Minor IntelliStar LDL Update
« on: September 03, 2008, 06:11:30 AM »
Looks like we have another minor LDL update on the IntelliStar. The ad crawl has been extended to the far right part of the screen, and the font has been enlarged. Also, the font of the clock is a bit larger, matching the temperature font.

Edit: The drop shadow has returned to behind the TWC logo, too.

Like the font updates, but the extended crawl looks bad.  It could have stayed where it was and still looked really good.

Personally, I like the previous Traffic/Ad crawl size as well.

Could this be a breakthrough for the Warning LDLs?

Yeah I agree about the crawl going all the way to the right of the screen. I think that "weather.com" address should stay below the logo the whole time the LDL is shown.

I agree. It looked pretty cool before. But like everything, TWC has to ruin a good thing.

A little bird told me that advertising companies using the LAS complained about weather.com being next to their crawl, as well as the crawl area not being large enough.  :innocent:

The traffic crawl seems to go slower now, and I'm not a fan of that. :hmm:

Do you have any idea if they will be revamping the warning crawls on the LDL.. it seems so weird that they would update the rest but not that. D:

I'm told "it's planned." However, the HD Star takes total priority right now.
