They were in a file posted briefly here a while back, but are no longer available.

The IntelliStar files were removed from the forum due to the potential risk of copyright, so don't expect to get ahold of them. Sorry.

But you can still try and make your own. :) You can perhaps make your own concept.

On the site, I have some snapshots of what I have been able to create so far. Anyone have a opinion on them?

The graphics and pictures are quite nice.  The "UNK" looks extremely awkward.  Either leaving a field blank or, at most, putting "N/A" would make more sense, I think.  The Stars generally leave a field blank if there's no information for it, unless a whole product is unavailable, in which case a notification of that is displayed.  Also, the font needs work.  It seems much too large in places, such as the local forecast and ESPECIALLY the 4-city observations page.  And the font itself doesn't seem to match the beautiful backgrounds you have it on - it's a rather blocky and extraordinarily plain helvetica font.

That's a bug I am working on. Sometimes randomly also, it will not draw/make appear and of the locations etc, So I have to find the source of that issue.

Ah, the font. That's a royal pain for me. I am working toward recreating the fonts from intelliStar, or make the fonts I am using look more like the intelliStar.
Thanks for you feed back! :D

I'm back! lol! Anyway: I want to know if anyone here is good at developing graphics. Or knows where I can get the new intellistar icons. I have the '2006-2009' icons, but I want the new ones. Anyone know where I can get them? Or someone know who can develop them?

Also, anyone know a good forecast feed / cc feed? TWC stopped providing the XML feed I was implementing, so I am going to need a new one.

--So yea, those are my 2 questions--

 :biggrin: Thanks! :biggrin:
