Yeah, the panel-re-open is intended, I tried to give different names to the buttons, but they didn't change. So "OK" is ment as "Apply" and "Cancel" as "Exit". I did that because that way You can see changes at once and can skip through the skins very easily.
I will look what's wrong with the weather. Regarding the artifacts : These will go away at the next reboot. I don't know, what causes that. Seems DX has a problem there also.
Did You look at the skins themselves ? Very easy to do new ones, as it is just the background-graphic basically. All others can be left as standard or be changed, too.
My ToDo List:
-Polish some skins and text-positions
-Fix the weather object
-Add a way to import new skins DONE
-Add more meters (possibly as a new module)
-Media player ?
-Add some form of "freeform-skinning" (After 1.0)

Me too. Had to close panel with "X" at top right of form. Looks great, Carl. "HE" probably my favorite skin, followed by "Taped".

Changed for 0.97: Preferences except the mail-passwords are stored to the ini now (I don't want to mess with other users' registry)
Still try to rename the buttons in the diologues.

Okay, >600 Downloads, 3 comments, no bigger mourns. I must do something right. 
I will keep this version up a while and wait for some more feedback... Expect more skins soon, especially based on MikeB's and Tretogs work, as I have global permission by them.

I love this widget, especially since it's so skinnable. Couple of mishaps though-using UM skin:
a. Cannot close configuration with "ok"; will close with "cancel"
b. Shadow properties (DX Prop) only work on parent window "system info", not on weather or calendar.
c. 5-Day Forecast appears slightly crowded. This might be more a question of my personal taste��.
d. If widget closed and re-opened at startup one has to go through the whole process of choosing folder and setting weather zones again.
Can't wait for your final release!!!!!! BTW, Thank You! �

Maybe, one day, I'll get good enough to make the list.
Until then, looks good so far.

Z71 : You are, don't worry. The included skins are far away from complete (BluNite is in the works already, just not finished, Nordagan is planned also ). I will do packs in the future and I still hope others will jump on also.

On the weather gadget, I put in two locations, but the Names and Zip Codes didn't match, there is a swap. I had trouble closing some menus, when I clicked OK, the changes took effect, and the panel re-opened. I had to click cancel to close panel. Intended? Some Recycle Bin icons have fuzzy GFX artifacts.
Everything else I tried worked great! This looks like a handy way to have popular gadgets match one's WIndowBlinds exactly and easily. Fantastic work, keep it up!
