I have it installed in main memory and the images on my storage card. I can't get the big images to show. What did I do wrong? Also when I go to the weather tab it just says Loading Weather Page and just stays like that. What happeneD?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
In the WeatherPanel setup, select the Phatfinger theme as your "Theme" and "Layout" and then "Manila WP Icons" as your "icons". However I'm not sure if the sizing of my icons will be compatable so they may not be positioning correctly or may be too small/large.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
By "Weather Tab" I'm assumming you mean you are using a tabbed today plugin such as PocketPlus, ThrottleLauncher, or UltimateLaunch and that you have the Marsware WeatherPanel application assigned as a today plugin for that tab.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JukEboXAuDiO:
I installed the trial ones to see how well they worked. And they worked pretty well. I then replaced them with the un animated ones but now all I see in the animated ones. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Did you install the animated ones onto your storage card? where are the unanimated one installed? if they are in the weatherpanel folder on the device, go into weather panel settings and go to the display tab and reselect manilla icons.

If the animated ones are on your storage card your registry is still telling weatherpanel to get them from there
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Hey. I'm using your theme with TL now...I couldn't resist.

I had it on my UL originally when you first came out with it.

How do I get those updated animated icons from Sep 3?

Your work and TL are just kicking ass on everyone!!!

Thanks

What I'm saying may not be totally related, so sorry for hijacking the thread.

I'm from Singapore. I managed to setup the radar, but I found out that the urls of the traffic camera shots are always different. So after I managed to get the very first jpg for each location in, I will not be able to get anymore updates, because the file name has already changed. One of the location jpg is shown below:

http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/trafficsmart/images/9703_1241_20080910124224_f16762.jpg

Is there anyway to get over this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] torremitsu:
This is probably the best set-up i've seen, but I do have to say it was a pain in the arse to get it working. Definitely not for noobs. Thanks for sharing rumball. To all that got this working, kick the man a few bucks for the effort :)

I'm stuck

Hi there,

Fist, i have to thank you for the great thread you've posted.

Second, I have done all the steps through step 8.... I'm stuck right there, I don't know where this "Weatherpanels Options" is...

I don't have any idea how to get to this folder, please help me out here...

Thanks you so much
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Go to Start>Settings>Today>Items. High-light weatherpanel in your list of today plugins and then select options.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hmmm...WeatherPanel only works with fixed URLs. If you know the format of the filenames you may be able to write a mortscript that will change the URL stored in the registry and/or radar.txt file at a fixed time interval.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Hawes380:
Question...

Thank you so much for the quick reply....

I have another question... Do I have to disable the touchflo in order to get this working for me? with the touchflo i can't get anything in the tody's screen, and when i disable it it allows the weatherpanel to show up.

and how much do i have to pay for the full version ? thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
By touchflo do you mean the TouchFLo3D setup in ThrottleLauncher? WeatherPanel can only be active in one place at a time...so if you have WeatherPanel active in ThrottleLauncher then it should be disabled on the today screen (unchecked in Start>Settings>Today>Items).
[Windows Mobile Themes] juju-35:
Not working any more... :(

Hello,

This used ot work fine for me (Big icons purchased, worked inside UL and TL).

But now I cannot get Weather Panel to connect to download the weather data at all. The main screen just shows the update icon on top right and a menu on top left where I cna hcose the cities "update" or "settings".

I do update and I see the net connection happening, but then nothing!

If I go in settings to the bout tab, I get the following by running Diagnostics:

Connection Test: Not connected [2]

Cache Connection: FALSE

Connection SUCCESS

Auth: Fail

I guess it is trying to conenct twice, then seems to succeed to connect, but what is the "Auth: Fail" message?

I really want my weather back!

Thanks

Juju
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
From Rumball's first Page
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Is this happening only over GPRS? Or does it also occur when trying to update over a wifi and activesync connection?

Try reloading the today plugin. If you are using the TouchFlo3D setup in ThrottleLauncher, simply click on the "Reload Today" button on the setup tab. Otherwise go into Start>Settings>Today>Items and then click on OK in the top right in order to force a reload of the today plugins. This can kick-start WP updates again.

Just thought id drop back in and give an update:

Im still having update issues all the time with the new dll, and now im noticing a bigger problem. I thought it was a fluke the first few times but since my last post ive had my phone lock up about 15 times where i have to soft reset. Im still using the 1 line setup with the stock today screen. This application is amazing but it might be more problems then its worth. I mean it looks good, but it doesnt update and it locks my phone down sometimes. Youve done a great job with this weather panel theme, its too bad weather panel is causing problems. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried to do a search but there is too much content in this thread to read all of it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
WeatherPanel has been a very stable program. I don't know of anyone having problems with it. I'm surprised to hear your having issues with it...
[Windows Mobile Themes] snachez:
Hey, lovely work - but unfortunately all they asapload links are erroring-out at the moment. Is there any other mirror available or can someone please post the trial files elsewhere if the have them. :) Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Do you have WeatherPanel set to "AutoConnect" for updates? Try setting it to AutoUpdate but not AutoConnect. This way WeatherPanel will not actively establish (or hangup) an internet connection...but rather just use it when it is available. I'm wondering whether WeatherPanel is closing the internet connection on your device while another process in the background is trying to download something (such as e-mail updates)...and then the other process hangs because of what WeatherPanel did. Just a thought since WeatherPanel locking up devices is not a commonly reported problem.

