IntelliSTAR v2 minor update
« on: February 07, 2008, 06:57:09 AM »
Apparently, the IS was sent an update sometime last night or early this morning, because this morning, I noticed all the text (except for the title bar and the map text) has been changed from blue to black, making it easier to read the text. Anyone else notice this update on their IntelliSTARs?

I liked the blue text. It matched a lot better with the rest of the graphics. I didn't have a problem seeing it.

If only they could replace the radar maps. The radar is getting quite old

The black text... it's just tough to get used to it. I personally liked the blue text better  :(

I don't understand why they decided to change the font color black first. There are many other much more important issues that need to be fixed, such as the lack of drop shadows on the radar and forecast maps, and the issue with the NWS logo flying on the weather bulletin screen.

If the color settings on your TV were set correctly, the whole presentation looked perfectly fine. it was not hard on the eyes at all, nor was the blue text hard to read.

Flying NWS logo?

BTW, I honestly do not like the new IS look.. I prefer the old blue background and boxes, this new update is a great advancement but I personally have preference on the older look.

Watch how the NOAA logo and "The National Weather Service" text flies in and out on the Weather Bulletins screen:

Agreed. The new look is more modern, but is too bright. My favorite version of the IntelliStar graphicswise is from 2005-2006, and 2004-2005 product and flavorwise.
