    Ok, I am making this before I head to bed. I tried to get it working, but the creator was nice enough to leave out a Read Me file, so I don't know what's what.

    Thisis the skin I am trying to get to work.

    I know what I am supposed to change, but I don't know what I am supposed to put in to replace it.

    My location is Sacramento, CA.

    If anyone knows what goes in the Location spot, that would be nice.

    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like:

    Try this for the location: USCA0967

    Got this code from weather.com

    Or this: 94203

    Got this one from http://www.rainmeter.net/locate_code (this link could be seen in the attachment you have in your post).

    Ya, I know the code, but I don't know where to put it. It looks like I have to change the EUR SE SW015 STOCKHOLM to my own location, but I don't know what to replace and keep.

    Hmm.. I would guess, yes, replace that location with US and Sacramento and CA and the code and everything (Something like US CA code SACRAMENTO?!!!)... keep the metric part if you want, as they instructions suggest... and see what happens. In the rainmeter I have, I just entered the code for the weather for my city and thats it.. may be its a different weather app... anyway...

    Ah ok.. I just tried this one myself, and I had to change the code like EUR|IT|IT006|TRIESTE

    Thats IT for Italy, so in your case I guess it should be US and then the code for your city, and finally the name of your city. See if it works.

    For the life of me, I can't get it to work! I have tried so many different combinations like:

    US | CA | 95626 | SACRAMENTO

    I also posted on Rainmeters Forum, so we will see if anyone can help me aswell.

    Well I got it working, and it was so simple it made me feel stupid.

    All I had to do was erase everything that was after Location= and just enter 95626.

    LOL

    lol, ok. Glad it worked out :)

    Btw, where did you get the code from? I'm just wondering why it' different from the one I saw! Anyway, as long as its working :) Just make sure you aren't reading the weather from some other city :D j/k.

    Cheers.

    Haha! No I checked that. I just went to the Rainmeter Location Finder, and just entered the city I am in *in this case I used "Elverta", instead of the main city Sacramento "Elverta is a small city within Sacramento"*.

    So the code you provided worked perfect! I just decided I should use the one closest to me, rather than a few miles away.

    Thanks for all the help!
