Weird...maybe try redownloading (maybe from seperate mirror). If that doesn't work I'll redo and re-upload.

weather panel temp not shown

all great but temp really not shown even I had set few city to display , can you solve this problem ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MOBGangsta184:
I've tried finding this answer but I haven't yet, forgive me if it's been posted but I'm just not finding it, but is there a way to intergrate this with HTC Home? Like make the Weather Tab on HTC Home show Weather panel instead?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Do you mean WeatherPanel is not downloading weather updates? If so, make sure you install the latest version of weatherpanel. Go to the pixel web link I provided and download it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wilderer:
Rumball do you think you could convert the animations into a flashversion? because the new throttlelauncher 093 supports flash animations.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I doubt it. WeatherPanel is a today screen plug-in. You need an application that lets you load today plug-ins into the tabs. Ultimate Launch, ThrottleLauncher, and possibly SPB Mobile Shell Today plug-in lets you do it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
WPA icons are animated PNG (MNG format) with the file extension simply renamed from MNG to WPA. As for GIF, you might be able to use ImageMagick 6.4.2 (freeware). Try "convert 1.mng 1.gif".

If you want these in GIF format I can post a GIF set...though just a note that I tried exporting to GIF and they didn't really look very good...maybe GIF doesn't handle transparency very well... Below is a sample in GIF format:
[Windows Mobile Themes] speed200:
Rumball, any chance of a VGA version of your great work???

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Originally I was going to make a VGA version but the problem was that each frame of animation would be 4x the size of the QVGA version. So the total animation size would grow to over 200 Megs (Right now the QVGA animations are 58 Megs).

So unfortunately at this point I don't plan on making a VGA set.
[Windows Mobile Themes] aih1977:
is there a plugin for mng format for photoshop?

and thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I don't own a copy of PhotoShop so I'm not 100% sure...but looking at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng/mngaped.html it does appear that a freeware plugin for JNG (a variant of MNG) is available. But I'm not sure if WeatherPanel can use JNG animations...
[Windows Mobile Themes] aih1977:
thanks i will try it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nagrom Nniuq:
A .gif set would be awesome! That would incorporate well with the user weather project for S2U2 that has been looking for a nice set of gif icons for a while. Maybe someone there can clean it up from what you call not so good.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See post #267...a GIF example is there. If people find this useable then I can post the complete set.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
yes, please post a gif set.
[Windows Mobile Themes] alainwong:
I had installed the latest version , but this is really can't update only on temp item !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] speed200:
It´s a pitty, many users have VGA devices and wold love to have this work,
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
If there is interest then I can put together a static version of my Diamond WeatherPanel theme for VGA devices (theme would be 480 wide x 400 high - basically double the current size).

Unfortunately for the animations, unless I simply scaled the existing animations up by a factor of 2 (which obviously wouldn't look as good as they could be), making a true VGA version of my animations would require me to start over from scratch. It took me weeks to put together the QVGA animations, and after seeing over 500 downloads of them with no donations I'm not very motivated to start over. Sorry.

V5 Weatherpanel theme problem

Rumball,

Your new animated weatherpanel theme works great, as long as I have only weatherpanel as a plugin. I followed your instructions and wiped away your previous v4 theme, but when I switch to xia multitheme, it displays the old weatherpanel theme instead of the V5 theme. I've searched the registry and all files and can find no trace of the old theme! How is this possible? Maybe you have some suggestions..........
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
My guess would be that you are not using WeatherPanel in your XIA MultiTheme but rather some form of mortscript-based weather xml.
[Windows Mobile Themes] speed200:
If you could put a static version would be nice.

Thanks for your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kpyto:
:) If that really - realise a VGA static version, thanks

i didnt follow your directions exactly..

when i did, it's fine

How to change weather?

Rumball,

Thanks for your reply, it is mscr based weather. How can I change this in XIA to use weatherpanel and your theme instead of the mortscript?
[Windows Mobile Themes] colonel00:
Outstanding work Rumball. Everything looks great aside from one minor bug I can't figure out.

On both the main window and the forcast window, I have a red exclamation (!) point showing up behind the temp. If I tap the temp, I get an error "WeatherPanel: Waiting for storage card... Or invalid layout file". Now, if I move ahead a day to see tomorrows forcast, I can tap the temp and it takes me to the details page with no problems. I can then "back up" to the current conditions details page and the red exclamation is now next to the Dewpoint data.

