I could use some help with WeatherScope. Whenever rain is in our
area, I usually use this radar map...

http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?r...111&loo p=yes

Please explain how to imitate the weather radar at the National
Weather Service link above. For me, the only important difference
from the defaults on that web page is the checkbox for "auto
update".

Secondarily... I see the background can be set to black, that's
great IMO. Can the foreground county/state line colors be changed
so that they show up on a black background?

Also... Can the tool bar on the left side be hidden to provide the
biggest weather radar display and help reduce the display
footprint?

Thanks.

The color of each dataset, such as county/state lines, can each be
changed to your liking. All you need to do is double-click on the
product in the legend bar, or right-click and select properties
from the menu that pops up. From there you should see where you
can click to change the color for that particular dataset.

There is also a way to hide the legend bar. By going to the "Map"
menu, then down to the bottom of the list, click where it says
"Hide Legend".

As long as "Track Real Time" is selected in the "Map" menu,
WeatherScope should continually update as soon as it gets new
data. Also, you can show the animator window by looking under the
"Window" menu, and the length of the animation can be adjusted by
selecting "Date" under the "Map" menu.
