I had started thinking that the PiClock was looking a bit plain, so I wanted to give it a bit of a facelift.
I started by changing the weather provider, now using weather underground. I didn't like their background map, so I used google maps for the background, with the radar overlayed. I modified a set of weather icons to match my color theme. I had started with a blue neon themed clock, but then after I read an article about movies being all orange and blue http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OrangeBlueContrast I thought I'd just follow the trend and added some orange to it. I think the new skin looks pretty cool now!
Here's a little video of the weather radar animations and the color ambilights in action.. (it was still all blue when this video was made) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1028794177135843
