I did a change to the Style.css file making the "view this forecast at weather.com" link a more visible color.

The gist of it is that it my be off, but not enough for us to reverse the compass in Marmol English South.

I don't know, some people are very particular on how they want the wind displayed.

FYI It is not necessary to include the .html or thumbs.db files. WW creates the .html files and the end user's Windows system the later. Doing so cuts your .zip from 888KB to 703KB

And if you use the WWSSkins.cmd script (in the Forecast folder) you can distribute it as a WWS file which the WW Wizard will install. Just edit the TYPE and SKIN parameters. (Of course it does assume you have WinZIP.)

@barba

The Wind's background image has North America too dark. The Northern Hemisphere blends into the ocean on my desktop machine's LCD monitor.

The Africian continent looks fine for NE winds now though.

How about something along these lines?

Barba,

I agree, the world image is too dark. Ficing it shouldn't be a problem for you.

I e-mailed you with several versions of the skin. The latest copy is at

http://webpages.charter.net/david1970/MarmolEn.zip

About the only thing left that needs improving is the barometer. When you resize the window, it throws off the barometer display. I don't know how to fix it myself.

It's been lots of fun working on this project!

David

P.S. Check out my personal map file at http://webpages.charter.net/david1970/maps.zip
I just added some more links to it.

I just fixed the world image.

It was very easy, all I did was save Ed's image to the Images folder.

The latest verison is at
http://webpages.charter.net/david1970/MarmolEn.zip

All we need to do is to get the barometer perfect.

Ed,

Thanks for the other option, but the alternate world image makes a bad background. The dark globe is a lot more pretty. I also increased the font of the gauge number.

Ed and Barba,

I touched up Afirica to make it look more natural. It looks good!

Download the skin at
http://webpages.charter.net/david1970/MarmolEn.zip

Now the barometer is next.

I'm going to bed.

Try it with black or red digits for wind speed.

You do realize dlbryant that you can edit, and delete even, prior posting yes? ;-)

As for the map, I don't know, I'm kinda growing attached to this one.

Although my shadow is not quite right on it. Where's barba when we need him? :iconbiggrin:

I have a suggestion...since we have real moon images in the skin, let's use a real world image! Just a thought.....
