I just noticed today that Weather Panel was not updating for me on demand. I am not sure about automatic updates as I do not allow it to update automatically. I was only updating through WIFI. I have been using Weather Panel only for a few days now and it was working perfect until this afternoon. I tried to update and it continued to fail. Actually, it also seemed to be causing my device to lag after I tried to manually update WeatherPanel. It was kind of annoying and got to the point that I Soft Reseted the phone. I tried again to update and again right away, a very noticeable lag and the phone slowed to a crawl. I tried about four times with no success.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hotrod101:
Oh and I forgot to mention that I am not using weatherpanel in Throttlelauncher - I am using it in UltimateLaunch
[Windows Mobile Themes] samuelpc:
can this program workwith omnia i908???
[Windows Mobile Themes] agray29:
can you make this a cab file?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
I'm still using Ultimate Launch without any problems at all.

Maybe its in the sequence of installs or something?
[Windows Mobile Themes] custardo01:
I have the same problem. I use TFL 0.93, no lag but error "WeatherPanel has no data for this city. Please connect to the internet to download updated data." WiFi is on. Has been working fine for a few weeks now and suddenly last two days no icons, no weather. Am trying to find a moment for a reinstall.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Not sure what could be wrong with your XIAMultiTheme installation. You should post your question in the XIAMultiTheme thread in this forum to see if the developer Stefano can help you out. You can also try the contact page on the XIAMultitheme home page. I found the responses to be very quick.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Just to be clear...you see the correct diamond weather icons...but they are not centered? What happens when you tap on the icon? Does the advanced weather screen display properly? What size of screen does your device have? This theme was designed for QVGA 320x240.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
thanx for the reply

Ah I see.... yeah everything works perfectly except the weather Icons are not centered. I can tap and get all the correct options.

Um i got 2 pda's one's VGA 640 x 480 and the other is VGA 240 x 320

Is there no way to get these up and running on my device properly? I mean all it is, is just positioning the icons to the center of the screen. ???
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
this is a photo of how it looks.... as you can see the icon is at the top left side of the screen.

Can someone help me with exactly where all the "manila" folders go? I've got all of the said programs installed I just dont know where to put the folders.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
so anyone got any ideas???????????????:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] littlerain:
The same for me :( .Showing the time not AM (PM)
[Windows Mobile Themes] yogichen1014:
dopod 900 cannot work

Where are the "VGA" Icons and Themes????
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
In the PhoneAlarm advanced settings you need to set UseSkinDateTime=1. It is commented out with a ' by default. I believe a soft reset is required afterwards.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I'll update the instructions post on the weekend on how to install everything.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Unfortunately I don't have the VGA weather icons so this theme will not display properly. It only works on 320x240.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
we so need a VGA any size program... this bites
[Windows Mobile Themes] egzthunder1:
@Rumball,

Did you install only the music part of the xia manila theme? If so, how did you install it? I am only interested in the music plugin and nothing else from that package. Please let me know if that is what you did. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] TheDude1120:
how can i get the traffic images to work? never figured that out:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] skilty:
go into Cities and highlight the city, then select edit/ then weather images then add new, then type in the url of the traffic webcam you want to use
[Windows Mobile Themes] speedboarding!:
hey guys im COMPLETELY new to this stuff but im jus sick of the tilts home screen. i want this theme on mine but dont have the slightest idea of how to install it or anything. ive looked around for instructions but cant find any. so any help on where to start would be awesome! thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] sean222:
Hey, I was wondering what program the 'Diamond Header and Navigation Bar is from? It looks alot like the Diamond SPB Mobile theme.

Edit: ok the top is the XIAtheme thing, but the bottom bar? :confused:

Edit#2: Just installed your marsware theme, and it's AWESOME! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tim38_hk:
does weatherPanel need register ???? so anyone tell me sn no or use ".dll " file..Pls.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
My music plugin was based off of the XIA Manila theme, but I changed out some of the graphics and updated it to automatically display the album artwork from S2P. If all you want is my music plugin then download my XIAmultiTheme zip package and only select the Manila-Music folder
[Windows Mobile Themes] hotrod101:
Maybe the problem is not with our phones or our set up since we did have it working until now? It may be a problem at the other end with WeatherPanel?

What do you think. I don't want to mess around with my settings since it was really working just fine - Great in fact until now.

