First: have no idea why some authors don't simply pack their work with Rainmeter's skin installer. This is the easiest way to distribute the skins. This package for instance contains a lot of different files, folders and you have to know very well what to do with them, in order to install the proper skin, into the proper location. So my first question is what have you copied and where? I suppose you've copied the right folder into your Skins folder, since if I'm not mistaken, you got the skin working, but am I right?
If I am, the second question is if you did refresh the skin (right click the skin and click Refresh), after changing the Format variable? Did you? Without a refresh, the skin doesn't see the updated variable and simply can't use it. So make sure you did refresh the skin and let me (us) know if the issue still persist.

Yep, probably that's it.

Is there a Custom skin, included into the Retto package? I can't find it. Where is it?

Ok, now I see. The settings are under the Custom skin actions in the context menu of the skin.
I wonder why these settings are available only on the weather skin and not on each of them.

Reinstall the skin (because you have already made some changes)
