Time for some long needed modified icons! Made with Photoshop and a good deal of the Eraser brush.
AM Clouds PM Sun v2 and AM T-Storms were actually seen on a STAR - the AM T-Storms is in the Screenshots section of TWCT (it's in the Extended Forecast).
-
Awesome to see another person who has Photoshop. :D
I love them. :thumbsup:
-
- Freezing Rain/Sleet: Added the ICY indicator on all other Freezing Rain icons.
- Light Wintry Mix: The rows of precip were horribly aligned. This seems to be a modified icon originally, but from who I don't know.
- Partly Stormy: My own creation. A forecast indicator that indicates storms rolling in, but fair weather conditions still existing.
- Heavy Rain and Windy/Heavy Snow and Windy: These were not in my packages! Heavy Snow and Windy existed, but did not have a Windy indicator.
- Scattered Rain: I happened to find in my Samurize pack (128x128, thus the need for a remake) a Scattered Rain icon, but it used the Heavy Rain 8-line icon for the rain. Day and night variants.
- Storm Cloud: A resource for icon makers. It's the same shape as the cloud in the Partly Cloudy icon (thus the really snug fit for Partly Stormy).
- Blowing Snow Alt: My Samurize pack also had this. It's not mine, and it's 128x128, but it has a fifth snowflake that seems to be missing from the traditional XL pack.
- Freezing Rain with Thunder: Explains itself.
-
Amazing job! Love the ideas you put on these! :twothumbs:
-
Awesome job on those icon ideas. I think I'll use your corrected "Light Wintry Mix" one from here on out.
Welcome to the modified icons team.
-
Nighttime Partly Stormy, in two flavors.
----
Shock: Michael's requested icons from me, not me from him. The dust in these is a brush.----Mostly Stormy icons. Not particularly hard to make.
-
Very Good! 20/10 :clap: :clap:
-
Sleet and Snow with Thunder, in two variations.
Also modified Clearing and new Clouds Late icons with heavy TWN influence.
-
New stuff in the icon pipe...
-
Improved Blowing Dust icons:
(the blowing dust layer is from the NBCU icons, which were taken from a guy in Poland!)
-
I must say I'm quite impressed with your icon creations. Keep up the good work!
-
Thanks for the comment.
-
Corrections to the AM Storms icons.
-
Nice job! I even like the dust icons.
-
Yes, these are amazing!!
-
You made XL/InteliStar icons like the 97-01 PMX icons but in Canada we called the clouds late icon the clouding over icon i am working on a ISTAR emulation with those icons.
-
Excellent job, Raymie! B)
-
Ah...Clouds Late is a better descriptor to me and actually has been used on TWC.

I am proud to announce QuickCast, my set of 89+2 weather icons for all applications.
What's great about QuickCast?
It has legibility. I've outsmarted The Weather Channel by making icons in a flat style that also are easy to read.
They're scalable. The default size of QuickCast icons is 160x160, much larger than most icon sets (128x128).
There's 89+2 of them. I went through my XL icon and other icon set collections to create a comprehensive package that trumps even respected icon sets like the IntelliStar 2006 package - including modified icons.
What's the +2? The 90th icon in QuickCast is a No Data icon. Like the other 90 icons, it visibly communicates the lack of data, with a greyscaled sun and the words "No Data" at the bottom. The 91st, "Weather Alert", indicates an active weather alert.
It's even so comprehensive that most weather.com-compliant icon sets for Samurize only have 42 unique icons. Over half of the icons in QuickCast aren't even used for weather plugins!
QuickCast. Weather icons you can always turn to.
If you are interested in viewing a sample, hop over to The Weather Channel Reimagined. If you want to order the full set of 91 QuickCast icons, contact me and I will send you each icon in 160x160 PNG format.

Cool Raymie!

Fiesta Sol is the first expansion to QuickCast.
What's new?
*AM and PM icon variants and PM Clouds, bringing it up to 101 icons
*A modified AM Clouds/PM Sun icon
Fiesta Sol will be available on its own for those with the latest version of QuickCast.
-
An XL icon I was waiting to make. AM Fog PM Clouds, in a variant with text (as on the LDL) and without (as seen on the XL).
Fiesta Sol is about done, and it will also have some new weather conditions like Tornadic Activity and Blowing Dust/Thunder.
-
Fiesta Sol for QuickCast.
-The first package is a download-it-yourself version with both the primary and Fiesta Sol packages.
-The second package contains only the Fiesta Sol package.
107 icons are in QuickCast Complete and 17 in Fiesta Sol only.
-
Very impressive. Thanks for the icon sets! :thumbsup:
-
WOw, these are insane! Thanks so much, Raymie! :) Very good work on AM Fog PM Clouds.
-
Raymie, amazing work. :biggrin:
-
I'm thinking that this pack might be called Weather Center XL now instead of the already-used QuickCast.
-
As well Weather Center XL does not look the XL icons

wait.... what? :blink: :blink:

It's a play off my inspiration and the fact that it really is "very large".
-
These are great, Raymie! Amazing job! B)

Try if you can make any PMX icons.

Try if you can make any PMX icons.
Here's an idea. Make your own icons.

Well I don't have Photoshop.

Well I don't have Photoshop.
Pity. Stop asking then.

sunlightreport, you will seriously have to stop demanding things from people. I still haven't heard "please" from you. Ever. And we're not Mom that will make a snack every time you say, "Mom, I need a snack."
Maybe if you said "please" you would not get one of these responses every time you ask for something. And possibly you might get the icons. <_<

Do you have GIMP?
You can create icons from there as well.

sunlightreport, take your arguing out of my thread. It's gone way off topic.
