Cumulus 1.8.9 Realtime wind gauges

Does anybody know if it is at all possible to increase the size of the Cumulus 1.8.9 realtime wind gauges? I am wishing to dedicate these two gauges to just the one web page and suspect that I would need at least a 50% size increase. Thanks in advance.

Which ones? The Flash ones?

I don't think it's possible, because the size is hard coded in. When I get chance to sort it out, I'm going to release the source code for those gauges, so that someone can improve them - they certainly need improving! Or, better still, someone could write some new ones

It would be good to see the source code

I like the 3D look of your dials Steve
I wrote mine in Python and ImageMagick (which both have Windows versions I believe) though I'm not currently updating them as often as your Realtime dials.

Steve,
If you are planning to release the code at some time, would it be possible to have the code for the wind gauges that are in your Cumulus Realtime page? If not, no worries.

No, I'm afraid not. I don't propose to release the source for any bits of Cumulus that I'm still working on.

Ah yes, I forgot to realise that Cumulus Realtime is from Cumulus 2. As you say, maybe someone will write some new ones.

If you release the code, it should be trivial to recompile the existing Flash gauges so that they will auto-scale to the size specified in the HTML.
