scarfa,
i have to tell you...
i went to your git version, and they still aren't there...?
could it be a file naming issue? case sensitive on the AppleTV 2.
edit:
interesting... i switched my language from English -> English (US), and now the icons appear...

peace Scarfa,
I appreciate the "hide date" function.
I'm speaking merely cosmetically -- wondering if you meant to leave the two bars (||) there. Or should there just be one bar (|) to then separate the weather (if there is weather) from the time. So, i guess on some screens, there should be no bars.

just updated to Eden Beta 3, and weather plus icons are not showing up...
not sure if it's a skin, or weather plus...
i haven't seen anything about this in the weather plus forum... so i thought i'd start here.
it's just the main icon -- the one on the home menu under general, and the main icon on the weather screen.
if i go into weather, i still get the animated icons on the selected days (weekend, 10 days, hourly, etc.)
so that's what makes me think it's something that might have changed the way this particular item is selected.
also, the conditions background has ceased to work.
other than that... the weather plus feature does work.
Okay...
so after going through and playing with settings, everything seems to be caught up.
I basically went through NOAA, and made sure everything was working with that provider. then i switched back to weather.com, and everything works: animated icons, and condition based backgrounds.
guess sometimes you just need a little patience. :-)

I had a quick question regarding recent skin updates. The last time i downloaded the rapier skin was from the main page link for rapier rc1. After that i see all these changes being talked about, but no no new link. A few days ago though on xbmc i did see a popup saying rapier skin updated. Does this mean that now xbmc is taking care of skin updates that scarfa is committing as part of the addons? Or was that update some fluke and i should go to the jrapier skin code page and download latest version? Sorry im not sure about git and all these different things, if thats only for people downloading the source code or if thats where i can also go download the latest verison.

The Git link in the 1st post, gives you all the latest updates of Rapier. You can download the updated skin also from Xbmc passion too under the addon section too, if you find Git too dificult.

Delete Rapier RC1 first, then either install the passion repo, and then download rapier from the skins section or manually download the skin from xbmc passion. The xbmc passion repo will automatically update the skin whenever updates are pushed in Xbmc passion. Personally, I prefer GIT as Scarfa pushes all the updates there first and then they get incorporated later in Xbmc passion.

Scarfa, a small note on the skin and the now playing window. I noticed that when playing music i basically see the artist, album, and below that "no descriptiom found" (the now playing window). Ive played lots of songs and it always says no desc found Im thinking having a space for description is a bit redundant when it comes to musuc since as far as i know theres generally no descriotion ever the way you might find it with tv shows or movies. I havent played via normal music files or library mode. Im using the itunes plugin.
Maybe you need to still have a space for description since maybe you cant have a sepaarate now playing window for musuc vs one for videos and thus theres a space for description whether something has a descriptiom or not.. Im not sure about the mechanics of skinning but if thats the case would it be better to basically change the behavior of the descriptor tag so that if theres no description then The tag space for description is empty (no text saying "no description found") and if there is a description then obviously theres a description in that space. This way dependent on how people tag their music or scrapers they use the description is available if neeeded and just blank if not needed.
