[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Here's my first attempt at releasing a theme for Marsware WeatherPanel (http://www.marsware.net/WeatherPanel/main.htm). It is based off of storyr's PhatFinger III theme but modified to make it look as close as possible to the HTC Diamond's weather application. Tapping on the centre of the screen will bring up the detailed weather report as well as control buttons to gain access to Setup, Update, Radar Images, 6-Day Forecast, and Charts. Tapping on the centre again will return to the simple Diamond weather screen.

Release History:

NEWS (26 Mar 2009):

Psyki is working on VGA versions of my weatherpanel animations. For those interested check out post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3528549&postcount=1280 and stay tuned! :D

NEW (29 Jan 2009):

For those that use my Touchflo2D theme for ThrottleLauncher you may want to download the attached mod to my weatherpanel layout that integrates more with the overall look and feel of ThrottleLauncher as shown below. Mostly the mod is spacing changes as well as header and footer changes:

To install just unzip the attached file into the WeatherPanel\Themes\Manila folder, over-writing the default ones from the base theme.

Attention Omnia Users: There's a really slick looking Diamond mod of my theme over at http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php/topic,1327.msg104305.html#msg104305

Jan 22, 2009

- Completed WQVGA/Omnia layouts.

- Deleted ThrottleLauncher layouts. ThrottleLauncher 0.9.6 is now fully compatable with WeatherPanel so there is no longer a need to maintain TL-friendly layouts.

- Adjusted animated icons for Fog, Smoke, Dusty, and Haze (new animations and repositioned to be more in line with the rest of the animations)

- Fixed ALERT messages in VGA layout.

WeatherPanel FAQ

1. Cannot add cities. Cannot update weather forecast. Cannot see hourly graphs. Cannot see moon phases?

You're not running the latest version of Marsware WeatherPanel. You need to download the latest version of Marsware WeatherPanel with "Moon Phase" fix. You can get it at http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=184&sid=0f5cebfcfc66ca3d8674eb259626d0f0

2. No temperature displayed on main screen?

Try the following tip posted by mlalahoi. Go to Settings>System>Regional Settings and make sure you have one of the English language regions selected.

3. How to set up Radar images

See post #95 at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2416705&postcount=95

4. How to change the language of the weather forecast

See post 576 at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2528918&postcount=576

5. My city name is too large to fit in the space provided

By default when you add a city, Weatherpanel appends the country/state/province to the name...so remove this and chances are it will fit in the space provided. If there still isn't enough space you can manually edit the layout files and reduce the font size used for #CITY#. Alternatively...move.

6. The theme is too tall/short to fit on my screen!

If the default layouts do not fit your particular setup then you will need to adjust the height to fit your unique setup. To adjust the height of the main screen, edit the appropriate Manila wpl file and simply change the value of the ;HEIGHT variable.

7. How can I get these animations to work with HTC Manila TF3D/Manila2D/HTC Home/SPB Weather (or any other weather application)

See post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5181452&postcount=1320 for details on how to get this working with Manila2D.

8. WeatherPanel beeps when I click on icons

The only way to stop this is go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications and uncheck "Events (warnings,system events)"

9. Large icons do not display
