Artist's Note
An edit of the Statica skin (found here: http://traversfx.deviantart.com/art/statica-105144598), to add a weather window.
Edit: Date now lines up with Month in digital clock.
Edit 2: Uploaded correct file now.
This new edition also has a version of the 10-foot HUD (from here: http://lifehacker.com/5084412/configure-your-own-rainmeter-10+foot-hud), if you like it, great, if not, you can always turn it off in skins>advanced. The same goes with the weather window. There is also a calendar list which can be activated from that menu, but I didn't make that.
As I see use for them, I may add other windows (RSS, moonphase etc.) but here is the skin so far. I may also copy the weather display from the 10 foot HUD, if there is demand for it and/or I have the time.
Also, since I answered one person's message about fonts, to change the ones which can be changed (some are bitmaps, so cannot be changed without editing the images directly), do the following:
Open the skin with 7zip (or some other archive manager - you may need to rename the file from .r2skin to .zip).
You then open the \xml\elements.xml file and change any mention of calibri to the font you choose.

Go to msn.com weather and find the RSS feed address for your area by first finding your area on the site and clicking the RSS feed button. The address for your area will be where you are directed. Copy the address then go to Rainlendar options - skins - see the active skins window on the right and double click where it says StaticaEN-Weather and paste your RSS feed address into the skin's weather option. You have to use CTRL V.

Great skin but one problem.
How do I edit the transparency level's? I can barely see the clock at all.
I know how to edit transparency in the application itself, I have it set to 100%, but the clock is still quite difficult to see.
Thanks in advance.

How to change time from "am/pm=12 h" to 24 h format type?
I see this element in digital_clock.xml :
<time x="0" y="0" align="TOP-LEFT" element="hud.font.clock" color="255,255,255,50" format="%I:%M %p"/>
I guess I should change format="" but to what?

Have just sent you a message but I will post here to see if anyone else agrees with it...
One request if possible can you change the colours on events ? (The triangle shape at the top left)
It would be great if there was white, yellow, orange, red and green to represent birthdays, exams etc.
Keep up the great work.

RSS would be awesome. I've been waiting forever for a minimalist/transparent skin like this with a native RSS.

Paolo264 > I had that problem too! Anyway after some experimenting, have found out how to increase the transparency value of the digital clock. :)
filename: StaticaEN_HUD_Edit\xml\digital_clock.xml
Look for this line of code:
<time x="0" y="0" align="TOP-LEFT" element="hud.font.clock" color="255,255,255,50" format="%I:%M %p"/>
What you need to change is the 4th value in the color parameter. Put 0 for total transparency, or a huge number like 255, for more opacity (more visibility). The first 3 values are for the R,G,B color values.
Save the XML and re-zip everything and rename the zip to .r2skin... voila~ You now have a more visible digital clock. :)
Hope this helps.

for those who want to change the clock time (24 hours clock) this is what you need to do :- in the elements.xml instead of those originals values put thoses :
<font id="hud.font.clock" facename="Calibri" size="68" uppercase="1"/>
<font id="hud.font.date" facename="Calibri" size="48" uppercase="1"/>
<font id="hud.font.month" facename="Calibri" size="18" uppercase="1"/>
<font id="hud.font.day" facename="Calibri" size="18" uppercase="1"/>
and in the digital_clock.xml write this instead of the original values :
[skin]
<window id="Digital Clock" w="210" default="1">
<time x="0" y="0" align="TOP-LEFT" element="hud.font.clock" color="255,255,255,150" format="%H:%M"/>
<time x="5" y="72" align="TOP-LEFT" element="hud.font.date" color="255,255,255,150" format="%d" />
<time x="200" y="88" align="TOP-RIGHT" element="hud.font.month" color="255,255,255,150" format="%B"/>
<time x="200" y="110" align="TOP-RIGHT" element="hud.font.day" color="255,255,255,150" format="%A"/>
[/window]

Great skin but my events list looks nothing like it does in the screenshot. The text is all cluttered together, does anyone know how to fix that?
