I like the background (if it has some transparency).  If you are able to program the LDL background to have some transparency, then I say go for it.  If not, just text is fine.  If it's possible, I think it would be cool to have a yellow background and a red background (i.e. yellow for t-storm watch/warning, red for tornado watch/warning) to pop up when an alert is issued). 

Will it be possible to display local alerts?  That would be sweet.

currently, i have the ldl working again. right now i have it being displayed on a blue-cloud background.
in regard to local warnings, the answer is that it def. works with them. theres a 3rd party program that ingests messages put out from the NWS, and instantly relays them to Weatherscan. This has always worked, even with the current public release, however when i build the next public release (hopefully soon), the alert add-on will be installed. in regard to the message ingester, instructions will follow too!

the above beta isn't the current release (wayy before even the one thats being used publically), i am trying to figure out how the LDL should be displayed. the beta's LDL in the video is how it looked in the past, and I am fishing for opinions.. Weatherscan Local never had a LDL, but the regular StarXL did..

Weatherscan Local - Update Demonstration - 7/10/2010

heres a video showcasing the 2 of the 3 updates. 1: adjusted font size on the 36 hour forecast product. shorter text length enlarges the font size, while longer text makes it smaller (the current size used in the public release) 2. font size increased in the extended forecast product for the weather condition icon text. 3. bulletin page added, which isn't seen in this video.

it seems somehow your system is enlarging the fonts out of place.. i cant think of any suggestions because i havnt ran into this problem before. only possible thing i can think of is you have some kinda accessibility capability turned on which is enlarging the fonts..

General Discussion / History Will Be Made - NHL Theme Music

« on: June 06, 2010, 08:52:08 AM »

hey guys,
this one i have been wondering for a couple weeks.. the NHL has made this series of videos showing an epic play usually done inside the stanley cup, played in reverse to a piano track. i have looked high and low trying to figure out who makes that track, while answers online yeild that the track is made specifically for the NHL. while kinda doubt that the track was made specifically for the NHL, I am sure its on some production music library (one that im not familiar with myself). i will show you how i believe the track is not specifically made for the NHL by linking a NHL clip, and a fan made, while the fan made clip's audio track is longer in length.

Fan:

history will be made "Guy Lafleur"

NHL:
