This is on my short list of "must have" add-ons!
Thanks for keeping it up-to-date Jeff!

Cheers Jeff.
Quick Q. Can it be installed over an existing version of Weather or is an uninstall recommended?

Thanks Jeff!

Nope.

I have posted a new update at http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/Weather.

The changes are:

• Updated plug-in to download new map types provided by msnbc. Use the blue or yellow buttons on the maps screen to see what they are.
  
• Modified the Add screens to drill down by sate/region if specified by msnbc. If you don’t know the target country very well and want to bypass the state level and jump straight to the city level, press GO (F11) from the country or state screen.
  
• Modified the plug-in to react in real time to skin file changes. This makes creating modified skins easier.
  
• Removed UV Index from default blue skin. This information is no longer being provided by msnbc.
  
• Added the weather panel to the distribution.
  
• Changed fonts used in default blue skin to better match those used by the core gbpvr plug-ins.
  
• Default blue skin now uses baseskin.xlm for button definitions and title text font. Note that this leads to ugly looking results in skins that define very wide default buttons, such as Sassari.
  
• If the current skin doesn’t have a task.png for the weather plug-in and a current forecast is available, the plug-in will use the forecast image as the task image.

Great Update! You even managed to squeeze our big country on a single screen

I'm assuming it's 97x only? I tried to update the other day, but there were a few plugins I couldn't do w/o.

[Jeff]

Yes; 97x only.

I have a bit of a problem, but I don't think it's the plugin's...

I'm in Canada, using Celsius. I have most everything displayed right but the detailed forcast is still showing F. I looked at the site and your plugin gets the info right. That's MSNBC's fault.

Questions: can we use a different source? How receptive is MSNBC to changing their whole web site for me?

Nice plugin. Thanks for 97.x...version
