Description
I was inspired by the news paper skin and thought of creating a skin similar to that one.Information:
1) Weather code has to be entered at two places, one for the weather and another one to display the location.
2) The media player skin I have created 2 versions, one just displays now playing and another one contains all the media player options.
3) I have created 1 day and 2 days weather skins.
4) If you mouse over the month on the calender, notes should pop up. But Please remember to change the path of the notes file.
Wallpaper:
I kind of created this wallpaper, with materials from DA and outside sources. In DA the credits go to,

Works great other than one issue: weather doesn't change from metric (celsius) in either Weather 1 or 2 .ini files. Placed in the same weather code and type (for farenheit) from gazette but that doesn't change this.

I can't get the weather ro work, not sure why but the instructions on where to paste the location code are confusing to me.
So I decided to try putting it in the weather1 and 2 ini files under variables for location= I put USID0204
If I click at the top it goes to weather.com with the proper location but nothing shows even after refreching just the basic text and no numbers pretty much
Im not sure what this part of the instructions is referring to
"click the button on the upper right corner of the skin to open the panel"
Thank you for the skins though I like the style

Really a beautiful theme. Love the amount of details you put into it. You should just maybe add some shadows between the layers to add more depth.
Great work !

Holy crap, something actually unique in a Rainmeter skin that doesn't look like the same old boring boxes and crap. It's awesome! I love it <3 Keep up the great work. It's a really fun skin!

Very Nice; I actually think I may try to use it.
I love the Medieval motif and atmosphere...even though such "modern" things as weather predictions and CPU or Hard/Flash Drive space outright would never have existed on a piece of parchment...I still like this a lot. ^^

Thank you for your nice comment, yea you are right, such things still dont exists in a piece of paper. After I came back from Europe, I kind of fell in love with these medieval stuff and after playing Medieval Total war I kind of became obsessed with these things. I am glad you like it and thanks for favoring this.

Aww, you're lucky, you got to visit Europe; I got my liking of the era, from books, images, and just, something that came to me as a natural interest...but I never have been able to actually go and see the real castles or other Medieval designs and atmosphere of Europe...T,T
I really do, and I've downloaded it; now, I just have to figure out how to get it to work with some of my other skins that I use...IF I can...

Cool.....If you have any problem with the skin please tell, I can help with what knowledge I have about rainmeter.

Okay; thank you. ^^
I'm sure you far more about the program than I do; anything I've ever edited with the couple .ini files for the small ones I use, is complete guesswork and there's much I still don't know about. I'll appreciate being able to acquire any knowledge if/when I need it. ^^

It's nice, but you should just include the fonts in the skin in the @Resources folder.

Thank you for you comment, in future I will include the fonts in resource folder.

No problem. I know how difficult it is to come up with something new and original. Especially with meters!
