A new version is available on Gitub today. I noticed on occasion the weather was out of date. There is an odd issue where once the code gets a HTTP 400 Bad Request error it usually does not recover from it. I checked memory and a few other things and cannot figure what is causing the issue. So the only solution I could come up with is to reboot the clock when it occurs.
Garry - please take alook and advise where the api calls to weather are done it needs changed to once an hour as is its pooling according to my firewall losts several times every few seconds, this will eat up the allowed 1000 api cals a day thats allowed. Please help where this can be changed suggest it only poll one every hour and immediatly after powerup, that could also be why im seeing excessive traffic on the ip to the cloge and icmp timing out.
Second problem, chasnge to ntp didnt work, i changed the pool.xxxxxx server in the .h file to my local s1 gps ntp server snd its not going to it its still going out to the pool is their more than one place the ntp server is hard coded, suggestion that should be changeable via web.
@@RobertMontavon I'm not seeing it. I know when it boots it will try two times in a row to get the weather. If it fails it defaults to 5 minute checks. I placed a serial.println in the getweather function and it's not being called more than every 5 minutes except the initial boot. I would verify your API key is valid and place a serial.println in GetWeather to see how often it's called and use the serial monitor to verify.
You did an excellent job on all of your instructions for this project! I just finished the wiring and programming, and it's running perfectly! Just a couple hints for future builders: Use the same version of the IDE that is used in the video! The menu system changed a little in the current version, so it makes it hard to follow the steps. Also, I tried adding my 5ghz wifi connection. This board will only work with the 2.4 channel if you have both. It looks awesome and is very accurate!!
I updated the code today on GitHub, I changed the wind direction color to better view the wind speed. The letter S looks like a 5 and it made the wind appear like 58 when it's actually 8mph. I also added a hostname when getting the IP address from DHCP, this way it's easier to bookmark the web config page.
@@waynewhitney2780 The weather is checked once every 15 minutes and 31 seconds. If the weather site is slow in responding the morph logic is assuming from the prior second and now several seconds has gone by so it messes up what it has to clear and display. I don't see a way to fix it unless I bypass the morph logic when updating the seconds.
A new version will be available soon. The weather service it currently uses is pulling the plug this June. I am testing with 4 different weather services, hopefully all 4 will be available in the next release for better flexibility.
I built your clock and it works beautifully...Wonderful video! When I first got it wired and got the IDE to compile and upload, as soon as I connected the 8266 to the matrix display, it would pull the 8266 down (the blue led would turn off and it would drop off the WiFi network). After several wiring checks, changing the 8266 and other troubleshooting scenarios, I found I could get it to work properly by disconnecting the D3 pin on the 8266. With the D3 pin disconnected, it seems to work just as shown in your video. Any ideas on what's going on?
@@GaryQuiring Process of elimination. After convincing myself that the wiring was correct, I decided to try and figure out where the short was and maybe what was causing it. Narrowed it down to D3 and decided to see how it would work without that wire...seems to work fine. I'd send you a photo but don't think I can through this forum..
@@MikeTodd-q2e I looked up what D3 is - "connected to FLASH button, boot fails if pulled LOW". It would seem there is no need to even connect that to the RGB board. I originally got the wiring from Harry who developed the morphing digits.
Hi Gary, Nice Clock and I have a few of the displays in stock and a couple of 8266 so looks like I will have some flashy leds in my den. Have subscribed to your channel and look forward to lots more viewing. Cheers Dave.
I just noticed something weird. The temperature reading is updating normally, but the center indicator (where it shows "rain", "snow" etc, appears stuck.
The free weather feed does not refresh data very often. It's also not terribly accurate in my area. It could say it's cloudy and it's actually raining. If you think it's stuck try rebooting it and see if that changes the weather description.
Hello. Thanks to you, I completed the hour. It looks really great. If I input the watch with a 5v 5A power supply, can I power the esp8266 with the same power supply? Does 5A damage ESP?
@@GaryQuiring I have the same display 64x32 but it’s P4 not a P3 . I tried it and didn’t work , so I ordered the P3 the same one you recommended. Will give it another try .
@@GaryQuiring P4 didn't work :( I tried it 4 times pull all the wires out and rewire it... nothing. I just wired the P3 and it's working perfect first time after connecting the wires. I am happy now :) Thank you again.
I finally got display in, and allmworking except, when the ye;llow wire hooked up d4 it shorts out any idea what d4 controls, if i leave it un hooked seems to work
Someone else used a P4 board and had to disconnect d3 for it to work. It must be different RGB boards out there. I honestly have no idea, the board logic is all Harry's orginal code. You would have to contact him, he might have a better understanding of the board logic.
Hi Gary its the waveshare trided two diffrent ones just got from Amazon, both needed the d3 unhooked, then all appears to operate just fine, the looping on the web fro weather is confirmed if no location it sets stuck in loop tring to get the heather, hence what i was seeing with the excessive weather api calls. Be interested to know what that d43 line does / is for if you find out that be great. also on latested win update had to reload the 4341 driver i mentioned again so if outher get stuck tring to flash on a win 11 box they weill need to load the old driver, very easy. Ill see if I still have link.
sir i have a problem while compiling the code . there was an error occured showing error byte is amigious . this error occured at line byte prevss = 0 . please give me a solution to solve my error
Hi Gary, i have decided to make another display but i cannot get the esp8266 to load. i keep getting the following error: Error compiling for board Generic ESP8266 Module. i have tried everything you suggested before but again it wont upload. any ideas?
Hi Gary, have u ever come across when you upload the code to the 8266 when you reset it just shows at the bottom of the display " timezone 0" its doing my head in now as i have tried 2 diplays and 4 different eso8266 boards
Well done sir, you are the strongest and the most patient. A very interesting and detailed video that is rarely found nowadays. Thank you for sharing the project and for the books offered. Honestly, I tried other projects, but I got stuck at bookstores, not all of them could be found. Is there such a project for displaying the weather for several days? like phones have. All the best!
Thank you sir for your wonderful video. The instructions are detailed and clear. I tried building this clock. Programming and wiring is easy. But am having problems. This led display is not getting on. I am using P4 32*64 RGB board. I am not getting any display and the led on ESP8266 goes off as soon as the ground wire is connected. Seperately i checked the esp through the serial monitor it shows the details when the ground wire is not connected. But as soon as the ground wire is connected the serial monitor show junk character. Please help how to fix it
Someone else mentioned that issue and said the solution is to disconnect the D3 wire. I don't know why that is happening, I wonder if the LED matrix display design has changed?
Hi Gary, Hope you can help when I tried to compile and got this error "Compilation error: reference to 'byte' is ambiguous", not sure why did clean installed Arduino and your libraries. Thanks
Hi Gary! Got the clock running and just have one question...I am missing the top row of weather information. All info seems to be fine in the params file. No issues during compile - I know the display is working as the entire display lights up during bootup. Any ideas? Thanks

