Try pressing the refresh button next to Yellowknife in the settings menu. That should update the location.

Looking though the variables I noticed there are 2 for weather location, Location= and LOCATIONCODE=. LOCATIONCODE was changed though the settings correctly. I changed Location= to my code (it was still yellowknife) and it shows my city now.

I noticed that as well. I'll be throwing out another one soon.

Could you post a screenshot of your desktop using the skin?

Ok, i hope the image uses hsimg correctly, i resized it to save space.

As you can see the system32 icons displayed fine for me as well.
Clicking the weather refresh correctly found my location and set the weather right.

The error on the screen was when I clicked My documents, as I said I have the Documents on another drive, so maybe you could change that link to use an environment variable like "%USERPROFILE%\Documents", but the music worked fine and it is on the same drive....

oh and the games icons look fine now

I'm glad you have so many variances from my system. Changing the location of the user folders to a variable is a good idea. One I will employ.

A few questions...

Did the tutorial run through properly?
Does the find location button play a sound?
Does the show desktop button in the top-right corner work properly?

And what do you think the skin is lacking?

Yes the tutorial seemed to be fine, except at the end I had to click the upper check as the bottom one was greyed out.

Yes the cool sound was played correctly.

The show desktop button hid everything in the main window but not the settings window.

That's all expected, actually. The checkmark is grayed out so that if someone tries to skip through the tutorial quickly they don't accidentally launch the application behind it when it closes. At the end of the tutorial you can either hit the big gear button, or the little gear button to continue.

You can middle click on the help button in settings to reset the tutorial mode.

And I decided to make the Desktop button hide everything except the settings menu.

I think I should be able to go ahead now. It seems like everything is working right with Windows 7. Now I just need to have a pre-setup menu that the user chooses whether they are using Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 to alter toolbar directories accordingly, and choose their resolution. All the boring stuff. I'll post an update when that is done, but thanks a lot for your help. Its been helpful.

Very Nice.. Although I don't really like metro, this skin/suite is very nicely composited. Good Work, keep it up :)

PS. Didn't noticed any bugs, works like a charm

BTW. About hosting.. why don't you upload it to dropbox? I can't even download latest version...
On Google Drive I have to ckick 4 times before download starting, on dropbox it's only one, also they don't complain about false-positive.
