Title: NEW: Weather
Post by: JimH on October 27, 2011, 06:49:26 pm

MC17.0.24 has a new weather feature for Theater View.  This build will be available in a few days.

This has been a single station display with data from weather.com.  Now it allows three stations and the data can be retrieved from weather.com, Google, or NOAA (U.S. government).

Here's a screenshot:

Thank you!

Small suggestion, if its not already the case, have the background image reflect the current conditions for the currently selected location.

Also... it'd be nice to be able to drop the current (not forecast) weather for the primary location on to the Theater View home screen somewhere...

Yeah, if the weather were floating above the text links for Audio, Video, et al. it might darn well turn into something I found useful.  :D

Oooh, I'd be all for having a persistent position of the clock and just the temperature (maybe an icon for rain/sun/etc) on all Theater View screens.  I  might have to fire up MSPaint.  Muaahaahaahaaa (evil laugh)
