Based off the original Persona 4 HUD Rainmeter Skin [link] by Th3Laugh1ngMan with edited artwork by takua108 [link].

Whats added on/changed in the 'Extended' version:
- added a settings dialog for easy configuration
- added a weather popup for more detailed weather info
- new options like temperature unit and 12-24hr clock
- separated design and logic to enable styling and localization
- also reworked most of the code, shorter and hopefully more optimized

This main config contains 6 styles - English, EngAlt, Japanese, Chinese, German and Turkish.
For more on the style concept, try the Style Pack!
:pointr: P4HUDEX Style Pack

Game for another piece of Persona 4 for your desktop?
Check out P4 Launcher!


--INSTALLATION---------------------------------
Execute the rmskin file to install.

If you are using a portable Rainmeter installation, you can use SkinInstaller.exe to install the rmskin file.
SkinInstaller.exe should be at "[PortableInstallDirectory]Rainmeter".

More on adding Rainmeter skins here [link]


--NOTES---------------------------------
- The text field in the settings dialog have tooltips showing instructions
- The current weather condition for the weather popup may not localize (for Japanese and Chinese) for certain conditions, do make a post if you see it happen
- Tooltips are not fully translated for Japanese and Chinese
- The settings reset when the config is updated
- Typing in nonexistent style name in settings crashes Rainmeter, reopen Rainmeter and type in existing style name to remedy
- Weather icon will take 5 seconds to appear on first load or forced refresh, this is mainly to accomodate the sunset/sunrise data processing

Yahoo Weather no longer returns values since the API geocode URL doesn't work anymore. Could you update this to perhaps accommodate Weather Underground?

I actually moved from Weather Underground as its not free an require sign up.
Even the free plan is limited to 500 calls per day, its like only the lucky 500 per day get to know the weather.

Anyway I'm using my Minimet RM theme which uses Yahoo Weather and it still tells the weather.

That's strange, is it something on my end then? Looking through the code, [link] doesn't work when you try to access it. A simple Google search turned up this:

Ok, I'm getting the problem when I change the location.
Looks like Yahoo Weather has turned to the dark side.
Hard to find free weather api now, everybody is limiting the number of calls per day.

Maybe I'll change it to require the user to manually go to Yahoo Weather to get the WOEID.
Or I'll look for other API to work with.

Thanks for the report, I'll work on it soon.

Just confused as to how to install the Persona 4 TV and the other set that goes with this.
They have no rnskn? files in the folder. Do I just drag them into the skin folder in the rainmeter folder in C drive?

All my Rainmeter DA submitions are in rmskin format.
What you download should be an rmskin file.
Just install that as in the instructions in the description.

Your P4 HUD Extended is really great. I add 2 new language in your P4 HUD Extended, if you don't mind. If you want the new added languages, just ask.
