yep, the counts are in the reg, just not the preview of the messages. The messages are still there after refresh, and there count in the reg are still there after refresh. You will still have the message indicator icons in the iconbar after a refresh as well, what you lose is the message count and preview that are in the notifications panel. But it is easily checked in reg for a "0" count before refreshing. It might be easier to just have a soft key on the forecast panel set to do a manual refresh so user could do it when they are ready. You could add the necessary reg values yourself to do a manual refresh from a soft key, if you need the chomerefresh.exe, i can post it.
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Chome Configurator makes it really easy to set the action URL (which I'll set to run your utility) for the right softkey or better yet, when I click OK on the first forcast panel.

That would be very cool if you can post that utility :)

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Here you go, just unzip and place where you want it on your phone. It runs by clicking on it, no installation. Just set actionurl or sk2url to run it.
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Thanks.

I am going to try to implement that idea I had to check for 0000 count and run your utility on the next 60 min refresh if all counts are zero.

You wouldn't happen to know the regkey locations for the notification "count" panel do you?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count

HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread\Count

HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Total\Unread\Count

HKCU\System\State\Phone\Missed Call Count
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Cool - I'll give it a shot...Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] tamanaco:
First of all, thanks to NRG for such a great app. So far everything is working as expected on my Blacjack II with WM 6.1 except for the panel's font. The default AT&T HomeScreen of the BJII either uses a bold or a larger size Segoe font. I think it was just "bold" in certain areas of the HomeScreen which made it a lot easier to read. I looked at the .cpr files, but it was not obvious to me what needed to be changed to get the original "bold" font back in the panels. Any suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
It seems those values are for "unread" messages, and not the "new messages" count that the notification panel uses.

Meaning, if you have 4 "unread" SMS's, opening just one SMS will clear the entire SMS count in the notification panel, but there will still be a "3" value in HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Total\Unread\Count.

Is their an alternative regkey location for the notification "new" count?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
People back on track this the title thread at hand.

There are/is a thread for unchecked messages.

Heres one
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hehe :P :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Auto-update forcast panels

OK,

Here is a slight variation to NRG's default script that will additionally (and automatically without a reboot) refresh the forcast panel/pages everytime the main weather is updated in the clock plugin.

Note about this updated script:

1) Extract the "CHomeRefresh.exe" file from the zip file located near the bottom of this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=403343&page=36

and place the file CHomeRefresh.exe in the main MiniWeather directory (program files\nrg\chomeminiweather)

2) Unzip the file "weather.mscr" from this download link:

http://www.omnisoft.com/pocketpc/weather.zip

and place it into the same main miniweather directory (program files\nrg\chomeminiweather) *** You may want to rename the existing one first so you can easily go back to the original version of this script

3) This script is NOT for use with the TestUIPlugin 10-day-on-one-page layout. This script is designed for the 10-page forcast panel that does NOT use the TestUIplugin - if you use this script with the TestUIplugin it will probably crash your homescreen (so I am told).

4) This script will only refresh the forecast pages if all of the SMS/VoiceMail/MissedCalls and "Otheremail" counts are Zero. If any one of these counts are not zero, then the forecast screens will NOT be updated/refreshed because doing so would clear these counts. Keep in mind that this script will ignore if there are any new/unread "outlook" emails - the only email counts it checks for are any extra POP/IMAIL accounts that you setup on the phone.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Interesting... Would you mind if I implemented this in the new 1.1 vesion that I put out ? While we're at it, you can check to see if the TestUIPlug is active and just not refresh if it is... Much better than relying on the user guessing if it is or not.. hehe
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Sure :)

I figured there was a way, but my time is very limited and I didn't know how to check for it off the top of my mind.

