I concur, but it's fun to try the new builds out, and we all remain in gratitude for all of NRG's work and efforts.
[HTC Excalibur] Mal Bridgeman:
In the 10 day forecast section the temperature is given in centigrade in the larger font section next to the icon but in the narrative underneath, in the smaller font, the temperature is given in farenheit. I am presuming this is text that the weather site gives ..... is it possible to amend that to show celsius, please?

Thanks

Mal
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
That's not possible unfortunately. Sorry.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
NRG, so how is the app progressing, are you in the final stage, thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Also, NRG are you getting any money for creating such a program...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I got a couple of donations a while ago... but that was it. I'm doing this for fun anyway :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh well thats good, I thought maybe HTC might offer you something in order for them to incorporate this into their programs or maybe Microsoft might... who knows...
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
To slim or not to slim?

I hate to say it--but I am feelin' these slim panels, NRG. For some reason I waited until yesterday to try out the CHome MiniWeather. Up until then, I had been strongly opposed to the slim panels. They turned out to be a pleasant surprise though. Still waiting to see how your fat panels will come out...lol

Great job as usual.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Glad you like em man. Right now, I've been delaying working on the fat panels and releasing the updated version, because I've been busy with the S2U2 application and recently, the freshly released S740 ROM which has a Weather sliding panel from HTC in it!! I'm looking into porting that panel to the Excalibur and using it to its full potential. The way HTC designed it.. it's ugly...
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Nice, and probably the BJII as well right, lol, Htc's panel looks very similar to yours, how funny, looking forward to your future releases
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
That's what's up, man. Sounds like a job!
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
Booyaaah NRG, well it DOES LOOK UGLY, compared to what you have achieved thus far.

Well, still, I would like to get the icons on the Testui condensed on the HTC panel (see attachment)

And on another note, this is me offering thanks to you. You asked me to look about editing weather.mscr, (post 612), I did a lot of trial and error, and now I learned how to make it look the way I wanted exactly... Learned one step at a time, and immensely happy.

I am asking now, how to include the weather.mscr script into CLOCK panel, so that we can insert Current Conditions Text and Sunrise Sunset Texts there... Never satisfied, am I?:D Pardon for the craziness please:)
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
nice find, can't wait to see this incorporated
[HTC Excalibur] smiffnwesson:
I've experienced the same issue with it not updating automatically.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Call me stupid but I have a question can the user select the auto update time on MiniWeather 1.0, if so I can't figure it out, any insights anyone.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Option Request, maybe something to think about . . .

NRG, this idea dawned on me yesterday while looking at the extended panel, the one you scroll to the right, why not have another panel that display more weather conditions ie. "Feels like" sunrise, sunset, pressure, winds direction, and stuff like that, this way, the main display is not clogged with all this extra info and it would become an option to add and display this panel, it would be super cool because it would give you a more detailed view of the weather conditions. As far as autoupdating it would use the same update as the main screen, that way its always current to that hour or so. So in my humble opinion this is just a thought and perhaps you like it as well. :)
[HTC Excalibur] Helltoupee:
First time caller, short time listener...

Im pretty sure this has been asked but after trolling for an hour off and on at work I got bored so Ill ask.

Can someone point me to the step by step directions to change the timer that updates the ram and battery monitor.

Thank you, Hell Toupee
[HTC Excalibur] debabratadey:
Welcome Center

I want to format the Welcome Center a bit differently from what comes as default with NRG MiniWeather 1.2.

What is the Layer ID for the Welcome Center? I tried WelcomeCenterExpanded and WlecomeCenterCondensed without any luck...

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
You will have to edit Operator Services, and the changes will reflect on all panels that utilise Operator Services settings
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
:eek: where did you get the Vista Start Icon? link anyone?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
It's a program called SmartToolkit. You can find it at e-natives.com.
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
ok thanx i found it but when i put it in the startup folder so that it starts automatically when i power up my blackjack it loads up fine ecept once it finished loading it goes to the dial screen and says "no matches for û as if i typed that symbol in to find a contact. anyway i can change this so that this doesnt happen?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Don't place in the startup go to control panel\General And set run on windows start up it will place it's own link
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
ok, i'll see if that works
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
same thing :(
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Unintstall reboot then install this version SmartToolkit-SP-RC08
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
i had another question. is there a way to disable the task option for the right soft key? its so ****ing annoying :mad: horrible idea imo
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yes and i only just found it as i like the task option right soft key, go to General options again On Homescreen choose SmartToolkit Start Menu :)
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
Tried that but it changes the start menu to the classic style. i would like to keep the vista-esque start button but disable the task button for the right soft key and change it bak to the default. if its possible it probably has something to do with coding, i guess no one figured it out/tried it yet...o well, guess i'll have to live with it. btw one last question i promise lol. Can u customize/change the items in the start menu????
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
You can pin your favourite six items to the start menu by going to the item you want there and pressing right click pin to start menu.

