Elementary
for Rainmeter; version 3.1Simple, text-based Rainmeter skins, for someone who doesn't need to monitor their overclocked 8-core processor, but does want the time and date on their desktop.
How To
Make sure you have Rainmeter installed (version 4.0 or later). If you have never used Rainmeter before, you may want to check out some walkthroughs to get familiar with the program, like the Getting Started section of the official manual or this LifeHacker article. Download the .rmskin package from the link near the top-right of this page. Your browser should give you the option to open the file with the Rainmeter Skin Installer, or you can double-click the downloaded file later to open the installer. In either case, Rainmeter should put all the files in the right places for you. After installing, you can launch Elementary skins using Rainmeter's Manage dialog or context menu. Check this wiki page for instructions on configuring the skins!Some of the new stuff
I finally updated the weather skin to use the Weather.com WXData feed rather than the (now borked) Yahoo YQL API Added lots of custom context menu actions for toggling things like 12/24 hour clocks, weather units, and so forth Spotify skin (many thanks to .raptor on the Rainmeter Forums for a snazzy Spotify plugin!) Two new languages: Vietnamese and Brazilian Portuguese Removed the feed skin. It also used the YQL API, which is no longer available. Removed the system search skin. (It complicated the release process and seriously, I just hit the Windows key.) Simplified the folder structure, using the Resources folder less and moving config files that are Included into more than one skin closer to the skin they're used with. Variables which only apply to a single config are now located in that config rather than a central settings file. This should hopefully make editing the skins to your heart's content a bit easier.Interested in the gritty details? This project is on GitHub, where you can see an exhaustive list of changes by looking at the commit history.
As usual, all constructive criticism, feature suggestions, and bug reports are greatly appreciated.
However, I won't have a lot of time to keep updating these skins in the future, so responses may be few and far between! The best way to report a bug or request a feature is to use the Issues Page on GitHub (just check for an existing issue with your problem first!)Let there be Credits!

It looks like under the two forecastCondition definitions you have it pulling <part p="d" > when it looks like it should be <part p="n"> based on how the new data is formatted. (p="d" is still good for the forecastPrecip definition though)
I just downloaded this last night and spent a while playing around with it. The only question I have is how to remove the AM/PM indicator for 24-hour time. The hours switched over to 24h, but the indicator stayed.
[Variables]
forecast=.*<yweather:forecast.*code=12785799"(.*)".*day="([A-Za-z]+)".*high="(.*)".*low="(.*)"
But that didn't work. I'd appreciate any help when you get time! I've used this skin for YEARS and I still love it.
How do it get it for my location?
Find: [msrWeekdayC]
Under that find: Formula= (msrWeekday)
Change it to: Formula= (msrWeekday + 1)
This should increment the weekday ahead by one, so Sunday will go from 7 to 1, Monday 1 to 2, etc.
The skin itself actually checks the website every 20 minutes for information. If you want to reduce it to every 10 minutes Change "UpdateRate=1200" to "UpdateRate=600"
p.s. devart seems to be using the first # in each thing i just said as a code of some sort, disregard the coding devart is doing to my response lol.
Also changing the settings.ini doesnt make the clock go in 24-hour like it should.
would it be something like
[Variables]
HideWhenNotPlaying=1
HideWhenPaused=1
Thanks!

If that isn't possible, how can I hide "postion/duration"?
Thanks!
Removing the position / duration display string is pretty simple. Right click on the media skin and select "Edit skin" in the menu, which should open the skin file in a plaintext editor like notepad. At the very bottom of the file as a section called "[meterTime]". You just need to comment out this entire section by putting a ";" at the beginning of each line, save the file, and refresh the skin. (You could also just delete the lines, but you might want them back later.)
So for example, if I wanted the Hour in the clock skin to be a different color than the minutes and seconds, I would edit "time-hms.ini", find the "[mtrHour]" section, and add something like "FontColor=250,10,10". After saving the file and refreshing the skin, the hours would be red.
