What are skins?
Skins are sets of files that you can create and/or share with
other users, allowing you to customize the look of Weather1.
Think of skins as "faces". You can change the "face" of Weather1.
Some skins below are shown with optional features turned on, such as the SideImage
and Multi-City view options. Keep-in-mind that just about everything is customizable. You can
hide/show any of the display fields within the main window - as well as customize the font color/size,etc
of each field (ie: if you want the temperature to be a large, red font, you can do that). The background
for the main window can easily be changed to be an image or any color or gradient. :)
Instructions:
How do you use these skins in Weather1? You already have a Skins folder
under your directory: Weather1/Skins. It contains the default skin (which
you can change). To add another skin, simply download one of these
and create a sub-directory under the Weather1/Skins directory and give
this new folder a name (usually the same as the skin name). Unzip the
skin into this new folder. To use it, simply start Weather1 and
click Options->Skins->Load a Skin, and select the skin file in the
folder you just created. That's it! To use the default skin, simply
click Options->Skins->Use Default Skin.

Weather1 Version 5.0 or later supports Visual Styles. You can download them at various places around the 'net. I plan