Large Animated Icons

Hi Rumball,

I have been using the large animated icons and have noticed that the icons numbered 19, 22, 27, 29, 31 and 32 sit lower on the screen than the others, by this i mean the icon is actually covering the city name where as the other icons do not. Just thought i would let you know.

Now my weather has updated i can say that number 34 "Fair" also sits lower like the above numbers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Hmm... Sorry, I am still new to the whole phone tweaking and stuff. A couple of questions:

I prefer to use the Manila theme since I use SPB Weather for the 5-day forecast. Will the manila-5day work for that also?

Do i change the wpl for only the pop up windows (ie detail view, radar, graphs) only?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PWN:
You have to edit Manila.wpl and forecast.wpx. Replace W with 240 in all coordinates. The width of the window is set by the calling script. This should fix the problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
I decided to add a couple of screenshots, the first is where the icon is sitting lower and the second is one of the icons that seems to be ok, i have not changed my alignment on my display, these are the large animated icons, the first image is covering the city, the second is one that is displayed correctly.

Just thought i would bring it to your attention.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrhocuspocus:
Im using weather panel with the htc today screen, i am not using throttle launcher. My phone can update the weather in sleep mode sometimes, the real problem is if i want to update my radars right before i leave the house i will never see them update.

For instance while in sleep mode my phone updated at 12pm 1230pm and 1pm but not at 130pm or 2pm. Then i turn my phone on at 209pm and it still does not update, so i try to update on demand ... nothing happens for a while so i open ie to open a data connection... still nothing happens. I wait a little longer (about ten minutes) and i soft reset the phone. It takes longer to start up now but when it finally does, it updates the weather immediately.

hope this helps finding the problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
I've noticed the same thing...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Originally they were positioned to somewhat centre on a 200 pixel height area. So icons with rain sit higher (so the rain/lightning) didn't overlap the city name) while sunny icons were positioned lower down to centre them about 200.

I'll take a look at repositioning some of the LARGE animations in the upcoming week or so. Thanks for the list!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
<Post deleted>
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrhocuspocus:
Testing...

Well it IS doing something now! When i click on update i can see the data connection open (which it never did before) but an update never happens. It actually looks like it makes several attempts to update when the previous attempts fail.

Edit: Actually i just tried it again and it didnt even open the data connection. Is there anyway to only make the radar images update? Im not really too worried about having up to date temperature reading as i am being able to see an up to date radar image.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hmmm...ok. As for updating the radar images. I'm thinking that a mortscript could be created to download the images.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrhocuspocus:
Sounds promising, do you mean to write a script and run it externally to put updated images in the weatherpanel data folder? i looked at the radar data folder i have no idea whats going on in there for the naming of the files it downloads. Parts of the naming system make sense then it just seem like random numbers after the first dot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] custardo01:
Did not work for me. So frustrating.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Gudul:
Not shown in Plugin - solved

Uncheck Weatherpanel in the Star/Settings/Today/Items list.

This does not prevent seleting Weatherpanel and click options on the right to tune WP, but if it is cheked, WP won't be shown as a plugin in TouchFLo3D/Weather settings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vj4:
HAs any one found any uk (prefrubly southcoast) images on the net because i cant find any that get updated daily let alone hourly etc? love the app skin dude!!! no probs so far (besides this).
[Windows Mobile Themes] mploetner:
on my Polaris everytime the icon appears on upper left corner instead of centered. I installed everything from scratch multiple times tried phone memory ore storage card. followed the instructions exactly from point to point. but nothing helped. last time it worked and looked good but after first weather update same again. I used the newes versions of all.

any hint?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Looks a lot like http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2567048&postcount=734 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2528334&postcount=567 which means you probably didn't perform step #5 of the instructions...i.e. install the large icon set.
[Windows Mobile Themes] solaleye:
2. If you have a QVGA device copy "Manila" folder into your WeatherPanel\Themes folde

Thanks for your hardwork. Which "Manilla" folder are you referring to and where do i get it from. After installing the marware weather panel, do i need to configure it? ... thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mogul mogul:
Complete doofus here-

Sorry for the dumb question, but I haven't been able to search out an obvious answer - is there any downloadable theme for SPB mobile shell 2.1 for this? Also, I see the author has put together several downloadable options, but which of these are in use in the pics on page 1, if not SPBMS2.1

Thanks guys, and I'm not a dev so sorry if this was covered before and I'm just too stupid to see it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Hazzan:
Hi,

I have followed all the steps needed to make WeatherPanel working properly and i have successfully integrated it in the TL as plugin in TF3d weather tab.

