How to...?

Post by noobert »

Hai~!

I'm brand new to RM and I've searched on forums on how to manually install all the [weather, time, etc] themes, but cannot find.

I was wondering how to use custom themes. Like the one not having the standard windows bar and standard windows icons ?

thanks

Not to toot my own horn... but http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/78752 is a skin that is a feed from that website.
If you really just want the weather code, here's how: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Tips-WeatherLocationCode
For that wesbite, it's a bit hard to get the weather code.

If you are using The F***ing Weather skin from the link I provided, just add &CELSIUS=yes to the url.

If it is another skin, post the code in [ code ] tags here so we can help. It may be changing something similar to &unit=f to &unit=m.
