I used to use UL but switched over to ThrottleLaunher as I found UL to be too tempermental (it loved to lock up my Tytn-II). I don't use any applications that pull up the tray icon so don't know what you can do about that. I believe that with ThrottleLauncher the tray is hidden by default.

As for the Paypal link...it is on the first post right above the FAQ:

While the Diamond WeatherPanel Theme and Static Icon sets are free, the animation icons are not. They must either be purchased or you must be a senior member on XDA to download the full version of the animation icons. After making a payment at PayPal (here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...ode=USD&lc=CA&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8 )you'll get an e-mail (to your account associated with PayPal) providing the download link to the non-trial icons. Please allow up to 24 hours. Senior members here at XDA can simply PM me. There is no fixed cost for the animation icons. Whatever you want to contribute.

Once again Rumball, you have done a fantastic job with this program!!!

It keeps getting better with every little tweak! Nicely done! :D

Just want to point one item out incase you missed it:

When you click the middle of the animation and the options menu rolls out on the right side. However, when you go to any option (ie multi-day view, radars, graphs), the page for those are small than the regular page and the options menu can be seen. Just wanted to point it out incased you missed it. If that is how it is meant to be, then nevermind.

Thanks for the best weather program man!
[Windows Mobile Themes] sidewind:
ok so what is the difference functionality wise between trial and non trial is there any???
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
There is no difference in functionality. The WeatherPanel theme is fully functional regardless of whether you donate to obtain the LARGE animations without the "TRIAL" words.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Thanks tilt4life2. I'm not sure what'a causing your screen to look that way. I just double checked all 5QVGA layouts and couldn't reproduce. Are you referring to one of the new VGA layouts?

And just a note...any time there is an update make sure to copy all files from the release.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sidewind:
ok so then i take it as everyone is having this problem with being unable to update over GPRS??
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Hmmm... Well I have a Tilt and I deleted the Manila folder from my phone along with the Icons folder (except the Large folder). Then I placed the Larger folder in the new 5.4 Icons folder and I copied that along with the Manila folder to my phone. I didn't mess with the fonts since I already have those fonts from previous installs.

I did a soft-reset and weatherpanel looks fine in the main screen. But when I click on the detail, graphs, or radars, I leaves a couple of millimeters on the right side. I try a re-install and see if maybe I did something wrong. Or maybe someone else can see if they are also having a similar issue. More than likely it is me so I will let you know if it was something wrong I did and what that was if I figure it out.

thanks for the reply again
[Windows Mobile Themes] vcysion:
Hey Rumball, great work as always. i got a "request" tho, i use it with throttle launcher but i only hide the taskbar thats above the softkeys and not the actual soft keys, so is there anyway you can make a theme to fit that size, i currently use the regular manila theme and it fits fine but as you know, it doesnt refresh correctly with throttle launcher, it shows text overlapping text. i basically need it to fit throotle launcher like the following picture
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
To tweak the size of the layout to your available space is really easy (see FAQ in first post)

Edit Manila-TL.wpl and Forecast-TL.wpd (or Manila-TL-5day.wpl and Forecast-TL-5day.wpl if you are using the 5-day layout) with a basic text editor. The first line in the file specifies the height in pixels. Decrease this to the height that fits right for your layout. 200 is the height of the non-TL layout...so maybe want to try that and then tweak from there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok...I do know about the few pixels on the left and right hand side of the screen...but you can see the buttons underneath? Are you using UltimateLaunch or ThrottleLauncher? Are you using a TL layout?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ahhh...ok you're talking about the WeatherPanel application...not my theme. Yes, the Trial version of the application has the same functionality as the purchased version.

