<instIcons> why do I get only 2 possible settings?

the icon shows only sun or nothing (when it’s raining, night, claudy etc)
even when, forecast predicts rainy weather, sun might be shining on WDL
so I started with a new XML (used with 3.09) and saw a lot of new features, nice …
So the probem isn’t in the xml itself …

If I see otherweather stations, this seems to work, snow, rain, clauds, night …
what am I doing wrong?
Is it becaus WDL takes the info from the solar detector & I haven’t one …

There has to be a way since forecast icon can be shown in WD …

The icons only look at the current conditions, not at the forecast. Try setting up a Metar for the current conditions which may give you a fuller description.

indeed but even when the current condition is claudy or raining, there is no raining icon …
altough I tought It should picture this … Or am I wrong?

certainly you should get a rain icon if your station detects rain - even if you don’t use conditions from a METAR. Does WD say it is raining when you get it?

just to check - you haven’t got “use this image as the icon” under “input daily weather” ticked?

cheers

No never got a rain icon even tough the text said: raining an you saw the rain gauge fiulling up …

I’m looking around for “input daily weather” but can’t find it, I’m overlooking it I guess
as far as I know, I never ticked it on

input daily weather is a menu option at the top.
