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.)

 Talk about a "long-winded" topic.

@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

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.

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?

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