As far as embedding screenshots, I upload to a web site. I think you can attach pics and get thumbnails if they're of a certain format.

darren.wlsn1 probably knows...



The hell you say

What is your widget refresh rate set to? The refresh script grabs the data from WP and updates those funny looking menu items in the WeatherPanel menu that gets installed. It then runs a little app called uBlip.exe that supposed to refresh the MS screen and show the changes.
The new icon is PERFECT! Thanks.

Re: the update of the icon, I guess I'm not quite sure I understand the script. I've turned off the auto update in WP itself. I have the widget set to update every hour (although I tried 15 minutes, without any change) because of the lack of internet I have through most of the day. I usually update the weather in the morning and then again in the late afternoon. No data plan or wireless in the outback . However, right now I'm synched to the internet, WP shows Fair and 90; the MS icon shows Clear and 84 (which was the current info an hour ago). If I set the update time in your script to 15 minutes, for instance, and I'm not connected to the internet, will the MS icon still update? Or is there some assumption in your script that "we" are always connected?

BTW, I installed PhatPhinger IV. The switch from MS to WP is much better. Of course, I'll have to tweak you layout to my particular needs; then it'll be perfect .

Thanks.