can please someone help me with this ERROR: MorphingClockQ:545:65: error: 'TFDrawText' was not declared in this scope TFDrawText (&display, String (" MORPH CLOCK "), 0, 1, cc_blu);
A better technique for soldering the ESP8266 header pins, is to place the headers into the ESP module and stabilize them into a solderless breadboard. this method with hold the pins in the proper orientation. Also maybe design a 3D printer file for a case and diffuser for the matrix.
Another user mentioned it. It's the NTPClient library that is the issue. I briefly reviewed the code (not my code) and saw this variable that I thought would resolve the problem. In the code is a variable called _minutesOffset. It looks like if you would change the offset to 30 and recompile / upload the sketch it might work. Otherwise you need to contact the author of the lib and see what they say.
The ESP8266 boards are 2.4 only, they don't support 5ghz. Beyond that I don't know what could be wrong except distance. Try getting it closer to your router.
Hi Mr Gary Q... Greetings🤝from Indonesia🇮🇩 Is it possible to change the color of the clock to another color? If possible, what should be changed in the coding? Terimakasih...🙏
@@GaryQuiring Sorry Mr Gary Q...🙏 Actually I watched the video but didn't get to the end, because I couldn't wait to put it into practice😁✌ but after listening carefully to the video I finally found the way... For that reason, I would like to thank you very much for your attention and answers🙏🙏🙏 By the way..., I also ask permission to use it Always successful & healthy for Mr. Gary Quiring 🙏
I'm not sure what's going on, the weather code is no longer working. I have a different NTP clock that also stopped working a few days ago. I think openweathermap.org is the issue. Is anyone else having problems?
I noticed this issue about a week ago. I emailed openweather and they replied that my API call was good and there is probably something wrong with my code. I pointed out that my code hasn't changed and worked perfectly fine for several months. I'm not sure what to do next??
@@MikeTodd-q2e I'm going to contact them again, first attempt they told me they don't support the free account users. The fact that the little weather cube does not work either proves it's their issue.
@@MikeTodd-q2e I don't know why but openweather did not email me, my buddy got the email, openweather has terminated the 2.5 API. They require you to use the 3.0 API and have a credit card on file. It won't charge you if you stay below the allotment but this is bad news. I can't possibly switch to the 3.0 API and take the responsibility that the code would never go over the allotment, because it would charge your credit card.
@@GaryQuiring So what are our alternatives? You mentioned Weatherbit, but that will require a code change as well as getting credentials with them? Another thing is II can make an API call through my browser (chrome) using 2.5 and it returns the entire list.
@@janwawrzyniak8444 You can take the source from Harry and modify my version. The problem I had (I also spoke to Harry about it) is none of the current ESP boards worked with the access point code he was using.
You have a flaw in this code for the weatherapi, its sending requetsed every few seconds from what im seeing in my firewall loks, this will almost immediately depleate the 1000 calls allowed for free for a DAY, where would this get changed to only pool it one every hour on the hour?
My plan allows for 60 calls per minute. If it were calling that often it would deny my requests. I put a serial.println in GetWeather to see if it's calling too often as you see. I don't see any unusual calls going on. It's checking every 5 minutes. There is some logic that would create more calls if it cannot get the weather from the service. Maybe your API key is invalid? Bring up the serial monitor and see what it shows.
I found the problem by enabling com port monitoring it was stuck in continus loop on the location your video said city , country but the web interface said city, state, which is wrong endless loop bad city…. and found the variable were its was set to 5 mins, I changed it to 30 every 1/2 hours more than sufficient for this, and the ntp server dont get set in the netclient.h like i assumed, its in your file. It be nice to have an oled outout the serial data @@GaryQuiring

