Also, wow do you get the traffic camera to show up?
Idea # 1: You're suffering from the WeatherPanel Moon problem. See this post.

Idea # 2: WeatherPanel can retrieve radar images from any URL. It didn't take folks long to realize that it will retrieve any type of image on a schedule. Traffic cameras are a natural. Here's what to do:
  • 1. Surf the net and find the image you want (it should be an image that's updated periodically, on a schedule). In the browser, right-click on the image and choose Properties. Highlight the Address (URL) and copy it to the clipboard.

    2. Open the radars.txt file on your device (either with PWord, or copy it to your PC and open it with Notepad). It can be found in the \Program Files\MarsWare\Weatherpanel folder.

    3. At the top of the file, insert a new line and type a heading for your URL, like "Traffic" or something.

    4, Insert another line after your heading, and paste your URL from the clipboard. For example, I've added these to my radars.txt file:
    5. Save the file, and copy it back to your device, if necessary.

    6. In the WeatherPanel settings, select your city and click Edit. Then click the Weather Images button. Choose Add New, then select the name you just added.
Another thing: After WeatherPanel has collected a few images, it displays a little play button on the image. When clicked, it will animate all of the images it has...
