RUMBALL, do you plan on doing any more layouts probably a phatfinger similar one?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
My original plan was to generate a theme that matched the HTC Diamond as closely as possible so I haven't given much thought to now generating alternate WP themes. You should be able to use the animated icon set with the phatfinger theme if you like that layout.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Despera:
Integrate for Manilla2D?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at the bottom of the first post.

Short answer no.

Suggestion...use throttlelauncher if you want the look of Manilla2D with animated weather.

Amateur Astronomers version...

Here is a modified version of Rumball's static theme. It is suited to my particular needs for space on the screen and to know if that @#$%^&* moon is going to be out in the evening or not! I changed the size of the LARGE set and replaced some of the night png's. Thanks to Rumball for putting this together and explaining it very well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
While the animations are CPU-intense (and therefore battery draining), in a tabbed today application such as ThrottleLauncher or UltimateLaunch the execution of the animations halt when you are no longer on the Weather tab watching the animations. So you shouldn't really see a large battery drain unless your device is ON and actually displaying the animations throughout that 45 minute motorcycle drive...

...are you using these in a tabbed configuration? If so...what today application do you use (SPB Pocket Plus, ThrottleLauncher, or UltimateLaunch)?

Can u please post your modded theme?

[Windows Mobile Themes] James Copley:
Hey guys. Got a little problem and I don't want to PM Rumball about it. I'm sure he's very busy. Looking for support from anyone. In s2u2, the clock won't show it's hands. I searched the forum and all I found was a suggestion about making sure to install rumball's pack after the s2u2 installation. If you upgrade s2u2 replaces the original files. This isn't my case, I've tried several times, 2 different versions of s2u2. I still can't get the hands to show. So this leads to problem #2. I actually prefer the digital clock in the s2u2 clock pack. So I uninstalled and then reinstalled. Added the clock pack like normal, but I can't see any clock except option 4 and it's an anolog clock, not rumballs.. no hands. I've tried about 3 times now. Is there something in the rest of rumball's theme set up that is controlling s2u2? I don't get it.... I start fresh each time... Well I make a few changes... I use rumball's weather icons, wallpaper.gif, and the 4 battery pngs, but that shouldn't be messing with the clock fomat at all. I add in about 5 or 6 clocks (clock pack), yet only the one shows (option 4 clockA\) with no hands still. Anyone have an idea?! :D thanks guys.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bennec83:
This looks amazing!!!

I really dont know what to say other than im trying this now!! (I presume that this will work on the Diamond?)

Thanks for this!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hey there. My theme doesn't do anything special with S2U2...all you should have to do is download the s2u2.zip file, unzip it and copy the gfx folder into your S2U2 directory. Next, go into S2U2 setup and make sure to enable the Analog Clock. If you have the "gfx\clockA" then the clock hands should show. So unfortunately I'm not sure what could be going on....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Thanks! :) Just a note though...the animations are sized for QVGA devices...and so will appear rather small on your VGA Diamond.
[Windows Mobile Themes] James Copley:
I'm with ya bro.... I'm baffled as well. I really do not understand what is going on here. I'll try again a bit later tonight though.... might as well. I keep trying it on my device, I clear it all out and uninstall before I reinstall s2u2 1.22. I've never seen the hands in the clock. But what gets me more is the fact that no clock shows up at all now. Even after it's been reinstalled fresh. Anyone got ideas? I'll report back later on this evening. Thanks guys, expecially you Rumball. you are THE MAN :cool:

EDIT: I reinstalled s2u2 onto my storage card. Sure enough, no clocks. Everytime that I reinstall, s2u2 remembers all the previous settings, including the clocks that I do not have in the gfx folder anymore. So, in the options menu, I chose default settings. It still had the extra clock options, but I put it on clock/ and it actually worked. I didn't try to put Rumball's clock back in this time. But I did use his animated gif wallpaper and battery indicator. Now I wish I had my new ppc. I noticed last night before viwing the weather I had about 17mb free program on the device. After viewing 'isolated T-Storms' animation, I dropped to 3.6 mb fee prog space! ouch :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mourad75:
It looks great ! :cool:

Can u please give me a link to download this modified version of weatherpanel.

Thanx

im not lucky today
[Windows Mobile Themes] dgaud007:
Thanks. Here is the link. I couldn't upload here. I still need to cleanup the theme folder, because I'm not using many of those layouts in there. The main layout is Manila-5day and everything is called from there. Let me know if you have any problems.