But now i don't know if is a problem but every time i tap on the screen to view something of the weather panel, it makes a "bip" very noising...

There is a way to fix it or this is because the trial version?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See the first post. Download the "Weatherpanel v5.4 Theme" file. When you unzip that you will have a "Manila" folder and a "Manila WP Icons" folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See FAQ on first page. The only way to stop this is go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications and uncheck "Events (warnings,system events)"
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
See the FAQ at the bottom of the first post. This is not compatable with SPB Mobile Shell.

Also, all three downloads on the first post (Marware weatherpanel, the Diamond WeatherPanel Theme, and the LARGE animtation icon sets) are necessary to generate what you see in the pics on page 1, post 1.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mogul mogul:
Thanks - I grabbed all of the relevent data, but I did see one "spb mobile shell one tab" thing you put together, so I figured someone else followed through with the rest somewhere else.

I'll keep reading about what shell set you're using, might be better than SPB so I am curious.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
My SPB Menu theme that I put together can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2326335&postcount=28. It is based off of some other work by Greatball but I deleted all pages except for the program launcher.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mploetner:
no followed all the rules but solved it by myself.... needed to delete the moon folder
[Windows Mobile Themes] jvan269:
Weather Panel Plugin solved!!!

Gudul...Thank you for the big big help. That did it and now I am up and running 100%
[Windows Mobile Themes] TriCkYiCe:
First...this is AMAZING work, and I'm really exited about it. That said, I would love to donate for your time and effort if I can use your icon-set, but, as I am on a Treo 800w, I have a 320x320 screen. It seems that my resolution kind of throws things off a bit. Any chance of working towards a layout with all of your current icons that would be suitable for that res?

Also -- I use UL and I have the tab set at about half of my screen size. Some of the other layouts that have worked for me have sort of a 2-line display -- 1 line for today's current weather (high and low and an icon included) and a 2nd line for the 5-day forecast in small icons. Would that be doable as well?

I look forward to hearing from you, and, if there are fixes I can try to make this work in my setup on my own, I'm more than willing to try.

Thanks again for all of your time and effort -- it is GREATLY appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
My theme includes a 1-line layout...does that display correctly on your device? If so then a 2-line layout as you suggest should be straight forward.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Hey Rumball, the updated large icons look good so far, is there any news on 19 and 22 (which ever is Haze) this has the same issue of sitting lower, i have also noticed in the new continuous package 19 or 22 (the Haze) is not continuously animated.

Let me know if you need more info.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ya...I haven't updated smoke and haze (19 and 22) yet. For those ones I want to see if I can find movies of the actual HTC Diamond versions of smoke and haze so that I can better replicate them. At the moment I just made them up myself. I'm hoping the Herzilla (sp?) project comes through so that I can load Manila on a PPC emulator to view some of the more rare weather conditions and give me an idea as to how they are supposed to look.
[Windows Mobile Themes] TriCkYiCe:
Hey Rumball...thanks for your quick response!

Yes -- the 1-line displays nicely on my Treo, and I've created a 2-line .wpl file. However, I can't seem to figure out how to space it properly. Any direction on the format of the .wpl file?

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

Added afterwards:

I realized that all I needed to do was decrease the overall height of the window.

I think the last things I'd love to have are a possible 6th day of forecast because there is plenty of room for it and on the screen with the detailed forecast (pop-up window), the height needs to be decreased slightly to fit on my screen. Any quick way for me to fix that?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The simplest way to create a 2-line wpl file with the first line being the current weather, and the second line being the extended 5-day forcast would be to edit the 1-line wpl file, add about 60 to the height, and then copy the 5-day forecast section from the manila-5day layout. Basically append the following to the layout file:
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
hey rumball, how do we get the updated large animated icons? as thats the only thing i see updated for the sept 3rd release. thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] TriCkYiCe:
@Rumball --

That's almost exactly what I did. :-) However, the pop-up windows appear to have size issues in the 320x320 resolution. I'm not sure where to find the information regarding that.

More specifically, on the window that appears if I click on the current weather, the current temperature and "last update" fields are cut off at the top.
[Windows Mobile Themes] omahajs:
Rumball -

Great work on this Weatherpanel theme. It's by far my favorite. One thing that has been a problem for me in the last couple of releases is an error message after tapping on the large icon from the details screen. I always get "invalid layout file or waiting on storage card" message. This only happens if I go tap on the large icon to go to the radar/details/update page, then tap on the icon again to go back to the main screen.

