There are many shortcomings to a lot of products, and True Launch Bar is no exception. Yes, it's daunting to begin with, but then so are many other Windows customising applications such as LiteStep, Object Desktop, Samurize, Aston, Style XP, etc.
Yes, Weather Monitor is one of the better documented plugins (see here), and it's one I've got a fairly good handle on. The problem is more with the weather providers. If we could stop them changing pages too frequently (yes, I mean you Wunderground) we'd be sailing free. There's stuff in the works from Yuri that will cater for our less technical members, such as the Weather Monitor SPECIFICALLY for the weather.com XML feed.
There is one thing for me that stands out about True Launch Bar over every other piece of software I've tried, and that's access to the Yuri, the developer. I had many questions during the development of the DK skins, and he answered them quickly, and properly.
There's also a growing community here now with many exemplary members such as shapeshifter who posts eagerly and regularly assisting fellow board users as well as being a skin maker. Where would we be without the excellent work that cmishima puts into the True Launch Bar FAQ and helping out on the board?
We've got some good skinners on board, such as bbfi who gets an honorary mention for a superb quality set of WM skins, as does QSection who are amazingly helpful during skin development! Alongside that, we have more and more users regularly taking an active part in the forums (along with the odd pirate that some of us delight in exposing...)
If you have any specific questions, ask them on the board. You'll get a lot of help from us and Yuri. All the help we can give Yuri in making this the product what we want it to be, is going to help write the documentation!
Finally, if you have any questions regarding my DK skins just let me know, and I will help you in any way I can. My apologies for not documenting them as completely as others, but my lack of vision was in how popular they seem to have been. A lesson for next time, perhaps.
Remember:
We're only just rattling the box of matches that is going to light the blue touchpaper on True Launch Bar and send it rocketing skyward.
