Thanks for the post. Yeah I know 10day forecasts change frequently and are hard to remember, thus a great reason to have them readily available via your SBs! I find them useful for weekend planning, but it is frustrating how often they change or are just completely wrong even when they're only one day away! I've got a lot on my plate right now and it's hard to get motivated with the weather warming up, but when I get into another SDT development spurt I'll look into adding some sort of top line rotating functionality. -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14327 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