It wasn't a problem in the first version I downloaded a month, or so ago.

Any idea how this can be fixed?

Thanks again.

Edit: Nevermind...I have several versions of this theme installed and forgot to rename my wpl file with the latest update. All works as it should now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sculpture:
When setting up the radar, I get some to work and others do not, copy paste on my PC show them to be correct addresses, could jpeg size be an issue?
[Windows Mobile Themes] palmor:
Sorry if this was answered (I did search but didn't find an answer). Does anyone know if there is a way to integrate this into the htc_home plugin? I think this is great but I'd like it to pop up when I select the weather icon from htc_home.

thanks

John
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I'm not an HTC Home plugin expert...but my guess would be that this is not possible. WeatherPanel is a today plugin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hmmm...I've never had a problem with radar images. What is the image link that you are trying to use as a radar image? I'll try it out on my setup.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Hey Rumball,

Where are the September 3 updates at? I can't find them at the bottom in a zip like you did with the other updates.

Hopefully I get a chance to change my Windows theme this weekend back your Diamond skin. Kind of got tried of the WM7 one already. Lol! Hopefully I get a break from all the reading so I can play with my phone a little. Law school sucks! :(

Hi.. Thanks for this beautiful Theme. I have a quick question.. I followed all of the install instructions but the large icon is not animated. Do i have to to donate for any kind of animation?. The smaller icons are fine. Its just the larger one.. I downloaded the trial ver..
[Windows Mobile Themes] tekkon:

[Windows Mobile Themes] chocmatic:
Does anyone have small static icons?

I was trying to use the animated icons with phatphinger theme and it wouldnt work properly
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaiser_chef:
hi awesome work what is the going rate to get the aminated icons i want them :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
@ kaiser_chef and jok3sta

this is from the first post by Rumball
[Windows Mobile Themes] jok3sta:
Yes I completely understand that.. Buttt It says the animated icons posted are trial icons that are animated for 3 secs. So i figured they would at least do that. Otherwise there would be no purpose of having the download link to the animated icons if its pretty much the same as the static ones .. Usually a trial means You get to test it out prior to the purchase. I wouldnt want to purchase them only to find out it does not work for me.. If i find out these work for me them I am definately going to purchase them
[Windows Mobile Themes] Spiderman313:
Is there a way to use these icons with the Phatfinger theme and how?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jok3sta:
Dont know if its goin to work for me but i donated any way. I figure even if it doesnt work its still a great theme.. But hopefully it does. Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaiser_chef:
i got everything working on my xda orbit 2 i have just donated as i want the full animated icons this is by far the best theme ive seen well done
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikesDroid:
Good work....

I have added a new tab on my Sbp Pocket Plus today plugin, and have also added the Weather Tab plugin hoping that I could trick Pocket Plus into having the Weather Tab icon (which changes) and also the Weather Panel within the tab.

Basically I want to use Weather Panel on my Pocket Plus today plugin but use the spb icon that changes according to the weather. Any ideas??
[Windows Mobile Themes] beeasy215:
this is cool
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The trial animations are IDENTICAL to the full version animations...just without the "TRIAL" words in the four corners.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
You should just be able to add a new generic tab (NOT the SPB Weather Tab) and simply assign WeatherPanel to the tab as a today plugin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikesDroid:
I was looking for an icon that changes according to what the weather is. Such as using my Spb weather plugin icon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Hey Rumball,

I have a request, the new version of the animated icons is great, just wondering if you can create a version of those that only animate once and are not continuous, please send me a link if you do, thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] jok3sta:
Jus incase anyone cares, I figured out why mine wasnt working. Apparently if there is a .png file and a .wpa file in the same folder the program uses the .png by default.. What happened was i initially used the static icons then switched to the animated. For some reason i though the animated ones would overrite the static ones, but this is not the case. I deleted all of the .png files and I all good now.. Thanks Rumball for this Great theme... Disregard the last email I sent because I figured it out on my own.
[Windows Mobile Themes] peligon1:
what are the chances of this on the iPhone and where do i obtain permission to use it and maybe some support in porting it out to work on the phone
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
There was an effort by Doreen (http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=258530) to port this over to the iPhone but there was a problem with the iPhone being able to display all the frames of animation. May want to contact Doreen to see if she's getting any further with this project.
