Journal Bar Weather Icons

[Stephen Beesley]

I just installed the latest version of Journal Bar (2.0.4) on my Jornada and am intrigued by the new ability to skin the weather icons. Since trying the demo of weather panel I have been seriously disappointed with the standard icons in Journal Bar (the Weather Panel icons are much better). But now that I have the opportunity to skin ghe Journal Bar Icons I hope to do something about this disappointment :D.

The only thing is I have no idea where I can find suitable weather icons to use for my skinning test. The Omega One support faq tells me that the icons (26 in total) must be 26x26 pixels in size and in need to be included in one larger bitmap image 676x26 pixels in size.

Anybody have any idea where I might find some suitable icons that I could modify for this purpose?

Check out this thread (http://www.wormholecreations.com.au/wc/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1870&start=1) on icons for JB 2.04 (or higher).

This (http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/trivia/weather-icons.html) might be a good starting point.

Wow, I didn't even realize Journal Bar 2.04 supported skinning! Hopefully Juni will port over those icons used in weatherpanel to Journal Bar pretty soon.. :)

I can't, I sold them to marsware ;). I didn't know you could skin journal bar either. Has the problem with JB slowing down and stealing resources been resolved?

Aww! They look sooooo good too! :)

I believe that problem has been resolved with 2.03-4, which came out about a month ago. Things seem nice, stable, and memory friendly now!

Thanks for the pointers guys - now to try my hand at this skinning game....

OK, people requested icons for journal bar. I did a weather.com conversion:

Here are the icons :):

But I noticed something while trying out journal bar again - it still uses the connection manager even when you tell it not to. This causes something very annoying: When browsing in PIE and going to the favorites and scrolling down the list - suddenly the screen will refresh and go back to the top of the list. This didn't happen before installing Journal Bar. So it hasn't been fixed. :(

Awesome! Thanks Juni!
