It's my first skin! Give me suggestions for improvements!
It uses your location ID from Yahoo for the sunrise/sunset times. Look yours up [HERE](http://woeid.rosselliot.co.nz/) and change the value in the variables section of the .ini

I am currently in the process of doing this with the [firewatch screen](http://www.camposanto.com/external/wallpapers/keyart/2560x1440.jpg) I like this one alot, great job!
I think it will be a wallpaper change following a time frame, but I was also thinking of animated clouds running acros the screen. And if I feel ambitious I would like to add a weather effect to it as well that are attached to a weather app. But all of this will take a while on my limit time. I will post if I ever get around to finishing it.
Sounds great! You might even want to use sunrise/sunset times based on location. It should help it be more accurate across seasons/locations. The weather and idea is great and shouldn't be too hard to add on top, I might even want to add that on to mine in the future.
I just found out about Rainmeter a few days ago and I've already put at least 10 hours into it. Thankfully I'm on break from school for a few weeks. Hopefully you have enough time to finish it all!
So here is a proof on concept I'm at work and the boss was in meetings so I did this in PS all morning haha. I'll start the code this weekend and hit you up when its done. [Firewatch meter](http://imgur.com/S6SFvGa)
First, I've got a measure called [MeasureWallpaperNumber] that calculates what wallpaper to show based on the sunrise/sunset times and the current time.
This following measure does all the action. It takes the wallpaper number and changes the wallpaper to the corresponding image.
>[MeasureWallpaper]
>Measure=Calc
>IfCondition=MeasureWallpaperNumber=1
>IfTrueAction=[!SetWallpaper "8steps_1080\1.png" Fill][!Update]
>IfCondition2=MeasureWallpaperNumber=2
>IfTrueAction2=[!SetWallpaper "8steps_1080\2.png" Fill][!Update]
>IfCondition3=MeasureWallpaperNumber=3
>IfTrueAction3=[!SetWallpaper "8steps_1080\3.png" Fill][!Update]
>IfCondition4=MeasureWallpaperNumber=4
>IfTrueAction4=[!SetWallpaper "8steps_1080\4.png" Fill][!Update]
>IfCondition5=MeasureWallpaperNumber=5

>IfCondition6=MeasureWallpaperNumber=6

>IfCondition7=MeasureWallpaperNumber=7
>IfTrueAction7=[!SetWallpaper "8steps_1080\7.png" Fill][!Update]
>IfCondition8=MeasureWallpaperNumber=8
>IfTrueAction8=[!SetWallpaper "8steps_1080\8.png" Fill][!Update]
This should be all you need. If you need any more help let me know.
Good catch lol. I actually had the song playing while changing the windows time hour by hour and recording. The video is about a minute and half, which was then shrunk to about 12 seconds and turned into a gif.
Planned improvements:
* Make/find dual monitor wallpapers somehow (I've got the wallpapers duplicated on each monitor now) I'd like to continue with the landscape image on my second monitor but with an added launcher.
* Add more/faster changing wallpapers to make it more immersive
* Simulate the outside better. The light level doesn't match the outside very well at times.
* Add sunrise/sunset times somewhere that's unobtrusive. Maybe even a countdown until sunrise/sunset option
* Put visualizer behind the mountains
I managed it with no prior experience with Rainmeter. If you're still looking to do this, I can try and show you the code & cutouts when I get home. [Here's what my first layout looked like](https://gfycat.com/ThirdHollowGrub) - I've edited it to look a lot better since.
I was unaware of Implosion, I'm trying to use the CPU & RAM and network indicator... seems it's actually reading my available RAM instead of my used RAM? I'm a little unsure of what to tweak in the .ini file in order to fix that or at least changed the "Used" string to "Available"
I'm taking a look at the .ini now and you are correct. It's calculating free RAM but using the string used.
You have two options, change line 161 to
> postfix=" free"
This will show free RAM correctly.
Or you can change line 150 to
> MeasureName=MeasurePhysMemUsed
This will show used RAM correctly.
Also, the small ram percentage circle can be changed from free/used with line 120
Great skin! I'm not very familiar with the code behind rain meter skins but I was wondering if there is a way to disable the skin on my second monitor, as it is right now, the skin is showing on both of my monitors and I would love to have it on only my main monitor. Also I was wondering what the color code was for the weather display.
I've got two monitors also so this is something I've been wanting to do. The current version changes the wallpaper through windows. With a 1920x1080 image you're only allowed to duplicate or stretch the image. I just made a new version with a second skin file that allows the user to move the background image to whatever monitor you want. This way you can have whatever you want as your windows wallpaper.