@@GaryQuiring Hi Gary. I do re-wiring the pin and found that one of my jumper wire was 'unconnected' (might be burn during other usage) causing that flickering matrix display.

Hi 😀 Question: Is it possible to change the code from Fahrenheit to Celsius ❓ Can you change the date to German (day / month / year ) ❓ Why does the master folder need to be renamed ? No matter what name then ❓ So everything in German if possible ❓
The Fahrenheit to Celsius is already there in the web interface. The master folder name is the way the compiler works. The date format is anything you want, it's in the params.h file
I am having a hard time with the google drive link, does it still exist? also, some of the libraries seem not to exist. Do you have tips for that? I am using amica esp8266 arduino IDE 2.3.2
I found the link. I think I copied the L or I wrong. Furthermore, my system is constantly restarting and rarely works right, meaning boots and displays time. I am running a 5v psu with 3watts of power. I think I have to upgrade. Also, the libraries updated and broke everything. So now back to square one. Thank you for the help
@@pcmann2004If it's constantly rebooting it's most likely your city, country or the API key for the weather. Check the serial monitor. Also I'm not sure why you were typing the URL for the Google drive, it's a clickable link on Github.

Hi Gary, Most impressed with the whole project! Nice clear data via the video that allowed me to build the unit. Had a couple of loose connectors but soon found them and corrected. One issue that I'm struggling with is trying to get the program to download weather. I have even requested a new API key but to no avail. I do get Serial messages which say "No weather data available", then the various weather elements print out with a "Not Found" trailer string? It's driving me crazy trying to trace the issue and if you have a moment perhaps you can throw me a lifeline. (Doubt if it will reach rainy Scotland though lol) Thanks in anticipation. Ted
The most common mistake with the weather are the fields. It's city, country. Not city, state. I don't know how they label them in Scotland though. Try something really common for a test like New York, USA. See if you get weather results.
Thanks for that swift response Gary. I had triple checked that very issue having tried "Edinburgh,GB" then "London,GB" to no avail. I stuck in a println order within the "void getWeather() routine just after client.setTimeout(500); to make sure the API code was good and it was. I'm kind off looking close at the GET statements to see if anything at all is coming back and although i've not been able to print anything out, I'm sure nothing is being captured, but not to sure what I can print???? I'm staying with this routine for the time being but will try your suggestion about using a "Boston,US" to see.......

