I know, that would be cool. Maybe I'll make it a user definable variable so you can tell it when to start displaying the night icons. I think it's something like 8PM now, and it does go by your phone's internal clock...
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Anyway to use the sunrise/sunset information provided from the feed?

Just throwing out an idea.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Great program... thanks for this program...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
That's a great idea actually. I will do that for the next version :)
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Glad I could help :)
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
Looking forward to the next update.. the previous one did not agree with my phone. Never did get it to work, though I am tempted to give it another try....... just as soon as I use Sprite Backup.

Just no longer willing to recreate my panels/pages.

Top Icon Bar 1.1 Beta

This might me a dumb question...Is there a version 1.1 with the icon top bar? Or is there a cab to install it over it?

Thanks a million!

Clay
[HTC Excalibur] mobelby:
I'm sure I have another dumb question but of the monitors what does the one on the right actually monitor. Mine always says 24M no matter what. I'm using a Blackjack II and love your work

M
[HTC Excalibur] cwintermeyer:
I agree with that suggestion. I'd love to see a single panel instead of two, but I like the idea of being to "drill" from one to the other by clicking.
[HTC Excalibur] crashdau:
I concur. This would a more impressive feel to the program.
[HTC Excalibur] Dondiegojr:
Im running 1.1 NRG weather app. But im trying to keep my windows 6.1 default home screen with just the weather next to the clock while keeping the bold numbering, instead of the default screen you get with all the extras and the font. Basically I want it to look like this w/ bolder numbers. Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] Dondiegojr:
nevermind I got it...
[HTC Excalibur] BlackRenegade:
How did you fix it?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
He probably reverted to one of the older layouts, through the Options dialog :)
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
great work nrg, I love it.
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
I wish there was a way to set how often it auto updates.

Having it up date every 15 minutes is murder on the already short battery life of the Q9h.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It doesnt update every 15 minutes, it updates ever hour. And what miniweather does in the background is hardly "murder"... come on. It downloads like 10k of data every hour...
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
I had manually updated the weather and then checked the Settings panel and it showed 15 minutes to the next update..my mistake in jumping the gun.

However, my battery life improved dramatically this past week when I disabled auto update.

But in all fairness, I also changed my email polling to 2 hours. I will enable the auto update again, keep email polling at 2 hours and see what the battery life is like.
[HTC Excalibur] tamanaco:
Ok... 1.1b is very nice... How much longer before we see a "New and Improved" version.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Probably wont see any more updates on any weather apps
[HTC Excalibur] swaney:
not tru he said he will update wen he feels like it :)
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Maybe you missed the first word I typed?? lol
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
LOL that's funny because I was actually thinking of releasing the updates I've done already and are just running on my phone. You WILL see a new version possible tonight (if I feel like it) or... next week sometime :)
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
Hi NRG

Just posting my 2 cents, been on this fantastic piece of software over the past few days, absolutely love it. Easy to tweak etc etc..

I also looked over the other few smartphone weather apps, mentioned in this forum, still like urs the most.

Suggestions? Well, here goes..

Personally, I tried my level best to bring all the LOOKS back to the default level. Means, removing the LCD font, resizing the icons back to default (operator services), and increasing the image size on the Clock Panel to 150 percent. I was trying to make it look more HTC like, and the results are not too bad. And I removed the monitor, didnt like the (too bright?) colours on the screen, once I move down from Clock.

Would like to add a text description as well to the Clock Panel. Something minimal atleast, and nothing as detailed like Dew Point, Humidity and whatnots (as I had seen on another app). Just the same Text1 from your TestUI condensed. Couldnt do it yet, guess, it might be implemented in a later version.

Another suggestion, is to try and incorporate the two panels (TestUI and Extended Forecast) into one panel, so that we can move SIDEWAYS to show both, rather than add an extra panel. With TestUI being the first one, and the other ten days forecast in following pages. I dont know if its possible, since they are two different GUIDs (TestUI, and Operator services) but if someone could figure out a way, it would save real estate. Just a suggestion.

A third and least important one, is about the HAZE icon (19.png). It looks dull, well really dull against all backgrounds, and the image is misplaced, means, the Y is too low compared to all others. A better looking and better centrally aligned HAZE icon would be welcome.

