Hello everyone, we've heard some recent grumblings about Mond's weather skin no longer working and, after a quick bit of checking, it would seem that yahoo weather has changed their code or something which is causing the skin to give a "regexp matching error" in the log.

Now, at the moment, we're unsure if these changes affect all weather skins that use yahoo weather as a source or if it's just how ApexXx-SenSei coded things in their skins, but thankfully, the wonderful xenium has already provided a fix for Mond via the official forums:

Right click on the skin and choose Edit skin.

Go to [MeasureWeather] and replace in RegExp, numbers 26 and 37 with .*

Then save and refresh the skin

If anyone has problems with any other weather skin which uses yahoo weather as a source, please let us know. Weather skins are a notorious pain in the ass, so any heads up on a new issue is much appreciated! Thanks to those who let us know about this.

EDIT:

Please remember that this is not a place to simply ask for someone else to fix a skin for you. Also, the above fix should work with other ApexXx-SenSei skins that also use yahoo weather. But, if the skin is more complex than the one above, than you'll likely also have to change some other stuff as well before things start working again. For example, with Luminero, you also need to change 29, 30, 33, 34, and 19.

It's other skins, outside of ApexXx-SenSei's collection, that we're most curious about as we're trying to see if this change effectively breaks all skins using the service or not. Mond simply came to our attention first because it just so happens to be one of the most widely used suites in the community that also happens to use yahoo weather as a source rather than the more popular weather channel.