In general options if i choose On Homescreen SmartToolkit Start Menu, i get the standard Taskbar and the Xp like start menu :)
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
ok i got the start menu re-arranged and optimized for my usage, thanx :)
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
btw now i get the dial screen at startup with the È symbol as if i typed it in to dial a number. this doesnt happen to you at startup?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
No are you using the version i posted?
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
yes im using the 8 instead of 9...idk whats goin on, its no biggie i jus have to press back to get to the homescreen but its just annoying to see that everytime i reboot. i'll do some more surfin to see if anyone else has this problem. also, are there any other versions of this? like made by a different developer? if so i'll try that too and see if it helps
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
btw i really appreciate the help stylez :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Strange that it opens up the call menu @ startup, hope u find an answer, happy 2 help :)
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
I have yet another question. I am creating my own background images and I have 3 made so far that are 320 X 240. After loading them onto my blackjack in the home folder i selected them to see if it worked and it did...sort of. an error screen pops up saying my wallpaper or whatever can not be used while at them same time showing the "loading" icon. so i just reboot my phone and everything is ok, my new wallpaper shows fine and all phone functions work properly. Is there something im doing wrong? i dont wanna have to reboot everytime i change my wallpaper :(
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Doesn't sound right, check your inbox :)
[HTC Excalibur] hah6589:
i guess i went wrong somewhere and maybe deleted something i needed off my phone bcuz that had the same result :(
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I think your correct something is wrong as you had 3 things not happen as meant to :(
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
It may not be a problem with the phone. If you are using NRG miniweather, there is an option to RESET the homescreen, if you go under weather settings>Advanced>Menu item 12. Click on that, and after confirmation the homescreen loads again. This saves you from restarting ur phone every time.

There is another simple utility called CHome Refresh, which will do the same thing for you, but in my unlocked, appunlocked blackjack2 with 6.1 ATT ROM it has never functioned properly.

Any help for Shadow?

Hey NRG.. or anyone else that is helping support this thread... I'm cross-posting this from Allshadow.com since I haven't found anyone writing in yet...

<BEGIN POST>

I have been playing around with this for the past several hours... I first found this in the XDA site, and could never quite get it to work. Many installs and reboots (:rolleyes:) later, I saw the Shadow theme file on here.

Now things seem to work as advertised. I didn't really want to install the LCD font, so I Ieft things as they were.

I see this:

The icon on the top panel is squished. In your screenshot, the icon wraps over the bar where it says "T-Mobile". Mine seems to find that as a boundary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I like this application very much and would like to see it work correctly!

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well after I installed my own weather application on my own new "Rose" based ROM, it seems that microsoft has FINALLY fixed the bug where Chome would crash if for any reason you freshed the homescreen, while CTestUI was active.

Sooooo, with that in mind I will be taking MiniWeather in a whole new direction. I suggest you all upgrade to S740 based ROMs, soon, if you want the latest and greatest to work on your phones :P
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
That's because I'm using new icons that arent designed to fit the portrait screen any more. I will eventually release a version that works on portrait phones also. I just have ZERO motivation to put in countless hours of getting to look right on potrait phones, since I dont have one :)

But, you can take 240x320.cpr out of the windows directory and edit it to adjust for the new icon height yourself :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Haha nice, well I am all ready upgraded so I will be waiting for the new MiniWeather to come in... :)
[HTC Excalibur] southpawmedic:
What would this S740 based ROM do for my moto q 9m?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
WOW! Even more discoveries.... I can load whatever cpr file I want right from the HomeScreen settings in the Settings control panel. We can have endless configurations or homescreen designs and switch between them ON THE FLY. No more rebooting... GOOD JOB microsoft! :D:D:D:D

What this mainly means now, is that we can switch from slim panels to "normal" panels and finally to the HTC stlyle panels ON THE FLY! So you can switch between the HTC panels with their own weather incorporated, to my MiniWeather anytime!

Sorry, I'll stop. I'm starting to sound like "Technology".... haha
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It wouldnt do chit, because the motorola isnt' an Excalibur or an HTC device for that matter. Is there any Motorola custom ROMs out there ? Any "chefs" for the Q ?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Not endless as the bronzeres.dll cant be changed in Rose for some reason? does not allow the use of panel change even with editing the panel and not using the changer shutting down home.exe etc....

