Maybe you could give us novices a little help with how exactly to get the new icons to the correct folder. I tried to copy it there in xterm and it wouldn't let me. Here is what I typed after gaining root and navigating to the mmc2 card (internal on n800):

cp 7even /usr/share/omweather/icons/

'7even' is the folder extracted from the 7even.tar.bz2. Do I have to leave it in the .tar.bz2 format? Thanks.

I would also like to know how to add icons there. I get Access Denied when I try.

Why not just get it via Application Manager? That's what I did, and it's so much easier.

No, I'm saying that the liquid weather icons are available in one of the repos, that's how I downloaded mine -- from the App Manager, not using a wget -install from XTerm

This way only for experienced users.
Small instruction. (I do not bear any responsibility)
1. load xterm
2. Change user to root "sudo gainroot"
3. apt-get install wget bzip2
4. Change directory "cd /usr/share/omweather/icons"
5. Download for example POD iconset
'wget "http://www.liquidweather.net/phpmv2/phpmyvisites.php?url=http%3A//mirror1.liquidweather.net/Pod.tar.bz2&id=1&pagename=FILE:Icons%3APod"'
6. Unpack bzip archive "bzip2 -d Pod.tar.bz2"
7. Unpack tar archive "tar xf Pod.tar"
8. Move files from Pod/large_icons directory to Pod directory "mv Pod/large_icons/* Pod"
9. Rename N/A icon "cd Pod;mv na.png 48.png"
10. Change iconset to Pod in OMWeather settings
11. This the end. Good luck

Vlad.

NOAA provides updated information of watches, warnings, and advisories via the RSS. The RSS feed reader (home applet) displays them on the home screen. I have attached screenshots on my page.