This is quite an odd little thing. Hopefully it will ring a bell with you on something I may be missing. FYI, this is stand alone on a ultimate launch pane and not with any of the Manila theme setups. If need be, I can come up with some screenshots if it would help.

Also, I just noticed that detail-forcast.wpd is now gone in you latest package.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hmm...I think that exclamation mark is an "extreme weather alert". Since I've never come across these alerts before my theme doesn't handle them at the moment. What city is giving you this weather alert? Maybe I can get the alert on my PPC and then figure out how to handle them.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PPCBANDIT:
Really great icons and theme - thanks!

Rumball - I notice that in the release 5, there 36 icons in both the smaller and the Large set (both animatyed and static). But in your ealier releases from 1 - 4, there were always 48 icons. Does it make a difference?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Sorry, I don't know how you would do that. I use XiaMultiTheme and WeatherPanel inside UltimateLaunch. Don't know if XiaMultiTheme allows you to assign today plugins to pages. Might want to try asking in the XiaMultiTheme thread
[Windows Mobile Themes] colonel00:
Yeah, that would make sense as we are under a heat advisory in Kansas City. However, any idea on why it then goes to the error? Perhaps it is trying to bring up the severe weather alert?

And, if you missed my edit, is there a reason you dont include detail-forcast.wpd anymore?

Again, great work on everything.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The "missing" 12 were icons that WeatherPanel would never actually use (for example 4.png will never get displayed. WP will always display 3.png instead). So to save space I removed all these unecessary icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] colonel00:
Yep, it was missing the Alert.wpx. I have attached that and the detail-forcast.wpd that I have edited to work with your newer icons. I might mess with the colors of the alert box to see if they will work better with your theme.

This will give it more of a gray look.

rumball,

been scouring the internet trying to find an app that converted these mng to animated gif but none worked as advertised. please post an animated gif set.

what pogram do you use to make these mng?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Thanks! :) I'll take a look and update the download link so that others will get it included in the theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I use GIMP to generate the animation frames in PNG format. Then I use ImageMagick to string the individual frames together into an MNG. I'll post a set of GIFs Monday or Tuesday.
[Windows Mobile Themes] colonel00:
Glad to help.

The only thing that still isnt working now is the Hourly Details for all four (temp, precip, wind, humidity) categories. Also, the 24 hour combined temp/precip graph in the current conditions does not show. Are these working for you? Just wondering if its a problem on my end. I will let you know if I find anything.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PPCBANDIT:
Thanks for your reply - and once again: amazing work you have done!

Hi Rumball !

Its's sometimes get back to default values, when i'm doing a soft reset.

I'm forced to change it several times a day, a little annoying.. don't you have a solution for me?

Another point : the size of the name of the city and country, how could i change it?, cause its a little too big

An anticipated thanks for ur answers !!

I had check manty times when I used other theme is normaly , temperature shown even and the other details quit perfect , but I change Diamond_WP_Version_5 ,that's cannot shown temperature and weather description too.......

I guess that's the problem of Manila.wpl file right , that's make me disappointed and uninstall as well , but I really want to use this theme if can solved this problem...
[Windows Mobile Themes] colonel00:
Thanks. Wow that is sad that I missed that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Do you mean that my previous versions all displayed correctly for you? Did you install the two font files I provided? If so, maybe try renaming them from .ttf to .bak for now and then softreset to see if it is a font problem

I still believe that you send a lot of time in the whole project, but after donations we'll get the download link to the whole set of icons thats not ok for me.

What about users without a credit card?

Thanks a lot for your great work!

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
If you're city name is displayed correctly then try changing the temperature font to "HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin". I'm not sure why the Helvetica Thin font is not working correctly on your device...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
On Monday or Tuesday I will be posting an update to the theme file (V5.1) which will add the Weather Alerts and the Detailed Summary pages. I'll also tweak it so that more characters are allowed for the city name. (NOTE: Under WeatherPanel settings you can edit the city name to remove the country/state/province if you want to just display the city name).