Whaddup rumball,

your Weather Panel theme is off the chain yo!:D You did a really good job with it! Its the best I have ever seen.

I donated earlier today to get the large icons. I hope its enough. Good job!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] hotrod101:
Hello everyone.

I just thought that I would post something that I figured out about WeatherPanel and the animated icons - related to update problems

When I first installed - I installed with continuous loop animation and I had a very difficult time to get the weather to update, no matter what I did.

I then removed the continous looping animated weather icons and went with the regular icons and voila, No problems updating at all. I believe that the problem was that the continous loop was demanding too many resourses from the device to allow for it to connect to update the weather.

I have been using it now for several weeks with no problems updating the weather. I am sure that this problem does not exist on all devices as some are better then others; however, it was a problem on my touch elf which unfortunately does not have a very fast processor or as much ram compared to others.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sd73ta:
I am having the same problem with the connect it says downloading then says "weather panel has no data for this city please connect to the internet to download updated data" then it goes back into "weather panel is downloading weather" and repeat. ive unistalled reinstalled. i have the up to date weatherpanel. try different cities. tried the default layout. this is on my tilt with ibi rom. oh and ive also tried to download with wifi. any help because i use this app daily
[Windows Mobile Themes] jr5416:

[Windows Mobile Themes] pmdss:
Hi there, 1º of all thx for this app its great.

Have anyone else having this problem?

Thx in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] peligon1:
hi there can you direct me to get a copy of your winsheild wiper animated theme please i am trying to port it out to my iphone thank you so much
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrhocuspocus:
Im not sure if i did this right. I now have "Auto update Data" ticked and "Establish Connection" unticked. I just changed it so hopefully i can see if it makes a difference. Also having "establish connection" unticked... wont that give me even less chance of having a successful update? Ill know and post back in a couple days. It does sound like a good guess.

Also someone mentioned having more success with updates by removing the small looping animated icons, is there any truth to that? I cant see how having an animated icon could stop an update when your phone is on and especially not see it affecting anything while its in sleep mode. Either way if it is confirmed working ill give it a shot. Are the small static icons in the first post?
[Windows Mobile Themes] hotrod101:
There is truth in it for me. What I can tell you is that I noticed that with the looping animated icons, it must have been really using my devices memory or something, Taking all it had to run the animation. I noticed it by doing this. When you change pages from the main page to the menue page (Taping the centre of the screen) before the animation starts on the menue page click update weather really quick before the animation starts. If you are quick enough you will see the update button push and it might just update the weather. This is how I discovered what was causing the problem for me.

Also, what really confirmed it was that when it was a clear sunny day - that weather icon was not a looping icon and voila- No problems updating weather at all, whenever I wanted. Check it out. Look for a city that always has clear sunny day and see if you can update the weather when looking at that city.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hotrod101:
Or you can just download the static Icon set and replace the animated icons - to see if it works for you now! really easy to test and easy to switch back to your animated icons if this didn't work for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sd73ta:
Mine was working fine. just stopped for no reason. it isnt the looped icons because ive tried the default weather them and thats not updating either
[Windows Mobile Themes] peligon1:
i know you guys are busy but is it possible to direct me to a link for the winshield wiper animation theme that is not .wpa extension... i am a huge fan of Rumballs creativity and outstanding work
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The only "windshield wiper theme" that I created is the one that is posted on the first page of this thread...and it is in the WeatherPanel .wpa format (MNG). I have not released the animations in any other graphical formats (I tried GIF but they just end up looking like crap because of GIF's 256 colour limitation and lack of transparency support).

...therefore...if you want to port this over to the iPhone the first thing you will need to do is code up an MNG rendering library for the iphone...

Are you able to give me a few pointers on mortscript so that I can give it a try?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The animations are MNG files...they only have a .wpa extension because that's what WeatherPanel looks for.

You never said whether http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2628924&postcount=869 worked for you or not.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
once and for all.

whoever has the problem of incorrect icons showing instead of rumball's ones..

1. download this registry file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/145306938/wpiconreg.reg.html

2. edit it using notepad and instead of program files\manila wp icons write the directory you have your icons in.

