The current version is ugly... it's that simple. It doesn't match the current on-air look. Needs a definite makeover.

Is there any talk of a makeover in the next 1-2 years? I couldn't agree more, in that I hate it- no personality or work put into it.

From what I heard, not till the HD LF rolls out, which isn't anytime soon. Of course Tyler can confirm on any updates...

Doesn't match the current on air grahpics? Heck it didn't match the pre-HD graphics when this version came out 2 years ago either.

The intellistar never matched the on-air graphics during its six year run. Before this version, it used title bars from the 2001-2003 era. What's even more strange is that it debuted nationwide months after that era ended. :wacko: And I'll never understand why they made the outdated XL look like the on-air graphics in 2005 when the only change they made to the intellistar was the background and logo - still keeping those old title bars for another two years. Sometimes TWC comes up with the strangest ideas...

Definitely the first version. It was more pleasing to the eyes. Recent versions have moved to bright  backgrounds, small weather icons, and complicated maps (making them hard to read).

I always thought the first version was just a cheap knockoff of the XL v2 with the background and the titlebars, etc. I actually confused it for the XL when it first debuted.

You misunderstood me. I still like the IntelliStar - it's the look I don't like.

I once thought about that too. At first, I orginally thought that the XL got a major upgrade back in March 2004 when the IntelliSTAR first came out, but I later found out that it turned out to be a whole new WeatherSTAR.

The Current Version is ok, but if TWC used the Templates from before the update with the current backgrounds it would look perfect 

Intellistar before update


Perfect Example is during the Marine Forecast
