Sorry guys, due to outside commitments and life I can no longer provide support for this skin.

It will still work but if anyone is having trouble I'm sorry if I don't reply.

I've had nothing but heaps of GREAT responses to this skin - I'm glad everyone loved it as much as they did. ^_^

Intro:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My skin, taboo_Vision, is a modification/upgrade/tidy up/tweaking of Jiri Mahel's skin HUD.Vision.

HUD.Vision is one of the most popular skins for Rainmeter and one that I fell in love with, however I felt it needed just a few modification to make it truly fantastic. To anyone that has used HUD.Vision I hope you too feel taboo_Vision improves on what was already a fantastic skin, and to those of you that haven't I hope you love my skin just the same.

Any complaints, bugs, complements or requests can be sent to jamien_price@hotmail.com. I would love to hear from you all .



So, what's changed?:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General Updates:
* Did a mass overhaul on the folder structure to make it more visual and user friendly.
* Generally tidied up code where I saw fit.
* Did away with the "Black" and "White" subfolders and put each .ini together prefixed with a "B-" or a "W-".
* Removed the "Happy Name Day" skin.
* Made a very handy Reminders skin.
* Fixed the issue with the System Information skin where it will cut of some of the text.
* Removed the word "vision" from the skin names, it felt inconsistent.
* Made the previous and next track buttons on the Foobar skin the correct image.
* Changed to colour of all "bar graphs" on the white skins to a salmon colour (HDD and Battery skins).
* Added a dot (typically on the top-right of each skin) to give the mouse something to right click on and grab when moving the skins around. Also, double clicking this dot will open the folder that the .ini is in for that skin.
* I've also given the option to make the dot either white or salmon by changing the name of one file ##read instructions below##.
* In the case of the CalendarDays skin I made it so double-clicking the day marker will open its .ini folder.
* Made the marker for the day on the Calendar skin the same salmon colour.
* Any skin with a "line graph" originally had two options. One where the space under the line had a slight shading and one where the space under the line was empty. I deleted all the one's with shading as I felt they looked less classy, however with enough demand I can put them back in.
* Combined the network and the network zOOm folders.

Date Skin Updates:
* Removed the extra unnecessary text explaining the order the date is written in.
* Changed the Date skin format so the day is on top and the complete date is on the bottom. Much nicer to view.

Clock Skin Updates:
* Removed the second hand from the clocks to make them look less cluttered. It has only been commented out in the .ini however so it can easily be brought back.
* Added hourly markings on the clocks.
* Made the analogue time in the clocks a little smaller and readable.
* Renamed the clock .ini's to be either 12 or 24.
* Changed the name of the hour, minute and second .png's to English.
* Modified the hour, minute and second hands slightly.

HDD Update:
* Removed the HDD2 and HDD3 folders and made the HDDx folder refer to drive G. This folder can be easily edited to refer to whichever drive you wish by replacing any occurences of "G:" with the drive you wish to refer to.
* Made the "bar graph" for the white skin a salmon colour.
* Made it so double clicking the bar graph will open up its .ini folder.

1.1) only for installation to !!! Windows Vista !!!
Right click on your Rainmeter folder and uncheck the "Read only" box,
apply it to all files and subfolders. Now you can use taboo_Vision as
it did in Windows XP.

2.) change weather dest.
Now go to www.weather.com and search the name of city you want the weather of. Once the page loads,
look at the link up in your browser's address bar. For example, one of the cities I used was Brno, and
after searching on weather.com, the resulting page's
link was: weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/local/EZXX0002?from=recentsearch code for Brno EZXX0002

3.) only for "Picture Browser & Changing Wallpapers"

settings Monitor Resolution, example 1280x800 defined "-resize 1280 0"
and defined image path in variables "ImagePath".

4.) only for Foobar2000 "WinAmp+Foobar interface"
download [link]
must install the special Winamp API file foo_winamp_spam.dll
into the folder: C:\Program Files\foobar2000\Components\.



Weather Instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To change the destination for your weather:

1) Open your web browser and go to www.weather.com

2) At the top of this website is a search box. Type in you're destination. Lets say "Peru".
2.1) Before clicking "search" wait a sec. and a list of close matches should show up below the search box. Choose the one closest to you.
2.2) If 2.1 DOESN'T happen don't worry, just click search.

3) Take note of the link. It should look something like this:
[link] The part you are interested in is everything after the "local/" and before the "?" so "USIA0679". Copy this code.

4) Now, go to your taboo_Vision weather folder (default: C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Skins\taboo_Vision\Weather) there should be four .ini's in here.

5) Open each .ini in a text editor and search for "dest=", paste your "location code" after the equals (removing the one that's already there).
5.1) A few lines below "dest=" is another variable called "SCALE=". If you have "SCALE=m" it will show your temperatures in

6) Right click on your Rainmeter system bay icon and click "Refresh All", or if Rainmeter is closed open it.

7) The weather skin should now fetch the data for YOUR location.



Reminders Instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have installed Rainmeter to its default location (C:\Program Files\Rainmeter) No configuration should be necissary. However if you want the reminders skin to read a text file in a different location follow these instructions.

1) Go to "*Rainmeter Root*\Skins\taboo_Vision\Reminders".

2) There should be four or three files in this folder
- B-Reminders.ini
- W-Reminders.ini
- Reminders.txt, and maybe
- redme (reminders).txt

3) Open each .ini and look for the line that says "Path=C:\Program Files..." (it should be about 14 lines down). Change the path after "Path=" to point to your .txt file.

4) The Reminders skins should now display any text typed into that file.
