* Lower memory and CPU usage.
* Optionally render static frames to effectively eliminate all resource usage.
* More color schemes.

* Generate themes for arbitrary colors.
* All code is written from scratch.

The wind texture is generated from the NOAA GFS 0.25° ANL dataset (updated every 6 hours) using the wind vector values (UGRD, VGRD) at 850 mb elevation.
