"No-Flag" version configuration
This can be manually configured by edit the ini file use a text-editor.
- Right click the skin then choose "edit skin"
- Find the module [MeterHoursUTC0]
- Find the attribute "ImageName=hand12wf.png". To do this, in most text-editor you can press 'ctrl+F' to call out the search window, than input "ImageName=hand12wf.png" to find out the line
- Modify this line with "ImageName=hand12w.png"

This can also be achieved by changing the file name "hand12w.png" to "hand12wf.png" in the corresponding folder
The flags' shapes used by the skin are from Country-flags repo in github .
Rainmeter will run on Windows 7 (Service Pack 1 and Platform Update required) and above.
Open Assets Folder and install led16sgmnt2-Italic-1.ttf file to your windows, then restart Rainmeter, the Font should be loaded.
I've tried to make all the name of the variables and each modules/meters easy to understand.
Image files are created by svg shapes, which can be modified with svg comptible softwares, like inkscape .
Other parts you can find in Components folder.
