*Elementary has been updated!
This is the old version,Click here to go to the new version!
I'm leaving this old deviation up instead of replacing it with the new version because of changes in the translation system.
(The new version may not support all the languages supported by this older version for quite some time.)
*If you experience a problem with these skins then try the new version first to see if it has already been corrected.
Thanks!
How to:
Make sure you have Rainmeter installed (version 2.5 or later). If you are new to Rainmeter, you may want to check out some walkthroughs to get familiar with the program, like the "Getting Started" section of the manual or this Lifehacker article. Download the .rmskin file from the link near the top right of this page. You should be able to run the file with Rainstaller, which will put all the files in the right places on your system. Edit the file "...Skins/Elementary/@Resources/Settings.txt" to change settings. "...Skins/Elementary/ReadMe.rtf" has explanations of all the options!Credits:

...but seriously. First I would try the new version - it has a nice help file.
I'm not sure. At the moment "rotterdam,nl" works OKAY for me; you might also try using an airport code (EHRD).
To start, just copy "...\Skins\Elementary\Weather" as "...\Skins\Elementary\Weather2".
At that point you can have two weather skins but they will both use the same location.
So edit settings.txt (in ...\Elementary\~resources) and add a new variable for the second location, like "location2
THEN in the copies of the weather skin, you need to change the "URL" line in the [msrCurrent] and [msrForecast] sections so that it uses your new variable.
Hopefully that is clear; if I did not explain in enough detail or you have further questions just ask.
The only issue that i've found so far is that some spanish words are too wide and they look cut. So i've replaced some of them for a less wider synonim. A precise case is with the word "Actualmente" (now) that i've translated to "Ahora" (now). Is a little less formal and represent the same idea but it looks nice.
That does tend to happen. I spaced everything for the English words so when using different languages things can be a bit off. In that precise case, you can also modify the "X" position of the string to move it further to the right, so the left side doesn't get cut off. I might change the Spanish translation to use your synonym, that way people won't need to edit the weather skin...