Looking forward to version 1.1!
[HTC Excalibur] driguez:
I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to NRG, im loving this app and yes i been showing it off to everyone lol.. gotta to say its my fav app as of yet... man it would be nice to have a panel with news/sports updates :D!!! i know i know thanx anyway man!
[HTC Excalibur] rizwan157:
sorry what is the code for london
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Try this:

activeplugins = RegRead("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\CHome","plugins")
If (NOT Find(activeplugins,"CTestUIPlugin"))
Run("\Program Files\NRGMiniWeather\CHomeRefresh.exe")
EndIf

Check the chomerefresh location, I didn't know the exact spot.

Glad to see you back involved:)
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
With the update to 1.1 could I install over the existing? Or would I have to uninstall first?
[HTC Excalibur] driguez:
Well i tried 1.1, and in my honest opinion i prefer v1. To begin with for some odd reason the monitor always shows the battery full and the mem bar at 13. I also prefer v1 clock layout, it looks much cleaner. However i do like 1.1 icons better than v1. Also i did not see a dif in downloading the forecast. Anyways im loving it, great little app bro :cool: And again thanx for ur efforts.

BTW jacknmary i deleted v1 and installed 1.1
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
When I installed 1.1 it uninstalled 1.0 automatically.

1.1 is sweeeet...one small thing though - in the settings panel it still says 1.0 not 1.1?
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
Hmmmmm... I will wait until i get a definite answer. Love the app...
[HTC Excalibur] tamanaco:
I've been using NGR MiniWeather 1.0 on a BJII for a couple days and it's been working just fine. I just installed NGR MW 1.1 and noticed that I can no longer change the Color Scheme using the phone's Setting/Display/Home Screen/Color Scheme: It does not matter which Scheme I choose it goes back to Default. Is this WAD?... The HomeScreen is set to Sliding Panel Weather.

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
I'm on a BJ2 also, but not experiencing this issue; but it does require a reboot for the change to take effect. I believe this is a known issue with using the TestUI panel.
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
When I ran the cab on my BJ2, first thing I got was a prompt that 1.0 "must be uninstalled before installation can continue". I let it uninstall 1.0 and everything worked fine...On other hardware, I'm sure YMMV...
[HTC Excalibur] ninjaap:
If I use the normal layout in 1.1, the weather icon in the clock panel looks sqooshed. Can I fix this somehow?
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
Thanks, guys... installed and running. Love it.
[HTC Excalibur] tamanaco:
Even after I reboot the changes do not take effect... Not a big deal. I can wait until is fixed. Btw, do you get the original "Bold" Sogoe font that comes with the Default AT&T HomeScreen with the modified HomeScreen in your BJII?... I'm assuming that the "bold" font is disabled by default to accomodate the MiniWeather layout. I wish I could enable it as it would make it easier to read the screen.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
The iconpath is 2051;2051 for the original clock panel icon.
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
thank u sir.
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
Nice Job!

I loved the original Chome Weather. This one is even better. Great job!
[HTC Excalibur] djnutz:
good job man. works perfect, looks awesome, and digging the clock panel.
[HTC Excalibur] strongsteve:
Will the panel not update if the phone is locked? or.. will it just not do the "incoming" if its locked but will still update? My phone is locked most of the time. Thanks for a wonderful app.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The information and the pictures will update while the phone is locked, however you will have open up the phone application (or any other application) and then go back to the homescreen in order to see the changes :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
On another note.. is anybody else experiencing the stuck on 50% updating EF problem ? It seems weather.com doesn't want to supply the forecast info correctly today... :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
That's actually been an issue going on about 3 days now, who knows what there problem is. Maybe it will clear up soon.:)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well, I saw OD talking about it, but I thought he was talking about Yahoo's servers ? Maybe he was confused..
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
yea i get that EF issue unless im connected via wifi...i think it terminates the connection or something.
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
I've been getting that same problem. Sometimes it updates correctly and sometimes (most of the time) it doesn't. So this is a weather.com issue?
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
Same problem here, works over Wifi though.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yeah the 50 is where weather .com starts up but it may have to do with tmo to because I haven't had the issue on at&t:)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yep, it is. My phone has been doing it all day yesterday and even now as I'm writing this. Let's just be patient and hope they will fix this glitch... :/ In the mean time I am releasing a patch that will update the weather even though weather.com doesn't respond, for the extended forecast :) The way it works now, if the extended forecast routine doesn't finish, the script gets stuck and never autoupdates after that. This patch will fix that as well...
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
Hi NRG, I wanted to tell you that the patch worked like a charm. I'm really happy with this app as it is. I don't see how it can be improved (altough you never stop surprising us) so by now I don't have any suggestions. I don't have the 50% EF problem. The only thing I could suggest if the update can be done by proxy (I use internet from the usb cable and my pc), but it's just a personal issue so it's not a big deal.