As for update over GPRS...as I indicated in my post #660 and as talked about on the weathrpanel.net forums at http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=27c52ff661ba370143c5d6609e765051, it is not uncommon for people to run into GPRS update issues. I have this occur once every couple weeks...and usually reloading the weatherpanel plugin solves the problem (disabling it and reenabling). Occassionaly I swap my DLL to connect to the alternate server if one is down.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vcysion:
Oh man, i missed that, i really do apologize for asking that redundant question but i really do appreciate the answer and pointing me in the right direction. I'm gonna edit the files right now. again, great work man, i really love the theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hey no problem. Post your layouts here once you're happy with them and I'll make a link in the FAQ.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stutzmason:
rumball ....i have updated to 5.4 .... copied all the folders as you suggested .... and deleted the .png files... soft rebooted .... I'm using TL also ..... my small icons are still the goofy ones from weatherpanel ...... is ther a possible conflict with TL that will keep them from displaying properly ...I'm at my wits end here ... help please ....any ideas????
[Windows Mobile Themes] vcysion:
ok, but i'm having a problem now with the side option windows (stats, the week weather and moons, radar/traffic cams), when ever i hit one in the regular manila theme, it would lay over the screen including the softkeys, but the TL one doesnt go over the softkeys, its falls behind it, so i guess i gotta edit something in those files to make it lay on top of the softkeys so it doesnt get covered. i'm gonna read the FAQ right now and see if i find anything about that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
It sounds like you either didn't copy the "Manila WP Icons" folder properly onto your storage card, or you didn't select "Manila WP Icons" in WeatherPanel setup.

If the only problem is with the SMALL icons (medium and large show fine), check to make sure you have .wpa files in your "WeatherPanel\icons\Manila WP Icons\SMALL" folder. If it's all setup correctly...one other thing you can try is edit Manila-TL-5day.wpl (I assume you are using the 5-day TL layout?) and change

#DAY-ICON-CUSTOM-SMALL# to #DAY-ICON-SMALL#. See if that changes anything for you (note there are 5 locations in the file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Please clarify something for me. With the purchase of the animated icons, am I to understand that all sizes are included? To be honest with you, the smaller animated icons seem to function very well, except for the 'sunny' and 'clear' icons which don't continue to rotate. Other than the large icons is there a difference in the purchased icons?

Thanks.

-Bob-
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The Diamond WP Theme v5.4 provided in the first provides full animated SMALL and MEDIUM icon sets. The LARGE animated icon set is available for download for those that donate towards my efforts. If you do not wish to donate towards this theme you can either stick with the trial LARGE animated set (with the "TRIAL" words in the corners of the animations) or use the LARGE static icon set available for download in the first post.

anyone got any vga, gif icons or weather wallpaper? I've searched high and low, but i got nothing...........
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Traveling right now. Will donate when I get home.

Any chance you can change the 'sunny' (32) and 'clear' (31) icons to continuously move in some way?:) I'm sold on the animated icons.

Thanks for a great theme. WP is still the best weather app out there.

[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
Rum, did you notice any difference in memory usage between 5.3a using Animated big icons to 5.4 with all animated icons?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I've been meaning to do this for a while now...so here ya go!

I've added looping 31 (clear night) and 32 (sunny) animations in small, medium, and large formats. Zip can be found attached to the first post. To install, unzip and copy overtop of your "Manila WP Icons" folder...allowing overwriting the six existing wpa files.

Enjoy! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ya...with the 5-day forecast and looping animations there will be extra memory used. This can be up to about 1 Meg if all 5 days have different weather forecasts (and therefore require displaying a unique icon/animation for each day).
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
Thanks.. i'll stick with 5.3a then.. it's wonderful.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Thank you very much! Will download and up date my files.

[Windows Mobile Themes] PWN:
Rumball many thanks again, the animated smaller icons are top. :)

I've been changing your theme a little and translated the static parts to german.

Now I'm including more information like UV and MOON-NEXT-EVENT.

I would like to change colour of UV if it's greater than 8.

But my script won't run as expected. Could you help me please?

In this Example the IF clause is executed and UV is printed red for every value of UV (0, 6, 8, 10)_

;IF UV>8 BEGIN

;TEXT

#UV#

186,98,54,14,L

Tahoma,12,BOLD,255-0-0

;ELSE

;TEXT

#UV#

186,98,54,14,L

Tahoma,12,BOLD,255-255-255

;END

Do you know what's wrong? :confused:

[Windows Mobile Themes] computerjunkie:
I'm having some problems with the way my screen looks. It seems somethings are being covered up by others...see screenshot below. Thanks for the help.

The temp and the city overlap

the temp is covered by the graphic

are both of these normal expected behavior? I have an HTC Vogue qvga(240x320)

thanks for your help
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
To fix the overlap of your city name you need to shorten it. Edit the city name in WeatherPanel setup and remove the ", VA" from the name.

