Hi. Im trying to get your entire theme going. Ive reset 6 times already. I'm having to follow your advice to delete all calls to plugins in the ini, and building the structure from scratch within UL, because your ini locks my Touch.

Could you walk me through building the settings correctly in UL GUI? What plugins go where.

Thanks! Looking forward to getting this working soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nagrom Nniuq:
Well it looked like a good start and I was happy to test it but I sure as heck am not going to pay you money to test something that still has bugs, so gl with that.

I donate to people like A_C that make a good product and "request" donations, not demand them. I don't think this site is for selling software. There are other sites to do that from.
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
thanx for your reply..

i tell thumbcal to install to storage card.. it goes to device > programs anyway..

i do have S2P, SetVolume, and Mortscript All installed--they dont show on the available plugins..

i Do have your settings :: "ultimateLaunch settings>Display and make sure "Fixed plug-in height" is selected. I use a height of 267 pixels." Mine was set at that I still had

scroll bar on right side.. i changed to 260 and i dont see a change

im running L26 V9 , if that makes any difference..

i've been messing w/this for so long..

i might not be smart enough and have enough time to get this to work..

i am glad that most of the ppl can..

thanx,,,
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Just to be clear...I am not asking for any donations for my weather panel theme, static weather images, or my ultimate launch setup (which really isn't the subject of this thread...and in hindsite I wish I had posted it in a seperate thread...like the "show us your UL setup" thread...). They are all posted here and freely available for people to try out.

Only the animated icons require a donation. So the animations are the "product"...not anything else in this thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
i changed my pixels to 246 in UL settings > display.. this killed the vertical scroll bar..

But, i have 2 rows of icons (like your video) but the tops of the bottom row are chopped off..

Also, can i get rid of the "spb" menu at the bottom right corner??

Can i change the top calendar bar settings to :: Not show 04, 08?

i went to regional settings , and i dont want unnecessary zeroes,,

thanx..

i hope you dont get steamed at ppl who dont appreciate what you do..

and spoil it for those of us who like your work..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Can you post a screen capture?
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
this is it.. also, notice the "spb menu"

maybe i need to make the top calendar line smaller..maybe the clock smaller--somehow

thanx for looking..
[Windows Mobile Themes] ryomahino:
I second that Nagrom Nniuq say, maybe you need to change your politics, and "request donation" not sell "your product" because everybody here help you with their support (what about all these people that send you videos and give you the sprites) to make this "product" better. Maybe you need to reconsider this.

Help

i was trying to install your software to use with throttle launch...However marsaware seems not to recognize the Manila.wpl (its showing the defaults) when i try to change it in layout. Its in the file where u said to put it, I have tried this 10 times...pls help the other two scroll downs have the information displayed correctly...
[Windows Mobile Themes] jtoyz2:
thanks Rumball i will try this now
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
This is unbelievably beautiful... i'm having such a great time watching Isolated T-Storms go on and off like a lil boy :)

amazing work.. and fits really well into my UL theme. thank you so much.

Hi!

how can I remove this popup after soft-reset?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ahhh ok. Those two tray icons you have in the bottom right hand corner are shrinking your today screen and that's why UltimateLaunch icons are getting cut off. I guess your options are to disable those tray icon programs (maybe not an option), or I believe there is a utility out there that can hide these. I believe I saw it here on XDA Developers but don't recall where.

As for the SPB Menu...go to Start>Settings>System>SPB Mobile Shell. Next, select "Today" tab. Under "Right softkey" change it from SPB Menu to what ever else you want to assign to the right softkey.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
You should have a directory structure that looks like

Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel\Themes and then in that directory you should see the "Manila" folder (along with "Default"). Inside that folder you should see all the theme files, including Manila.wpl. If not...you didn't place the files in the folders mentioned in the instructions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See the following post by the hourly-fix developer at pixel.citadel.org

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
All...I've updated the trial animated icon sets to remove the annoying message. The trial message is more discrete now so they should be more useable. I've also updated the donation policy; Senior members on XDA who would like to use my icons can simply PM me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
When I tap the Temperature frame and go to the new current conditions window, if I hit the arrow key to go to next, it continues to overlay what was currently on the screen and soon becomes unreadable. Have I done something wrong in getting 5.1 setup correctly? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
mine was doing that also.. at this point, i was overall confused and started over.

this problem didnt come up again..

i'm pretty sure that isnt the fix, but mine worx fine now..
[Windows Mobile Themes] mlalahoi:
A couple of things I learned while getting this to work

First, Rumball, you Freaking Rock. This has given me a new phone. Second, over the past couple of days and more than a couple of hard resets I was having some problems that I noticed other people were also having. My solutions are below in no particular order, some of this is gleaned from other posts of course.

1. The problem of not having temps show up in Weather Panel regardless of what you change the font to in manila.wpl: THis was caused in my device from trying to display non-unicode characters (I live in China and have CE-Start installed). GO to settings>system>regional settings and make sure you have one of the English language regions selected. This will fix any problems you are having with date display on the calendar page as well.

