Both single and looping large QVGA animations are available in the 1st post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
thanks mate, much appreciated and very generous with making them free now, why the change of heart? anyway as soon as i get some dosh in my paypal account i will be sending you a little something to say thanks for all your help and on going work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hanackin:
great job Rumball as usual !!! :cool:

I would love to see a WVGA release in order to get rid of my standard weather tab :D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Ditto. Rumball, thanks for the update. Really love this theme. I'm geeked over weather!?!?!? Go figure! lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] billouetaudrey:
Okey I'm sorry ;(
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
Awesome job on the new layouts, icons, OK button and other changes. I get the new Throttle layout but not the graphs like yours. I still have the full size graphs with the new look but not the overlay combo graphs like in the pic. What am I missing?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
On the main screen click on the temperature on the top left corner...this will bring up the detailed forcast page shown in the picture.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
Toooooooo CCCOOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!:D

Donation on the way. You ARE the mannnn!:cool:

And speaking of cool , look at my weather here today. I hope I plugged the car in.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
Are you sure the legend is correct? One of these is backwards I think. The combo graph (above post) should show the "feels like" as being colder or a lower temp. Red should be "feels like" and gold or yellow should be the actual temp? The one below is correct but the legend needs to be the same in both so you need to switch colors or meaning in both.
[Windows Mobile Themes] J0nas:
very nice work Rumball!!

Do you have static\one loop icons except large icons, please?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ha! Good eye kbywg! ;) Yep...I just checked and the one on the details page is backwards...as you say...the "feels like" should be colder than the actual. I'll fix that and post an update later today.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
Here's another one. Below the city name.
[Windows Mobile Themes] storyr:
Rumball - this has been a long time coming: Great job on the PhatPhinger mods, integration in to other apps, AND the great animated icon sets!

What brought me over here was I saw your mods for the Omnia over at the French site actualitemobile. Looks like they got it from a Russian site! I figured it came from you...

I'll post up some links to your stuff on the WeatherPanel Index page I maintain over at ppcgeeks.

Also, the true URL for the WeatherPanel forum is http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/ (not pixel.citadel.org). See this post...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Thank you very much storyr! :D None of this would be possible without your fantastic work keeping WeatherPanel alive.

Thanks also for the link of the WP-mod from France/Russia...it looks really awesome! I've posted a link to it on my 1st post here. I've also corrected the weatherpanel link.

While I have you here...I was wondering do you know if there is a way to force weatherpanel to display a particular icon? I want to create a layout that will allow me to flip through all the LARGE animations regardless of the weather.
[Windows Mobile Themes] storyr:
Unfortunately, I think you'd have to include the icon images in the theme folder and refer to them explicitly with the ;IMAGE command...
[Windows Mobile Themes] kristokristo:
Thanks for all

It's been a long time since Rumball gives all of his fantastic work.

In the name of all, thanks friend.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AslamJahan:
Is there anyway of getting Rumbles icons to work with the PhatPhinger II WQVGA theme? That would be outstanding and worht a donation!;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hanackin:
I will thank you Rumball when there will be a WVGA version... LOL :D:D

cheers dude :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] namz:
Will this work for Elfin P3452 ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
If the "Elfin P3452" is a Pocket PC running WM2003 SE, WM5, or WM6 then the answer is yes. You will also need about 60 Megs free on your storage card.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
Hello Rumball, Has this been posted? There is no notice in the first post but I thought you may have fixed it and thrown it in without a mention.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mkouk:
Apologies if this has been asked before but is there a version of this for WVGA devices such as the X1i?:o
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Sorry...not yet...I've been distracted lately with my ThrottleLauncher Stocks work here on XDA. I do have my QVGA version fixed...but I want to go and fix the VGA and WQVGA versions as well and post the updates all at once.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Not specifically...have you tried the VGA version? I think it should work (though won't take up the full screen).
[Windows Mobile Themes] hanackin:
really ? :eek:

SO in that case I'm gonna try it right now!! :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Hi Rumball,

I have recently noticed that my combined graphs are quite small, i believe it is just an alignment issue and could be fixed by increasing the height of the graph, i have attached two screen shots, can you please advise which part of the layout i need to adjust to fix it, thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hanackin:
Ok so I think I missed something... :( I've followed the procedure in the post 1, I can see WP working on my today without no problems but how do I integrate it on the TF3D weather tab as in the screenshots ??? :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ahhh....well you can't unfortunately. The screenshots are showing WeatherPanel integrated into the ThrottleLauncher application...with a Touchflo3D/2D theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
You'll want to edit detail-forecast.wpl. Near the bottom of the file is the text;

;GRAPH

COMBINED BAR HOURLY LIMIT-24 TEMP COL1-255-0-0 COL2-255-154-41 COL3-0-0-255 COL4-0-255-255

9,139,205,95

The last number 95 is the height of the graph...so you can increase this to probably 120. Note that if you are using the Omnia (WQVGA) layout then the numbers will be half what is shown here.

