New Intellistar version?

[TWCToday]

When the HD Star rolls out, will it run alongside an exisiting IS?  If that's the case, do you think the IS would get a new look to the LOT8 to match whatever the HD Star looks like?

Yes and no

[Pop Light Brown]

If they can roll out the new LDL, the least they can do is change the darn fonts on the rest of the LF to match the on-air fonts.

While on the subject of fonts, maybe they could make them so that they are user-friendly- the forecast title/CC site name(s), the numbers, and the forecast data on the text based are all black. This was one reason I prefered the previous background the Intellistar had.

dark font on a light background... can't get much more user friendly than that. The contrast is also there for eyesight impaired viewers too.

Not exactly what I was referring to, Jesse.

I still have no clue why they went with that theme for the new ldl.

What did you mean?

Well here's what I meant. As Jesse said, yeah, you can clearly see that the text is there, being that the text is black and it's on a faint blue/white background. But that's where the user-friendliness stops. It's all black. Even I (being someone who notices even the slightest of details) inadvertently pass my eye over everything from time to time. In the old days, you had the forecast title/CC site name/almanac title in yellow, with all other numbers/text in white.

So what color do you want them to make it? Most colors won't look good with the current design.

Maybe it's just me, but although I do miss the old version, I can read everything just fine on the current version.

Yes, that's the reason they changed it to black - because it was easy to read. They got tons and tons of complaints that the blue on blue was too difficult to read.

HOT PINK! Problem solved. Thank me later TWC

Lol, I think I'd want to make a date with the Intellistar if it were that color.

lol hot pink

Well, I will be getting a little off topic on the font part, but I personally think that they can redesign the LF to correspond with the new LDL bar. I wouldn't have any problems with a graphic set upgrade, but the current version is fine. I'd just like to see them push the units hardware even more, and I know it is possible. I would say, however, I do not like the header which is white over white (Or if my mind is in a cruise right now) black over white is fine. The contrast levels with the white and white/light blue hurts my eyes.

But basicly I think that TWC should go ahead and redesign the LF template. Hey, it wouldn't hurt. But I am also ok with the current version

It actually is being pushed quite a bit at the moment. I do wish the ldl matched the on air designs more than anything  really. It still is a strange match with graphics packages varying widely over each product.
