Could you tell me how you managed to get your 10-Foot HUD Weather whatsit to work? I've followed the instructions in the .ini but I cant the code or get the weather to show, thanks.

in the ini file there is a string near the top for the weather url it has http://xaop.weather.com,,,,,,,,, change this to
URL=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/UKXX0045?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6 with the UKXX0045 changing to the code for the area you are in

 

[Mr.Nick]

Still cant get it working, I need the code for Hereford/shire, and i cant find it on weather.com

 

[marc2003]

what happens if you type hereford in the search box on weather.com?

http://www.weather.com/outlook/trav...ford, United Kingdom&from=searchbox_typeahead

code is in the URL - UKXX0245

 

[Mr.Nick]

So do I copy the URL or copy the code from the URL, god I sound like such a muppet I've never been able to get my head around weather widgets and stuff like that.

right click on the weather HUD (think it just shows as an o just now) and select edit skin

from the top third of the ini you will see this line

URL=http://xaop.weather.com/weather/local/UKXX0045?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6

change the first part so it reads like this

URL=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/UKXX0045?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6

then save the ini.

refresh to see if you can get that working.

hopefully you can then replace the code UKXX0045 in the above string with the UKXX0245 for your area. you may be able to get a specific town if that one is too vague check www.weather.com for the code though

 

[Mr.Nick]

Great, I got it working, thanks Derek W for that and marc2003

good stuff, getting your head round the ini files if you're not up to speed with what line does what then it can be a bit of a hassle. I'm the same but I'm slowly learning

To use OCUK dark you need to install Stylish-http://userstyles.org/ click on "go-get-it" . Then the OCUK-Dark is here-http://userstyles.org/styles/10304

Any screen shots of this? i know there is one on the site but a few more would be good.

Thanks

Just a question to those of you who have installed Win7 Blend. Is it necessary to completely disable UAC to run Theme Patcher? And if it is, can it be safely re-enabled afterwards?

 

[MoNkEyMiKeY]

How do you stop that dark theme resizing pictures on the forum?
