Please add commands to the font generation scripts to generate 38x38 icons into
drawable-hdpi for the white and black skins (these are ideal btw). Also
consider replacing Liberation-Sans-Bold with the DroidSans-Bold.ttf font found
on your phone in /system/fonts (this is the same font used for the clock).
Matching the font size with the clock would make it look just perfect. Thnx!
Great job for the rest of the app!!

Here are the modified icon generation scripts which also generate icons for
hdpi devices (tested, working). Only thing left is to do a higher res status
icon. The source .svg has a little bit too narow lines so they dont look as
good. Maybe draw up something similar to this set:

to it :) (I'm currently too busy but will post if I make something).
black-text skin: http://pastebin.com/kq81N6JV
white-text skin: http://pastebin.com/9yzPPVzk
(before use, install the DroidSans-Bold font onto your system)
the text size should ideally be 22 points but has problems with clipping the
degree symbol for temperatures >99

Thanks a lot.
I'll update icons in the next release I'm currently working on. It'll add
support of skins for the weather notifications. So, the large iconsets will be
separated from the main app, and can be installed on SD card. And 3rd-party
developers can write more beautiful skins :)
I can buy an icon from iconsberlin.com. I can spend 1 euro for the great icon.
How about the second, with Sun over raining cloud? :)

Ops, 2,50 € per icon

No problem, glad to help :)
I don't think buying the icons is worth the 2,5€ :S I'd rather draw them
myself (no disrespect for the author but I'm familiar with Inkscape and
Photoshop vector drawing so it's not a problem :)). I like the white/gray style
because it fits elegantly to the rest of the gingerbread system icons so I'll
probably draw them like that. Might find the time to do it today/tomorrow.
Work on the program/skinning is great! I just recommend you don't overbloat it,
the current features are just fine, nice and minimal but functional :) Just
maybe, if it's possible add a "last refresh time" in the notification view
(possibly in the same row as the "current condition" text, right justified with
a normal (non bold) font. To fit the string you can use fuzzy relative time
like: "now" if time delta <15min, "15 min ago", "30 min ago" etc

This is the layout file with the update time added but I can't seem to get it
to work, added a case statement for update_time to RemoteWeatherLayout.java,
the skin force closes with this :(

Fuzzy update time would not work with the current way things are handled since
it would require more frequent viewBinds which would just add overhead.
