    I've downloaded the Rainmeter software and have everything installed and working for the most part, but I'm having trouble with the HUD.Vision skin I'd like to use...specifically the weather application. The original .ini file works flawlessly, but when I change it to my two cities of choice it won't refresh properly. It looks and functions like the original file was never touched. I'm sure I'm just overlooking something simple I just can't figure out what. :confused:

    I ran into the same problems you did. Did you make sure to edit both places where the city information shows up? It's in the beginning of the ini files as well as the end. Once you edit both, then you need to reboot or something till it starts working. When I first edited it, it wouldn't refresh and show up till after a few reboots. But now, it works flawlessly. Good luck.

    Yeah I was careful to change it each place, but I didn't think of rebooting (DUH! :rolleyes:). It's a new laptop and I've been monitoring temps and letting it sleep when not in use to make sure everything's working as it should. I don't think it's been shut down since I installed it. I'll try that first thing when I get off work.

    Thank you for your help!

    No problem. Like I said...for some reason it wouldn't update for awhile...even after a reboot as well. Then out of the blue it started to display values, so I dunno haha. Good luck, you might also have to edit the actual position of the labels depending on how long the names of your places our (the x-pos values are at the bottom of the .ini file I believe).
