Broesel,

Your mail arrived. I've tested your solutions on my PocketPc, and:
 everything is working fine now!
Thank you very much for your time and efforts!

I wouldn't ever have searched the problem there: blanks at the end of some textlines...

Thanks again!

Timmy:

 Is there any way you could do things like this?

1)  In temperature, it is possible to have gradient just like the one we have in power and memory, right?

2) In the winds, we can have the number in the center of circle and red point to the direction.  And the text of wind direction at the bottom.  For European, you can put the "Beaufort" meter at the right.

Uk_skinner,

It's a nice new idea!!!  But as I am a very slow skinner, give me some time to think about it. I'll give you the answer later, but it the first sight, I think that there are possibilities for your idea.

There is no gradient for the temperature. The only thing i think we can
have is a horizontal bar with the temperature with the barmeter-command
(if the values for temperature are stored in a variable)

barmeter,<x>,<y>,<width>,<height>,<bar image>,<current value>,<minimum value>,<maximum value>

Nice looking idea :)

Uk_skinner,

• I can make a new sery of winddirectionbackground, as you can see in the atachement. Are there people interested in having them? Please, let me know!

•  Making a gradient pic for temperature isn't very hard to do, but what's hard to do for me is writing the right textlines. About a year ago Broesel had done things like this for the moonsize. I still use the textlines he wrote. So my suggestion is: first someone has to write the right textlines, then I make the right pics.

Hi Timmy,

It seems that you are the "Graphics_Master" !!   Just wondering if you can make a "Wind Speed" image that looks like your wind direction images, but has wind speed numbers, like an Odometer ???

What do you think ??  :D

ZapMe1,

Happily, much things are possible!!! But as I can't look in your head to exactly understand what kind of pic you like: can you , please, post an example pic? Would be easier for me to work in the right direction. So, an example would be appreciated!!!

Well, I'll try my very best, but this will be hard to do, because we can't
have vertical bars for the temperature. Also the range in Celsius will be
hard to code into bars. But i will try to make horizontal bars, don't know,
if that looks good, but we will see ...

Timmy,

My image ability is rough, but something like the pic here:

ZapMe1,

Now I understand what your thougts were!

But at the same time I have two questions for you: isn't the pointer confusing us, as you think automatic about winddirections/compass?!? And the second question: isn't it a aist of the screen space?!? Because there need to be another pic for the direction... I think uk_skinner had a better idea at this point: direction AND windspeed are in ONE pic!

What do you think?

Broesel,

That's OK. I'll make some pics in different colours. I like uk_skinners idea, too.

So this is, what I could do with the temperature-bar.

Don't know, if anybody finds that useful (Well maybe with a better graphic)

See the screenshot ...

Broesel, I like your new pop-up screen layout.  Makes me want to start skinning again. :wink:
