I tried to change the weather icons as I have always done in the pre Dharma releases by overwriting the weather.zip file under XBMC/media. When I overwrite the file with the realistic weather icons in Dharma Beta 4( have not tried earlier betas) nothing changes. I've searched high and low and am unable to find any information. It appears it is set up different now and I would like any insight in how to change them. Thanks

Ok, I am assuming Windows XP that the weather icons get pull from the ~/XBMC/media/weather.zip file and get written to C:\Documents and Settings\<user id>\Application Data\XBMC\cache\weather folder.
But this must only be happening at install... not sure. It used to dynamically change them if you changed the weather.zip file.
So I over wrote the weather folder under cache with the realistic weather icons and now they show up.
I am not sure if this is the way it should work now or something is broke. Maybe someone can clear this up.

Quick question. Where did you find the new weather icons? I remember seeing the thread some time ago and someone was working on animating them so i held off. but now i can't find the threads no matter how hard i search.
