Sorry...I was out of the house all day...ripping down wallpaper @ a friends house...I'm NEVER doing that again. So sorry for the delay....

Yes, I am using the animated icons. That's why the icon file is SO HUGE. I'm actually using the continuous or looping icons...he has an alternative download for this single play animations that may be a little bit smaller file wise...I haven't tried it.

I have never posted to this sight but have been a member for quite some time, I just can't help myself this time I am so overwhelmed with joy. I lived and died by weatherpanel and was in mourning these past few days, everybody involved with the fix is, BAR NONE THE GREATEST! Thanks so much to tcbusch and storyr for all your guys work. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!

Storyr (of tcbusch if dll), is there an easy way to modify the phatfinger themes to just display 5 days of weather instead of the 10 where applicable (or change the dll to get 10 days)? Thanks for all of the work.

tcbusch, storyr - I've already clicked "thanks", but just had to post a note of appreciation for all the heroic work you have done to keep WP alive and behaving well. You guys amaze me with what you are able to do despite of the lack of access to source code.

Thanks a million!

It would be an extension of the current fix.

One note - most of the weather data providers have TOS similar to TWC..

Actually, I received a PM from Weatherbug. They invited us to use their XML feed. The interface might be challenging but could help the cause.

Since we're all customizing stuff...

This goes out to anyone using Default-Radar.wpl Layout.
I'm a former meteorology major, so I like to have my most critical stats on the front display.

I've added Dewpoint, Heat Index and UV Index to the main screen where that blank spot was.

You can download the wpl file and place it in your "/Program Files/MarsWare/WeatherPanel/Themes/Default" folder. Then select under the display and layout sections.

I've also included a sample screen.

Enjoy.

Hey...Nice work!! Check out these links for the new WP program that is being developed so the WeatherPanel/Weather.com issues will hopefully go away. Those guys would like your ideas/changes. If you can help it would be great too....