Update:

I cleanup the files and renamed them. Also, added some basic instructions and changelog. The update files are here.

How do you get the "WP Hourly Data Fix" window to not come everytime your phone starts up.Is there a mortscript or something that can automatically shut the window. I have Wisbar Desktop installed that automatically starts on startup. Well once it loads I have that Hourly data fix window still open so i have to shutdown Wisbar Desktop just so i can close that little window.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Please see the "WP Hourly Data Fix" thread at weatherpanel.net: http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpan...id=bb16c75abeedb84af5d479b80352897a&start=180 ... according to storyr (the developer that created the hourly data fix):
[Windows Mobile Themes] asofiker:
Thank you very much kind sir!:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] ytsejam_:
hhhm.. can't seem to get the large icons right..

here's the things i've already checked and done:

Manila WP Icons set as Icon Set = no work

WWE ROM checked (using AMPv3 for wizarD) = checked but no work

Deleted the Moon folder inside the LARGE folder = no work

Deleted all other PNG files aside from what's inside the Large folder = no work

tried the Registry hack Nir36 suggested = no work..

hhmm... am i missing something?

EDIT got it working.. hehe.. looks like i copied/overwritten the wrong files in the LARGE folder..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
are there any bigger weather icons available? say size 300x300 upwards? these icons look so tiny on my pda, and i'm just talking about the png icons..... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] jr5416:
In your manila wp icons , make sure ur large icons are in a folder , if u can show me how too post a screenshot i can show u how i have mine maybe thatll help
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Are you using a VGA device? If so, I can look into generating a set of large static PNG icons specifically for VGA (but creating the animated icons in VGA is, unfortunately, not practical as discussed previously in this thread).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
awesome

Yeah i'm using a VGA device, and that would be soooooo cool....... I've looked everywhere, but can't find any....... Plus I think your icons are the only really great ones going......... Doesn't matter about the animated, even though that would be freaking awesome, even the little ones are huge memory......

cheers

Is it possible to exchange the original Diamond weather theme with this theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] aeratos:
make it for m2d this is makes happy many people :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
First, thanks for a great app. I've used all the weather programs except Fizz, and like this the best so far.

I have an odd-sized screen at 320x240, and am having some issues modifying the right wpl's to adjust the program.

I've attached a screenshot with a view of what I'm currently challenged with. Which config file do I mod for this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rockfshr:
Thank you for the great work my donation has been sent...:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
It depends on which layout you are using. If you use the single day version then you'll need to edit Manila.wpl and Forecast.wpx. If you use the 5-day forecast version then edit Manila-5day.wpl and Forecast-5.wpx.

I got the animated large icon working again

=====================

I have this problem on my KS20 which have the animated set working nicely for 1 day 1 night, then the large icon disappeared. I use all sort of method and suggestions in this thread but no luck. I uninstall and reinstall the wetherpanel and moving the icon folders here and there but finally scroll up the OS.

I hard reset my KS20 then install this lovely weatherpanel theme again. It works fine, then the icon disappeared after 1 day again in this clean device. Again no luck for all sort of fixes.

Finally there is one....I installed SKTools and FreeUp RAM and Auto Clean. Do a soft rest, then the animated large icons were back.

=====================

[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
hey any more news on the VGA icons?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I'll try and complete it this weekend. ;) Remember though...these will only be static VGA icons...no VGA animations.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dr71399:
help anyone

what can I do for connection problems ? what is recommended ?

pls help anyone ...

Rumball can u help me?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
The you tube video you posted shows you using it in SPB mobile shell, errr what.

EDIT: nevermind, saw the post you did on how to get that. Thanx.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
@Rumball. thanks for this animated Icons.

One Request: Can u make or do you have a static Icons set (png) with your Icons for s2u2, like this one, because i want them bigger and the default are just 32x32 or does anyone have Rumballs Icons in 64, 96 or 128 Pixels (maybe from the s2u2 VGA Set ?)

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Quadman:
This theme looks awesome I followed every step to your directions but i'm still freezing up. I have a VW xv6900 (htc touch) I also read the Post by mlalahoi. My question is after direction H do i enable just ultimate launch as a today plugin or enable all these programs as plugins? If not either, should i just enable XIAMultiThemes as today plugins? Thx so much I really want this :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Only UltimateLaunch should be enabled on the Today screen.