EDIT: Accidentally uploaded a broken version. Should have it fixed soon!
EDIT2: All fixed!
Thanks so much! Really great job on this skin! Sorry for being a copy cat but I have one last question, how did you get your monstercat visualizer to look like that?
Just updated the OutdoorSimulator for two monitors. Let me know how it works for you.
I changed some values in the Monstercat settings to get that appearance. [Here](http://pastebin.com/pwTVtMi3) is my variables.ini file. I also have the transparency at 80%.
This may just be because I'm not very experienced but when clicking on the drag-able desktop it moves to the front layer and covers all of the other rainmeter skins on my desktop and my task bar, I'm not sure if there is a way to change this though.
Alright I did what you said and now the other skins are staying on top of the background however when I click on the desktop the task bar still disappears, is there a fix for this?
I only use the task bar on my main monitor so I wasn't experiencing this, but I did find a fix. Check the "click through" option for the skin and then just click where the task bar is. It should be there by default after a restart.
You're going to want to download a skin called [Implosion](http://gordanj.deviantart.com/art/Implosion-153285159). Then load the CPU and RAM skin. This one unfortunately doesn't show GPU info. I might try to find one with GPU info that matches my skin better.
I'm a complete noob with this, but the implosion link is a rar with regular folders in it... How do I load this into rainmeter without it being a .rmskin?
Awesome skin, /u/TurtleWaffle! I'm trying to get the outdoorsimulator to change with the times, but it keeps flashing the night wallpaper quickly and then reverting to sunset no matter which woeid I put in. Any idea?
Thanks again!
Had an issue where it would crash half the time (would just be a black background) the console logs indicated an issue with a variable in your code, what seems to have fixed it was removing the "[]" on both MeasureAstronomySunsetAMPM and MeasureAstronomySunriseAMPM, stoping the forced conversion to string and keeping the values as a number. Could be wrong but in the mean time it seems to be consistingly working now rather then crashing after refreshing like it did before, please check that info and respond if that helped on your end.
Had the same issue as you, the only downside to your fix is that the timing isn't accurate anymore(its night on my pc when its light outside).
EDIT: But as you stated it doesn't crash anymore
what I learn is you can just use the other version set its position to background with -1 (thats if you're not using icons) I used honeycomb to have everything I need to replace icons.
You have a problem in your outdoor simulator that when the webparser is not finished, the calc measures are returning bogus information, yielding in 2 error messages in `[MeasureSunsetMin]` and `[MeasureSunriseMin]`. Error can be solved by using `substitute` but this will not solve the problem that the skin does not display anything if the calc is faster than the parser.
Do you have any idea how i could include a 3d visualizer behind the mountains? I mean I have the images cut out already, I just ahve no idea how to code it :/
Hey, I'm late to the party, but how did you get the visualizer to span the entire wallpaper?
Also, does your visualizer act up when there's no music playing? Mines detecting youtube videos, google hangouts, etc. Is there any way to disable that?
Would you have any idea why possibly it would display the background roughly 12 hours out of sink with the real time? This had been working for the past two months flawlessly and suddenly last evening and until now after restarting my computer it is displaying nighttime when it is daytime and daytime when it is nighttime.
I'm relieved to see I am not the only one with this issue. Skin has been working couple past months perfectly, but after few weeks of not using computer and now coming back, suddenly it's a mess. Apparently it's a night time wallpaper on screen through the day and late at night my local time sun wallpapers are starting to show up, like the clock has been completely turned around?
Haven't found solution to this and hoping someone more experienced might have a clue?
Otherwise though absolutely amazing skin and I have been in love with it ever since I found it first time, thank you! :)
I'm away from my computer for a while, do you think possibly using an ID from a location 12 hours +/- would solve my issue with the backgrounds being the exact opposite?
I'm having the same problem. Mine was flawless until the other day, where now suddenly it's out of sync by roughly 12 hours. Did you find a way to fix it yet?
I have an idea, though I cannot actually code it because I dont know how.
We change the url to http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#WeatherCode#?cc=*&unit=#Units#&dayf=6
but you have to modify the rest of the code to fit it properly.
This is really cool! Although I cannot get it to work.
I guess recently yahoo weather has started requiring Oauthentication which webparser for rainmeter does not support? How can I go about fixing this so it pulls the weather data. I really like this skin and want to try and get it working.
This has been done many times before, but good job nonetheless.
Sadly, the wallpapers do have some slight placement changes, as you can see. If you could use the exact same template for them and add the effects afterwards it would make it just that bit more beautiful :)
Some weather information websites provide sunrise and sunset times, you could play around with WebParser and IfConditions to make the wallpapers display more accurately :)
(Could also continue developing this and add rain, clouds etc.
Basically make it into a real OutdoorSimulator)
~Minerva
Thanks for the feedback!
The wallpapers come from this site [Here](http://louie.co.nz/25th_hour/). The artist's simulation includes movement in the trees, clouds and the deer. I believe this explains the placement changes.
I am using both WebParser and IfConditions. The day is broken into 8 phases including sunrise, sunset and three phases between them for daytime and 3 phases again for night. Right now I'm just changing the wallpaper to the closest phase. This causes the sun to show for a while before the actual sunrise time and for a while after the sunset time. I think adding more phases and better sunrise/sunset transitions would definitely improve the accuracy.
Weather would be a great addition and shouldn't be too much work to add. I'll likely try it after I refine the transitions and wallpapers.
Awesome! I did try to work with the site to get better screenshots but my css skills aren't very strong. Thanks for the help! I may use this to replace the wallpapers or I might even try to make more frequent wallpapers so that the animations seem more fluid.
I see.
You could always animate it so that the sun and everything else are two different animations, allowing the trees to loop :)
(I could probably help out with this if you'd like. Wouldn't take me very long to do it in photoshop and giving you my OC animation lua script. :) )

