Another new guy

Post by Old Mate »

Hi all, my name's Brad and I don't really have a clue about this kind of stuff but am trying to learn. Saw some really cool designs on here that have inspired me to have a crack myself. While I'm here I may as well ask a quick stupid question.

So I want to use the second world skin for weather and I know have to get the weather code off the yahoo site and enter it to get weather for my location. All well and good except where is the code? I can't find it on the site.

:welcome: Brad.

Click the RSS icon on the yahoo weather page which should give the weather code.

Thanks for the welcome and the tip Ben. I've got that sorted now and now have another question lol. I got rocket dock and downloaded a couple groups of icons. I've moved them to the icon folder in rocket dock but whenever I select them they're displayed as a blank page. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I read the online tutorial but I've done what it said already.

I've never had that problem, my advice is to make your own icons out of PGN images. here is a good online converter:

Thanks Nashen, all good now though. They still don't work but I've tried some others and they work fine and I'm happy with them