Very well done, nice work and video. One thing I would add, is you don't need external power for the display, everything can run off a 2A USB charger ☺️
True! It really simplifies the power wiring! I just ran the +5v from the wall charger to both the display and the VIN pin on the 8266. No need to use the USB connector on the 8266 after the sketch is uploaded.
@@GaryQuiring ok sir, thank you. sir, while iam making this project iam having troubles my display is showing lines instead of the connecting info what would be the problem iam trying to understand but i cant getting it sir . help me please
Hi Gary, congratulations on this mix! I built 2 clocks and was using the Imirel mix but I decided to change one of them with your version, I've been using it for about 5 days and really enjoying it. The only bug(already know) I noticed was the display freezing during the weather update. I wanted to know if that day/night function to dim the display after the configured time was really removed or if I can reactivate it? I also wanted to change the wind speed from meters per second to kilometers per hour. I've built some clocks but I don't know anything about programming. I've already managed to change another project by adding *3.6 in the string line. LOL. Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my language.
The weather update freeze is the delay getting the data from the weather service. It would have to be rewritten to use a timer interrupt. One day I might research that. The dim function is gone, I removed it, the code was messy and made it difficult to modify other options. The kilometers to hours is a problem because the wind is an integer. When multiplying by 3.6 it's going to multiply it by 3. You could internally change that but then you still have the issue of a decimal point and there is no space on that line to make the wind field larger, it's out of room. If the wind were ever to go over 99 for example it would mess up, obviously if that were the case the person has a bigger problem to worry about! Hurricanes are not fun.
@@GaryQuiring Thanks for the answer. The clock is already pretty cool. Another thing I wanted to ask because I've been using the icons... Would it be possible to change the icon that is supposed to be a moon with the stars blinking? The icon doesn't look anything like a moon, it's more like an arrow.
@@GaryQuiring Hello Gary! Is there a bug in changing the colors according to the change in relative humidity or is it really disabled? From what I could see so far the relative humidity of the air is only shown in yellow regardless of the percentage. For example now the humidity around here is at 57% and according to the code (greeen between 40 and 60%) it should be shown in green color, correct?
Gary do I have to purchase credits from open weather ? I created a free account I got the api key but this is the message under my account Hourly forecast: unavailable Daily forecast: unavailable Calls per minute: 60 3 hour forecast: 5 days .

The free weather feed does not refresh data very often. It's also not terribly accurate in my area. It could say it's cloudy and it's actually raining. If you think it's stuck try rebooting it and see if that changes the weather description.
Hello. Thanks to you, I completed the hour. It looks really great. If I input the watch with a 5v 5A power supply, can I power the esp8266 with the same power supply? Does 5A damage ESP?
That's how I wired mine, it powers the LED display and ESP. 5 amps is fine.
Gary you are amazing. Very good detailed info video. I will try this project. Thank you for this video. You got another subscriber :)
Thank you, I had to document it because it took a lot of research to make this work. I wanted to make easier for everyone to do.
@@GaryQuiring I have the same display 64x32 but it’s P4 not a P3 . I tried it and didn’t work , so I ordered the P3 the same one you recommended. Will give it another try .
@@tiberiud1955 It should work, P3 vs P4 is the pitch of the LED which should not matter.
@@GaryQuiring P4 didn't work :( I tried it 4 times pull all the wires out and rewire it... nothing. I just wired the P3 and it's working perfect first time after connecting the wires. I am happy now :) Thank you again.
I finally got display in, and allmworking except, when the ye;llow wire hooked up d4 it shorts out any idea what d4 controls, if i leave it un hooked seems to work
Someone else used a P4 board and had to disconnect d3 for it to work. It must be different RGB boards out there. I honestly have no idea, the board logic is all Harry's orginal code. You would have to contact him, he might have a better understanding of the board logic.
Hi Gary its the waveshare trided two diffrent ones just got from Amazon, both needed the d3 unhooked, then all appears to operate just fine, the looping on the web fro weather is confirmed if no location it sets stuck in loop tring to get the heather, hence what i was seeing with the excessive weather api calls. Be interested to know what that d43 line does / is for if you find out that be great. also on latested win update had to reload the 4341 driver i mentioned again so if outher get stuck tring to flash on a win 11 box they weill need to load the old driver, very easy. Ill see if I still have link.
sir i have a problem while compiling the code . there was an error occured showing error byte is amigious . this error occured at line byte prevss = 0 . please give me a solution to solve my error
Watch the video more closely, you took the default for the ESP, it can't be 3.x, it has to be 2.x. It's around 18 minutes into the video.
Hi Gary, i have decided to make another display but i cannot get the esp8266 to load. i keep getting the following error: Error compiling for board Generic ESP8266 Module.
i have tried everything you suggested before but again it wont upload. any ideas?
But what is the error? If you look before the error compiling .... it must show the line with the specific error
Hi Gary, have u ever come across when you upload the code to the 8266 when you reset it just shows at the bottom of the display " timezone 0" its doing my head in now as i have tried 2 diplays and 4 different eso8266 boards
That's not an upload problem. Do you have a paramsEDITTHISFIRST.h file? Did you rename it to params.h after updating it?
Yea have done that
@@andybaker8472 What value do you have in the timezone field?
Hello sir params.h: No such file or directory error. how to correct?

