Here's also a clip of the new icons...the cloudy icons look the same to me?
They will animate differently
The icons still don't animate on satellite. :no:

I really want to see these icons animated. :yes: I'm assuming this will only happen on the IS...someone please post a video, because I don't have an IS. :(

Also, interesting new title banners as well. They're not that different but more "condensed." :yes:

Sure thing Andy! i'll have one up early bird

So, you mean TWC is trashing the their GOOD animated icons for some web-friendly ones? Sheesh, if they're doing that just bring the XL ones back... :hammer: This is just crazy. Talk about stepping down a couple of generations.

The icons are too unrealistic, and the suns and moons also look too close to each other.

The previous set sucked as far as precip icons went, but these aren't much better.

I'm going to have to wait until I see the icons in their full high-resolution, animated glory on the IntelliStar.

The rain icons really look a mess. Those are the only ones that really bother me because they are too cartoony to me the other ones are ok like I said earlier. Also is it me or does the sun icons remind anyone of the sun 4000 icons they used on the Sat LF during that timeperiod?

My small dilemma with these icons is that with my super improved vision, I can't tell which icons are rain and snow. But still, it doesn't bother me.

These icons are terrible. Most of them look tha same and the sun icons looks like a ball of cheese. only icon worth looking at is the thunderstorm icon but eventually I'll warm up to these

Thanks! :D I don't know when the icons will be updated, but I'll be interested to see the animation.

As was mentioned earlier, I'm assuming these icons are "scaled" better. :yes: That is definetely something TWC needed to do with the icons. :thumbsup:

The precip icons are fine. If they kept the suns the way they were instead of turning them into little cheese puffs, I'd be much more satisfied with the icons.

I don't think the icons look that bad (except for that sun..)

Question--- when will these changes take place tomorrow?  Morning? Afternoon?
