TWC Mobile Still Using XL Icons?
« on: January 02, 2010, 11:55:39 PM »
I got a new phone for Christmas and the other day I found something intersting on the "MediaNET" homepage...(MediaNET = the internet for phones). When I scrolled down to "weather" section I realized that the weather icons were none other than the XL icons! Heres a pic of the screen. Sorry about the bad quality, it's a webcam shot.

Yea i think they still use the icons for some things. Most have been replaced though. Guess that isn't a big priority to them

Yahoo! was using modified versions of the XL icons, but I don't think they do anymore since they updated the website.

The weather toolbar still uses the old icons as well. My guess would be that if they haven't been updated by now, they won't be.

They're considered different products, so the new icons aren't a priority (just as with the moon icons on the almanac on the IntelliStar).

The dashboard widget for the Macs also use the old icons, IIRC.

Yes. I stopped using it though because it broke down on me.
