    I'm trying to put my location into the weather skin, but I'm not sure where to get the code for my location. People say to get it on weather.com, but where do I get the location code there? Is is on the page you get looking for your area's temperature? I can't find this stinking code anywhere. Do you find it on the page source?

    I think most of the weather apps allow you to just put in your zip code if you live in the US and that should get the job done. But if it only works with the weather code then what you need to do is search the city you live in at weather.com. The weather code should be in the URL. For example, the url for my city is: http://www.weather.com/weather/right-now/Governador+Valadares+Brazil+BRXX0100

    The weather code would be the "BRXX0100" part.

    ok, I think I get it. Gonna have to remember that.
    Right now I'm trying to find a different weather skin though. The one I have right now is a little bulky for my taste. I found another, but it's a ZIP file, and i have no idea how to open those. Or rather, how to get it to appear on my desktop. I try to bring it up using the normal means, but it doesn't appear. I wonder if I have to do something with the ZIP file. I've never done stuff with ZIP or RAR, so I have no idea what I'm doing.
