Ok, just cut the reference code from the address bar which is in capital letters and numbers (in your case it will be MXGO0451).

[albertwesquer]

so what you are saying is that i should input the capital letters in the field for the location and it should work???cuz is not working...thanks for the info.....i already try your method...any other sugestions!!!!

1st you don't need anything special to modify the data. Just use a notepad and change the XML file of the weather.

2nd the result file received from the yahoo is another xml, you'll need to modify the 1st file to match the new elements that are returned. Again this is just another notepad/text file.

If you look at the weather xml file (desklet theme) you'll notice that it refers the xml1 file and its elements. Match it with the new elements and it will work better.

NOTE: the yahoo weather file does not return 7 day forecast, so you need a new make a different looking weather desklet that isn't 7 days. UNLESS, someone knows any "undocumented" parameter to make yahoo return 7 day forecast

Hope this clears things more
