New to windows 7 and got rainmeter on, is there a fix for the weather thing? Seems weather.com screwed them over?

I'm no expert with Rainmeter and have had my current setup for some time however, the following might help answer your questions :-)

Code for my 10 Ft HUD is as follows (copy txt between dotted lines):

For the weather, I use 'SimpleWeather-Update' (http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/70482).
 
I can never get rainmeter weather apps to work with UK postcodes even when I've changed the URL the app gets the information from.

edit: nevermind looks like I've managed to get it working.

Very nice. I like simple. Shame I can't get the theme to work. Followed the instructions on deviantart but to no avail. Grr
 
You just need to copy the ".theme" file and the accompanying folder to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. Just copy them from one of the "Top", "bottom", "left", "right" folders, depending on where your taskbar is (usually bottom).

And then copy and replace explorerframe.dll. Either 32bit or 64 bit depending on your version of windows 7.
