[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Alright. Completely redesigned from the ground up... CHome Weather 2 !

This will install two shortcuts in your Start Menu. A "Weather Update" shortcut, which you can use to update manually, as well as "Weather Options" shortcut.

Steps to take to make this work:

1) Install one of the cabs below. Pick the "Slim" version if you want thinner panels, like in the screenshots.

2) It should ask to reboot ! (turn phone off and on.. etc). If it doesn't... reboot manually!

3) Go to your Start Menu and find "Weather Options". Set your Zip / Location Code to your zip code if you're in the US or a "location code" if you're anywhere else. More info on finding your specific code is here http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#req . Set the "Fahrenheit / Celsius" option to either "F" or "C" (without the quotes!). Specify how often you would like to autoupdate the weather information in minutes in option 3. Specify whether you would like the application to attempt to connect your default GPRS connection first, before updating. Finally you can turnoff the autoupdate feature with the last option (7).

4) Now it might be a good idea to go to Start and find "Update Weather" and run it.

5) The cab should set your homescreen to "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" automatically. If it doesn't, you need to do it manually to see the weather plugin. If you top icons disappear then you might have to use the regular "Sliding Panel + Weather!" theme.

Please let me know what bugs you find.

The first couple of thumbnails show the "Collapsed" state of the plugin, where it shows only the city and the current temp.

If you want your system font to look like the one in the thumbnails (calibri), download the .cab attached, install and reboot.

Revisions:

- Ver 1.7 More bug fixes. Hopefully this is a solid release. Options panel redesigned and touched up.

- Ver 1.6a A few bugs fixes. Removed internet connection checking routine as it obviously doesn't work for everybody. A few cosmetic changes.

Added illi's potrait orientation .cpr file to the regular testui version cab. Added AutoUpdate on/off in the options panel (scroll down to see it). Reboot after changing that option. More bugfixes...

- Ver 1.04 A few updates. More options. Switch between two layouts. Bug fixes... etc

- Ver 1.03 Celsius bug squashed. Now the country code shows up after the city name for people outside the US.

- Ver 1.02 New logic in update script. Update percentage counter added. Forecast for tomorrow in the bottom line with hi and low values and hi and low values for the current day at the top, after the city name. Yahoo icon pack added, in case you prefer those.

- Ver 1.01. Added last update time as a second line under the current temp. Added dropshadow icons created by KWOODALL! Thanks for the beautiful icons! 5/11 10:52AM

As a side note, the second line display is dependant on the font used on the device, so it might not align properly on some device. Let me know when it doesn't and I'll update the script to work on your device. Or better yet, just download the Calibri font mod cab below and be happy. Thank you.
