That is all I am supporting ATM yes. The way I see it, they are barely 
accurate for the entire day much less 5 days out. It could be expanded 
easily, I set it up that it could be expanded. I just don't want it. Did 
you like how it is both export to file and to label?  Like to think I 
covered the bases there.

I think we just can't be bothered with downloading visual styles. If 
they did not mess up desktop settings and color definitions, I would try 
them every once and a while, but I just don't think I would stick with them.

I am pretty sure that they make a AMIP for foobar, so if you were so 
inclined, you could have the extended info show up. I guess I will need 
to make that an option to have that popup or not.

As for the slider behavior, that is umSlider and not one of my custom 
script sliders. It should not have that problem. I don't have foobar 
anymore. (I tried to like it, really), but I am betting that it is the 
problem or umSlider somehow.

I think you have had this before and answered this before. It is 
something about module loading order. You have something loading 
elsewhere and in an odd order. Ring any bells?  I did a quick look and 
could not find you message, but I am betting that is the issue. lscolor 
should be one of the first loaded modules. Maybe if there was a reload 
there wiping out the evars, but I got rid of them.

Dammit, I knew that. I just forgot to bundle hooge with the theme.

Not too bad so far for a first run:
1) enable the extended media to be a choice.
2) include the font for the meters. (Still wish I could use the xStats. 
Stability goes right out the window as soon as I load that module though.)
3) Clarify the how the color scheme is done. Maybe I should have used 
ECS instead? In the begining it seemed better to use lscolor for the 
fonts and so on, but now I wonder. ECS would allow me to include color 
schemes seperate from the window colors. (good for the visual style 
people I guess.