Congratulations and keep up the good work
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I dont think the app cares if you go through a proxy or not, but I can use the "SetProxy" function to see if that helps you anyway. For now, if you're handy with a text editor, like notepad, edit the weather.mscr file in \program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\ and add SetProxy(yourproxyname:8080) at the top. Of course, replace what's in the parenthesis with your info :) Let me know if that works....
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
Perhaps I'm blind, but I didn't see the patch. Could you tell me where it is located? Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] cire6:
I think it's in page 2.

I have also a quetion, I cant use CHome configurator to hide CMyappointments? :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well don't you think that's a question for the creator of Chome Configurator ? :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
The patch on page 2 says it is to display the missing low temperature readings.
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
I'm using the Sliding Panels Weather homescreen...not sure if that makes a difference or not...the day/date font is almost microscopic but its something I can live with until theres an option available....considered installing NRG's Calibri font to see if theres a difference but not sure how to change it back if it doesnt.
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
Same problem with the monitor here, even after trying to "jumpstart" it by opening and closing various apps.
[HTC Excalibur] rudeboy99:
good job on these. this make my phone bill reasonably expensive. nice job, again!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Best way to jump start it is to go down to the Settings Panel and then slide over to the battery. The right soft key should change to "update monitor". :)

Mine just stopped working too, for some reason. I knew I released 1.1 as a beta for a reason... I will look into all these issues and release a final, these next few days :)

p.s. The new design and the new icons ONLY works with the landscape, LCD, slim panel layouts. The default one that gets installed when you install 1.1 If you switch to another layout, your icons wont look right anymroe. I will fix this in the final release...
[HTC Excalibur] 1oddmanout:
Thanks NRG for continuing to work on this. Astounding how this one little app transforms the WM6.1 sliding panels into a totally functional homescreen. I'm a fan.

I also reverted to 1.0; don't really like the monitors on the screen or as a panel; maybe a choice could be added that incorporates all the mods but doesn't show the monitors.
[HTC Excalibur] Tenacious Steve:
Alright, perhaps I'm missing something...

I just installed the app and this is what it looks like:

I only have the "Weather Forecast" panel!? But, THIS is what I want:

I noticed that some of the pics on these topics have BOTH the "Weather Forecast" panel AND the other panel...as seen in this photo:

Is that not possible with this beta version? How would I go back to v1.0? Where can I find it's download? If I could get it to work in 1.1, I'd like to keep it just so I don't have to uninstall it and reinstall.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
You have to enable CTestUIPlugin
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Looks like 1.1 is already making the rounds of warez sites... And they don't even have the decency of posting the new version screenshots... :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] mauce:
Can this tool be used on the bigger pocketpc models as well?

In my case I have a Vario III/Kaiser.

Or is this tool just for smartphones?
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Hey NRG, how bout posting that nice HTC Touch Diamond grid background ya got there?

Or does anyone else have it?
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Why am I still getting a notification error that it can't run the program after i've uninstalled it? Anything I can do?
[HTC Excalibur] lmw28if:
NRG MiniWeather 1.1b with Pocket Sportscenter

Just want to make sure I understand the posts I've read. I have the TestUI Plugin unhidden because I like the panel with the 5 day forecast on one page. But when I update a score for a team in the Pocket Sportscenter panel I lose all the panels and only shows the toolbars and background without the panels. Is this a bug between the two apps? A reboot or a reset homescreen brings the homescreen back but that seems like a hassle. Please advise.

