I'm using the moon module in e17 and it is very nice!
That's good to hear - I enjoyed slapping it together!
I have the following stupid idea which could be nice for those of us
living in the south hemisphere: a toggle that would rotate 180 degrees
(or flip horizontally) the moon images.
I'm originally from New Zealand, so would like to implement this for my fellow southerners as well, but afaik the EDC interface format doesn't currently have a way of rotating images (it's on the e17 TODO though). There are some ways I could do this now without the rotation, but they would be ugly ways... So for now I'm going to wait and see what happens with the builtin rotation support, and prioritize other stuff...
In the meantime, if you really want it, you could rotate the images yourself before running make :)
Just my 2 cents (well, maybe just 1 cent).
Thanks a lot to all the devs, e17 is getting awesome very quickly now!

Speaking of images, the ones the module uses currently (in the version on get-e.org) are the 60 images used in e16's moon clock, which are not so good if you like streching your modules. The United States Naval Observatory has a set of 180 images made by a R. Schmidt with larger dimensions (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/vphase.html). I contacted the webmaster ATusno.navy.mil about the possibility redistributing those images with the moon module, but never got a response (and I can't find R. Schmidt).If anyone out there knows of any alternative image sets, please let me know.
Ultimately I'd actually like to be able to do phase effect with just one image of the full moon, and layer "shade" images on top of it appropriately to provide the different phase views - this would make for a light theme file - it's heavy with complete images. I've gotta put aside some time to learn the GIMP before I can do that though... if someone wants to beat me to it, feel free :-)
Thanks for the feedback & regards!