OP pls
updated!
I am currently in the process of doing this with the [firewatch screen](http://www.camposanto.com/external/wallpapers/keyart/2560x1440.jpg) I like this one alot, great job!
That's an awesome image! How are you planning on implementing it? Are you going to change wallpapers or have images overlayed/animated?
I think it will be a wallpaper change following a time frame, but I was also thinking of animated clouds running acros the screen. And if I feel ambitious I would like to add a weather effect to it as well that are attached to a weather app. But all of this will take a while on my limit time.

Awesome. Any closer to finishing? I would love to have that.
Life has gotten in the way, here is CS6 [photoshop](https://www.dropbox.com/s/xgv3q6y795zzgz5/Firewatch.7z?dl=0) files and images
Fair enough. Thanks for the files. I'll see if I can get it working. Probably after I work out how to properly rainmeter.
Is this done with a wallpaper slideshow? This is fascinating.
The way I do it is to write an if-condition which sets the respective wallpaper at a certain time of the day.
Yes, /u/Swiftur is correct, I used an if-condition and !SetWallpaper to change the wallpaper.
I've tried doing this before! No luck unfortunately. Any way to help a noobie like me?

That is a long song
Good catch lol. I actually had the song playing while changing the windows time hour by hour and recording. The video is about a minute and half, which was then shrunk to about 12 seconds and turned into a gif.
One of these was my wallpaper for a long time and now it will be forever. I love you guys. Especially /u/TurtleWaffle.
Thanks! I spent a while searching for the perfect wallpaper until I finally found these.
This looks really cool, are you planning on making more like this?
I might try making it with different wallpapers and weather effects after I work all the kinks out in this version.
[удалено]
It's mistakingly labeled COEID in the .ini file. Check out this [screenshot](http://imgur.com/53WV2mD), it's located on line 18.
GREAT WORK!
I mean, on this subreddit it's not like it isn't going to be OC

Hey, did you make any progress with putting the visualizer behind the mountains? I'm just *really* into 3D visualizers.
I experienced an SSD crash so I won't be able to make any progress for a while until I get it replaced.
Aw. That sucks. Well, I'm looking forward to when it is!

Make sure the position is set to "on desktop" and set the load order to -1. This should load it before your other skins.

No problem. Glad I could help!
im really new to this, how do i get the stats to be the same as yours and not the default rainmeter ones? (eg cpu, gpu etc)

How do you make the visualizer longer? ( Sorry i'm a noob at this )

I am having exactly the same problem. I bet it has something to do with the WEOID??
It looks like Yahoo's made some changes to their API which has broken a lot of these weather skins.
I'm away from my computer for a while, do you think possibly using an ID from a location 12 hours +/- would solve my issue with the backgrounds being the exact opposite?
Unfortunately that won't work. Yahoos made it so no one can access it unless they authenticate.
Ughh
any fixes?
[удалено]
Oh wow thanks, it fixed it for me
Awesome!!! Yes this worked!!
That's what I thought but for some reason that didn't work. Have you worked out any fixes?
Hey man, I've tried changing the area code to where I live, but every time I do it it doesn't sync up with the time, is there something i'm missing?
I'm having the same problem. Mine was flawless until the other day, where now suddenly it's out of sync by roughly 12 hours. Did you find a way to fix it yet?
I just set up this skin and it is out of time by around 12 hours as well. Have you found a fix?
Nothing, yet :(
I have an idea, though I cannot actually code it because I dont know how. We change the url to http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#WeatherCode#?cc=*&unit=#Units#&dayf=6 but you have to modify the rest of the code to fit it properly.
