The file WeatherIcons.dll contains all of the icons. I, or someone else, would need to make another set. If I can get this thing refreshing reliably, I'll produce some more sets. Granted, as I've stated before, MS won't display partial transparency in the icons, so I've built them with backgrounds...
Thanks again storyr! I'm not real familiar with skinning MS, so I can deal with it. But, if I do find someone who I can talk into it (or if I get more familiar with it), I assume the since I can't make the icons larger, I would be able to replace them with larger icons (like in the second part of the above post) and that would take care of it.

I think the spacing / size issue is because I am on WQVGA.

Also, just an FYI - I'm not having any refresh issues.