XIAMultiTheme is rather difficult to set up though...and if you don't have it configured correctly it will lock up UltimateLaunch. My recommendation would be to use ThrottleLauncher....I've switched over to it and am really happy about it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
When I generate the static VGA icon set I'll try and post 64, 96, and 128 pixel versions as well so that people can use them with S2U2.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Quadman:
ok so following the directions you stated and dont use UL, TL? Can you post the TL settings? thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
TL instead of UL but what settings? We are such babies, we need our hands held all the way. Donation to follow success though. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
Is this still a possibility?
[Windows Mobile Themes] dimitris_tsak:
Big weather icons for s2u2

Here you go!
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
Thank you Dimitris. Thank you RUMBALL, i got it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
awesome, and that's totally fine for now...... my device can't handle animated weather icons..... memory isn't that big enough.... :(

But still love your icons so it's cool.

Djay64
[Windows Mobile Themes] aipkt:
does it use with omnia
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok Djay64, I've finished my VGA icon set. You can find the download link in the first post under the "Oct 26" update section. I haven't had a chance yet to update the WeatherPanel VGA layout files yet and so I don't think the icons will be centered correctly on the screen. I'll try to post the new VGA layout files in the next few days. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I'm not sure...but I think the non-standard screen size of the Omnia confuses the Marsware WeatherPanel application.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
There are several places these could go, Manila, large, small???
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beast84:
Where do the new updated animations go? Do they go in the original folder or the small or large folder?
[Windows Mobile Themes] egzthunder1:
They go in the "LARGE" folder. Just compare the file sizes and you'll see it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
Awesome....... yeah they just need to be centered...... then perfect...... :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok, I've posted the new VGA-layout files in the first post. Try them out and let me know if they look alright. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
Another time , i must say THANKS for Update and your awesome work...

:p
[Windows Mobile Themes] fdroms:
Does there need to be any size adjustment for VGA to the standard & small size icons? They seem relatively smaller on the VGA device?

The Large Icons look great, Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
@Rumball, thanks again for the updat, i tried the different layouts but could not find the right one, on first picture you can see the biggest one i found for Fullscreen. The second one would be better, but it always starts with a oneline layout. SO maybe you find time and make another layout ? Some middle thing between both ?

The other thing is that it need up from 0,37 MB (single line) to 10,5 MB when running, depents on the layout, but i know its a Problem of the big animations.

by the way, if anyone wants my new Wallpaper:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrbelvedere:
Quick Question

Rumball, I was just wondering if these updated icons were for the Single Play icons set or the Continuous Loop icons? I use the single play icons right now & didn't want to insert continuous playing icons in the mix. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
Thx for Sharing...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:

need help

@Rumball

When i viewed screenshots of your work i was really amazed and tried to install it on my Touch Cruise but failed. I installed all the programs I saw in your posts, copied nessesary files from yourattachment, removed all plugins from today, except ultimatelaunch, but nothing happens - i see blank screen. Can you explain for some stupid guys like me detailed installation of your great work? For example:

1. You must download or purchase the following programs......

2. You must install downloaded programs to........

3. You must copy (replace) the following files.......

and so on
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
OK. After numerous requests I have tried to put together a set of installation instructions. I've tried to make them as clear as possible but I'm sure I've missed some obvious steps. Even after following these steps you'll still need to tweak certain things to your liking...particularily SPB Diary, SPB Pocket Plus, and BatteryStatus.

You can find the installation instructions in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2326335&postcount=28

Superb work Rumball, wish I had seen these posts weeks ago, would have saved a few resets no doubt. What memory usage did you manage to get your XIAM themes down to ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
After a soft reset I have 43.1 MB Program memory and 25 MB Storage memory free.

Where can i get your UL's icon tabs?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
They're included in Post #28 where all my setup files are included.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PseudoReal:
@Rumball

first of all great job, even though I could not yet get it to run as UL always freezes when saving data.

The other question I do have. In your Slide to unlock app, I really like the clock, but in my case, I do not see the pointers, I just have the plain clock - no hours, minutes or seconds.

Do you know what can be done to resolve this?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] xsar:
Thanks for answer. I think you missed some settings of XIAMultitheme, such as settings of every tab in XIAMultithemeconfigurator, & i find some mistakes in folder manilla-people\mscr. manilla-black. Ithink you may explain more detailed instructions in UL settings, because after installing all the programs i found in your posts & copying all settings in nessesary folders i was looking at clear screen. Nothing happened. That's why i post my previous post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dancer_69:
Any news about animated icons version yet?
[Windows Mobile Themes] sneakk:
i installed this but when i am done do i need to go settings today and check any items??? or once i instal ul and restart am i done
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Only UltimateLaunch should be enabled on your today screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Sorry...no progress yet. I have the graphic components needed (individual lightning bolts, individual rain-drops/snow-flakes, etc)...but I just don't know what the Diamond animations are supposed to look like. I've only seen one low quality movie of the Thunderstorm animation. I could probably put that together...

A detailed tutorial on how to get WeatherPanel traffic images to work can be found at the following link. Note that you need to log in to PPCGeeks to be able to download this PDF file.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=652&d=1172439365

A text only version of this Tutorial follows:

WeatherPanel Traffic Image Tutorial

by storyr

1. Dock your device

2. From ActiveSync, click the Explore button. A Windows Explorer window will open showing the files on your device.

3. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the WeatherPanel installation folder. It will contain a file named radars.txt. Drag this file to your PC desktop and open it with Notepad.

4. Next, find some traffic cameras. Try googling in your city or state

5. When you find an image you want, right-click on the image (in the browser window) and select Properties from the menu

6. A Properties dialog box will open with information about the image, including it’s URL

7. In the dialog box, drag and select the contents of the URL address. Then right-click on the selection and choose Copy from the menu

8. Now, go back to Notepad, insert a couple of blank lines and paste the URL at the top:

9. In front of the URL you just pasted, type a description for it (this is the description that’s displayed in WeatherPanel)

10. Continue steps 5 through 9 for each image you want. When you’re done, you can delete all the other crap that was in the radars.txt file if you want

11. Save the radars.txt file and close Notepad.

12. Copy the radars.txt file from your PC back to its original location on your

device – replacing the original.

13. On your device, open the WeatherPanel settings and select the city to add the images to.

14. Tap the Edit button, then tap the Weather Images button. On the Weather Images panel, add each image as follows:

• Tap Add New

• Select the image name (from step 9) in the Select Weather Image drop-down

• Tap OK and repeat for each image

15. Use the Up / Down buttons to order the images.

Done!

As an example, my radar.txt file is as follows:
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
I am having two problems at the moment I am hoping someone can help me with:

1. When I click on the Voicemail buttion and tell it to call my voicemail, it takes me to the keypad, but won't dial. Anyway to get it to dial?

2. When the phone is in standby mode and goes to the slide to unlock screen, and I do it, I get an error message saying it can't open XIAMultiTheme\XMT_OnPowerOn. It doesn't seem to be affecting the program, but it is a bit annoying since I have to press ok like 5 times before it goes away.

3. Is there anyway to replace the Contacts icon/FingerContacts with the HTC Diamond mail application?

Thanks for the help.

thumbcal

hi there. i have followed every step quoted above. i got the whole thing working.... very nice app.... now i have one problem.... i could not get the thumbcal working.... when i click on the calender on the 2nd tab, it says error, could not open thumbcal..... i already tried installing it twice but still cannot work.... pls help.... thanks..
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Since I have PM'ed Rumball about 50 times in regards to various questions, I can help you with this one.

I was having the same problem and PM'ed him and he told me that the program is looking for ThumbCal on your SD card. So install ThumbCal on your SD card programs file and it should work fine. I have tested this and it works fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superman80:
got it working now... thanks a lot...

btw do u know how to make the contact picture size bigger? like the one shown in page 1 (CNetX Face contact). my contact picture is small size
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Wow, I didn't even notice that, but now I might want to keep FaceContacts. Another thing I noticed is that when you check the video of RumBall's phone on Youtube, the WeatherPanel option toolbar (once you click on the picture of the weather) rolls out vertically. On my phone, however, it rolls on underneath the picture. Which covers up some of the information.

Hopefully, Rumball will be on to help us out soon. :D

I intially wanted to remove FaceContact because my fat fingers no good for it.

Also, has anyone got a copy of the HTC Diamond E-Mail program? I can't find it anywhere.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Does it work through WiFi and ActiveSync?
[Windows Mobile Themes] exitmood:
Thanks a lot Rumball... It doesn't work with activesync nonce, I couldn't test it on wifi because I have not wireless network these days.
