Weather Forecast plugin stopped working

Sat, 19 Jun 2021 16:07:39 +0300

Over the years I've valued the Weather Forecast plugin, but sometime about a couple of weeks ago it stopped working. The space for its main icon is now blank, and the popup when I click the icon now just says N/A instead of giving summary forecasts for the following seven days.

I looked for a new version, but the available version is what I already have. I tried reinstalling it, but with no change resulting.

Any likelihood that a new version will become available, fixing this issue?

CommandLine skinning question

Thu, 06 Aug 2015 04:09:12 +0300

I am trying to make a skin for the command line that resembles the other buttons in the taskbar in windows 10 but i am not getting my desired result.

I have made 2 other skins for the command line in the past:

Windows 8
Windows 7 Aero

Here is what I am getting:

Here is something like what I want to accomplish.

Is this possible? is there a place that has details on creating a skin for the command line plugin?

I have been using true launch bar for a long time, and I really only use it for the command line, and sometimes adding a few other menus to the task bar. I was worried that it would not work on Windows 10 that I almost didn't upgrade. I was glad when it did work.

Thank you.

Skin color based on system color.

Mon, 30 Jun 2014 15:22:53 +0400

Is there a way to tie a color used in a skin to a system color? For instance in Windows 8 when a user chooses a border color is there a way to change a skin color to the same that the user chose for the windows border?

If there isn't a way to do this yet then what's keeping you from getting this done? jk I know you are busy but perhaps you will think about the possibilities?

Thank you.

I've purchased WindowBlinds. I've reproduced the bug with the "Subline" skin.

Please try to set any TLB skin for toolbar. As I see this fix the problem.

Either I'm not understanding you, or it doesn't fix the problem. I tried setting the TLB skin to Clarity, Dark Glass, Grey Matter, Myriad and Windows 7. I still see the issue.

Skins - Menu Placement

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 07:48:48 +0400

Is it possible to control where menus and submenus appear?
If so, I would appreciate an example of how to move a submenu further to the right.

Solution:

The optional AttachMargins value in the [Menu] section of the tlbskin.ini file, mentioned in the Skin Specification, allows you to move the menu positive or negative from the normal location.
The value operates somewhat oddly, as I needed to place a negative left value (AttachMargins = -4, 0, 0, 0), to move the menu right.

From the Skin Specification:

Additional values for [Menu] and [MenuWithCaption] section

These two sections can have additional value:

AttachMargins
AttachMargins = left, right, top, bottom

Use these margins if your skin have a transparent borders (for example the shadow) to move the menu's attach points.

True Launch Bar Plugins Development Kit

Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:38:41 +0400

The TLB Plugins Development Kit is available on the public SVN server. This is the complete set of libraries I'm using to create the plugins. Source code for some plugins are included. Currently you can find the source codes for the Batch Run and the Timer plugins. The source codes for some other plugins will be added some later.

There is no documentation yet. Just some wiki pages, so if you have any question ask it here.

I am trying to set up a skin for Drive Space, yet it is always off center with all other plugins. For some reason it automatically places a invisible boarder of 2 pixels or more around the plug in, on top, the left and right sides and most likely bottom. With skins for netmonitor or systemmonitor.

Looking at the skins that were made in the past, it seems this bug of an invisible boarder on Drive Space didn't exist until the latest revision, as screenshots of people using a Drive SPace skin along with an identical netmon or sysmon skin don't show this bug.

For example, install this skins on all three plugins as an example (http://stelsy.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2f11ek), you will see drive space is slightly lower then the rest, and has a boarder around it making the seamless transition between plugins broken (as there is too much as a gap).

I tried editing the background image, stating a x and y value for the background in the .ini, nothing works. Please help

Also, I can't seem to get custom fonts to work at all with drive space. All the custom skins seem to show the default font, not the one chosen in the ini.

[quote="Yuri Kobets"]I've prepared the [url=http://download.truelaunchbar.com/test/tlbrss342.exe]fixed version[/url]. Please try it.[/quote]

Hi Yuri,

Just wanted to let you know that New Reader build 3.4.2 seems to have fixed the issues I was having!! :)

Been running it since you posted the download link here and have yet to have any problems!

So if you want you can go ahead and make it a official release.

No, TLB don't create the shortcuts there.

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:17:22 +0300

[quote="Yuri Kobets"]Check if the the "icons" is really subfolder. Maybe the "icons" is just an shortcut to C: drive? Also some viruses can replace the folders with exe files that looks like folders.

Try to type the command:
[code]dir "I:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\~~images~~"[/code]
in the command prompt.

Also check how the standard Windows Explorer works with this folder.[/quote]

The command gives me a listing of the files, and Explorer shows it as a folder.

So Yuri, by my copying everything from "C" to "I", including all the True Launch folder from "C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\~~images~~" , including obviously the Icons folder, couldn't have created some sort of junction link?

I don't understand why DirOpus would flip it when no other file manager does.

Regards,
Chuck

For what it's worth, this is the bestest feature of TLB. I use it all the time in combination with AutoHotkey to pop up a floating multi-column Quickstart menu at the mouse pointer by doing LeftClick+RightClick, and a floating 1-column Start Menu by doing RightClick+LeftClick.

[quote="kethdredd"]I've tried the universal player, but it doesn't seem to support songbird. Do I have to fill in the title format?[/quote]

Universal player is not very universal. Actually it need the special plugin for songbird that allow to fetch the inforation from the songbird and control it.

I'm using the standalone version of TLB, and I have it set to use Taskbar settings, have the background set to red, and have an overlay of an image. However, I can not seem to get rid of the little gray bar at the top of the toolbar. I've tried locking the toolbar (which removed the gray bar surrounding the whole toolbar) but it still didn't remove the gray bar at the top of the toolbar.

I would really like to know how to get rid of it, or at least shrink it. If I could get rid of it, my set up would be perfect :D

Thanks!

[quote="Yuri Kobets"][quote]I have completely removed TLB from this computer, including plugins and Registry keys. Do you want me to reinstall TLB 4.2.2 and do the experiment?[/quote]I would be very appreciated.

I will do that tonight and report the results.

[quote]Also, can I eliminate all j.river keys?[/quote]Can you recall me about j.river keys? What keys and what the problem :oops:[/quote]

Some jRiver Registry keys seem to be associated with TrueLaunchBar. I have attached an image. Note that 1.0 is jRiver Type Library, but Win32 points to True Launch Bar. Here is the data:

"C:\Program Files\TrueLaunchBar\plugins\mediactl\players\jRiverMC.dll"