The icons change though {lol}

Looks neat but not enough customization.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well we don't NEED to do that anymore as you can specify panel graphics right in the CPR. It's a much cleaner way, IMO.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
OK on that one :rolleyes:

Problem powering down after installing CHome Weather

I have a Motorola Q Global 9h (AT&T), recently upgraded to WM 6.1. Found CHome Weather via several recommendations and installed it from

After doing Setup and soft-reset, everything works fine - data connection, updates, etc. But I have one problem - the phone will no longer power off. Doing the normal power off via any of the standard WM methods just soft-reboots the phone. I turned off auto-update to see if that helps; no go. Uninstalling CHome Weather and doing a hard-reset will restore the power-off, but I really like CHome Weather. Any Mortscript edits or registry settings I should be looking at?

Note: CHome Weather is the only sliding panel / home-screen app I have installed at this time, so it's not in conflict with other third party code.

Really cool panel app - just hope you have an idea on what's going wrong.

Thanks - Dave
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
NRG....I have a curious issue going on here. It's not critical, but I hope you can figure it out when you have the time.

My GF has a Pantech Duo and recently upgraded to 6.1. She wanted me to show her how to modify the sliding panels so I installed Chome Config and Mini weather 1.2

When weather installed it did not modify the clock panel, instead it created a seperate panel along with the extended forecast.

I was hoping you could shed some light on this.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
What do you mean by "modify" that's a big word, what do you want to do, if all you want is to hide the panel, then follow the directions and you'll be set.

This panel is called the CTestUIplugin if you don't want to show it, just use Chome Configurator and hide it and exit and save the change and it will disappear from panels.

:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] blooder:
Hello! Does the app work for non-US locations? I tried to enter city name, for example "Berlin" but with no result :(
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
What are you talking about?

Where did I say anything about needing to hide a panel?

Did you read my post thoroughly?? I dont think so.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You have to find Berlin's "code" first. Go to yahoo's weather page, lookup the weather for berlin and then get the city code displayed in the URL. For Romania, for example, it's ROXX003... It'll be in a similar format for Berlin.
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
What does this mean for us non-Excalibur owners? Sounds like it doesnt bode well for us...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well for now, nothing. I will just add support for the new CHome which works a little differently. I'll probably make it an option, to switch new CHome support ON or OFF.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Dude, what you describe was exactly what the application is suppose to do, I tried to infer based on your vague comment, good luck in figuring it out.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
No i think from what i read that Mini Weather did not write to the CClock and created another panel with the CClock data aswell as having TestUi

EG:

CClock

NRG Mini Data Current

NRG Mini Data Extended
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
Is that so?? . So after trying every version and using the app for months now, It doesnt modify the clock panel?

Everytime I installed it and it modified my clock panel to show the time *and* the current conditions..it's not supposed to do that?

Are you saying that when I installed it to my GF's Pantech Duo and her clock panel was not changed as mine did, instead she kept her original clock panel and got another panel that showed the current condition but minus the time..... you are saying that is they way the app is actually supposed to act. So what has always happened on my phone is an abberation?

So the fact that my clock panel matches the screen shots on page 1.... that's me hallucinating?!
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
I think karelj is talking absolute sense.

Let me rephrase what I think he experienced.

He is well versed with NRG Miniweather, and then he installed it in Pantech Duo (Smartphone, not professional, so no worries there).

Then what he sees is TWO panels. One is the original CClock panel UNCHANGED. And then the supposedly new CClock panel with the weather data etc but MINUS the Time displayed.

Pls clarify if I am correct up until now.

If so, STRANGE...... Never heard anything like this as of now. Well, I think karelj is totally baffled as well..

Now, what can be done.

If there are indeed two panels, what are they called in Chome Configurator?? CClock for BOTH of them?? or CClock1 and CClock2? An option is to sequentially HIDE/DISABLE each panel, refresh homescreen, and see if it works.

If not, you can always edit the Chome320X240.cpr (or is it 240X320? I dont know which resolution pantech duo has). While editing you can put both the Clock data and the weather current data into one plugin and delete the other extra data.

Hope this helps.

Cheers buddy
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
Thats good to hear...had me and my BJII worried there for a moment...
[HTC Excalibur] andy_sutton:
It would be nice to have the ability to adjust the update interval. Also to have a window where it doesn't update at all (night). Mine is mostly on the charger at night but no sense in nailing up data connections for no reason.

Great program, keep up the good work.
[HTC Excalibur] smiffnwesson:
I agree, very beneficial request.
[HTC Excalibur] lmw28if:
Mini Weather settings/update icons gone

After I installed the Mini Weather 1.2 I don't have the icons in the Start Programs list where I had them with 1.0. Is there something I have to do to get those back?

Also, am I right to go into CHOME config and turn off the CTestUIPlugin to get rid of the 5 day forecast panel if I don't want it?