All in all, a great piece of work, thank you very much.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Great ideas... I'll think about adding them in next version.

p.s. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Combining the two panels is IMPOSSIBLE. It would seem logical that I would have done it to begin it with if it was possible :)
[HTC Excalibur] gdrougas77:
Glass Panels

NRG your weather app rules...(obviously) But I realllllllllllllyyyyyyyy would love to be able to change the colors of the panels as in 3.1. ANY help you could give me would make me a VERY happy guy. Even if you could explain how you did it to begin with, its been the most difficult thing to find. Thanks Much
[HTC Excalibur] motorola07:
nice work NRG

just messing around with it.. i got the battery bar and memory to work now. not sure how but it updates regularly now
[HTC Excalibur] aristocrat51:
Monitor

Battery still shows 100% all the time....any cure for this???
[HTC Excalibur] BruteSource:
Great work, and thanks for putting in the wor to make this great app. I have a few problems sorry if they were already answered, first off when i goto the settings everything seems to use an unreadable cursive font ( I had this problem with opera mini and had to copy tahoma.ttf to my windows dir and rename it to aatahoma.ttf to fix this, but this fix doesnt work here), also I am not getting auto updates I have to click update everytime and am also experiencing the battery always displaying 100% problem. Thanks again.
[HTC Excalibur] bmar29:
i just cannot get this to update using my wifi card. it will either freeze at 10% or 30%. i know its not me because CHome weather 3.0 updates fine.. actually now that i think about it...mini weather 1.0 updated fine too
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Wait for 1.2 which should be released tomorrow.... :)

Until then, if anybody has any suggestions for new features, bug fixes, etc.. now is the time to speak up!
[HTC Excalibur] motorola07:
it only changes when it gets to 70% battery. then it drops by 10% intervals
[HTC Excalibur] leftcoastfunk:
WooHoo!

NRG your work is superb and I'm loving my setup on my wm6.1 shadow so thank you for your hours spent! I have a couple questions, and they are rather minor so if no fixes are possible then so be it...

I'm running wm6.1 w/96dpi, NRG miniweather 1.1b, NRG monitor, and your non-fat panelled theme (aka slim panels).

The problems (inconveniences?) i'm having are thus:

---I can't seem to ditch the LCD font for the clock no matter how many times or in which way I change the settings. this is okay because I kinda like it but if the font could be larger (maybe 18 or 20pt instead of 15?) that would rule!

---the wifi info text is offset from the date text

---when an alarm is set the icon is totally smooshified

I'm sure every one of these problems has to do with me running in 96dpi, but I don't want to give that up. Any thoughts? Like I said if this an easy fix maybe you can help me out. Otherwise the rest looks so freakin awesome i'll live with it...

thanks!

LCF
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Judging by the screenshot you're not running this on an Excalibur. Only HTC devices report battery percentage in one percent increments. I have the same "problem" on my Blackjack 2... only 25% increments. It's the reason I remove the monitor from 1.2 alltogether, it seems useless now.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Running in 96 dpi mode is most definitely the problem. Unfortunately I dont have a shadow anymore, so I cant really make miniweather compatible with potrait devices anymore. Maybe someone over at the shadow forum can help out by editing the CPR file for you.
[HTC Excalibur] gdrougas77:
OOOO Upgrades

When Can we Expect 1.2? :D:D
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
See Post# 459
[HTC Excalibur] motorola07:
ya its for the BJ2.. so do you have this theme made for the bj2 as well or just for excalibur? or does it even matter since its wm6? cant wait to see the new updates for it. so far i havent ran into any troubles with it.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well I have a blackjack2. But it's WM 6.1 so it's all the same... putting the finishing touches on 1.2 now. Don't expect any HUGE changes, just little stuff here and there... :)
[HTC Excalibur] gdrougas77:
yeah I know, but it is tomorrow now :-D
[HTC Excalibur] gdrougas77:
OOPS Should have read 467 :-/
[HTC Excalibur] :
oh my god thank you so much. i was looking for something exactly like this thank you so much!
[HTC Excalibur] leftcoastfunk:
It's all good. So I used to edit the 6.0 XMLs all the time before I went to 6.1 - are the CPR files similar? Nevermind, I should be searching for that in the forums, not asking you...

Thanks! I'll post my new screenshot if (when?!) I get it fixed...
[HTC Excalibur] leftcoastfunk:
edit: duplicate post-sorry
[HTC Excalibur] Rockwig:
Maybe it's just me but... I downloaded the file, and it won't install. It keeps coming up with "install unsuccessful" message.
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
Ok, first status report.

Installation was fine, reporting from a Blackjack II 6.1. Automatically removed the older version after confirmation, including the monitor (have to manually remove the monitor.exe notification, I guess..SKTools will be handy, as usual).

Installation size is lesser, I guess due to absence of excess monitor files, and reduction in the size of individual png files.

