Still seems to be a periodic problem with the location of the Update banner at the bottom of the Detailed forecast window and a problem with the top part of the window's main forecast icons.
My keeping the WW window as tight as possible could play a role in the Update banner's location problem. But it's not a consistent problem.
The icon problem appears to be due to my name for the icons I like.

The part of code for the bottom banner is Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional which I verified, so blame IE and its rendering of HTML

Good job!
I notice that some of your wind direction arrows look the same (example, SSE and ESE look the same)
I decide to use my own "wind" icon. Feel free to use it if you like.
Great job with the moon phase icons!
After you perfect your skin, you might want to include an option to rotate the moon image by 180 degrees to reflect how the moon looks in the southern hemisphere.

I'm using Vista Inspirat Brico Pack 2 1.0, True Transparency v 0.9.1, Weather Watcher v5.6.25l, and The most recent version of the Vista Skin that was posted on 03/28/2008 by redhotpaprika above. I had some strange things happen to me when I was creating an interface skin and had some mismatched sizes with some of my graphic files. Maybe you somehow got a corrupted file and just need to download a fresh copy of the skin. The softpedia article that EdP found goes on to mention specifically 64bit Windows and GIMP as being problems with Vista Inspirat. I personally don't use either of those and haven't run into any real problems with the theme. I've been using it for quite some time now. I only recently discovered True Transparency and I was about to give up on it until I managed to get v0.9.1. and figured out how to edit the exclude.dat file in the download. Still, I didn't have to exclude WeatherWatcher though... In case you're not completely up to date, as far as I know the latest Vista Inspirat Brico Pack is at CrystalXP.net here and this link is where I got v 0.9.1 of TrueTransparency.
i just updated true trans 9.02, i have the 5.6.8 v. of W.W. brico pack 2.1.0
and still have the same problem with the interface skin option

redhotpaprika, if you get a chance change line 50 of functions.js
from
Code: goodPath = goodPath.replace("hiny/", "hiny/large/"); to Code: goodPath = goodPath.replace("/Shiny/", "/Shiny/large/");
Current it doesn't work with my "Eds Shiny" icon set.

Trust you meant "Freezing" mark at 0 degrees C/ 32 degrees F (Hot is more arbitrary)
Great stuff.

No, I meant what I meant. "Freezing" (which means "extremely cold" according to the Collins dictionary) icon is supposed to appear at 0 F / -18 C or below. And of course both hot and cold marks are totally arbitrary, based on my personal perception of the temperature. I hope to figure out later how to make this thing optional, I haven't even looked into it yet... Glad you are enjoying the skin!

Absolutely superb skin - I swapped as soon as I found it after using Ed's soup skin for years. Simple and very clear design, I love the weather icons too (I do hate Vista though).
I do, however, have two suggestions:
1. Tray icon skins (Shiny - tooltip skin) - Partly/Mostly cloudy during the night in particular: The clouds cannot be easily distinguished from the moon, hence my suggestion for the moon to be a bit lighter (white/light yellow).
2. I agree with what was posted above - I also miss the thermometer (it could even be incorporated as another -3rd - 'dial' together with the wind speedometer/barometer or it could be placed on the far right where there is space).