Also, in 1.0 I had a panel that showed the forcast but on one page that you could scroll right to get 10 days. Is that gone with this release?

thanks,

Steve
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Not that beneficial. Yahoo only updates their info every hour. My application reads the time info from Yahoo, notes WHEN it was updated and runs an automatic updated at the same (roughly) an hour from that time. There's absolutely no reason to update more often that that.. you will get the same data. As far as the window of time, at night.. that's not a bad idea. I will think about implementing that.
[HTC Excalibur] smiffnwesson:
That's actually what I was referring to. :)
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
If you use resco explorer or Total commander, you can go into the Miniweather Program folder, create a shortcut, and place it in START menu folder, to get your icons back.

If you disable the TestUI plugin, you wont see the 5 day forecast panel.

For you to see the 10 day pages, you have to enable CWelcome center using chome configurator. Also enable extended forecast from nrg miniweather options.
[HTC Excalibur] jndrad:
curious

when ever i use mini..then go to chome configurator program and hide photos and music...i then exit properly and hs goes completely blank...i then need to reload mini to get back to original hs with photo and music..i really dont use photo or music
[HTC Excalibur] nettech_gt:
I have mini chome weather installed on my Moto Q9h and its working great. However after installing the monitor add on I got a message saying it might not display properly as it was designed for an earlier version of WM......its not working at all. I checked the home screen layout settings and I see sliding panel weather and sliding panel weather with colored top bar neither show the monitor icons. Help...
[HTC Excalibur] andy_sutton:
I meant to be able to adjust it to a slower update interval. Maybe allow it to skip every other one or two to save battery life.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Or you can always get an extended battery for under 30 dollars off ebay and it will last a long ways...

EXTENDED BATTERY
[HTC Excalibur] heloguy:
Hello NRG.

thanks for the awesome program. i love it. i was curious, are you still working on the update? and if so, When can we expect it?
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Hey NRG,

Have mini 1.3 up and running on Rose. Worked like a charm, uploaded, changed options and then rebooted. Running like a champ.

Only thing I noticed is that when I open Chome Config now, I get:

"Error while loading from the registry

InvalidOperationException

at SorterObjectArray.Quicksort()

at System.Array.Sort()

at System.Array.Sort()

at i.d ()

at d.am()

at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad()"

etc...

I hit OK and Chome works just fine, saves changes,etc. Not a biggee for me. Just figured I'd let you know
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah, well it will do that. Chome Configurator doesn't know how to handle the new CHome layout... unfortunately. Nothing I can do about that.
[HTC Excalibur] Empel1960:
Hi NRGZ

I installed and I think after the installation the testui panel with the 5 day forecast and showing the progress on the update was there, but after using chome config program the panel disappear
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Doesn't bother me at all. I'm just happy to have a weather app that updates consistently on my lovely new ROM :D Thanks again, I can't stop playing with my updated toy!
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
Hi NRG, I've installed your Rose version of Miniweather and everything works really great. Now I've uninstalled it because I really don't like slim panels. Could you please consider making a layout of normal panels? I really like Miniweather. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
does anyone know how to change the color of the blue/black backgrounds behind the temp and hi low indicators? i would like the black background to show all day. thank you.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Make a copy of night.png in the resources directory and copy it over day.png :)
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Just wanted to throw out an update on Miniweather on Rose after two full days of use. It's working perfectly, can't find a bug at all. Thanks NRG for getting it out there for us, beautiful job as always!

[HTC Excalibur] bigbrowndog:
Slight modification to CClock

Great app you have there NRG!

I just want to customize it a bit to suit my full taste, but am still "learning" how to modify things around. Hopefully someone here can help me in my simple adventure (hopefully).

Using mini-weather 1.2

In CClock...

Expanded - In place of the carrier name, I would like to have the current condition displayed as text.

Collapsed - In place of the carrier name, I would like the current condition and temp similar to TestUI.

Can anyone help or lead me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Pete
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Not TOO soon... but's it's on its way :)
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
is there any easy way to have the efficiencies of v1.2 but with the look of 1.0? i like the appearance of the clock panel in 1.0 a little better.
[HTC Excalibur] toxic0n:
does this work in Canada?

I changed the ZIP code to my postal code, it goes through the process of downloading the data/extended data but does not show a forecast or the current temp. Using the city name (Vancouver) doesn't seem to do anything at all..
[HTC Excalibur] bigbrowndog:
Try using...

CAXX0518

in the zip code area.
[HTC Excalibur] toxic0n:
Thanks! That worked. Now, it shows all the temps in F. I changed to Celsius in the settings, but they are still shown in F. Rebooting did not help. Any ideas?

EDIT:. Ah, "Resetting" the homescreen through the options seemed to do it. Works perfectly now, great software.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
I'm going to have to agree with the aforementioned :)
