I can't seem to get the weather to download in my version at all. I have the wet chrome skin with clock, events, tasks, but no weather. What am I doing wrong?

Can I change the locale in the weather window? If so, how?

OK so I have been playing around with the weather and finally got it to work with any location. This is what you need to do.
First I will repeat Net-man's instructions for adding the weather window
1) Go to options->skins
2) Select skin "Chromo" and click button "advanced"
3) Click "+" near "Chromo" and select "Weather" in list under it
4) Click button "->" (The arrow) to add that to the right window
5) Click button "Ok"
Next the key is to copy the default weather location in your browser. To do this repeat the steps.
1) Right click on rainlendar and choose options in the menu.
2) Select the skin menu at the top and click on it..
3)Click on chromo weather in the right pane and select the settings button.
4) You will see the weather location field. You can copy this into your browser and it will come up with the feed giving detailed information on the default weather location. All you need to do is keep the same information but change the code numbers and letters. I will show you what I mean.
The default code is as follows:
http://weather.msn.com/RSS.aspx?wealocat
ions=wc:UPXX0021&weadegreetype=C
For my location which is Kentville Canada I use this code:
http://weather.msn.com/RSS.aspx?wealocat
ions=wc:CAXX0219&weadegreetype=C
As you can see I simply replaced UPXX0021 with CAXX0219. Everything else stays the same. To get the code go to msn weather and type in your location and hit enter. The weather code will be in your browser. Just use those code digits and letters to replace the default code. Do not replace everything, just the UPXX0021 for whatever yours is.
Not sure I did a good job explaining this but it works for me. If you need clarification let me know.

OK let me make this even easier. No need to do all of the above.


1) Go to http://weather.msn.com/
2) Enter your city into the find weather for box and press go.
3) Click the orange feed box on far right that is close to the top and under the °F | °C selection.
4) Paste the info from your browser into the weather settings of the skin.
