To change the font and/or text along the top of the UltimateLaunch pages, please note that these are actually mini XIAMultiTheme skins. So go to your \Program Files\XIAMultiTheme\themes folder and you will see a list of folders...one for each tab of my UltimateLaunch setup. Inside each you'll find a skin.xml file which you can open up with a text editor. The second or third line of the file has the title information...something like:

<Font size="18" weight="normal" font="Helvetica LT Light" />

So go through each of the folders and edit the font size, name, and weight to your liking. Note that for the Calendar page, this is actually handled by rlToday...so you'll find that skin.xml file inside \Program Files\rlToday\Calendar

For your Program icons, yes you can change them. If you are using PocketPlus then the SPB PocketPlus forum has a whole load of icon sets for you to chose from. I've decided to get rid of PocketPlus from my UltimateLaunch setup and simply use UL's built-in program launcher...does the same thing without having to load another today plugin.

i turned on phone today and got this cut-off on top..

i dont think it was like that yesterday..

i reset and nothing changed..

edit:: another reset and the display isnt chopped..

is this a matter of resources? just uses too much?

also, how do i get rid of the extra 'zeroes' ?

thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bob_55:
Very Good and clean weather icons... I'm using it in my VGA screen with Ken's layouts, Many thank's man.... ;) I don't have a good program to display the gif file (does someone have a link for a free one) i would love to show how it's really looks on a VGA screen.....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The chopping off along the right-hand side is a bug in WM6/6.1. Sometimes when you switch to landscape and back to portrait while the today screen is displayed the OS seems to forget to redraw the portion of the screen where the scroll bar was.

To remove the extra zeroes in the title...go to \Program Files\XIAMultiTheme\themes\Manila-Home. Open skin.xml in a text editor and edit the format string to how you want the date displayed.

For example, the default is: format="dddd, dd MMM yy". This displays "Wednesday, 06 Aug 08". changing the format string to "dddd, d MMM yy" will cause the date to be displayed as "Wednesday, 6 Aug 08", and "dddd, d MMM y" would be "Wednesday, 6 Aug 8"

thanx very much..

You should try creating an animated png file, that would look better, not sure what your using for a screen grab, but mng file would be best.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bob_55:
Well that's not the point.... What I wanted is a good free program (like Screen Capture who can made an animation on the Pocket pc) after that I can show the resulted... I don't know if that clear (you know english is not my first language)
[Windows Mobile Themes] baldeagle:
Sorry, as far as I know I've never found a free program that can do what you want.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bob_55:
Anyway Thank's baldeagle... ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] devdarshan:
Thanks Rumball - exactly the lead I was looking for. rltoday - I am quite comfortable with in terms of basic coding...now I can try my hand on the UL.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
when i slide to unlock, the next screen is "programs" screen..

i think its the "spb menu" ..

i didnt intentionally change anything..and the today settings only have the UL

checked

can i fix this?

thanx

Go to your SPB Mobile Shell settings (Start>Settings>System/Spb Mobile Shell) and make sure that "Show the Now Screen when device wakes up" is not selected.

Im not understand how to install this... here are the instructions on the site..

What and were is the configurator?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bizflawless:
also on the phone alarm...on their website, do I download the pro cab or lite cab? I installed the pro and then my bluetooth stopped working on from my computer to my phone, so i uninstalled it not sure if that was the right file..so which one is it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
did you also d/l the companion zip on rumball's page?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
What is refered to on the XIAMultiTheme site as "Configurator" is what I refer to in step 3 as "XIAMultiTheme configuration utility" which is "XIAMultiThemeConfiguration.exe" file on your PPC (located where ever you placed it when you installed XIAMultiTheme).

Run it.

Go to Today tab and configure themes 0-4 as specified. Click "Apply these themes".

Next go to Paths tab and make sure the three paths are set correctly and click "Apply this Configuration".

Finally go to Install tab and click on "Install Today Plugin"
[Windows Mobile Themes] bizflawless:
no, is it in his first post of this thread? I just looked again and didnt find it.

also...where can i download these at?

