    Well let the fun begin. I decided to tackle the task of making this set myself.
    Blast, i downloaded the greyworld xxl v2 from bell share, zipped it up and then unzipped it to my computer. Now all i have to do is open each icon up in photoshop delete the image and replace it with text and then just save the file exactly how it was essentially replacing the old icon right?

    also what should i do for icons with the moon? just delete those since i dont need the moon since it is just text?

    hehehe, well the text icons got me brain juices flowing so i fired up photoshop and started playing around. This is somewhat i had in mind. Attachment 82100
    This is a quick sample and you cant tell but the grey is actually a black that is transparent so it looks better in photoshop, also i think a drop shadow on the text would make it pop a little more.

    *edit* haha okay this is more what i had in mind. The grey in this is also black with a transparency, and the text has a drop shadow on this, the transparency is also rounded for a more polished look.
    Attachment 82101 Just text alone without the background would look really cool on a plain background as well.
    I suggest leaving the moon phases "as is". They'll be there when someone wants to see them. And if anyone DOESN'T want to see them, they don't have to. And some people REALLY like having them LOL

    Yea i was planning on leaving the phases as is, but i was wondering what to do for the icons at night. for example mostlysunnny a pic of mostly sunny and then there is another file named mostlysunnyn which is the same image but instead of a sun its a moon. for the text icon should i just make that mostly sunny as well?

    The word "clear" would do the trick, for clear night conditions. The file name is just the way the weather service wants to see it in the set.
    For other night conditions, use another way to describe the condition without using the word "sunny"

    Blast im getting a little confused. Im talking about the same conditions but one icon is for day the other is night. here is an example of what im talking about [ATTACH]Attachment 82109[/ATTACH] what should i name the icon at night?
    The partly sunny text was what i changed for the day icon, should i just name the night icon the same thing with maybe (N) to tell that its at night?

    I understand what you mean. The NAMES of the files have to be exactly the same as they are now. All you're doing is replacing a picture with a brief textual description of what the picture is showing...the file names stay unchaged.

    yea im not changing the names of the file. I guess im just asking for your opinion on what i should name the actual icons to be seen for the night version of the conditions?

    You're only really limited by you're imagination (and the size of the tile LOL). You don't neccessarily HAVE to have a night designation. Since you have PS, you could just add a star in the corner of the tile, for instance. Or maybe the words "night sky" on the tile somehow.

    well i screwed somthing up lol. I got done renaming all of them. I think right clicked the folder where all the icons were and zipped the folder. I then sent the folder to my email saved it under the berryweather folder on my media card. I then went to the file and renamed the extension to .bwi. I went to apply it, and all i get is red umbrellas now lol. Any help blast?

    this is a step i didnt really understand, what does that mean.
    5. Zip the file. Make sure the files are in the root directory of the Zip file

    The problem is, you zipped the folder. Remember when you unzipped the original set, the icons were not in a folder in the original zip. You have to create a zip file with nothing in it. Then copy the files INTO the newly created zip. That puts the files into the root directory of the zip

    This is a preliminary set I just finished. The icons need resizing that I can't perform on my BB. But, ba said he'd do that simple task for me. Let me know what you think...

    Here they are at the "medium" size. And on on a busier background. Some folks will want a larger font, I know. But you lose a lot of space, very quickly, with even a small increase in font size. And I like it, a bit more descriptive LOL

    It looks great! I see you went with a clear tile. It looks good with that theme. Just check for typos. That should clear up the na's.