Lot of thanks. @@GaryQuiring
Sir need some help your email address Pls@@GaryQuiring
I change the portal to "/brightness/80" but it doesn't update the Params file or the display? Am i doiing something wrong?
Looking at the driver code 70 is the max.
When you say storing to the params file, it stores the settings in non-volatile memory on the ESP board. It's not going to update params.h.
Well done sir, you are the strongest and the most patient. A very interesting and detailed video that is rarely found nowadays. Thank you for sharing the project and for the books offered. Honestly, I tried other projects, but I got stuck at bookstores, not all of them could be found.
Is there such a project for displaying the weather for several days? like phones have.
All the best!
Will this program work with a P-4 RGB board
Thank you sir for your wonderful video. The instructions are detailed and clear. I tried building this clock. Programming and wiring is easy. But am having problems.
This led display is not getting on. I am using P4 32*64 RGB board.
I am not getting any display and the led on ESP8266 goes off as soon as the ground wire is connected.
Seperately i checked the esp through the serial monitor it shows the details when the ground wire is not connected. But as soon as the ground wire is connected the serial monitor show junk character.
Please help how to fix it
Someone else mentioned that issue and said the solution is to disconnect the D3 wire. I don't know why that is happening, I wonder if the LED matrix display design has changed?

A better technique for soldering the ESP8266 header pins, is to place the headers into the ESP module and stabilize them into a solderless breadboard. this method with hold the pins in the proper orientation. Also maybe design a 3D printer file for a case and diffuser for the matrix.
timezone +5.5 is not working. only 5 or 6 works. any solution?
Another user mentioned it. It's the NTPClient library that is the issue. I briefly reviewed the code (not my code) and saw this variable that I thought would resolve the problem. In the code is a variable called _minutesOffset. It looks like if you would change the offset to 30 and recompile / upload the sketch it might work. Otherwise you need to contact the author of the lib and see what they say.
Did you ever resolve the +5.5 issue?
Line number 581 edited as NTP.begin(ntpsvr, String(c_vars[EV_TZ]).toInt(), toBool(String(c_vars[EV_DST])), 30);

Hi Gary, why is it always that wifi connect failed. I am very sure the ssid and password of my wifi is correct. Please help. Thanks
The ESP8266 boards are 2.4 only, they don't support 5ghz. Beyond that I don't know what could be wrong except distance. Try getting it closer to your router.

