Moon Phanse and sunrise/sunset on Today Screen

Houstonguy · 11-20-05, 06:12 PM

Are there any good add ins that will show moon phase and sunrise/sunset? I like how it appeared on TodayPlus, but the program is too hard to configure, and crashes my X30. I have SBSH Weather and thought I saw a skin that would show this information. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

For moon phases I currently use Phases from:

But I was actually thinking of remaking it as some practice making a today screen plug-in.

Maybe I'll have something, but no promises as of when, could be as early as tonight, or as late as never.

You can do it with WeatherPanel.

I have been using Jonathan Sachs Ephemeris for some time. While it doesn't sit on the Today screen it is still a very nifty tool. To make it even better the price is right (freeware)!

Hi from a former Today Plus user and skinner. Loved the program but I moved on when development stopped.

Ken is being too modest - take a look at Weather Panel and especially his latest skin for the program - it has moon phases, sunrise and sunset, and even real time images of the current moon phase. Jump over to the Marsware forums and be sure to take a look at the Wiki to get an idea of what the program can do. The only down side of WP is that the developer is MIA and no one knows the future of the program. Unfortunately it sort of reminds me of TodayPlus in that way :(
