Artist's Note

This is an addon for the Shadow4 skin which comes with Rainlendar. It adds RSS feed, weather, TV and countdown windows to the skin.

To install just drop the file (Shadow4 Widgets.r2skin-addon) over any Rainlendar window like installing a normal .r2skin. After a refresh you can choose the windows from the Rainlendar's advanced skin options.

The addon requires Rainlendar 2.4.


Licensing: the artist has specified that ports and mods are allowed.

The Shadow series of skins are my favourite by far.
I'd like to have seen the analog clock from the Shadow series to be included, too. I hope that's in the future.

I can't get the weather-thing to work. I noticed that you used msn to get the weather, but it won't work for me. Any thoughts?

Thanks! it's really cool.
BTW, I changed the weather location code in ini file and the weather widget works.

How do you use the TV widget?
Is there a way to remove the seconds from the countdown?

Not sure if it is an RSS version issue or just a bad/weird RSS feed, but ESPN's Top Headlines RSS feed (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/news) leaves extra (Javascript?) text in the headlines. Is there any way to fix this?

nevermind, I fixed it. for those interested... I edited the rss.lua file in the Shadow4_Widgets.r2skin-addon archive by adding the following lines:

data = string.gsub(data, "<!%[CDATA%[", "")
data = string.gsub(data, "%]%]>", "")

in the 'clean data' section at lines 54 and 55. hope this helps someone else.
