I pray to God they revise the Weekly Planner layout. It's garbage. However, the rest of the system looks spectacular.

It would be nice to see those Titlebars updated on the SD Satellite LF.

On the Weekly Planner, I really don't get why TWC has to "jazz up the graphics" with un-needed accesories.

I like Tru Vu Max, but that weekly planner does the system no justice. They should go back the using VIZRT for the weekly planner. Why did they only use it on WC first?

Here are some of my thoughts on the new graphics:

1. The new title bars are really nice...big and clear
2. The Tru Vu Radars are very vivid and look excellent!
3. TWC really messed up the Weekly Planner, though. As Tyler said, they don't need city names and conditions blocking up half the map, and they need to be consistent (i.e. sometimes they'll show weather then highs and sometimes they'll put the high temps. on the condition map which looks weird).

Wow, so that emergency radar they were using back on January 26th was Truvu max!

Have they been using VIZ since the launch? I haven't seen it. I also notice that when the elements animated while the map is still moving/closing in, it lags/freezes for a brief second. They need to fix that.

OT, but why do we have two topics on the new graphics? One in Programming and Graphics and one in General TWC Discussion. It's confusing me. :wacko:

Well there were new graphics/maps introduced at two different times. I went ahead and just merged them
