let me try.
the TWC supplemental script is a stand alone script. you need to run it to view the info and for the info to update. it is constantly running. it is not related to the plugin.
the plugin runs when ever xbmc updates weather. all it does is set's properties. these properties are available thru out the skin, but skinners need to take advantage of them. it is not a gui.
a skinner can take advantage of them eg as aeon displays info on the home screen. you could have a control that gas <visible>!IsEmpty(Window(Weather).Property(Alerts))</visible> so if an alert for your selected area came up. a button or textbox could pop up on the home screen alerting you of an alert. or it could display the radar of the selected map.
a skinner could do as i did and edit myweather.xml to display all the info. they could choose to display only a few of the views.
read the first thread, there is a link to files that will work as i did when dropped in pmiii. it is not upto date with the 1.0.1 changes, and won't look exactly as the pictures posted, but you have a start.
about xbox. i'm not current with xbox, so i don't know if it has been merged yet.
