As the title says, this guide needs to be updated for V2.

After a lot of harassment for updating the wallpaper to a new version while trying to keep it functional despite WE’s changes to web wallpapers and useful updates, we decided to strip away steroid, and leave only the wallpaper. The changes we implemented should leave everything functional, but there’s no more dashboard and we’re no longer providing active support to it or the wallpaper itself, we might update it to add content we might like or not, but we will not provide any more explanations than what you might find in this guide exclusively.

• Spotify integration has been replaced with native WE media support.
  
• Dragging the widgets has been replaced with sliders, you can blame WE for that.
  
• Weather has been replaced with direct usage from the wallpaper (Steroid removal).
  
• Font customization will be added in the future, with only a fine selected variety of the ones we find that might be useful.
  
• Notes and schedule have been reworked a bit only, do a backup of them if you are going to use that feature, do not complain about it being reset!

We will update the guide at our own discretion, but if we receive ANY whining on it not being updated yet, we’re going to leave the guide as is.

You should be aware, as new or old user, that this wallpaper has been reworked, and many users from the previous version started complaining that their presets and wallpaper didn't work, saying that this update was bad, broken and it should be reverted. All of this while knowing that we were changing it's inner mechanics and that it would take a few minutes to readjust everything to how it was. Along with this, we had a service called Steroid, who provided Spotify and Weather integration across all presets of this wallpaper, and future wallpapers! Sadly, this service was only supported by 38 kind souls who paid once or twice over the course of 3 years, and not the amount you might expect to run a service with 270.000 users... Meaning that this service was running most of the time out of our wallet, for people who never got interested in the project or even thought it wasn't wallet friendly.

We got tired of always helping, giving support and explanations to people who just went into our Discord server, got what they needed and left or complained... So we took our service down, we will not accept any suggestions or demands, you can code an update yourself, this wallpaper is now open source and we will give you the details at the end of this guide when it's done.

Q: Why do I have to use my own AccuWeather API?
A: You have to use your own since the "free" version of it only has 50 requests per day. If you want more, you have to pay for it, and we don't want that.

Q: Is it hard to get?
A: Actually, not... You just have to register and follow a few steps.

Q: What's the benefit?
A: You don't have to leave your cave to check the weather. Plus you can say: "Heh, my wallpaper has all of this, and yours?".

• First, you have to open this page: https://developer.accuweather.com
  
  
• Then, click "Register" on the top right of the page, next to "Login".
  
  
• Fill the registration form.
  
  
• Login.
  
  
• Click on "My apps" in the nav bar.
  
  
  
  
• Click on "Add a New App".
  
  
  
  
• And fill the form exactly like this:
  
  
  
• Then, click "Create App".
  
  
• Go back to "My apps".
  
  
• Click on the "MCCW" app, and copy this:
  
  

• Once you copied your API Key, you must go to the wallpaper properties, and under the "Weather" section, paste it in the "API Key" field, as so:
  
  
  
  
• Now, in the "Location" field, you should write your location.
  
  IMPORTANT:
  We strongly suggest that you first search your location in AccuWeather's site, that way you will know if what you are searching for, works.
  
  
• Once you have found your location, you can proceed to active the "AccuWeather" widget, like so:
  
  

• AccuWeather API incorrect:
  You copied or typed your AccuWeather API incorrectly or didn't follow the steps correctly, do it all over again and create it slowly.
  
  
• Location incorrect:
  You city might not be listed in the AccuWeather platform. Try to search for it here: AccuWeather Map[www.accuweather.com]
  If it shows up in the map, it means your city is supported.

The schedule might be a bit tricky for you, but this is the only way to avoid issues in the future. Let's get right into it.

• First, you have to open Wallpaper Engine, and right click the wallpaper. Then, click "Open in Explorer".
  
  
  
  
  
• Now, open with a rich text editor the file "schedule+notes.js".
  
  
  
  
• Here you can write your schedule.
  
  
  
  
• It doesn't matter how large or short it is, here is an example:
  
  
  
  
• Change it as you please, quickly switch between this wallpaper and another; and done, changes applied, it will display current day's schedule!

Notes are in the same file I talked previously and bellow your schedule!

• You can add all the notes you want. Remember to use the <u> tag to have underline and red text.
  Remember, it opens with <u> and closes with </u>.
  
  

Widgets customization is a new feature that allows you to move, rotate and fix all the sidebar widgets around the screen.

• First, you have to hold "Left click" for a few seconds on top of the widget you want to move.
  
  
• Then, four icons will show up around it:
  
  
  
  
• Each one does exactly what they say:
  
  Move: Moves the widget following your mouse.
  Rotate: Rotates your widget by moving up and down your mouse.
  Copy: Copies all widgets position.
  Confirm: Confirms this position and fixes the widget in that spot temporarely.

Sadly, Wallpaper Engine erases web wallpapers cache every time your computer reboots, to prevent this from erasing the spot of your widgets I created the "Copy" function.

• Following the previous steps on how to customize your widgets location, you are going to click the "Copy" button once it is on the spot you like.
  
  
• Once you clicked it, you are going to activate the "Elements Preset Lock" function in the wallpaper settings.
  
  
  
  
• And you will do "CTRL + V" keys of your keyboard on the text field "Lock Preset".
  
  
  
  
• Now your widgets will always remain on the same place after reboot!

If you want to make your own tutorial or translate this guide, you can add me here on steam and we can discuss about it!

If you have found a bug or issue inside the wallpaper and you want it to be fixed, you can do so yourself by being a contribuitor in our Github Repository:

MCCW Official Repository[github.com]

There you will be able to fork the project, fix or add features and submit a merge request so we can analyze it and publish it.

WARNING:
We will no longer provide support for minor bugs, issues or features that do not require inmediate atention from our part. This wallpaper is now community driven, if you want to know more read the initial warning at the beginning of the guide.

Thanks,
