Very nicely done. Consider using a nicer font for the Time:

Yeah I am, I finally figured it out though, you have to unzip it to the desk top then go from there,

Although, i cant not get the icons to work only the clock, weather, and cpu usage

For those of you looking for a fix to the weather skin:
Line 22: http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/22
033?cc=*&dayf=6


The numbers following the last backslash are the location code. In the US it's a zip code for anywhere else, check weather.com. To get celsius measurement add &unit=m after the *.

I'm having problems with the network measures. I'd prefer to see my local ip address and it isn't measuring UL/DL at all. Thanks.

Very nice skin, but I had to do a little work to get everything working properly.

First, in addition to inputting my location code into the weather skin address (http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/22
033?cc=*&dayf=6), I also had to change xoap to xml.

Second, to make the download and upload measures actually work (originally they would not display anything), I had to delete the two lines underneath both Measure=NetIn and Measure=Netout. The skin still does not display my IP address, and I can't figure out how to fix this.

great skin thanks alot
i've changed a few things to suit my style, ie the fonts :)

only thing is i can not get the weather thing to show up at all.
i've changed the code to my local weather but that still hasn't helped
also dont know what RavenousBBT is saying about removing lines, could you please explain this ?
maybe show the code you removed?

Hey, I'm just just wondering how i can get the clock to sit closer to the top and sides of my screen. Right now it won't go past 2cm close to the top, and about 1cm close to the sides. Resolution is 1680x1050.
Thanks
