is there any less/more than 50degree available somewhere?
if there is, i can make it to go a little more than 50 to show the overload degrees

it will change when accuweathercore updates



edit:
if you like:
i can make it to show the value before update (show old temp),

to do this, just need to:
1. use a text object
2. and bind to [%curTemp]
3. and use the function in the text-Object's [onchange] Event


edit2:
i have the text object already in my widget,
just you need to add the function name to the [onchange] event of text Object

Hey man are you sure that you send me the right file..?
I press manually weather/core update in the designer by nothing happens.. The needle is still on -50...
Even because I see two tags "OnEnter", "OnLeave" that don't appear in the script..

don't you remember the accuweathercore update function,
it only update when Xwidget update from Accuweather site, not when you press update,

also check that if you're using C degrees, not F,
currently it only support C,
if you want it for F, you should send me max&min degrees for F

Ok hamid..take your time and send me the script for the Fahrenheit, when you're ready..

I'm going to continue the designing part, because I need to add some more things...

EDIT:
The design part is finished.. There were many things to do..
So I'm waiting your last part / Fahrenheit meter, and after I will add it to the widget, it will be ready for upload.
Thanks man.........I really appreciate.

it's ready:
temp-rotator_(script_version) [Example3] [2014.09.14]0524.xwp [389.24 KiB]
Downloaded 264 times

=========
Notes:
1. the script automatically detects both C and F,
2. if you want the old values before update, but don't want text object, you can invisible the text object



after you have done designing, send it to me to optimize the code if needed

Thanks a lot man! I will test it as soon as possible and I will reply!

Here is the final version. ALL WORK OK! Check the right click options and the on top buttons!
(I had to make a little trick to combine both C and F panels. Since the text object that has the "OnChange" tag and the "rotator" must be twice, one for temp in C and one for F, I added a second core and I copied the scipt changing the text1->2 and rotator1->2)..

i'm a little busy today, i'll check it later,

for now, i have some questions:
1. shouldn't there be a button on the bottom of slidepanels (on the symbol) to make the slidepanel go up
2. what is the hole, is it going to be a button or just a hole?
3. what are the prev & next buttons do on the top of the tree of widget, (i couldn't find where they will be displayed
4. i think the changing between C & F degrees doesn't work (see the temp text), i don't have time to test it right now
5. is having 2 weathercore doesn't need to use 2 menuitem for setting their configuration, i think we could use only one weathercore in widget, since the conversion between C and F is easy
6. making weather slided at first, and then using calendar button doesn't slideback the weather slidepanel

questions:
1. should it make menuitems check&uncheck?
2. which items should have saveini?

_________________
...and remember: don't take life too seriously...
My profile on Deviantart: http://jimking.deviantart.com/

i have added saveini for these:
light,metal,time,date

does it needed for these:
1. Clock/Cel/Fahr mode?
2. slidepanels?

ok, it's ready:
old_school_dashboard [test] [2014.09.16]1523.xwp [4.47 KiB]
Downloaded 259 times

Notes:
1. you should add deleted images&fonts to widget
2. you should adjust the objects' position if they needed


==========

Changes:

1. Added: Saveini and menuitem checking for menuitems
2. fixed: location changing by removing one of the accuweathercores and changed the code to work only with one
3. fixed: celcius/fahrenheit changing by changing the textonchange function in the code
4. fixed: slidepanels to not get in the behind of another; now when you slide one, other one will slide-back
5. changed: position of [time] and [date] objects to [timee] object in the widget tree; to be compatible with changing clock mode and saveini; (also i have adjusted the position of them in new place; check the position of them to be adjusted)

i have created an alternate version,
maybe i don't wanna end up the work

i created this because i couldn't decide which way will be better,
so i decide to made both of them,
old_school_dashboard [alternate] [test] [2014.09.16]2204.xwp [4.48 KiB]

this one will change C/F itself without effecting the core's unit,
the difference from previous version can be seen here:

1. you can change the unit and see in that unit in the accuweathercore weather info dialog, without effecting main text&rotator, (but it will effect on Weather-Slidepanel)

2. you can see the Weather-Slidepanel in the unit that choose in accuweathercore, so the unit doesn't change when change between clock/celsius/fahrenheit

===========

in previous version these are this way:
1. you could only change weathercore unit and see it in the wether info dialog when you're using clock mode
2. Weather-Slidepanel would be shown in the unit of last layer mode that you have used in the widget

Haha! Nice work man.
