Description
UPDATE! The skin comes now with two variants, that show information from two different weather feeds, Yahoo! and The Channel Weather. That is why it is re-named to Simple Weather.Rainmeter 2.3.3 (or higher) is required. Get it here .
~~~~~~ Old description ~~~~~~~~
This is my first skin release. I hope you all like it!
I am obliged to say that I was inspired by this screenshot:
March '11 Geektool Desktop -[link]
So kudos to the original artist. If anyone know him/her, let me know so that I can credit them properly.
Besides that, I have to say that I simply use Yahoo! Weather information & icons, and do not claim them as my own.
Unfortunately, the font I used ("Helvetica Neue") is not free, as I know of, so I didn't include it in this release. If anyone is certain that it is free, please post it so that I can include it in a updated release.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I LOVE IT!
There is one problem though, I cant get the Weather Location work right. When I edit it, it doesnt show anything anymore. I guess I'm doing it wrong
Whats the right version of this line "Url=[link] " when my Yahoo weather location is
[link] ?
Thanks again!
I appreciate your work!

Thank you for you kind words.
About the weather location, visiting this link [link] will help. Using these guide lines I find your code to be: GMXX0049.
Besides that, you don't have to edit the "URL" at the Webparser measure. Just edit the WeatherCode= Variable, under the Variables section.

I just noticed that I'm totally wrong and that I was messing up the code. I guess I have to change the Location in these Lines "[Variables]
;=====Weather=====
WeatherCode=GRxx0019"
I still have not found the "code" for my region, but I try my best.
Sorry for the stupid first comment - I just installed Rainmeter today.

Right click the skin --> edit, and the go to the end of file, in the [CurrentTemperature] measure. There, change the "fontcolor" key to FFFFFF.
That means, change this:
Fontcolor=20,20,20,250
to this:
Fontcolor=FFFFFF
