You have to setup WeatherPanel to retrieve radar images from a URL.

In the WeatherPanel settings, select your city and click Edit. Then click the Weather Images button. Choose Add New, then type a name and the URL to the image you want.

I used the URL to one of my local tv station web sites: http://www.king5.com/sharedcontent/n...le-440x330.jpg

When you find the image you want (in IE on your PC), right-click on it, choose properties, and you'll see it's URL. This is what you type into WeatherPanel. By the way, it doesn't have to be a radar image - it can by any type of image you want. For example: Solar system simulator: http://mars1.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/realtime/odyssey.jpg

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...