As for your second image...looks like you never installed the large icon sets which are a seperate download.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Just wondering if anyone else has ran into my problem yet? And if yes, any solutions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Unfortunately I don't have UL installed anymore and so I can't recreate your problem. I did notice, however, that you are use the ThrottleLauncher layouts even though you are not using ThrottleLauncher. Try using Manila-5day rather than Manila-TL-5day to see if that resolves your problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Installed the new icons. One slight criticism: the clear night (31) icon seems to be positioned lower than the rest of the icons.

Thanks again for all the hard work.

Love the entire theme! I just made a donation and can't wait to get my hands on the full version. Again, great job! Keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
I have it running on UL with no problems.

Make sure you are using the right theme.

I'm using the 5-day short theme.

I accidentally set a TL theme the first and it locked up.

Could that be the problem your having?

Great work as usual Rumball.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I'll look into this a bit more but the problem is not isolated to WeatherPanel. According to SPB forums (http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9460&sid=fab0ce1a7c47ae27791bd1ec47585e5b), some SPB Weather users suffer from the same problem - can update weather over ActiveSync and Wifi but not GPRS.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Good eye Bob. I've shifted the clear night icons up and reposted.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
A cab just wouldn't work because of the size of the whole packege (I couldn't imagine a 70M cab file trying to unpack!)

Installation is really quite simple:

1) Install Marsware WeatherPanel on your Storage Card (link provided in first post)

2) Download my v5.4 theme and unzip to your PC's desktop

3) Explore your device using ActiveSync and navigate to Storage

Card\Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel

4) Drag and drop the "Manila WP Icons" folder from your desktop to the "Icons" folder in "Storage Card\Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel"

5) Drag and drop the "Manila" folder from your desktop to the "Themes" folder in "Storage Card\Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel"

6) Download the large icon set, unzip and drag and drop the "Manila WP Icons" folder into the "Icons" folder in "Storage Card\Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel"

7) Enable the WeatherPanel today screen plugin

8) Go to WeatherPanel settings, add your city, set theme to "Manila", layout to one of the Manila layouts, and Icons to "Manila WP Icons"

Done.

Big Fan

I just installed the full version and I must say it looks better than I thought. Great job man.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Not too sure...I've never tried that before... only question is should the first line be

;IF-UV>8-BEGIN

???

If that doesn't work...may want to post your question on weatherpanel.net...that's where all the Weatherpanel gurus roam.

Post your layout when your finished...I'm interested in seeing in ! :)

some versions cause this.

I checked and it had Manila as the theme. Then I set it as different one (ie Manila -5day, Manila short) and nothing. I might just need a complete reset of weatherpanel, but dont know if I should do it. It really isnt that big of a problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PWN:
Thanks for your hint to weatherpanel.net. I found the wiki and the answer - unfortunatly it's only possible to use if - else - end with current, current-actual, hourly and forecast.

I'm afraid, that it isn't possible to act differently depending on data.

My work is almost finished, I will post the screenshots tomorrow.

Love it, Love it, Love it, Love it, Love it - One question?

Did I mention that I love this. What a wonderful addition to my HTC Touch Elf. WOW. Amazing. Works wonderfully and was not very difficult to install and set up. Rumball, your instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I can't wait to get my hands on the full version of the large animated weather icons.

I have one question though. I Installed this last night and everythign was working great as expected. Everything fit perfect on my screen, large animated icons were in centre of screen; however, this morning, after I updated the weather manually, I noticed that the animated weather icon was no longer in the center of the screen but up in the upper left hand corner overlaping the temp. (It was aslo a smaller version of the usual animated icons). So I spent a couple of hours reading every page and every post in this thread (looking for a solution and noticed that several people have been metioning the same problem - ** Common sollution was that they did not have the large animated icon pack installed properly** ( I do have the trial pack installed properly as mostly they do appear. I also noticed one post mentioning that the trial pack does not have every large animated icon and that the FAIR DAY large animated icon was actually not included in the trial pack. It just so happened that the weather this morning was (a fair day). I look at it now and it shows mostly clowdy and I again am viewing a beautiful large animated icon of a sun with moving clouds in the center of my screen.

Am I understanding this right and if so Does the full version of your large animated Icons include some missing icons from the trial pack and will this correct the problem of the smaller icon appearing in the upper left corner over the temp reading.

