Customizing to imperial measures

Any help?
Hi Alex, I've just downloaded YoWindow today and would appreciate detail on how you customized to imperial measures. I am British/Australian residing in OZ :friends:

Because you are speaking about "downloading YoWindow" i guess you mean the desktop version of YoWindow. In this case you can have custom units by just chosing that from the options - have a look at the screenshot below:

In case you mean the widget, there is a list of available widget-parameters: http://yowindow.com/widget_parameters.php.
Check the paragraph about "Units control" by scrolling to the middle of the page (or search for this string).

Many thanks Ikarus1969 for prompt response, I should have spent more time researching what was available for customization (RTFM) :oops:
