TWC Fan Art / Re: Michael's TWC Fan Art Portfolio
« on: April 11, 2009, 10:04:52 PM »
On Thursday, a dryline has swept through the North Texas area, bringing in some dust from West Texas. Some smoke mingled in with the dust as wildfires break out from Bowie to Southwest of Weatherford. I went and took a few pictures of the hazy conditions and decided to pick this one of the Las Colinas area from the 3rd Floor of my apartment complex.
I then added some elements such as the Yellow Lower Thirds, some icons, and the Black LDL.

We know many of us can customized our weather.com page, but what if we get to choose which icons set to use? This idea comes from the Weather Underground website, where members get to customize their icons from there.
I've screencapped the weather.com website and made 3 different copies (the other 2 I cropped to buttons) and have blanked out the segment from the Navbar down. I then put 8 different versions of the "Partly Cloudy" icon and here's the end result:

Everything Else TWC / Re: The TWC Icons Discussion Thread

Just today, I saw for the first time the "Windy" icon used on weather.com's current conditions section as "Squalls and Windy". The following picture is derived from a TWC weather magnet on my weather website.

Local Forecast / IntelliStar Update - Sound Effects Disabled
« on: March 13, 2009, 02:57:14 PM »
As of March 12, 2009; all IntelliStars no longer have the 36/48 hour forecast sound effects. I was asking the STAR team on TWCC if that was reported an error, and they've told me that they've been disabled throughout all domestic ISs. Don't know for how long though.

Although the current icons set is good, I like the old IS icons better.
