I have looked through the posts here and I must say I am still confused, so a few questions -
#WCCI# is the weather condition NOW, #WFACI# is the forecast weather conditon TODAY and #WFBCI# is the forecast weather condition TOMORROW - am I right?
It seems that you can only simulate NOW weather conditions with the slider.
Weather condition icons - even if you have substituted your own images, transparency cannot be used to hide them. Only moving them off screen using X or Y can be used to hide or show them for forecast conditions - Today/Tomorrow etc.
Can somebody please clarify if my understanding is correct and if not, help me understand.
You can use transparencies to hide the weather conditions icons. For instance you can use the following:
$#WCCI#==A?100:0$
Where A can be:
01 Fair
02 Partyl Cloudy
03 Scattered Clouds
04 Cloudy
09 Showers
10 Rain
11 Thunderstorm
13 Snow
50 Fog/Mist
If you have day/night specific icons for these conditions, you can shift the X coordinate. For example in the X coordinate box for a daytime specific icon use: $(#DH#+#Dm#/60)>(#WRH#+#WRm#/60)&&(#DH#+#Dm#/60)<(#WSH#+#WSm#/60)?B:C$
Where B= the X coordinate you want the icon to show up if it is daytime (such as 160), and C=an off screen location where the icon should go if it is night time (ie:2000)
Similarly use: $(#DH#+#Dm#/60)>(#WRH#+#WRm#/60)&&(#DH#+#Dm#/60)<(#WSH#+#WSm#/60)?C:B$
for night time specific icons.
When using forcast icons for the next 5 days A,B,C,D,E, you can also use trasparancies to turn on/off icons. For instance in the icons transparancy field the following works fine:
$#WFACI#==A?100:0$
$#WFBCI#==A?100:0$
$#WFCCI#==A?100:0$
$#WFDCI#==A?100:0$
$#WFECI#==A?100:0$
Where A can be as noted above
Well it is only a cheat . I think the Embeded one has its uses . I think Facer are trying to cut down on Banwidth Overhead but we keep spoiling the Game . I think having too many Classic previews slow down the Page . That might be just on my Devices .
I just noticed that the embedded link that @kourosh added above has an animated preview! So it’s possible that Facer is combining the two things. There are two possibilities here - Facer is doing something, or, I’m blind and it’s always been there!
I edited my original post and removed the ? onwards, original post was this (I added dummy spaces in the https to break the URL):

Now I have this, but it’s still not working like it did before:

In the beginning when I started experimenting with my patches** (which basically is the dial background), I noticed if it was cut out cleanly with sharp edges (0px), it worked fine in Creator but it VERY prominently stood out (on my watch, at least) as a border around the patch. Then I feathered it and the patch became invisible, as expected. In Photoshop with a 3000x3000 source image, I feather my patches at 9px (the components get scaled down to 1000x1000 for uploading when finished).
** To paraphrase a famous movie line: “Patches? We don’t need no stinking patches!”
I went to the Institute of Artificial Insanity and studied Randomizing Techniques for Your Checkbook.
