Hey Rainy,
Just wanted to let you know that I love Rainlendar and have been using it for quite some time. I also wanted you to know that I just updated to the latest 2.6 build (for some reason I missed 2.5) and have a few suggestions for you. Actually, I have fewer suggestions than I thought I was going to have because several of the suggestions I had, you already incorporated into v2.6! So here are my suggestions:
I would like to see a few more ‘data cleanup’ commands added to the rss.lua file. In particular I think it would be nice to have:
s = string.gsub(s, "—", "—")
s = string.gsub(s, "–", "-")
s = string.gsub(s, "˜", "~")
s = string.gsub(s, "™", "™")
s = string.gsub(s, "©", "©")
s = string.gsub(s, "®", "®")
s = string.gsub(s, "²", "²")
s = string.gsub(s, "³", "³")
s = string.gsub(s, "&", "'")
This is based entirely on the need with the RSS feeds I actually read with Rainlendar. I am sure there are more that could be added.
The second item is that I think it would be nice if you could select different weather icons from within the Weather options menu. I understand that this would involve you adding more icon packs to the program and thus increase the file size, but it would be cosmetically pleasing. One particular icon set I have found that works quite nicely is Weather Icons Shiny by ~JyriK found at:

The third and final item is I noticed that you added a Moonphase widget which I think is pretty nice. Your setup looks very similar to the one from Vitrum by Alex Sivets.

I have used portions of Vitrum in my own custom add-on pack. Specifically, I used the other moonphase graphic he uses at the top of the calendar. I think that would be a nice widget to have as an option in Rainlendar. I have already done this in my own add-ons but it is certainly not ‘release’ quality. In particular, I have a problem with getting the correct timezone through. I have attached my custom files if you care to take a look at it.
Anyway, thanks for the great app. Hope my suggestions help.
