    Crypto Skins not working

    by SsCoobyDoO » Fri Oct 18, 2024 2:15 pm

    I have tried several different skins and INI files that should show various crypto prices but none of them work. I've tried several things to determine why but it's as if you can not obtain current crypto prices via Rainmeter anymore. Does anyone know why or can anyone point me to a working skin? An example of specific skins that do not work are all

    I don't have an answer for you other than this: all the skins on that website are old and out of date. They were stolen from their original authors and posted there without their permission. So it is no surprise to me that they don't work.

    Also, just to clarify your statement "as if you can not obtain current crypto prices via Rainmeter anymore" in case there is any misunderstanding: Rainmeter isn't the problem here and has nothing to do with the issue. The problem is that the websites used by the skin to fetch the data have most likely changed over the years, so the skins have broken and won't be fixed.

    I’ve run into similar issues, and it can be a real headache! A while back, I was looking for a reliable way to track prices too. I tried a few skins, but they just wouldn’t update.

    Eventually, I stumbled across https://stealthex.io , and it turned out to be a handy resource. Not only did I find some skins that worked, but I also discovered a solid way to get real-time prices. They’ve got a user-friendly interface that made things way simpler for me. If you’re still on the hunt, maybe check it out for some fresh options.

    It sounds like you’re having a tough time with crypto skins in Rainmeter! This could be due to changes in the APIs the skins use, which can break functionality. Make sure you’re using the latest version of Rainmeter, and check if the API sources for the skins are still active. You might also want to explore new skins on DeviantArt or the Rainmeter forums, as there are often updates or alternatives shared by the community. If you’re comfortable, you can also look into editing the INI files to update any broken API links. Good luck, and let us know if you find a solution!