Thank you very much for this. When I first saw the video for the Touch Diamond and the weather application, I was so jealous. I no longer have to be jealous thanks to you.

Rod

P.S. Did I mention that I really love this.

Throttle 9.3

Rumball, Great work on this. Currently I have Throttle launcher 9.3 installed but it does not show the weather panel plugin when I go into the settings. Only way for me to see the weather panel anything is to uncheck Throttle today in the Today Area: settings - personal - Today. Also in weather panel I have the same issue with the Fair day icons not displaying the large animated icon. Is the trail icons missing the Fair day Animation? Please check on both of these items and again Good Job.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ghost26:
I will cosign for the fair day icon missing. Are they included in the full set of icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrhocuspocus:
I love this thing, youve done a great job. I would like it more if it would actually update when i asked it to. Ive already searched through this thread and weatherpanel.net. It only updates randomly when i ask it to, most of the time it does update every hour by itself, but sometimes it doesnt. I can connect and pass verification. I also cant update through activesync either. Very seldomly it will actually update when i ask it to. Ive tried both of the weatherpanel.dll's nothing is working consistently, which is a shame bc of how beautiful this app is. Functional weather updates is a necessity for it to be useful. And from reading your post it seems like a common problem, hopefully it is an issue with the weatherpanel server and it gets sorted out. Thank you for a great looking app.

German translation and some modifications to V. 5.4

I'm still using UL and I modified detail-forecast and manila-5day to show more information on the screen (see captures English and German). If you tap on the diagram detail-stats will popup.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Yes...I can confirm that I forgot to include icon #34 (fair day) in the trial animations. You should be able to see that there is no 34.wpa file in your LARGE folder but that they do exist in SMALL and the root folder of Manila WP Icons.

The large 34.wpa is present in the non-trial version of the icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ya...I'm going to look into this myself. Unfortunately since I'm not the developer of the software and only have access to the binary executable...there is a limit to what I can attempt. My hope is that the software is timing out on a response from the server and I can simply get it to wait longer.

Throttle 9.3 Weatherpanel Setup

Does anyone know why throttle 9.3 does not have weather panel as a plug-in listing? I get weatherpanel to work but only when throttle launcher is disabled. I do see the Wp-pilot plug-in but that's as close as it comes. Maybe someones can help me update or refresh the plug-ins listed.

Ok, I just did a couple uninstall of WeatherPanel. I removed the program, then I went to Resco File Explorer and and searched for WeatherPanel and deleted everything. Then I search for WP and removed some other files.

After the complete uninstall, I went installed the WeatherPanel 2009 with data fixes and d/l'ed the 5.4 version. I copied over the Manila folder, copied the fonts, and then placed the Icons folder in my storage card. Fixed what I was supposed to and now the same thing. Wierd. I checked and the theme selected is Manila.

hmmm....
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
where are your icons located, storage card or in the weatherpanel folder?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Its saved on my Storage Card:

I keep getting the same problem that is displayed in the screenshots a few pages back. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok...I'm really confused by what could be causing the pop-up windows to not completely cover your today screen. I also don't know why there are no "OK" buttons in the top right of the screen when you indicate that you are using the non-TL layouts. They should all have OK buttons. In Ultimate Launch do you have any margins set up for this page?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PWN:
Hi tilt4life2

Try this:

Take manila-5day.wpl of my post #760 (rename.txt to .wpl). If you tap on the big temperature and detail-forcast popup with full width you can fix the problem. In all used .wpl and .wpd files you have to Change the popup sections. Replace W by 240.

;WINDOW-0

0,0,50,75

#VOID#

detail-forecast.wpd

0,24,W,296

POPUP

I had the same problem, this fixed it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
I'm not actually having trouble updating, but the update button doesn't seem to want to change as the update is started and running. Since the button doesn't react I'm forced to use the Setup/Update dialog. Might there be a fix to this?

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
One thing I have noticed is that ThrottleLauncher does not appear to let Weatherpanel execute (and therefore perform auto-updates) when the device is in standby/off. This is not the case when WeatherPanel executes directly on the today screen (i.e. not in ThrottleLauncher) Anyone else notice this? For my Tytn-II, it appears to not update until I turn on my device...then I can see the GPRS connection established and watch as WeatherPanel updates itself...even though it is long past due for an update.
