Weather Center - Windows Weather Gadget
seems like a nice weather, and also in many languages, give it a shot
Well Dylematic, I kinda got the MSN Weather Gadget to change location.
I went to "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar" and opened up the file settings.ini in Notepad. That is the settings file for the Weather Gadget. If you had your location programmed into the Microsoft Weather Gadget, your location information should be in there. The two lines you are looking for are WeatherLocation and WeatherLocationCode.
If you don't have it entered in your Weather Gadget, you can look it up here: https://weather.codes/united-states-...rica/michigan/.
Next I went to "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\MSNWeather.gadget\en-US\js" and opened in Notepad the file localizedStrings.js also in Notepad. I replaced DefaultCity with WeatherLocation and DefaultLocationCode with WeatherLocationCode. Then I saved the file.
Right-clicked on the desktop and chose 'Gadgets', and chose MSN Weather. Worked fine.
I am still using the Microsoft Weather Gadget. The other fixes on the forum seemed to help.
Oops.
Left in the URL for the Michigan page. Of course the top-level URL for United States weather codes is: https://weather.codes/united-states-of-america/
Hope you are able to get it running.
I seem to have a permanent fix now, well running 8 days 24/7 and counting without losing connection. And no problem changing location to here in England.
Run GaBee8 fix, (#47) I found this would restore the gadget but only for 3 days before it stopped updating and I would need to rerun it.
Immediately having run that fix, use juanjotoronia date and attribute change on the config file (#48) I moved it forward + 3 years.
Having had a few false dawns before, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but so far, so good.
Yep i've changed to year 2022 a week ago and till now still working/updating
...also i don't know if anyone note this but they changed the service provider, before it was foreca and now is wdt (at least for me). The data is more accurate but today at 4 am (in my country) in the Three-day forecast was still figuring monday, maybe some litle bug but still updating at least
Gadgets have been discontinued - Microsoft Windows
I was trying to fix mine... and I found the link that my "currency" gadget was getting its info from.
IN C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\Currency.Gadget\en-US
the gadget.xml file had a link: Gadgets have been discontinued - Microsoft Windows
which got forwarded over to the first link i posted above stating that they DISCONTINUED gadgets due to vulnerabilities.
