I have created a skin to display currency exchange rates. Hope someone finds it useful.
Please be gentle, I don't handle criticism well, and I might have to set my dog on you!

Re: Currency Exchange - new skin
Total rubbish and waste of disk space. Who needs this kind of stuff anyway? And it looks ugly too!
Just kidding
I'm sure this is useful for people who travel a lot or handle money on a regular basis. Do you get the exchange rates from the web or are they hard-coded?

Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

I was just getting the dog warmed up there.
The rates come from Google finance and are updated about once an hour.

Re: Currency Exchange - new skin
I'll have a think about that. Thanks for the ideas. I did start to use ForexRate.co.uk for this application but it started to complain about me accessing the page too often, when I was testing. That was why I switched to Google. I didn't need an up to the minute value for my purposes so I just picked an hourly update at random, you could change the RateUp value in the CurrencyX skin to refresh more often. I am not sure how often Google finance updates though.
