You are welcome! It's a "classic", but very useful, suite of skins!

Fixed weather coding! Weather, location, and sunrise/sunset should all work now...
Improved ability to select and move by adding semi-transparent backgrounds to all text skins.

Thanks for posting the update! I still love this skin suite and so it's really nice to see someone giving it at least minimal upkeep for the coding impaired.
Edit: Is the weather code supposed to be the same? I downloaded the update and input my USXXXX weather code, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Weather doesn't work anymore - yahooapis.com responds with "Please provide valid credentials. OAuth oauth_problem="OST_OAUTH_PARAMETER_ABSENT_ERROR", realm="yahooapis.com""

Open the "Weather.ini" file in text editor and change the portion of the URL= line from "weather.yahooapis.com" to "xml.weather.yahoo.com"Β in theΒ [MeasureWeather] section...
Refresh the skin and all should be good!
I may post an update, if I can find the time...
EDIT: You will also need to make that same change in 2 places in the "Simplesentence.ini" for the [MeasureWeather] and [MeasureRise] sections.

ChangedΒ URL= line from "weather.yahooapis.com" to "xml.weather.yahoo.com" but still not working. Any thoughts?

Yahoo made several changes over the past months to how the weather can be accessed. The 'xml.weather.yahoo.com' mod does not work now either.
I have modded a few other Yahoo skins using a different approach, and will see about updating the weather for this as soon as I can.

Thanks for the new updates, I too would be very interested in the weather skin being fixed, it was my favorite one. Β People always comment on it when they see my screen.

Yep, Yahoo broke their public weather API very recently. Β I'm seeing if I can crowbar the weather.com api into this plugin (not original creator, just want my snarky weather back).

Ran into this as well, haven't quite got a workaround to function as I'd like just yet.

See the above post on simple edits to get weather working again...

The music player doesn't seem to be working for me. Does it function on yours? I've set the Playername to iTunes in PlayerName.inc but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I don't use iTunes and probably never will...
The documentation states the NowPlaying plugin has been tested upto version 10.2 of iTunes. Later versions may not work. Perhaps someone in the NowPlaying forum can help.

This Rainmeter skin is by White Baron (not me!). I noticed the link was no longer working on DeviantArt, so I posted it here for my reference and anyone who may want to use it.
It is a unique skin and was the original 'text' display, so I thought it deserved to be available.
