Dark blue against a black background doesn't show up very well. Otherwise, it looks very nice. You might try a light blue for better contrast.



Thanks for the input. The color code I'm using now is #000029.. I look at the hex codes to see if I can't find one a little lighter
Made the font bold. What do you think? Yay or Nay?

I think you can read it better, especially the forecast high and low temperatures near the bottom which are in red and blue fonts.

Thanks

Changed blue to lighter shade. Is it easier to see?

Looked at it in both IE9 and FF. Maybe it's my eyes but I can hardly see the blue text in both the header and data itself. I think it needs to be qutie a bit lighter. Others may thing differently...

Yeah, yellow or gold to represent the color of the moon when used with a black background.

I use Weather Display for the cam. There is an overlay setting.

This is definitely possible. I've done it before with cumulus, worked well. Not sure if its possible with other weather software though?

Another idea. At the moment i'm using YawCam to save my webcam image as "webcam-upload.jpg"
I've then got a PHP script set to run every minute which opens the webcam-upload file, reads the temperature off the realtime.txt file, adds that and any other desired text where i've set it as and saves the new picture with text as "webcam.jpg"
The text is much better quality than what I used to get from YawCam.
