Should the weather widget use a basic cleaner status icon (similar to the attached image) or use the full color status image?

Unfortunately, Yahoo doesn't send a background image. Any coding I have to do to add support for a background image such as the one you show would be equivalent to what I would have to do to just show a basic weather icon. The main difference is I would have to gather enough appropriate weather background images and add them to the build. The icons are already packaged in the css.

Basically each image would be named to match the condition code and then instead of using the URL provided by yahoo, create a new local URL and pass it back to the tile via data-binding.

I'm just using the image that's being passed in JSON response from the Yahoo weather service. The metro library I'm using has the metro style Windows icons embedded in the CSS. But so far the poll is showing people want a full color image for weather as opposed to the icon. So if you can come up with some nice background images I'll include them and use those in the tile as opposed to what Yahoo is sending.

Weather Image - Too Bright/Opaque
Can we dim the weather image a bit? Is there already a way to do this?
It is currently a little hard to read any text that overlaps with the image...
BTW, I haven't chimed in yet... but HSMetro is amazing! and we will soon be using it in almost every room in our house.
Thanks!