3. download http://rapidshare.com/files/130331161/TaskMan2.9Regedit_and_links.rar

open the rar and take out TaskMgr 2.exe.. put it in your device and run it. on the right upper part of the prog click the little down arrow and choose the last option in the menu (regedit). now click the bottom left icon (with the yellow lightning on it) and choose the last option in the menu (Associate with registry files).

4. go to your weather panel settings and in Display choose the Manila THEME and the Manila.wpl LAYOUT and the DEFAULT icon set.

5. go and run the reg file you downloaded before and apply it.

6. everything should work perfectly now. remember that you need to have the manila wp icon set in your storage card and the Manila theme in your Marsware/weatherpanel/themes dir.

enjoy
[Windows Mobile Themes] peligon1:
hey Rumball what would it cost to have your Diamond Theme files for the iphone thanxx so much
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking (and really this sort of one-on-one should be through Private Messages...rather than posting in this thread). I know from your posts here and on weatherpanel.net that you have been trying to port the theme over to the iPhone...have you been able to code up something on the iPhone that will render MNG animations? If so then you can test out the trial icons from the the link in the first post. If they work in your iPhone application then you can post a donation and you'll receive the links to the non-trial icons...however I'd ask that you do not re-distribute my MNG-animations but rather point iPhone users back to this forum to download them.

If your iPhone application can not render MNG animations then I'm not sure how I can help. You asked earlier in this thread if I can send you the icons in PNG format. I'm not aware of PNG being able to support animations. GIF doesn't really work either since the GIF standard only supports 256 colours (vs >16.7 million of MNG) and no real transparency (pixels are either 100% transparent or 100% opaque). If you want to download a GIF set of these animations you can find them at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2182530&postcount=4

Is WeatherPanel updating for you again?

If not I'm really not sure what more to suggest besides what's already been given in this forum:

1) Make sure you are running storyr's latest WeatherPanel 2009

2) Try a different city (a major city that you know will have weather updates...such as New York City)

3) Try wifi/activesync/gprs.

4) Set weatherpanel to manual udpate, connect to the internet, the try and update weather.

have you extracted the large folder to your desktop....then copied the contents into the large folder you extracted from the diamond zip into you're icons folder?...I had the same problem
[Windows Mobile Themes] jr5416:
u mean extract the large animated icons i purchsed to my desktop and import them to my large icons folder one by one
[Windows Mobile Themes] wyzepro:
you dont have to do them one by one....extract them to a folder named large...then select all of them drag a box over them or go to file and select all or contol a something...and drag the whole batch at once...but yes you'll have to do a bit of the work and you'll get what you desire..whatever you do dont replace the large folder just add from one to the other..it helps if you have it on your storage card and you're synced up...only takes about 3 min

hope that helps

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
There really are only about 3 things that can cause this:

1) You did not install the icons in the correct folder. Can you atleast tell me whether or not you can see "Manila WP Icons" as a choice when chosing the Icon Set to use in WeatherPanel? If you can not see it then you do not have the icons placed in the correct folder as outlined in the instructions. You should have a "WeatherPanel" folder in the root of your storage card. Inside that folder you need an "icons" folder. Inside the icons folder drag and drop the "Manila WP Icons" folder that you download in post 1. You need to also obviously select "Manila WP Icons" in WeatherPanel setup. When you download the trial (or non-trial LARGE animated icons) you will see that the file is the same directory structure (Manila WP Icons\LARGE).

2) If you can select Manila WP Icons as the Icon set to use in the WeatherPanel settings then WeatherPanel can atleast see the icon folder...so good. Next...if you are using a non-WWE device then some people have indicated that they need to edit the .wpl file to change some lines. See post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2526884&highlight=CUSTOM#post2526884 for details.

3) Some people have also indicated that deleting the MOON folder inside the LARGE folder solved problems with displaying icons. (Note that you don't actually need the MOON folder as WeatherPanel has the moon icons embedded inside the application anyway)

Better to delete the existing ones and replace with the new purchased ones, if the existing ones are .png i think the take priority, so just delete all the large icons from the large folder and paste your new ones into that large folder

[Windows Mobile Themes] rx7freak:
Mr. Rumball,

How do you fare with battery life? I accomplished your UI steps last night, and used the links you sent this morning for the full animated weather icons...I have noticed though this setup drains the battery in a hurry. Without using my phone, nor having the backlight illuminated, during the course of a 45 minute motorcycle ride I went from 100% to 73%. I was in the Tulsa metro area (3G) with nothing but the cellular radio on. Full disclosure, i've had this phone (and battery) for about a year now, so it's not brand new. Is this normal from your experience?

Josh
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Then do what i did rename your existing folder with the large icons to "LARGE1" and then copy over the new large icons and they will become the "LARGE" folder that way you still have the first set on your phone and if the new one don't work just change the name back to "LARGE"
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
I did notice a little battery drain but that is expected as the animated ones are gifs and they require more memory to run thus making the phone and battery work harder, as a result i only use the single play animated icons for weather panel