2. Spb Diary plugin is HUGE: As Rumball suggested, go into Ultimate Launch Configurator, click display tab and set fixed plug-in height to 267 pixels.

3. Ultimate Launch freezes your device and you hard reset it AGAIN: First, you may not have to hard reset. Plug your phone into your computer and soft-reset it, it should start an activesync connection. Ultimate launch just disables the touchscreen and keys when it freezes, you can prove this by watching the screen, it will go a little dark after S2U2 kicks on. Once you have an active sync established you should have a few minutes to browse to the ultimatelaunch.ini file using your PC and take out all the references to programs you don't have. The most likely cuplrit is that you didn't properly install XIAMultiTheme. Remove all those references and soft-reset your device. You should be able to get it going and try again without hard-resetting.

4. XIAMultiTheme is probably what's giving a lot of users problems here.

A. After you follow Rumball's instructions for pasting in the theme files, open the XMT settings and select his themes as he describes, also make sure you have "default" selected at the default launcher on the first tab, then click Apply.

B. next make sure the paths to the themes are selected in the paths tab, then go to Today tab and set the themes as he describes, click Apply.

C. then go to the Install tab and click install today plugin. Soft reset.

D. THEN install UltimateLaunch as described, but

don't

enable it as a today plugin yet. With a blank today screen open the UL COnfigurator. Select any tab then tap Change. in the new screen tap "new" and select Today Plugin. Scroll through the list of plugins, if the XIAMultiTheme-XX plugins don't show up, you didn't install XMT properly and loading UL will lock your device. Now is also a good time to make sure that there are no calls to any other programs you don't have installed. IF any of this is not right, GO back to the beginning and try again.

Sorry if this overly-long post is too reduntant, hopefully a few unecessary hard-resets can be avoided! Thanks again to Rumball and the others who have onctributed mightily to all of this.

P.S. Send the guy a couple of bucks for all his work, think how much cheaper this is than buying a new Touch Diamond ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hmmm...I'll take a look. What arrow key are you talking about? The ones along the top to go to the next city...or the big arrow in the bottom right to go to the next day?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
Do you mean completely uninstalling everything and start all over again? Or just delete the manila theme and then reinstall it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Thanks for contributing with some great instructions. I'll link to this post in the UltimateLaunch instructions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
both arrows. Funny thing is when I run it as a stand alone today plugin it works perfectly, but when I use in as a plugin in ThrottleLauncher is where is see the issues. I'll keep messing around with it and see if I can figures something out as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I run WeatherPanel inside Ultimate Launch and can't recreate the problem. Does the same thing happen when you click on the temperature on the main screen as well as on the forecast screen (the one with the icons along the side that you get to when you click on the center weather icon)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
Yeah it happens from both the main screen and the forecast screen. It just overwrites what was previously on the screen to the point it becomes unreadable. I'll keep playing with ThrottleLauncher to see if I can figure something out. If so, I'll post it. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
Question

By chance, is there any way of making the detailed view open from the extended forecast page instead of tapping on the temperature from the main or forecast page?
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
thanx very much .. you saw my prob and of course your fix worked..

I have tried to install thumbcal to storage card.. no matter how i uninstall,

delete all folders etc. then re-install, it installs on device--not on storage

card..

thanx for your help..

edit.. i ended up Hard reset.. started over.. im thinking that all may be fixed
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
hey rumball. great theme!!! im going to purchase weatherpanel just because of it. one question. on some of my cities i get no animated weather on the current forecast. theyre in different state (Ok) as opposed to texas. it just shows a thumbnail up by the temp. is that what you were talking about some weather conditions not displaying?

nevermind, they showed up now. weird, that it did that right after i posted this:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Just a note...WeatherPanel is kinda like freeware now...go to the pixel.org link to download the latest copy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Oh ya...tapping on the the icons in the extended forecast page will also pull up the detailed view. I can remove the direct link from the main page if people are interested.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
THX one more time

Thx for Update 5.1...

Still very Good.... All works for me...

Rumball, you have my thanks and gratitude...

I make a bootle of Wine with Your Name...:p

City Codes

Maybe I am to silly but I haven't found a list of the whole city for the weather panel.

Eg I want to add a location in greece, lets say athen. The search result in the panel is empty.

br,

Chris

Found it at www.weather.com
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
ok, so i downloaded the other copy you linked to. but, i still get the trial message showing up. do i have to pay for that to go away. or could it be because i kept my settings and files when i uninstalled the program? secondly, you mentioned that you could download the entire animated set if ur a senior member. is that not what was downloaded in the zip? thanks

got it now. thanks for the pm
[Windows Mobile Themes] metzen79:
Rumball,

How did you get your BatteryStatus to move up? Mine goes to the bottom, and so it messes with UL buttons. I can't find options to adjust its position.

Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Hey Rumball, quick suggestions/request:

For the tab that shows you the graphs of the humidity, percepitation, etc, is there any way to allow more room for the name of the city like you did in the detailed view? Under cities with long names (I have Los Angeles and San Francisco), the name takes two lines and covers some parts of the graphs. If its too much work, thats cool though.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
so, dont know if this should be posted here. but, could you give instructions on getting weather images or the radar to work. i assigned it through the settings, but it keeps coming up empty
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
i am having problems w/thumbcal.

altho it works fine from "programs", it gives me error when accessed

the "calendar" tab..

rumball said to install thumbcal to SD card..

i did a complete hard re-set , then installed to Storage card..

i still get this error "thumbcal cannot be opened. ... components cannot be found....reinstall or restore" .. same error message..

i check where it installed to.. it Always installs in device programs instead of storage programs..

what can i do for this?

thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok, if ThumbCal refuses to install on your storage card then perform the following:

On you PPC, go to Program Files\rlToday\Calendar. In there you should see a file called skin.xml. Open this with a simple text editor (note pad for example).

In TWO locations in this file you will see the text

<OnClick File="\Storage Card\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe" />

Change both of these lines to point to the correct install location:

<OnClick File="\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe" />

Soft-reset and then your calendar should work fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
There are instructions posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2416705&highlight=radar#post2416705
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I don't think it is BatteryStatus...I think it is your PocketPlus plugin that is hogging all your space and pushing BatteryStatus to the bottom. Try to see if you can adjust PocketPlus size.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
thanks rumball now just to get the doppler radar to show
[Windows Mobile Themes] shadowmike:

I just added your Weather panel theme to my Weather panel and I have to say that it looks really good. Is it possible to make the theme in different sizes or make it that when you click for the radar and other tabs to appear they appear above the weather not below? I'm only asking because since my pocket plus 4 isn't at the very top of the screen, the bottom part of this weather panel theme gets cut off. I can't see the radar or update button anymore.

his is going to sound really stupid I'm sure how can this just be integrated into HTC home? I really have no idea what steps need to be done to install this.. If I need another program to run it what do I use?

Edit: to save myself from being razzed.. I installed Ultimate Launcher but have no idea how to get anything here to work. I'm definatly not a noob by any means but.. I'm lost that's for sure!!

Any version for Pocket Weather? WP and PW themes tend to be used interchangeably with some minor modifications...I love this but since dev work ceased on Weather panel I've moved on to Pocket Weather and would really love to see a compatible version there...

Man, I do not know what it is with you balls ...

First greatbal had his great Diamond theme for MS 2.1. And now you ... holy, smokes! This is just, exactly what I have always wanted my PPC Phone to look like!!!

I will say this, it is a long and evolved process setting everything up. I'm only through phoneAlarm, Weather Panel (first version), Ultimate Launcher ... haven't even applied the them to UL yet, let alone the other stuff.

You know, it would be great if you had a set of instructions, check list, extended education course ... something to carry us slackers through the installation.

BTW, where do I leave the donations?

Geez, if it were a mongoose it would have bit me. Beer money on the way
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:

Password is "Rumball" (see first post)

Hi partner... I ave a question. I have a tilt and I do have serious problems at home (MOM kind of Controller) any how I decide to buy a separate phone to hide it from her and I was wondering if is possible to link both numbers to one unit (tilt). To have my MOM calling me on one line and my friend on the other. If you know anyone who can help me out I will very thankfull.

Hi guys, how can i remove the words "trial" from the program? Idiot me went to purchase program before i knew it was free. Currently, my animations just play for 2-3 seconds and it hangs for a second and so on. Why is that so? thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] devdarshan:
I have the setup almost complete - but have a few queries...

a) I need to change the Font on the Top Bar - where I mention the lable for the Tab I am on - I can see the option for Font Size which I keep at 14or12 - but how can I make it 'Bold' or change the Font? The field for Font is there but shows no options to select. DO I need to use one of the Windows Font name? Like 'Arial Narrow Bold' etc?

b) For the Programs List - as of now I am using Program Icons - can I use my personal icons? I have a few Glassy Icons which I love. Do they have to be .ico? or can they be .png?

Thanks guys...

Dev
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
To upgrade to 5.1 you need to perform steps 1, 2 and 9. So you need to redownload the theme files (step 1), install the theme files (step 2), and then also install the two new alert images that are included in the theme zip file (step 9).

how do u instal xiamultitheme?? i download it but when i run it,it says theres no application associated with it

please help

I love these animated icons, but do you have them larger than the ones in the trial pack? I have a VGA device and your large icons are just to small.

I'd happily donate if they where bigger.

I have everything working and the theme is great, but there is one thing i miss from my old Phatfinger II and III themes. On the Phatfinger themes, on the main page you can see the five day forecast with small icons. I know you did this theme with Maila in mind and tying to make it as accurate as possible, but can anybody alter this to add a row of five day forecast , perhaps below the city name on the main page?

screenshot of Phatfinger theme enclosed.
