Description

My first skin! Give me suggestions for improvements!

How to use:

It uses your location ID from Yahoo for the sunrise/sunset times. Look yours up HERE and change the value in the variables section of the OutdoorSimulator.ini file

Update 1.1:

Now has an added skin file that allows you to drag the background. Great for those with a second monitor! Make sure to set the position to "On desktop" and make it uncheck the box for "Keep on screen". Set the load order to -1. Remember to change the WOEID in this file also!

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.

Hello TurtleWaffle!  I think this may have broke because yahoo no longer supports weather.yahoo.com.

Full story (and fix!) here: gist.github.com/rdsmallwood928…

Comments are at the bottom.  I had to post the full story there since DeviantArt seems to think I'm a bot :/

Thanks for this awesome skin!
