Intellistar- Do you like the current version?

[wxntrafficfan]

I am just curious which version is favored the most. I am definitely going to have to say 8/15/05-12/12/06 is my personal favorite. I HATE the current intellistar. The new icons are horrible and ugly-looking. The background has no transitions and looks like a colored pencil drawing. The graphic on the text based forecast is a joke, with goofy unnecessary sound effects added.
Just my 2¢

I agree 100% Socool, i miss those Old Icons so much! they really need to bring them back.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to start a petition.......   
I am going down to the ATL in August. 
What do you think?

Personally, I enjoy the new icons because they are more realistic...the version 2 of the new ones are better because you can see what the condition is no matter what the background is versus when they were debuted and you couldn't.  I also like the 06/07 background because it was vibrant while not looking like a generic background.  I will agree, though, that the new backgrounds and banners are like a 3rd grader colored something in paint.  In defense of my vote, though, I still really like the original 4000 icons as well as the previous icons to the current ones.  Maybe they'll add transitions soon...or perhaps just get rid of the current design and make it more appealing...

I like the previous version with the sun bg that the XL v3 uses even with the IS icons since they have grown on me except for a couple of them that stills looks ugly. The original version was ok,but it reminded me to much of the XL v2, and the current one is just plain crappy nothing else to it, I really wish they would change the graphics now.

Why? It is shocking and quite frankly, appaulling that so many people like the current icons 

[toxictwister00]

I don't like the modified IS icons used on TWC's website or the Desktop Weather program, but the actual IS icons are not that bad, I like the Thunderstorm, Rain/Heavy Rain, and the snow ones the most, I hate the drizzle/showers/light rain ones they still look like light snow at times.

I miss the old icons, too. But, you have to keep in mind that they couldn't keep them forever because the look would go stale. Eight years was a long time. I do like the early IS, but as long as the STAR I have can give me weather information and data, that's all I care about.

Current version is good, but my "golden age" era of the IntelliStar would be 2005-2006.

I agree with the last part of that sentence, but the current version is good?

I will say that the current icons aren't as bad as they COULD be...I mean, Accu-Weather has some of the worst icons available for television weather systems.  Some actually look like a clown threw up on the screen.

My favorite versions in no. order are v1, v1.5 (with the old icons) and v2(current version). The current version is OK, but the only problem I has with is the sound effects (too disctracting, escpially the wind guster thing).

Somehow I was only aware of two versions of the IS.