I'll also be releasing an update shortly to address this.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hanackin:
ok...so bad.... thanks anyway, because it had a good display on my HD...:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I've updated my TouchFlo2D mod to this theme and attached it to the first post. This mod is now available in VGA, QVGA, and WQVGA versions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Hi Rumball,

I have a couple more questions, i have attached a couple of pics to help illustrate my problems, pic 1 is from your first post, the last update time, is that display configurable. At the moment mine displays day, date, year and then update time, is there anyway i can get it too display like you have eg. 1/1/2009 etc.

Ant the second pic, can you advise which file this is in the manila theme, thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
The file for the second image is handled by detail_summary.wpd.

For the first image, you'll need to edit detail-forecast.wpd. The area you want to look for is

So the first section has #DAY# which displays the day of the week ("Thu" in the pic you attachd) and #DATE-SHORT# outputs the date ("1/11/2009").

The second section has #UPDATE-TIME# which displays the time of last forecast download.

So you can delete or modify these sections to change how you would like it to display. Options are; DAY, DAY-NUM, DAY-LONG, UPDATE-TIME
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
Hello Rumball, You fixed the hourly temp-feels like-graph but the 24 hour combined temp/precip-feels like-is still wrong and the city name covers the condition text as in the attached pic.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
:confused: Are you sure you copied all the new files into your Manila theme folder and overwrote all the old ones? I've double checked what I uploaded and the file detail-forecast.wpd matches the one I am currently using...and my screen looks like the attached image...
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
OK I'll try again, BTW your screen shot in the 1st post still shows the old colors legend.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Cool, thanks, turns out i did have short date but the regional settings on my phone were incorrect for the short date.

I was wondering if you could advise how i could fix the attached screen, as you can see the icons are overlapping the city name more than they should be, is there any way to do a mass move by pushing the screen down rather than moving each individual image down, thanks

On closer inspection the icons are not positioned correctly and need to sit lower and the left column icons need to be moved closer to the left
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Ok, i have worked out why they are misaligned, i was using the old static medium icons, if i use the animated continuous icons from the latest update the layout is fine, however Rumball is there a static version that will work with the updated QVGA layout so i dont get the problem pictured above and if not is there any chance you post single play medium icons then, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
OK still not working for me. I've replaced the correct files in the correct folder and soft reset a few times, updated, and still the same "feels like" error. Has anyone else got this fix to appear correctly for them in Throttle Launcher?

Rumball I have attached my manila folder. Please advise. Thanx.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kreigz:
Another option for ThumCal is to go into the associated XML file and change it's installed location to your device (that's what I did).

The vertical bar for Weather Panel will show up if you use the updated WP theme Rumball posted a day or two after the original post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
As Kreigz indicates above, Version 2 of my WeatherPanel theme (available on 1st post) has the option toolbar roll out vertically rather than along the bottom. It also has a few other mods.

As for the FaceContacts...ya...originally I was using an XIAMultiTheme page (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396910) to display contacts but went for CnetX Face Contacts instead. There is rumoured to be a version coming out soon that allows you to make the images larger.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superman80:
rumball,

now i could not update the weather info in the weather panel. any idea? my last update was yesterday noon. i tried many times but nothing happen. thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
link to version 2 is dead :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Are you trying to update over GPRS or WiFi/ActiveSync? I have an update DLL I can post that will work over GPRS (atleast on Rogers in Canada it works)
[Windows Mobile Themes] superman80:
i tried using gprs and active sync but both fail... i normally use active sync...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ok...try using this DLL. To use,

1) disable WeatherPanel (or UltimateLaunch if you have WeatherPanel running in UltimateLaunch).

2) In your WeatherPanel installation folder make a backup copy of WeatherPanel.dll (or rename it to something like "WeatherPanel.dll.bak")

3) Then replace the DLL with the one found attached in "WeatherPanel- My Patched DLL.zip".

4) Re-enable the WeatherPanel/UltimateLaunch today plugin

NOTE: The above assumes you are using WP v2.51. If you're not...then get v2.51 first!

Let me know if this works for you. It solved my problem of not being able to update. If this doesn't work for you, you can also try the actual WeatherPanel forum at http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=8bcb1da155eebb67327a8ab5b4d9b722
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I've corrected the link to version 2 on the first page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hey everyone...I updated my WeatherPanel skin to correct and modify several of the weather icons. I found a few mistakes where the icons didn't match up with the weather description. These have been corrected.

You can find version 3 on the first post.

