This is just everything that is wrong with Enigma. Six include files in a simple weather skin. For crying out loud. Now that the original author has moved on and no longer supports the suite, the fact that it was written with the goal that "an end user never needs to see or understand a single line of Rainmeter code" is coming home to roost. This suite was and is just unsupportable.

Its showing words now and some percentages and a couple of 0 degrees, I went to the weathercodefinder.ini and it's showing my location is set, but still nothing.

Sorry, I really just don't know. If you have a stock Enigma suite and you simply go to

"C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Enigma\@Resources\Measures\YahooWeather.inc"

And change:

Url=http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=#CurrentCode#&u=#Unit#

To:

Url=http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=#CurrentCode#&u=#Unit#

Save and refresh Rainmeter and it WILL work fine. That is about as far as I am willing to dig into Engma, and if you have changed other files or options I'm not sure what to tell you.

Can't find any xml data at accuweather. So, gonna go with yahoo if I can find any good weather skins. Guess I'll look at deviant, only place I can find rainmeter skins. Hmmm, wonder if yahoo uses accuweather???

Yahoo uses Weather.com. (The Weather Channel)

For Enigma, you need to also change the weather codes you set in options.ini from the old place codes (either ZIP codes or codes in the format 'USCA0246') to the new WOEID codes, and change the "DST offset" to GMT offset for the right time zones.

Just struggled through this today to get one of three PCs fixed for weather/country codes. Thanks to jsmorley and moshi for the pointing in the right direction.

Edit: I did notice on a newer version of Enigma on my laptop, "weather code finder" was already using WOEIDs, so just fixing the yahoo URL did the trick.