As for the regitsry setting...I'm not sure why your device would revert the registry back to a previous state after a soft-reset...it's like it's caching the registry or something. Anyway...the only thing I can suggest is to install WeatherPanel onto your storage card (rather than device) so that you don't need to perform the registry tweak.
[Windows Mobile Themes] alainwong:
yup . even I save the fonts under windows directory and windows\fonts too , is neccessary to edit the reg file too ? (for the fonts)

I will try to donate what I can after I am pay my move in deposit+first months and tuition for law school. Hopefully I can have like $20 extra to donate to you for the hard work. Unfortunately, law school in an expensive city like San Francisco doesn't leave an unemployed law student much money after housing, food, books, tuiton, and public transportation fees. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nagrom Nniuq:
I think I installed mine right but the city gets cut off when I pull up the menu bar. Also, the weather alert symbol shows up in the middle of the temperature. I assume that is what you are talking about in your "update". Why not just put the menu bar on the bottom instead of the side. That way space is not an issue.
[Windows Mobile Themes] M@rtyn04:
This is pigging marvellous! I am in awe of the icons. Spending far too much time watching them :o

5 - 3 min to make this...

i found not exe in WeatherPanel???

Please help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] toblo:
It's because ........!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Not sure what you are downloading...but the latest version of Marsware WeatherPanel is 2.5.1. You can get the installation cab at http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=184&sid=96e4dea46dc68415e7c2cfeb2f41a18b
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See previous post for downloading executable.

As for Throttle Launcher...I believe the latest beta allows you to install today plug-ins for tabs, but I haven't tried it myself. Best to ask on the ThrottleLauncher Touchflo3D thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
It works perfectly with ThrottleLaucher 9.3.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaptenmlaar:
i've done that,

what i do is first instal throttlelauncher, then install weatherpanel.

config the weather plugin at throttlelauncher program to weatherpanel.

done, :)

Big Request

Rumball,

The reason that I (and perhaps others) are requesting the animated gif versions is because of this script that I (and others) have put together for Slide2Unlock2:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=390841

It changes the wallpaper based on the current weather condition using yahoo weather (no other apps needed), Weatherpanel, or HTC weather. In that thread people have been wanting an animated gif set of weatehr wallpapers. So i figure as you are making a animated gif set, can you add the animation onto this background set that i am posting here. It has background png (1.png, 30.png, etc.) correlating to the weather already. I tried doing this myself frame by frame but I cannot line up the graphics perfectly on each frame and thus it is jumpy. I tried GIMP but too much learning curve for me.

Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss more (and not bogg up this thread). I will PM you my email as well.

edit: can't seem to upload the zip file. please check your pm, i can email it to you.

i am trying to get my phone to look and act like yours.

i made it thru all the steps.

i dont know if everything works yet.

step F says :: "Manila Icon" folder.. i downloaded the static icons set.

that folder is named..manila wp icons. i assume that is ok to use w/o

renaming..

All of step F is for installation on device.. i assume that if installed on storage

card, its the same--put folders on storage card, not device programs..

step H says to uncheck all options in today screen.

when i do so, my today screen just shows UL with generic tabs..

what should i have checked in "today screen items" ?

also, when i have weather panel on (checked in "items") the right side

has scroll bar-- display is too big to fit..

Not at all like your clean display.

What did i miss in UL icons? i want them to look like yours..

i'm assuming that when you say to unzip/copy , that means that the whole folder is supposed to be copied--not the contents.

thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] sean222:
In Today item settings, only UltimateLaunch should be checked. Did you copy the ultimatelaunch.ini and icons to the \Program Files\UltimateLaunch directory? (overwriting the files there)

With SPB MS you'll want to copy extract it onto your desktop, then select all the files in the folder and copy them to the SPB Mobile Shell folder, again OVERwriting exisiting files. If you aren't overwriting files, you're probably putting them in the wrong place.

thanx for the help.

i feel like i am close.

as i work thru this, can you tell me how to re-size the

when i pull up page 2 , then tap, i get error :: thumcal cannot be opened..

i reinstalled, but didnt help.. when i go to UL , it doesnt show up on page 2

and i cant find a way to add it.

on page 4, its supposed to have : S2P, SetVolume, and Mortscript ,

but i have none and i dont find them to plug in.

at the very bottom, where Rumball has "menu", mine shows Spb menu..

i would like to change that.

Notes:

Download the file and unzip

Copy the CAB file to your device and install

If replacing, install over your current installation - be sure to keep settings when asked

Soft reset to initiate the hourly data fix

Sorry, will not let me upload the cab.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
For Thumbcal, see posts 98 and 101 for two different options for fixing this...basically the theme assumes Thumbcal is installed on your storage card.

S2P, SetVolume, and Mortscript are available for download here at XDA Developers. Google each of them and you should be able to find the installation files.

In order to deal with the scroll bars, you need to go into ultimateLaunch settings>Display and make sure "Fixed plug-in height" is selected. I use a height of 267 pixels.