No animations yet but I'm still researching it. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] superman80:
hi, i tried replacing the dll file but i got the error " enter registration code". i'm using the full version with a serial. any idea? or i should use the trial version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
thanks. for it all.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I found a few mistakes in the weather icons relating to winter/snow. I've updated the weather icons and added a link to the first post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
I hope this question doesn't sound too dumb, but I want to ask it just so I don't mess anything up and have to reset my phone:

Do I just download the 4th version and install it on the phone? Or do I have to install V3 and then add the contents from the 4th Rapidshare link to the v3folder?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Nevermind, after a re-reading the OP, I figured it out. One thing though, version 3 of WP is missing the Fonts folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Problem:

I keep running into a problem someone can hopefully help me with:

With the rlToday/ThumbCal apps, when I click the left month (July), I get an error messages sayings it is not signed or missing components, but when I click on the right month (August), ThumbCal pops up. Any solutions?

Also, on the Home screen, when I click on the VoiceMail icon, it asks if you want it to call the VoiceMail box, but when I say yes, it doesn't do anything. It just takes me to my dialpad. Any solutions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
My rlToday skin assumes that ThumbCal is installed on the SD card. If it isn't then you need to go into your rlToday\Calendar folder and edit the skin.xml file with a text editor. In the file you will see TWO occurances of <OnClick File="\Storage Card\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe" /> change BOTH to point to your installation location.

Go to the "Adv" tab of the PhoneAlarm settings. Scroll down to "Voice mail" and enter your voice-mail phone number. My guess would be that you did not fill this in.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tilt4life2:
Thanks again Rumball. I figured out the Voicemail as I was playing around with my phone at work.

I am loving this setup on my Tilt.

Is there any BatteryStatus skins around that show the battery icon, storage card, etc in large icons? Sort of how SPB Pocket Plus does? I have searched on the forums and online, but I cant seem to find any.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Hey fellow Diamond WP users. I'm starting to play around with the animations and thought I'd post what I've done so far. Nothing too special...I've done the "Sunny" icon and the "Mostly Sunny" icon animations. I'm learning things as I go so I'm starting off simple:p

Attached you'll find a zip file containing 30.wpa and 34.wpa. Copy these into the icons\LARGE folder of my Diamond weather panel theme and temporarily rename 30.pna and 34.pna (for example...change the extension to .bak or something).

Let me know what you all think. I'm not sure I can get the animations as smooth as the actual Manila animations. If there's enough interest then I'll work to create the full set.

Ofcourse the down side will be that the WP theme will take up more space (~10x). While one image is currently ~35K, the animation is about 400K a piece! Maybe I can find a more optimum way of compressing the animations.

Anyway...enjoy! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Syd159:
I like it. I like it very much. :)

It would be great if the animations will be available in a loop. Is it possible?
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
yes please do a complete set. I would love it!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
You've got a mixture of old files and new files in your folder. None of the -TL files are needed anymore (and haven't been updated in a while). You can delete all the files with "TL" in their filename.

My guess is that you are currently using the Manila-TL or Manila-5day-TL layouts in your WeatherPanel configuration...chose either "Manila" or "Manila-5day" and you'll be using the new layouts.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
@rumball, check your PM and see attached folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
These files are different then the "QVGA TouchFlo2D Mod.zip" versions attached to the first post. Download the ones attached to the first post and your problems should be gone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
FINALLY!!!!! There it is. Where the hell did I get those other TouchFlo2D QVGA WP MOD files. Thanx man, donation to follow. Excellent support Rumball.
[Windows Mobile Themes] csgreeley:
Theme (newbie question)

I have been using WP for 2 years now and love it. I have updated to the most recent version (2009.CAB) and the most recent mortscript. My question is simple...

I'd like to have my today screen be a picture of my kids, but when I tap on WP (using the Manila.WP icons, Diamond .tsk) that the picture is replaced by the black background of Diamond.

Me: Sprint, WM5, PPC6700, WP2009, Manila-1line.wpl, Manila-QVGA

Thanks,

Chris
[Windows Mobile Themes] csgreeley:
Moon (newbie question)

Sorry for the rapid questions...

Currently running WP with Manila-QVGA theme and the -1line layout. Things are ok. When I tap on the "-1line" and get the WP screen, the moon (and I suspect the sun during the daytime) is small and in the left upper corner (over the temperature). I have read through the thread and cannot find out how to fix this. Any guidance is welcome.

When running the 5day layout, the sun (and moon) is in the top left corner, covering the temperature.

Otherwise this is primo!

Me: Sprint, WM5, PPC6700, WP2009, Manila-1line.wpl, Manila-QVGA

Thanks,

Chris
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
It sounds like you skipped step #4 in the instructions (i.e. downloading the LARGE icon set)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
To add a background PNG image to weather panel...place a copy of the image in the WeatherPanel\Themes\Manila folder and rename it to background.png. I've attached the diamond background to this post so you can use this one.

