| == Forecast for Unknown Locations ==

| == Weather fanart ==
| |
| [[File:Weather_Underground_fanart_path.jpg|thumb|500px|Selecting and setting the fanart path should look something like this]]
| |
| This allows you to show different images depending upon the current weather conditions. So, you can have background images of rain when its rainy, clouds when cloudy, etc. There are 800 images in all, which will change in the background according to the weather conditions and time of the day.

| ;Grabbing The fanart package:
| |
| This is graciously hosted by a XBMC user, and offers various options for the pack download from .torrent to .nzb and included direct downloads.
| |
| :You can grab the weather fanart package from http://xbmc.exstatic.org/weather_fanart/ there are several packs available, depending on your intended target resolution, keeping in mind the higher the resolution the more resources it will consume.
| |
| | |
| ;Using the fanart package:
| |
| :Next you need to extract the archive file to a location of your choosing (keeping the directory structure). You will notice that the archive contains a bunch of numbered folders in it, the numbers are what xbmc uses to pick the right condition '''so do not rename them'''.
