This is the 3rd or 4th time I thought I fixed that...Back to the drawing board, I guess.
Right now, the Current Conditions, Daily Forecast and Hourly Forecasts are all updated separately with individual http calls to the weather service. I'm not sure why the original developer built it that way in the first place (maybe it was to save on data requirements, in case you only wanted to update one of them?). It has been on my ToDo List, for awhile, to simplify them all into one. From weather.com, Current Conditions is around 2KB of data, Daily Forecast is around 5KB and the Hourly Forecast is around 9KB. I see no reason not to request them all in one single http request. This should hopefully, once and for all and finally kill this darn bug dead.
I'm not sure when I'll get around to it...I am in major need of some sleep...but here's a slightly newer version which does not address the update issue, it has the customizable temperature icon feature (transparency does not work, though). This one has the specialized Storm version compiled, not tested on an actual device yet.

New stuff since v0.91.1
* Fixed a bug that caused some problems when switching back and forth between weather servers
* Added the option to use a custom icon on the homescreen to write the temperatire on top of - Transparency does not really work, though.
In the Options screen, scroll down to "Homescreen Icon" and "Homescreen Rollover." Set one of them to "Temp." Check the box that says "Use Custom Icon." Press the menu button and choose "Set Custom Icon." this should bring up a little file dialog box which will allow you to navigate through your SD Card or system memory and choose an image to use as an Icon.
The icon must be:
PNG or GIF.
32x32 or 64x64 - if it is 64x64, it will be scaled down to 32x32. All icons in BBWeather are 32x32 and if I allow something larger than that on the homescreen, it causes a few problems I don't feel like dealing with right now.
You cannot use a fully transparent image to write the text directly on the homescreen background. I haven't figured that out yet. When I use the drawText function on a transparent image, it also draws the text as transparent. If you still see the blue squarish icon on the homescreen after setting up the custom icon...it probably means there is something incompatible about your icon. I will eventually add something that checks the compatibility of the icon immediately after you select it in the file dialog but you'll have to live without that for now.
