Love it! latest New Guy
So I came across this while my buddy was searching /wg/ and did some cyber walking. I got most of it all set up after the install, and am still getting used to what is currently available to me. Im wondering is there a way to override Aero on Vista with this program? I REALLY like the 1 pixel border and transparency. Still trying to get my temperature to work, but im chalking that upto the fact im in Iraq. This reminds me of the setup i would go for in WoW. I love how i can group things where ever i want, and im going to research how to make shortcuts like the "launch bar" has in it.

I presume you are using windows Vista or 7, that being teh case, you will need a third party solution for the Temp monitor(s)
I am not certain what you mean by "Over ride Aero", but we look into each concept carefully here, so I would like to know more.
Have fun and as you need assistance, let us know, and hopefuly in time you will be able to help others

yeah i d/l this 10ft HUD ini file, and i changed the city code to match that of Fort Hood/Killeen, TX, but it still doesnt show anything for temperature. I am using Vista 32bit. laptop is a bit on the old side now. I've had it since May 07, and this is it 2nd deployment, lol. Also Currently i am using the Enigma setup with the 10ft HUD addons of the clock and temp http://lifehacker.com/5084412/configure-your-own-rainmeter-10+foot-hud.

I think because this skin uses the xoap weather.com feed this is why nothing works
![Smiler :)](./images/smilies/ab.gif)
That feed was removed by weather.com back in june.
replace URL to
URL=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/YOUR WEATHER CODE?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Rainmeter]
10-Foot HUD (White) - Created by Stephen R Gibson, based on MoxaWeather.
[Variables]
;Find your weather code at Weather.com (like UKXX0296 below) and replace the one in this URL.
;To have the temperature display in Farenheit, delete "&unit=m" from the URL.
URL=http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/UKXX0296?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6**
** this is the line that needs changing **
Please bear in mind the weather.com feed is likely to be withdrawn at any time so this is only a makeshift way to get the data.
Rainmeter will be changing uniformly to Yahoo! Weather soon.

Re: Love it! latest New Guy
hmm...so you think I should/could replace that URL line with the Accuweather one found in Enigma, or just wait for the Yahoo change?

Re: Love it! latest New Guy
if you replace the url you will have to parse the feed from AccuWeather to suit the the one from weather comRabbid0281 wrote:hmm...so you think I should/could replace that URL line with the Accuweather one found in Enigma, or just wait for the Yahoo change?
Zero at programing, zero at writing codes, so far 2 at making images
But I'm good at copy/paste, and I not always like this![Image](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IPsn2XV33HQ/SvcKySmJ4TI/AAAAAAAAAL4/8PECBCBrKoQ/s400/mylogo.png)

Re: Love it! latest New Guy
Been working on it a lil here and there. Got really busy at work lately. Showed Rainmeter to a bunch of my Army buddies and they thought right away it was W7, lol. I told them, nope. So hopefully I've sparked an interest in those ppl in that they will search for it on the internet.
