Just a word of thanks for the new moon icon in CumulusMX b3071.

I previously used a very similar image but it was displayed by picking one of 200+ images I had created for each moon phase by using php based on the "moonphase" and "percentage" values.

Much easier to call up moon.png and I can now archive my old images and save some server space.

Nice touch.

Thanks for the continued efforts and improvements. :clap:

Yes It is very nice Thanks to all that did this. As it is working good.
Now 1 question, does it really need to be generated every hour? wouldn't once a day work? like when it does the end of day thingy. even though its size is small but people that ftp their files up only need to do this once a day, correct me if im wrong on that, and I think there is an option to ftp a file at roll over or something like that.

The image just about changes by 1 pixel each hour near the quarters when at 100 pixel resolution. I think the overhead at once per hour is tiny. But you can always disable the automatic hourly upload and upload it once day via the Extra Files if you wish.