Next add the following text at the beginning of each .wpl, .wpd, and .wpx file (excluding Manila-1line.wpl):

Haven't tried this myself but it should work...
[Windows Mobile Themes] devilprinz:
Hi every1, could sum1 pls show me where to download the old small/medium non animated icons? I overwrote with the new icons over the old static ones not knowing it was animated. My hp could not handle the animations.

Appreciate if there is still somewhere i can get the old icons please.

Thank you.

Okay... managed to figure it out. It didnt overwrite the .png fliles. Just deleted the .wpa files. Got my static icons back :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
WOW that's a lot of editing. How do I add that text to a .wpl file? They are Media Player files on my device. Excluding the 1 line there are 2 other .wpl files. Anyway you could do this as an update or future release? Option to change backgrounds.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] zumi78878:
i have touchflo 2d, meaning manilla 2d. i have one question. how do i change the weather tab so the weather is from weatherpanel instead?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
These files are simply text files...so you can copy them to your desktop PC and open them up with notepad to edit.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Hi Rumball,

Not sure if you answered this already but is there any chance you could post some single play or static medium icons, thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I currently don't have any of the medium animations in single play format...I'll see about generating some when I have some time to kill.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
thanks dude
[Windows Mobile Themes] One Hype:
How do you disable the hourly fix from initiating on boot up? I have selected to run it manually, but every time I soft reset, that annoying notification pops up. Can I delete the file from the startup folder in the windows directory? I just don't want the notification popping up every time I soft reset since I only use weatherpanel with second today, so the hourly fix is worthless. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I imagine you can simply delete the files but you should really first read the posts at the actual weatherpanel forum (http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=d6e53e2e679214c1139eb76b7cbae126) since that is where the tool was developed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] One Hype:
Yeah I did and still am confused on how to do this. Can you please help me? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ferfecir:
http://depositfiles.com/files/2wt3sc5xd

problem ??
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
I would if I knew the answer. Try and delete the file like you suggested. Failing that post your question on the weatherpanel thread so that the developer of the "Hourly Data Fix" can answer your question.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Install the large icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ferfecir:
Where is the link from any of the great large icons in print?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
In step 4 of the installation instructions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ferfecir:
sorry :( ok man
[Windows Mobile Themes] devdarshan:
Add a new XIAMultitheme TAB/Plugin

Hi Rumball (Or anyone fimilar with XIAMultitheme) !!!

I have a quick question if you can answer please!

I am running animated Weather panel integrated into the Diamond theme...everything works great after I followed your setup. Thanks.

My Query is - in your setup - I need to add a few more tabs. I added into UL and the plug in works fine. But in your setup you use the XIAMultitheme as a header in Calander, Home etc. To have a consistent look, I need to integrate that into the 3 new tabs. But in XIAMultiTheme it only has options for 5 additions.

Although it says in XIAMultitheme - that you can add upto 32 more - I am unable to find the procedure on their website or to add the additional entries so they can come up as Today Plugin in the UL Selection.

Can you please help me out in explaining on how I can add these additional plugin entries in XIAMultiTheme

Thanks

Dev
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Ya...sorry...I ran into the same question when I was using XIAMultiTheme...it states you can have up to 32 but I couldn't figure out how to get past 5. I've moved on to ThrottleLauncher which can perform the functions of both UltimateLaunch and XIAMultiTheme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaanHAN:
thanks alot. it is very beautiful and user friendly. i am sharing your theme package in mobileturk.org by your permissions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Sure thing kaanHAN...share away! :D Please also put a link back to this thread if people are interested in making a donation.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaneelias:
Hey Rumball,

Not sure where you are with creating some single animated or static medium icons but i also would like to request a large static number 22 icon (Smoke), i use the weather wallapaper and would like to add this to my set.

Seeing as i am in Melbourne and with what has gone on here this week i am expecting to see the smoke icon for a while.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaanHAN:
ok i will share your donation link also. but i have a question, how can we put it into manilla 2D? into weather tab?

it would be great if it can be used under manilla. because, as the mobileturk.org members - mostly omnia users - like manilla and loved your theme package. if it could used on manilla weather tab, i think donations from turkey would become accelerated.

but completely good job. congratulations.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaanHAN:
Rumball

do you have any idea to use weatherpanel on the manilla 2D's weather tab?

and there is your link in turkish if you want to check. we all thank alot to you..

here
[Windows Mobile Themes] dwallersv:
It's just not going to possible to use this totally awesome weather app in M2D because it's a Today Plugin.

This, of course, makes it very cumbersome to use it with M2D.

A reasonable solution would be to wrap it with what I'd guess is very trivial code to launch it as an application. I've searched the net and can't find anything like that -- anyone know of such a beast? I.e. a wrapper that can launch a today plugin outside of Today?

Anyone want to write one?

You'd be a hero...
