Fix Weather ep_weather_provider_google_script: use classname to get image ID that is now dynamic
This new DLL worked flawless. Not even need to clear widget local data but to make sure it was working I did clear and like I said...it's working. Tks a lot for pointing out the solution. No Explorer or Computer restart was needed.
Ditto for me. this new DLL worked. I did clear the widget local data and I restarted ExplorerPatcher but did not restart my computer.
Because these values are dynamically generated by google, I don't think this change will work in the long run. Please correct me if I'm wrong though.
Sorted and working...
For those unsure like I was...
Disable weather and wait a few seconds.
Then replace the current dll in "c:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher" and re-enable weather.
This new ep_weather_host.dll library worked flawlessly. There was no need to even clear the widget's local data, just to make sure it worked. There was no need to restart Explorer or the computer. Thanks a lot for pointing out the solution to davids5.
If it works for you, it means the class name that has the weather data is YQ4gaf zr758c. If it isn't working for you, it means the class name YQ4gaf zr758c does not exist.
Fixes Weather widget is broken (#1334)
Here is the release build
Thank you so much, weather widget is working fine now.
Just an FYI... If you needed any more proof that this is a Google weather issue, note that today the graphics are different than they were yesterday and there is no graphic in the task bar - only a temp. The .dll works like charm in getting the widget to display, but it's up to Google to make it look like it should. And the last I checked, the Sun is round, not lumpy 😂
Today, regardless of the icon settings, the display is as shown in the attachment. The weather icon has disappeared from the taskbar, as mentioned above. Inside the widget, there is again a gap (this has happened before and was resolved with an update), and all the information is shifted down.

Yep, that's what it looks like. Lumpy suns and all. 😂
Looking at the source of the data https://www.google.com/search?q=weather it is what changed. There is a mapping in the EP weather dll to the icon set that will need to be revisited.
Because the lumpy sun and other graphics may not survive in the eye of public opinion, am of the mindset of waiting before changing the dll.
Everything's working with the new dll, except, as stated above, only temperature is displayed and not the icon beside it. Changing the settings to display text next to the temperature works, but I don't want text (it's way too long to fit), but the icon.
I hope there will be a fix soon.

I would not change anything. This is clearly a Google 'design' choice. With your current .dll, the widget loads as it should and is stable. And, I agree with you, the life span of a lumpy sun is probably pretty short. 😂

I would like to emphasize once again that the Microsoft icon pack is not applied through the ExplorerPatcher/Weather/Icon pack settings. And of course, the absence of the weather icon in the tray is disappointing https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/4545#issue-3376026859
Hi @davids5, I want to make a new release soon (before Tuesday) to fix a breaking bug with taskbar toolbars on latest 24H2 optional update and onwards. I'd say it's better to be consistent with Google by adding the lumpy sun rather than leaving the icon blank...
@davids5 @Amrsatrio Today everything stopped working after "Clear weather widget local data." Numerous different tricks and nothing helped to restore at least what was there. As mentioned earlier, "Unable to load weather information." It seems the widget can be buried...

Working 100% for me! Even the wobbly sun came back in the taskbar widget after the last Windows update on Wednesday...
Working 100% for me!
It worked for me today too. The strip at the top of the widget has disappeared. The taskbar icon still does not display. It seems that Google has nothing to do at all.
Many restarts the past few days.
I recon if you having issues, check for windows updates and see after than.
All worked after Wednesday for me, no problems....
check for windows updates
This is not related at all (it's hard to even imagine a more pointless piece of advice). There were no updates related to the People app. There is no icon in the taskbar for anyone on my contact list.
Does anyone else besides DeanosT50 see the icon in the taskbar?
All I'm saying is that after the update, it all worked perfect again.
Just my observation. Sorry if 6ou think my advise is stupid and pointless but it is what it is!
Even the comment right above mine says it also working after that.
Maybe your mach9ine has issues, or just you...
No icon on my end. Fresh compile. And I agree with @dissonator, Windows updates have nothing to do with EP's custom weather widget + custom taskbar.
I'll get this checked throughout this weekend.
Not sure what you all mean by fresh compile, but I haven't changed a thing, just that last windows update.
Sorry I can't help any further.
Right now I did "Clear weather widget local data" and again "Unable to load weather information" ))) I will try to restart the work computer lol...
@dissonator I hit Reload in the popup and everything but the taskbar button icon comes up.
