Beautiful job!

That should be the new L-Bar for the IntelliStars as well. :D

On the "Local on the 8s" Facebook page I pointed out a good half-dozen reasons why the WeatherStar III emulation picture was a BIG fail.  B)

I do know that when the custom BGs for the 3000 failed on TWC's end, it would cue the blue one. :yes:

And abput the LOT8's FB page, I am the runner of it and I created it for people to become fans of it as there were no fan pages for it then. B)

I made that particular image in GIMP, but I use Photoshop 7 now. :)

I have been learning to recently use PowerPoint.

I have developed a PowerPoint XL v2 Emulator :dance:
It comes complete with the fonts I used, intro from apoecker (with permission), and "Native Tongue" courtesy of this site.
A station ID I made is also included (audio courtesy twcclassics.com).
It even comes with a video I made of it in action.

DISCLAIMER: All weather used in the demo video was made up.

Gary, I will remove this if you don't want me using your songs. B)


I will also need 4 More Bet Testers to improve transitions and to make a radar screen.
PM Me if you want to be a Beta tester.


And here's my IntelliSTAR Graphic I made in GIMP. LDL Cortesy Billy Miller (beanboy89).
The colon by Dew Point was a typo.




Here's a link to the emulator: http://files.filefront.com/WeatherSTAR+XL+v2+Emulatotzip/;11709820;/fileinfo.html
Broken link.. none of the other editions work.

If only the WeatherStar 3000s would look like that back then.

Awesome work!

Can you please make me one with Comcast as the cable company, 47 as the channel number, and the code at the top say 022087 - I've got a background attached? And with the same background, please make a slide saying "CALL YOUR FAVORITE NEWSPAPER OR RADIO STATION AND ASK FOR THE WEATHER CHANNEL" without quotes? Background is attached.

Zach, I apologize for being off-topic here, but how were you able to edit another member's post? :thinking:

Your artwork is very good, BTW. :biggrin:
