[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Are using the version 5 static images (http://asapload.com/138366)? It looks like you may be using the old images.

For a newer 5-forecast layout...see the files posted in #471
[Windows Mobile Themes] sphinxy:
Hi superflysocal,

can you tell me how to make the height shorter? Ive currently got it in my TL Weather page as a plugin, but the new 5 day weather forecast (which is what i wanted in a while!) is cutting it off.

Can you either post your settings here (if Rumball doesnt mind?) or let me know which variables i have to change to shorten it?

Many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sean222:
Hey I saw your 240 pixel version and was just wondering if you ever considered making a 160 or 180 pixel version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Yep. My next release will include several different layouts to choose from. 180 would be do-able. 160 will be a bit cramped but I'll see what I can do
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
i don't think rumball would mind.

The bold marks where I made a change. In the forecast section, I used H-xx instead an absolute value, so that you can just change the overall "Height" in the first line and it adjusts accordingly (instead on counting down, it counts up from bottom).
[Windows Mobile Themes] sphinxy:
Thank for posting! Tried doing the changes....its a bit over the place so i think ive stuffed it up at areas >.<

Can you post your .wpx file instead please?

Many thanks for helping out!
[Windows Mobile Themes] nitroman30:
Followed your instruction and Everything works great but the music tab. All I get is the date, I have checked everything and all seems right. Anything I might be over looking? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] radoste:
I do not see the animations.

I am using it as a plugin.

Any help?

Also in the graphs the font is tripled.Can not read anything.

Am I supposed to donate to get the Animation?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Go into your UltimateLaunch setup and for the Music tab set the plugin to "XIAMultitheme1". Right now it sounds like you have it set to "XIAMultitheme"
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Fixed

Updated static images and working fine. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
I made a couple of changes to the post. You should now be able to just copy it and paste it into Notepad. Make sure you save it as Manila-5day.wpl and that you also have the Forecast-5day.wpx file from the .zip Rumball posted above. Also make sure you have the 5.3 beta Rumball posted above as you will need the "small" icons fom it.

Edit: I am posting my wpl and wpx file in case you just want to plug it in and use. Please note there is probably potential for cutting it down to like 230 or even 225 lines, if you don't mind a little overlap with city name and animated icon. Just decrease value for city, forecast text and overall height as I described in my post above (all bolded).
[Windows Mobile Themes] nitroman30:
Tried that, If I go in and change it to XIAMultitheme1 then exit out then check it again it's back to XIAMultitheme. I checked the others and they all show to be on XIAMultitheme. but they work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Yep...if you go back in to UltimateLaunch "to check" the setting it will always revert back to XIAMultitheme for some reason.

So go to XIAMultiTheme setup and make sure you have configured the themes correctly:

XIAMultitheme: Manila-Home

XIAMultitheme1: Manila-Music

XIAMultitheme2: Manila-Weather

XIAMultitheme3: Manila-People

XIAMulittheme4: Manila-Programs

Make sure to apply themes and install them.

Next go to UltimateLaunch and set the Music tab to use XIAMultiTheme1. Do not go back to check that it was set as doing so will switch it back to XIAMultiTheme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nitroman30:
Ok that worked, The going back in and checking must have been what was messing me up. Thanks for the help.

Is there anyway to use icontacts with this theme or photo contacts instead of Face contacts? Pictures are just to small with face contacts. How about a digital clock for the home page? maybe with grey and white flames? I would be willing to pay you for the changes. As I will for your hard work on this theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok,

I've started to work on new layouts. In paticular, layouts that are more compatable with the ThrottleLauncher TouchFlo3D setup (the pop-up's do not display correctly and are VERY slow inside ThrottleLauncher at tje moment).

The layouts planned are:

1) 5 Day Forecast along the bottom

2) Original layout but spread out a bit more to take advantage of the extra screen space available for those running this theme inside ThrottleLauncher TouchFlo3D

3) Reduced height layout (for those with square screens)

If anyone has any other ideas/requests for alternate layouts for the main screen then feel free to PM me (rather than posting in this thread).
[Windows Mobile Themes] shpy:
There is a issue.

If in some reasons, WP cant connect to internet, WP will change to show to Today to the next day. Or, in a slow internet connection, it will be like that too. So, after that, if we cant connect to internet to update the data, WP will alway show the general data of next day. (That's somebody say "Why my WP just only show a static icon" )

How to solve it ?!?

(I use the last version of WP : trial 2009)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
Rumball, just so you know, the biggest issue with running WeatherPanel as a plugin in ThrottleLauncher is that the graph and detail screens continue to overwrite when you arrow to the next screen to the point it becomes unreadable. Don't know if the problem is with WeatherPanel or how it interacts with ThrottleLauncher. But can't wait to see the new layout for ThrottleLauncher. I know with the new L26 Throttle ROM, it will definitely spark a lot of interest.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ya, I just loaded ThrottleLauncher on my Tytn-II and noticed this behaviour. Since this doesn't occur with UltimateLaunch or PocketPlus tabs I'm thinking it is ThrottleLauncher causing the problems. Since this "overlaying" problem doesn't occur when you click on the center to pull up the navigation buttons, I think I can work around this ThrottleLauncher bug.

Now that I'm trying out ThrottleLauncher I have a vested interest to get it to work! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
Well I know a lot of people will really appreciate your efforts in getting this to work correctly with ThrottleLauncher, me included. Thanks for all your hard work on this. Your weather theme is definitely by far the best out there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] iTouch24:
b) set Layout="Manila.wpl"

how much do we have to donate for the animated icons

why does no hourly forcast show up ..temp/precip/wind/humidy.. that whole page is blank .. the daily info is there if i switch over but no hourly

also no live pictures on the next page.. how do u set this up
[Windows Mobile Themes] powerintake:
Excellent...Look forward to new version

I replaced SMALL icon from rumball with animated small icons available here.

http://www.marsware.net/WeatherPanel/skins.htm

Shows perfectly .. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
no edited wpl/wpx files? :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] powerintake:
Of course ....I did update my theme with edited wpl wpx files & All credits goes to rumball..
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickgallis:
which site use to get weather information ... weather.com or other????
[Windows Mobile Themes] J0nas:
yes, is www.weather.com
[Windows Mobile Themes] radoste:
This is called a payment. Not a donation.

Clearly not a fair deal for all the little beta testers on XDA.

Please setup a proper web site providing receipts for the honest tax payers.

Or at least do not call it a DONATION!

It is a legal sale of a product.

Monetary exchange for a product.

Beta testers that pay for testing beta products - The genius of Bill Gates!
[Windows Mobile Themes] JeckyllHavok:
I got no animations or big icons.

I'm using weather panel as a throttle launcher plugin, everything is correct but i only see the temperature and the name but no icons or animations, just a little weather icon behind the temperature.

Please help, cause it's a great prog
[Windows Mobile Themes] radoste:
You have to purchase the animated icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JeckyllHavok:
i got the animated icons but i can't see them.

and yes there is everything in the right folder and selected by the settings menu.
[Windows Mobile Themes] J0nas:
:( x2 :o:o
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Yes you are correct, I changed the wording in the first post accordingly. Paypal provides receipts for tax purposes.

As for calling the animations beta...I've never heard of a beta-image before.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
On your storage card you need to have a "Manila WP Icons" folder. Inside that folder should be 38 png files plus a "LARGE" directory and a "SMALL" directory. Inside the "LARGE" subdirectory there should be all the wpa animation files
[Windows Mobile Themes] pongyiny:
To display temp.English language regions selected, but I am not in the region of english so the date will be all wrong(one day earlier), any method to solve that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rob_p:
This is great work you've done - really looks the biz.

I only have one question - is there anyway to turn off the beeping sound whenever you tap on the weather panel, be it to go to one of the menu options on the side, or to go into more detail of the forecast for a city. If I could do that it would be perfect!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jmorton10:
icon problem??

I have the paid for animated icons & they work super on the main screen, but I am getting the default WP icons on all the other screens?? I deleted the default folder, so I don't even know where the icons are coming from??

I originally had WP installed to the device & moved both the program & the icons to my 4 gig card, so maybe that is the problem??

There is still a Marsware directory in the device with a .dll in it & I can't delete it because of a sharing violation, is this the problem???

TIA guys,

~John
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
Whenever you install WeatherPanel on your SD card, it still creates a directory on your device in Programs Files for WeatherPanel.dll. I don't know why and maybe Rumball can shed some light on this.
[Windows Mobile Themes] maati:
The small icons work fine but WeatherPanel doesn't show the large icons. It just displays temperature, city name and update time at the initial screen but no icon above the city name.

Has anyone got an idea how to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See post 506
[Windows Mobile Themes] iTouch24:
how to do u get the hourly forecast to display, nothing populates
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See post #1, FAQ question #1. Quick answer: You don't have the latest version of the WeatherPanel application.
[Windows Mobile Themes] maati:
I don't have the icons stored on my stroage card but on the device. I have the "Manila WP icons" folder inside the WP "Icons" folder and the "LARGE" folder and .pngs inside "Manila WP icons". There's no "SMALL" folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The only way I know of is to go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications and uncheck "Events (warnings,system events)"
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
It sounds like you only installed the animation icons and non of the other icons.

When you downloaded the Diamond WP theme zip file included in that is a "Manila WP Icons" folder. These are all the regular size icons (non-animation). These need to be installed as outlined in step 9 of the installation instructions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] radoste:
You are correct. I was wrong to call the images beta.

I am sorry for being a little tacky.

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jmorton10:
Yea, that was the problem.

I ended up going back to the Phatfinger theme however, the animated icon theme was awesome, but it was absolutely killing my memory.

~John
[Windows Mobile Themes] jayvaughn:
please explain how to install this!!!! I have tried several times and the phone freezes up.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jayvaughn:
how are there 6 tabs on the home screen
[Windows Mobile Themes] masta blasta:
Hi

When i tab on the weather screen eats WP many memory. It goes down to 3 or 4 mb.

What can i do?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pongyiny:
can anyone help me

To display temp.English language regions selected, but I am not in the region of english so the date will be all wrong(one day earlier), any method to solve that.

Edit/Delete Message
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Do you have any .png files inside the LARGE folder? The large images are a seperate download, where you have a choice of static images (free) or animated images (not free)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Are you talking about WeatherPanel or the UltimateLaunch setup?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
You use a today plugin that supports tabs. Such as ThrottleLauncher, UltimateLaunch, or SPB Pocket Plus.
[Windows Mobile Themes] maati:
Yes, I downloaded the LARGE icons (the free ones because my connection was to slow to try the animated icons) and put them in LARGE folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The work around is to change the "Regional Settings" to english...NOT the time zone. So I do not understand why the date would be wrong. This is the only solution at the moment that has been reported to me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Version 5.3 added to first post

- Added a new 5-day forecast layout that you can now chose from in step 8b

- Added single day and 5-day forecast layouts specifically designed for use in ThrottleLauncher. Choose "Manila-TL.wpl" or "Manila-TL-5day.wpl" in step 8b when installing.

Notes on 5 day forecast:

- Make sure you install the "Manila WP Icons" folder that is included in this Diamond WP Theme v5.3 zip file. This directory includes the "SMALL" icons which are needed for the 5 day forecast tab. This also include the "MOON" icons that were missed in the last release.

- For those that want the 5 day forecast icons to be animated, you can find some for download at http://www.marsware.net/WeatherPanel/skins.htm . Simply download the "Regular" size animated icon set you want and place the png and wpa files in the "Manila WP Icons\SMALL" directory...overwriting the small static images included with my theme release. The Stardock Animated set at the bottom work particularily well with this theme!

Special note for ThrottleLauncher Users:

- ThrottleLauncher is unable to correctly draw and refresh pop-up windows generated by WeatherPanel. To work around this issue I have included two new themes that are specifically designed for use with ThrottleLauncher (the theme layouts with -TL in their name). One important instruction to note when using these TL layouts is that any time you open up a pop-up window (such as Radars, Graphs, etc) that is full screen, there is no longer an "OK" button to push to close the window. To close these windows you will need to click on the City name at the top of the screen. This will return you to the today desktop screen. One bug that exists in ThrottleLauncher is that when you close one of these full screen pages, ThrottleLauncher will not immediately redraw the icon tab along the bottom. It will refresh once you click down there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] got2b240:
Thank you Rumball!

This worked out so much better now that you fixed the 5 day forecast for use with the TL!!!

I will be donating soon in hopes of achieving the non-TRIAL animated icon set!

