Just today, I recently created what the satellite background should've looked like after the IntelliStar was revamped on October 23, 2007.


With that being said, here's my take on the Three-Day satellite forecast.

Thanks!

I wonder what this background would look like with the other icons sets?

Just yesterday as I was chatting with Victor, another idea popped in my head: What if the existing WeatherStar 4000 units finally have a BETA update to match the current look of The Weather Channel? Not like it's gonna happen in a million years, but I think it would be cool.

Utilizing the WeatherStar 4000 Fonts and Icons provided by TWC Classics, the Backgrounds provided by Microsoft PowerPoint, and the current TWC logo, here's a screenshot of what it looks like:



I'll soon be posting a PowerPoint presentation of the WeatherStar 4000 BETA Update in a day or 2.

Yep I really enjoyed that concept. I doubt TWC will ever update their 4000s.

Nice. Reminds me of what TWN's 4000 looked like.

Just for the heck of it, I've created the Degradation version of the WeatherStar 4000 BETA update. Same procedures as from the last post.

As requested by a member of TWC Classics, here's the AM/PM XL Icons set.

http://rapidshare.com/files/159019372/AM-PM_XL_Icons.zip.html

If there's anything I left out or any improvements I need to make, let me know and I'll send a more revised ZIP folder.

Dang, I was totally going to do that exact same thing with my satellite LFs. :faint: Now everyone will think I copied you if I decide to post it publicly. :itsok:

Well, as long as you give credit to Martin for the fonts, templates/backgrounds, and me for putting that together, you'll be OK.

BTW, thanks for the WS4000 Radar map. Makes a nice edition to my WS4000 BETA concept.

Today, I did some tweaking on the WeatherStar 4000 BETA concept.

http://rapidshare.com/files/159227151/WeatherStar_4000_BETA.ppt.html

The only changes made are:

 - Time and Date flipped (correction)
 - Added WS4000 Radar Map (cropped to show the North Texas area)
 - The "Incomplete Data" box is lighter.


- All known material is owned by TWC
- The fonts and icons are provided by TWC Classics
- The WS4000 Radar map is provided by LFMusicFan
- The Regional Basemaps are from Google Earth
