Would be nice if they'd apply the update to the STARs, but I can see how that can be kinda difficult to do so many updates within a matter of days or even hours.

The change: a brighter blue background for the day, temperature, and conditions.

So by my calculation, this is the third version of the small SD national LDL.

This was the first one, if anyone forgot what it looked like:



Notice the steeper angle on the right side of the city tab.

Yea I don't get why they use that logo. Its slightly off from the other one they use. Its just kinda strange they even have two different copies :unsure:

I think someone just got lazy and its not important enough to bother changing it

If only they used a Black background for the icon/temps/conditions on HD and SD satellite LDL's (seen attached) so it would be easier to see the icons and text instead of the blue on blue for rain/thunder, etc.

Just those lows are too hot for me.  The highs... let's just say I'd melt into a big ol' pile of goo.

Actually, I think he's trying to point out the old version of the IS in that picture, not the temperatures.