I'm not sure what's going on, the weather code is no longer working. I have a different NTP clock that also stopped working a few days ago. I think openweathermap.org is the issue. Is anyone else having problems?
I noticed this issue about a week ago. I emailed openweather and they replied that my API call was good and there is probably something wrong with my code. I pointed out that my code hasn't changed and worked perfectly fine for several months. I'm not sure what to do next??
@@MikeTodd-q2e I'm going to contact them again, first attempt they told me they don't support the free account users. The fact that the little weather cube does not work either proves it's their issue.
If they blow me off I will try to use the API call from Weatherbit. They offer a free account.
@@MikeTodd-q2e I don't know why but openweather did not email me, my buddy got the email, openweather has terminated the 2.5 API. They require you to use the 3.0 API and have a credit card on file. It won't charge you if you stay below the allotment but this is bad news. I can't possibly switch to the 3.0 API and take the responsibility that the code would never go over the allotment, because it would charge your credit card.
@@GaryQuiring So what are our alternatives? You mentioned Weatherbit, but that will require a code change as well as getting credentials with them? Another thing is II can make an API call through my browser (chrome) using 2.5 and it returns the entire list.
Hi
Can you make a version with the ability to set wifi after compilation as it was in the original?
Depending on the ESP board the access point way did not work in the boards I used for setting the Wifi.
It's a pity, because then after compilation you could upload without compilation.
Thanks
@@janwawrzyniak8444 You can take the source from Harry and modify my version. The problem I had (I also spoke to Harry about it) is none of the current ESP boards worked with the access point code he was using.
@@GaryQuiring Dzięki za pomoc.
Pozdrawiam
As u said only on 2.7.2 version it compiles. Thank you. I wasted a lot of time in 3.1.2.
You have a flaw in this code for the weatherapi, its sending requetsed every few seconds from what im seeing in my firewall loks, this will almost immediately depleate the 1000 calls allowed for free for a DAY, where would this get changed to only pool it one every hour on the hour?
My plan allows for 60 calls per minute. If it were calling that often it would deny my requests. I put a serial.println in GetWeather to see if it's calling too often as you see. I don't see any unusual calls going on. It's checking every 5 minutes. There is some logic that would create more calls if it cannot get the weather from the service. Maybe your API key is invalid? Bring up the serial monitor and see what it shows.
I found the problem by enabling com port monitoring it was stuck in continus loop on the location your video said city , country but the web interface said city, state, which is wrong endless loop bad city…. and found the variable were its was set to 5 mins, I changed it to 30 every 1/2 hours more than sufficient for this, and the ntp server dont get set in the netclient.h like i assumed, its in your file. It be nice to have an oled outout the serial data @@GaryQuiring

Hi Gary, Most impressed with the whole project! Nice clear data via the video that allowed me to build the unit.
Had a couple of loose connectors but soon found them and corrected. One issue that I'm struggling with is trying to get the program to download weather.
I have even requested a new API key but to no avail. I do get Serial messages which say "No weather data available", then the various weather elements print out with a "Not Found" trailer string?
It's driving me crazy trying to trace the issue and if you have a moment perhaps you can throw me a lifeline. (Doubt if it will reach rainy Scotland though lol)
Thanks in anticipation.

The most common mistake with the weather are the fields. It's city, country. Not city, state. I don't know how they label them in Scotland though. Try something really common for a test like New York, USA. See if you get weather results.
Thanks for that swift response Gary. I had triple checked that very issue having tried "Edinburgh,GB" then "London,GB" to no avail.
I stuck in a println order within the "void getWeather() routine just after client.setTimeout(500); to make sure the API code was good and it was.
I'm kind off looking close at the GET statements to see if anything at all is coming back and although i've not been able to print anything out, I'm sure nothing is being captured, but not to sure what I can print???? I'm staying with this routine for the time being but will try your suggestion about using a "Boston,US" to see.......

Hi Gary, congratulations on this mix!
I built 2 clocks and was using the Imirel mix but I decided to change one of them with your version, I've been using it for about 5 days and really enjoying it. The only bug(already know) I noticed was the display freezing during the weather update.
I wanted to know if that day/night function to dim the display after the configured time was really removed or if I can reactivate it?
I also wanted to change the wind speed from meters per second to kilometers per hour. I've built some clocks but I don't know anything about programming. I've already managed to change another project by adding *3.6 in the string line. LOL.
Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my language.
The weather update freeze is the delay getting the data from the weather service. It would have to be rewritten to use a timer interrupt. One day I might research that. The dim function is gone, I removed it, the code was messy and made it difficult to modify other options. The kilometers to hours is a problem because the wind is an integer. When multiplying by 3.6 it's going to multiply it by 3. You could internally change that but then you still have the issue of a decimal point and there is no space on that line to make the wind field larger, it's out of room. If the wind were ever to go over 99 for example it would mess up, obviously if that were the case the person has a bigger problem to worry about! Hurricanes are not fun.
@@GaryQuiring Thanks for the answer. The clock is already pretty cool. Another thing I wanted to ask because I've been using the icons... Would it be possible to change the icon that is supposed to be a moon with the stars blinking? The icon doesn't look anything like a moon, it's more like an arrow.
