Many users downloaded that plugin and you are the first to complain.
As said I won't bother if you are the only one thinking it looks bad.
In my current world there are more important things than arithmetically
correct images of a sun :D

I realized that they now have URLs in their feeds (which they didn't
have at the time of writing this plugin). 
Anyway - licensing is not as subtle as that.

Just because a website provides content (and links), its not allowed to
just use it (Thats the reason I don't use the sattelite images from the
wunderground main page as well).
And there is a difference between showing stuff in a browser or
downloading it to this device. 
The problem here is, that I wouldn't want do download/show the
files/iconsets on the fly. I had to download them and bundle them so
that they get installed on your Controller/Radio/Touch. 
Copying and redistribution is definitely not allowed (to my knowing)

So again - if you do the downloading stuff yourself, I can provide
instructions on how to embed/use them in the applet. Then you do it on
your own (very low) risk.

I see it the other way round. Its your task to do a poll and convince
me that you are not the only one wanting it :D.
It would be good to make a small sketch on how the distribution of
image/font-areas should look like.

Some other suggestions:
I use the 'Screensafer Switcher' Plugin from erland (I think it was
called this way). I configured it to toggle between the big default
clock and my Weather Screensafer. Thus when sitting away from the
Display I just have to wait say 10seconds in the worst case until the
big clock is displayed.
This was a better solution to me, because I now have the biggest
possible weather display and the biggest possible clock display
together.

You could also have a look at the 'Custom-Clock' applet. It provides
means to also show Weather Data - and is its main-focus was to display
a clock so maybe this this is more what your are searching for.