5. Install SPB PocketPlus and SPB Diary

Rumball,could you refresh link to animated weather icons for weather panel?those which play once and then stills

From Post 1:

While the Diamond WeatherPanel Theme and Static Icon sets are free, being a senior member on XDA or a donation is required to download the full version of the animation icons. After donating at PayPal you'll get an e-mail (to your account associated with PayPal) providing the download link. Please allow up to 24 hours.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Version 5.2 is now available

- Added finger-friendly icons to control radar images (zoom in/out, play, next, previous, etc). Tapping and holding on the radar image will bring up the control icons

- Corrected a bug on 6-day forecast page

- Resized small icon set (included). Make sure you install the included icon set or else they will no longer display correctly with theme v5.2

- Ensured that extra space is available for city names on all pages
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Thanks for noting this. Attached is the non-repeating FOG icon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mossburg44:
the link for the new icon set; is it the full or static version
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The icon set that is included with the version 5.2 release are the small icon set which are always static. Only the "LARGE" icons have animated versions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mossburg44:
thanks, BTW what are some of the updates youre thinking about bringing to the program?
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
this is probly stupid question and i aint tryin to work ya.. ::

is it just too much work to put this into a single cab file w/all the settings ?

seems like it would be easier to do that than maintain thread so much And

answer the same questions over and over..

also hard as i try, when i change panels, often times the screen wouldnt

fully redraw--even after fresh rom flash. i installed almost all apps to

to device. WP was installed to storage.

does it make any difference where things are installed?

when this is completely configured, can we revert back to former today

screen? then come back and everything will work..

i guess i'm asking if we can have multi-today screen options..

thanx

i can seem to get the animated weather to work....the icons are small and is right behind the temperature...what did i do wrong? i cant post a screenshot right now
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I've been thinking about creating a cab file for both my weatherpanel theme and my ultimatelaunch setup...as you say...hopefully this would reduce the number of repeat questions.

I believe that typically today plugins are recommended to be installed in the device's main memory to speed up their load time. As for the screen redraw, the first time a tab is displayed after a PPC reboot it can take some time for UltimateLaunch to load in the today plugins. I find this to particularily be the case for the Calendar tab where rlToday and SPB Diary need to get loaded. On my Tytn-II this can take about 5 seconds for some reason. After the initial load, however, the redraw when switching tabs is immediate.

If you are referring to the very right hand side of the screen (where the scroll bar appears) this is a WM6.1 bug.

For the most part, yes. You can simply disable the UltimateLaunch plugin from your Today screen and enable other plug-ins. When you want to go back to this setup then re-enable UltimateLaunch and disable all other plug-ins.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Did you install the animated icon set which is a seperate download from the WeatherPanel Theme v5.2 file?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Titek:

WP displaying the wrong Animation?

Hey, does any one have a problem with Weather Panel displaying the wrong animation?

I always get the Moon Animation displayed when its only around 5 pm adn then I'd have to update the weather for it to display the correct current weather animation..

is there a fix for that? or am I the only one having this problem?

Thanks Rumball.. Great Work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
You need to unzip the files per step 7 in the installation instructions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See this thread here: http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=193&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

From what I gather this is kinda a weather.com issue in that the Marsware WeatherPanel application retrieves the weather forecast from weather.com. This weather service also provides the icon # to display. So the application is simply displaying what weather.com told it to display for that time period. If you refresh then you get the "current' weather rather than the "forecast" weather for that time period.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Alkhal:
Man how did I miss this for soo long?.. Any chance for VGA? If not thats fine this still looks soo awesome.. BTW I think I am Senior Member what do I do to get the Icons?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rainabba:
This has got to be one of the most useful applications for a mobile device that I've seen (aside from various email and calendar apps). In combination with ThrottleLauncher 0.9.3 and my tweaked TFlo3D theme, I'm in heaven. The ability to define http links to images is my favorite feather (live weather and traffic images), but it's slightly crippled and I'm wondering if you've plans to address this yet. Right now the images aren't being scaled so I can't see much of them (for example, various images from here: http://www.az511.com/CameraImages/index.php ).

If I continue to use this app for more than a week, I'll consider it permanent and donate. Most don't last that long on my phone :)

Thanks for all the work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Thanks rainabba. I'll investigate whether there is a way to have the image default to "fit-to-screen". In the mean time, if you tap and hold on any radar image a control panel displays where you can zoom in/out and fit to screen.

problem

Hi,

Great work, this is the best weather app ever! One problem, though, when i tap one of the side buttons (weather details, for example) it opens up the details, but only for like two seconds, afterwards reverting back to the simple view. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks alot, sandro27:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rainabba:
I'm amazed further still. I had tried tapping, double-tapping, and long-press, just not long enough. Understanding this behavior, I would personally prefer "fit to screen" as defualt, but that's not much of an issue in light of these controls. More a luxury (like the entire app isn't already). :)

What I don't think I'm seeing, but WOULD be nice, is animated GIF playback. I have the following image setup in one of the panes, but it's not animated:

http://www.azfamily.com/weather/images/CountyRadar.gif

What language(s)/sdk are you using, and are you looking for a(nother) co-developer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The radar images do not support GIF playback but what you can do is setup WeatherPanel to update the radar image every 30 minutes. Then when you are in radar image view you can tap and hold to bring up the controls and then click the play button. This will run through sequentially all the image snapshots...effectively creating the GIF you just linked to. Give it a try. You can change how long the movie is by adjusting the update rate and purge interval. For example, setting the images to update every 30 minutes and purge every 12 hours would cause WeatherPanel to save the last 24 radar images. Clicking the play button causes WP to flip through these 24 radar images in series.