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I think I need to write it in big BOLD letters... for the millionth time... If you have TestUI plugin enabled, you CANNOT refresh the homescreen OR use other applications that refresh the homescreen !!!!! Home.exe will crash and take your homescreen with it, until the next reboot.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
got it, I think, so does that mean we can't change wallpaper and color scheme as well? :p
[HTC Excalibur] ParishM:
i am getting the same error message after uninstalling

it. i searched every .exe file and files named NRG and found nothing and the startup folder is empty.

why is this happening ?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Here's the wallpaper I'm using... since so many people asked for it. This is about half of it anyway... the rest will come tomorrow. LOL:D:D:D
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
It stops after a lil bit or once you reboot again. I haven't had it happen all day.
[HTC Excalibur] ParishM:
once i realized you can use CHOME editor to edit more than 1 set of panels i reinstalled the weather app and edited the panels the way i wanted.

all of that works great now however now i noticed the phone has rebooted all by itself 3-4 times in the last 6 hours.

obviously it shouldn't do that so i must have something set wrong. anyone else have theirs reboot by itself ?

any ideas ?

UPDATE: seems to have fixed itself, no more reboots
[HTC Excalibur] krupawan5618:
Really Cool

Thanks for making such a great application, but for the greater appeal, I think the settings menu could use a revamp as well as basic functions for them as well. A regular person would look at "Repaint Screen" and be like...what?

I know you probably find it annoying how people keep telling you to do stuff, but I'm just throwing this out there as a recommendation.

I currently have a BlackJack II and am suffering from the same "cranky monitor" issue. (My battery stays at 100% even after update) so I am definately looking forward to the final product, or at least the newest release, in the days to come.

And remember to take your time :)

Thanks again.
[HTC Excalibur] 8one:
This app is awesome, definitely my favorite of the weather panels. Thanks for making it!

My interface suggestion (besides agreeing with the comment above) would be to combine the 5-day panel with the scrolling 10-day panel. Make it so the first page shows the current day + 4 day temperature forecast, and then you would scroll right for each day's extended forecasts plus wind conditions, etc. This would save an extra panel and simplify the interface IMO.

Also, some of the longer forecasts are truncating on my 10-day panels. If the weather is "Strong Winds, Partly Cloudy 60/86", it will cut off somewhere in the "Partly Cloudy" and not show the temp. Is there any way to force it to scroll that text, or, could you allow us to click that day's mini-forecast and go to a full-screen view of that day's forecast?

Anyway, I think you have a great app there. Take or leave the suggestions :)
[HTC Excalibur] tamanaco:
I second the above "suggestion" as one gets the best of both worlds in one single panel. My other "suggestion" would be to have an option to change the font size and to set it to regular/bold. No pressure.
[HTC Excalibur] james420:
Great App

Any chance the final release will have a transparent background on the 5 day panel? Looks great untill I used a different background then the grey really stands out.

Cheers!
[HTC Excalibur] chelsea_fc:
the current conditions weather icons looks small on the standard panel (not slim), any chance to make it bigger?
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
The latest update is a little buggy for me.

First, the monitor bar information was inaccurate, even after I forced an update.

Then trying to switch the layout from monitor to non monitor was a chore. Finally got to slim layout but the icons for the sun and the moon are distorted. Like someone stretched a standard video to fit on a widescreen tv.

Hope a reinstall works to correct this.
[HTC Excalibur] chelsea_fc:
this is exacly the same problem as mine, but on the regular layout, if i change to slim layout the icons looks ok...please fix this...
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
Couldnt take it anymore. Tried everything. I ended up uninstalling and going back to the previous version.

Hope the next update works better on my phone.
[HTC Excalibur] james420:
Distorted icons

This was posted by the developer earlier in the thread. Seem that the icon distortion is a know issue in the Normal layout and will be fixed in the final release.

-Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] hawee:
i having issues

i installed it, but i dont see it. I notice my clock bar did change, but i dont see a menu for it to access options for the program.

i went into my settings>remove programs and i dont see it there either..

am i missing something?
[HTC Excalibur] gclark:
No offense I found it a bit buggy..I know it's beta but I had to at least try.

I'm sure all the kinks will be worked out soon. If your new don't let some of these freaks scare you because it does work really well.

Thanks again!:D
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
installation on juno / tmo shadow

So far I have found no bugs on my device. Seems to be updating fine w/o issue. Anyway to add the temp to the clock portion for portrait devices in a future release even if it is smaller than the landscape version?
[HTC Excalibur] hawee:
its not showing up,

where can i locate the option for it? i looked through my programs and dont see it.

Also how do i uninstall it?

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] anewbie:
What connection is it looking for?

I installed NRG MiniWeather 1.1. Since I use the slim panel, the condensed miniweather always show on my home screen. That condensed miniweather panel only has two variations: either "no connection" or "30% - Downloading CC". This is showing at all time. While the condensed panel showing "30% - Downloading CC", the actual 5 day slim panel always shows "20% - Downloading CC". I have wifi and I use internet connection through USB. IE browser works without any connection problems. I do have the "download forecast info" turn on, but this is not "50%", this is either 20% or 30%. What can I do to fix this?

One suggestion - how about combining the two panels into one? i.e. I can slide to the NRG weather panel, it shows the 5 day summary on page 1. If I want to look at the detail forecast, I simply go to the next page, then next page ... instead of showing 5 day summary on one panel, detail forecast on different panel. You ask, what's the benefit? less key strokes to reach other applications.

thanks for the great work!

Edit: just realize while the update is stuck, the phone is no longer working. Someone called, my phone's back light came on. No ring, can't answer the call....:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] chelsea_fc:
would be great if the city name displayed on the clock panel...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Why... do you constantly need to be reminded where you live ? LOL:D:D
[HTC Excalibur] swaney:
ha ha maybe he forgets
[HTC Excalibur] chelsea_fc:
no its just for show off:)
[HTC Excalibur] krupawan5618:
Would be cool to use GPS, or cell phone triangulation technologies to update the city that you are in...that would be cool.
[HTC Excalibur] krupawan5618:
How's it progressing though, NRGZ28, when can we expect the next version?
[HTC Excalibur] apexMI:
Help

Ok, I did a forum search and found no issues like this, I have a Q9h When I install Mini weather everything is ok until I go to shut off my phone (it reboots, won't shutdown) tried un install and re install same thing.

Weather 3.1 work ok But I prefer the weather on the time panel...

Thanks in advance for any help..

:)
[HTC Excalibur] cadwiz:
should install Chome configurator first or NRG mini weather first?
[HTC Excalibur] 8one:
I do believe you'll need Chome Configurator first, as the weather app adds itself as one of the sliding panel home screen configurations.
[HTC Excalibur] bizguy101:
Changing to bold font

Hey NRG, this app is great! I have searched about all of the pages of this thread and I am sure someone has already asked this question. How do I get the font back to bold like when you first install WM 6.1? I have tried to modify the xml code changing the font to Segoe and font weight to bold but I had no luck. Thanks :)
[HTC Excalibur] Altuswire:
Missing temperature / date

Uninstalled 1.0 and installed 1.1b, now I'm missing some data on the homescreen. How can I get it back. I've included to of the screenshots.
[HTC Excalibur] krupawan5618:
This may be picky but it is still something that will make it superior to the other weather applications out there like these...

I think you should make a moon display instead of a sun during time periods of night. Say from 9 PM until 5AM the display changes from a sun to a moon...a sun gives us all a false sense of reality...lol.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Umm... it already does that ? LOL :D
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
What would be cool is if the display matched the actual time night falls at the individual's location.

It's dark by 7:30 pm here in NYC, but the sun is still on the display.

Also, it would be sweet if it were possible to show the current phases of the moon for the night display.

This is an awesome app.. I always get questions about it from Blackberry users.