I have been reading all over WeatherPannel's forums and I have to tell you guys how fortunate we are to have the best looking theme I seen yet! All thanks to Rumball!

-CK
[Windows Mobile Themes] got2b240:
Rumball,

There is one issue with the newest release. When you click on one of the days in the forecast, there no longer displays an "ok" option at the top therefore we cannot exit back to the main TL > Weather Pannel page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
Did you read the post a few above yours? He mentions this and gives a solution for that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] got2b240:
Ok, I completely missed that point he made about the "OK" button. It seems like it just drops out and hides the TL footer. If you click anywhere inside this footer, you will have things back to normal.

Another Idea...

I have taken the LARGE Icons folder from the 5.2 (without moon) and placed it in the new 5.3 icons folder, this way we have the latest Moon images (if updated) and we now are able to see the large image for weather.

This combined with the new 5-Day-TL forecast happens to be the best combination I have experienced yet!

[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
Just noticed something when I saw the first post again. I don't have the up and down arrows on my screen on the main page. Don't think i ever did. What is it for? The large animated icon fills an area which extends to pretty much the edge of the screen, so perhaps that is why i am not getting those arrows? I have Sprint Touch, 240x320 screen QVGA in portrait.
[Windows Mobile Themes] amkaos:
i put the XIAMultiTheme folder into programs folder.

put themes folder into XIAMultiTheme folder.

ran configurator, but i dont have the "default" option on the "theme" tab..

i do have the other options in "themes" tab..and set accordingly..

i will stop here .. hopefully someone can tell me whats wrong..

trying to follow post #103

thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Those are for switching between cities while on the main today screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JukEboXAuDiO:
Thanks for the link but where do I install it to? I can't quite figure it out.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kmatthews:
My 5 day forecast hides behind TL action keys on bottom. My device is Sptrint Touch. And running TL 9.3.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Read the installation instructions in first post
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Looking at your screen shot it appears as though you did not install the "SMALL" icon set and so WeatherPanel is displaying the mid-size icons. Perform step #10 of the instructions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Glad your enjoyin da Throttle and placing creativity with the weather panel on toit..
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Awsome JOB!!!!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
My weather icons in the bottom are animated as yours but the climate numbers are kinda clustered..? what can I do..
[Windows Mobile Themes] kmatthews:
Thanks that fix it..
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
so do you know any reason why I am not seeing them and the animated icons extends all the way to the edge of the screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Can you post a screen shot?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kmatthews:
What you do is uncheck "Don't Display Arrows".
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
it looks just like your sig, except no arrows on the side

I am using UL but no xiamultitheme, just UL with WP plugin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
ahhhh, got it!

ironically, i only use one city at a time, so i really have no need for arrows!
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
Boy I never noticed this before but those animated icons sure does eat a LOT of memory.

On my animated wallpaper set, I used most of the time, every other image, and it still looks pretty smooth. Rumball, you may want to consider this for lesser memory devices. I bet if I ran this on a Titan it would choke with its 64mb.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kmatthews:
My city and state is not center on screen its down by and under display?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
If you are using Ultimate Launch or Throttle Launcher you can configure page to automatically unload the WP plug-in when you leave the weather tab. This should free up memory when you are not watching the animations.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nhokynhok:
Hey, donation sent, thanks for the great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rifraf1:
Downloaded version 5.3 and installed it and tried out the 5 day view, looks good. Only thing is once I tap the middle to get the second screen then tap again to go back to 5 day view the 5 day icon section is gone and will not come back until a weatherpanel refresh happens. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] str8spd2001:
Thanx for a great theme. I have one question though.....if you look at the bottom of the pic I have attached it doesn't extend all the way. Is there a tweak I can do? I tried the TL and still no full screen. I'm running UL by the way. Thanx for any help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] brown88:
you deserve a donation for this. i cannot wait to get the download link.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] brunnair:
I had the same problem.

Now i`ve changed something in the *.wpl Files.

Entry in the original *.wpl file:

...
;IMAGE
#CURRENTICON-CUSTOM-LARGE#
0,0
...

I`ve changed to:

...
;IMAGE
#CURRENTICON-LARGE#
0,0

Now Weather Panel show the large icons.

I use a German ROM. Maybe this problem exist only with ROMs in other Languages than English??? :confused:

Sorry for my bad English. :)