And just a note...I'm not the developer for the WeatherPanel application...I just put together the Diamond skin and Diamond animations for WeatherPanel. WeatherPanel was actually developed by some guy that went by "Martian" and disappeared about 3 years ago. Currently the application has been kept alive by a developer named "Storyr" over at weatherpanel.net. Unfortunately he doesn't actually have the source code but has been going in and hex-editing the dll's to perform minor updates (such as the moon phase tables for each year)

Upkeep of the WeatherPanel application is performed at http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/index.php?sid=fa3180ce65859f6fd41f18742405e37c
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Strange...those buttons simply open up a popup window that close when you push your OK hardware button or click on the OK button in the top right corner of the screen.

How are you running the WeatherPanel application? Are you running it inside of ThrottleLauncher? I've tried it as a stand-alone today plug-in, inside SPB Pocket Plus tab, and inside an UltimateLaunch tab and can not recreate this.

Very nice tip and functionality. Thank you. Understood on the rest. Thanks for the theme still. I love the look of the Diamond, but it doesn't feel 'Enterprise' to me though so I'm modding a Throttle Launcher config and between your theme and WeatherPanel, my setup is all the more complete now. :)

rumball,

any chance you can make a version of the wp theme with the 5 day forecast with icons on the main page like phatfinger theme?

the theme is truly better than the real one :D great waork rumball,,

and can you please remobe the green 'trial' thing from the animated icons..?? it occupied the 4 corners of the screen and it bugs a lott.. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ya sure, that's easy enough to do. The skin will have to be taller. Right now it is 200 pixels tall. Would 240 or 260 pixels be too large for your screen space?
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
no, that is not too large, probably prefer 240 over 260 but basically i have as much real estate as your screenshot on your sig.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply, Rumball. I'm running this program inside of SPB pocket plus 4 on a Sprint Touch with Windows Mobile 6.1. I installed everything according to your detailed instructions but this problem still persists. Thanks again and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sandro27:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I just tried it myself inside a tab with SPB PocketPlus 4.02 and it worked fine. What happens if you disable all today plugins and just have WeatherPanel on your today screen? Do the pop-ups work? I'm not quite sure what could be going on in your machine...what could be automatically shutting the pop-up windows.
[Windows Mobile Themes] powerintake:
Thanks..worked with TL

excellent work...keep up
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok...here's a test release. Now when chosing your layout you can chose between "Manila" (the existing layout) and "Manila-5day" which has a 5 day forecast along the bottom. Clicking on the day will bring up the detailed forecast for that day.

This alternate layout is 240 pixels wide and 240 pixels tall. So 40 pixels taller than the existing layout. You'll need to make sure your today screen has sufficient space to see the 5 day forecast along the botom

If you want to try this out all you really need from the zip file is the Manila-5day.wpl and the Forecast-5day.wpx files copied into the Themes\Manila folder and also copy the "Manila WP Icons\SMALL" directory over into your icon folder. Then, in WeatherPanel setup/config, set the theme to "Manila-5day"

Hope you like it.

Nice Theme but absence (Have not) Large icon 34 ( fair day) :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Oh ya...you're right...I hadn't noticed before...thanks! 34.wpa is missing from the trial version of the icons. They are, however, present in the non-trial version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
Thanks but I have a problem. The five day icons are getting cut off at the very bottom. This even when I disable all today plugins and only load WP as the only plugin. Are there hi/lo beneath the icons? That would be nice. Even if have to expand it to 260 (better yet, make it a second choice for us to choice, one with temps and one without).

Also, another request. Instead of the five days being displayed, can the first one be the current day (forcast) and then the next 4 days?

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I just tried out your layout and got the same result. That's weird. I'm not quite sure why (or how) that refresh icon appears in the top right.

If you add in the individual forecast sections then you don't get the refresh Icon. Don't know why this is the case but you may want to take the attached and play with it. I adjusted the 5-day forecast to begin with the current day (rather than tomorrow as was the case with my previous layout). I've also added the high/low like in yours.

Modified it a little so that it is now down to 240, but overall that works great!! thanks.

Problem on Kaiser

See the picture below. The "main" weather icon has shifted down and to the right. Any solution/ideas?

The 5-day shows up where it is supposed to show. Looks good. I will follow the posts to see if the high and low temperatures can be added like the Phat Phinger theme - that is a good idea.

Will be glad to test on my Kaiser/Tilt when changes have been made.
