Looking forward to hear from you whenever you got the time to tackle this.
:confetti Yes - I achieved my goal Very happy with the result!

Took me half a day of concentrated work with np++ using search/replacing and OpenOffice calc for numbering exercises etcpp.

I modified eclectic-tech 's "Open-Meteo Win10 Widgets Weather_1.2024.01.24.rmskin" and added 119 measures (ugh, yeah the "stupid" and surely not the smart way, but WTF it works, that's what counts) for the hourly 5 day forecast values of my solar "global tilted irradiance" specific to my small PV-system. For the green trend display I used your smart line graph code @Yincognito - modified so that it scales automatically to the skin height/width and the actual peak irradiance. Furthermore, my main target, I calculated the daily predicted PV output in KWh/day - based on Open-Meteo's integrated GTI (W/m², simply calculating the sum of hourly values as integral), my PV panel area and it's efficiency. Now I can see how much power will probably be generated in the coming 5 days to improve my grid independency and better planning ahead of my power consumption.

See below a pic how the skin looks as of now but I will probably add rainfall as inverse blue line graph for a precipitation prediction trend. I LOVE TREND graphics and I love how you helped me achieving this goal. MANY MANY thanks!! The skin works, but I'd like to eliminate two "Extra operation" errors in the log, especially the one coming from the trend graphics code (very strange, only appearing at each skin reload but not in running operations afterwards), I will show you in a separate posting.

Due to ecletic-tech 's skin design, it's not a single Rainmeter ini file but a whole package with a bunch of includes etcpp (took me an hour to understand the rationales behind). Is anybody interested in the code with the PV irradiation trend and power prediction? I would need to make an rmskin in order to share it. @Yincognito, you mentioned "a little bonus", not sure if I deserve anything but surely I'd appreciate ideas and insprirations.
