Moon icon

[moosbruch]

Could you please display the icon of the Moon (right upper side, surronded by four stars) according to its actual phase? Its sickle at least as C (in Polish - cofa) and D (in Polish - dopełnia)?

<<Patrząc na księżyc, możemy ocenić, w której fazie się znajduje:
Jeżeli ma kształt litery D, to znaczy, że się Dopełnia, robi się Duży, Dąży do pełni - czyli nadchodzi pełnia.
Jeżeli ma kształt litery C, to się Cofa, Cienieje, Ciemnieje, Chudnie - jest już po pełni.
Klasyczny sposób zapamiętywania tej zasady na podstawie podobieństw do liter C i D oparto w języku łacińskim na sformułowaniu "Luna mendax" (księżyc kłamca). W języku łacińskim słowo Crescit oznacza "rośnie, zwiększa się", natomiast Decrescit - "maleje, zmniejsza się". Kształt pierwszej litery jest więc odwrotny niż obserwowany kształt księżyca.>>

Hi,

Could we please keep this forum in English, so that the majority can benefit from it?
Sorry and thank you for your understanding.

Maybe this will answer your question?

Thanks for the compliments!
Unfortunately now we don't have plans to display real moon phase in the moon icons.
Though, in future this will probably will happen.
Thanks for reminding me of this feature.

My 2 ct: An icon is an icon. It symbolizes something and for this it has not to change its look. A changing symbol is less clear recognized.

But I saw another problem with the "real" moon in yowindow last month: The missing part is in the wrong direction. AFAIR the moon has to be turned 90° clockwise to look right (at least in the northern hemisphere). But I wanted to have a look to the waning moon before I report this "bug".