The start menu shortcuts for both Weather settings and weather update was missing, though its not a major issue, can always be created as a shortcut from the original exe files.

Basic screen had nina font, no LCD as NRG notified. I defaulted back to my original Segoe Condensed, I like it better.

fcastback.png is missing, I guess its because NRG implemented individual nd.png files in the testui plugin as well, and not just the clock plugin.

I dont know if this is a hitch, or my error, I lost the bottomtext which used to show the time of the update, now it shows the location. I have to look into it further.

All in all, a lesser install size, faster update time and minimally altered icons. Not bad
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well I figured out a way to get the monitor to work with the Blackjack and report an accurate battery percentage. I will release another version WITH monitor support as well, today. Until then, here's a screenshot of it running on my blackjack.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The day and night icons should work properly. What's your location code, maybe I can look into it a little further.
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
Thanks for the offer NRG, I know it works fine, cos it used to work perfectly well. This is most definitely due to my own tweaking and tinkering :-)What I did was, I pasted back my original Chome320X240.cpr, just for experimentation, so as to bring the segoe fonts, and I guess thats when the problem started. All I need to do is a clean re install, no fear. And for your info, the location code is INXX0029 ( am on vacation:-) ) and my real location is Schaumburg, IL.

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT:::

I take back the issue with the daynight icons, I did another update at 1030PM localtime which is about ten minutes back, , and the icons showed properly, as I said it is due to the extreme intervals in update at my present location.

Now another query, in the testui expanded, I used to have such a view. http://tinyurl.com/5lp6o4 which I want. This picture is from this own thread, only for a rough approximation to show the current climate, location and bottomtext time of update. Now I dont see the bottomtext, meaning the time of the update.http://tinyurl.com/6zvuvy Not a real big issue, as long as we put it on continuous auto-update, but just curious, is that line of text removed?? I dont see a specific code for that, how to re enable it? I will post my present CPR for u as well

Oh by the way, I brought back fcastback.png from an earlier backup, which is why it is still mentioned in the cpr
[HTC Excalibur] chaoslord2k:
hasn't been answered I think : with q9h, whenever I poweroff it reboots automatically with nrg mini weather installed. Is it normal?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I doubt that my app causes that behavior at all :) It's probably something else you did to the phone... :)
[HTC Excalibur] gclark:
:) Looks great and works well on my q. Only issue I had was trying to use it with the "colored top bar" with that "rinku inconbar" otherwise everything else comes through fine.

Again - great work.
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
All thanks to NRG.
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
Is there a way to move the clock a little bit to the left? The alarm is overlapping the weather icon.thanks
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Can you show me what you're talking about ?
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
if i could only take a screenshot
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
heres a screenshot
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
here's the screenshot,manged to take one http://cid-968017b79e48b996.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public At the moment is not overlapping but when is cloudy,the alarm icon will cover part of the weather icon.
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
This happens to me as well as other Q9 users. It's either the weather app or Chome Config that causes it. No worries though...I prefer it this way.

I like this layout better than the previous update, but I do miss the LCD font.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Just add the LCD font into the .cpr a bit about adding font here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=434858

Which font was it NRG?
[HTC Excalibur] crashdau:
NRG, great work! I'm glad to see the updates. One thing, I tried reloading the Add-on but it doesn't seem to be working. I tried uninstalling and re-installing on my Motorola Q9M with WM6.1 . No good with 1.2, but it worked with 1.1b although the memory monitor wasn't always accurate.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Okay. I will fix that in a couple of hours. I designed it to be used with AM/PM time display, not like you have it. As far as the alarm icon being overlapped, it's ment to be that way, but I can see how it can be annoying. I'll make it so it stays on top of the icon :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will release a version WITH the monitor tonight. I would advise you to just wait for that :) The memory monitor should be very accurate, but it does only update once a minute.. so..
[HTC Excalibur] southpawmedic:
Sweeeeet

Can't wait until the update! Thanks so much nrg!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
266 downloads so far and no other feedback ? Anymore suggestions, bugs... etc before I release the fix ?!
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
Dear old NRG

Just two suggestions at this point, I dont know if it can be implemented yet, but here goes.

Someplace to show the last time/date of update. Not necessarily in the clockui, maybe in testui or extended panel. NRG 1.1b had this as bottomtemp font 6 but I dont know if it was removed or I lost it with my own tweaks, pls clarify.

Second is an earlier suggestion, a way to display the TEXT1 of current conditions in the clockui expanded. Something that simply says Fair/Mostly Cloudy/Thunderstorm/haze etc etc.. in the clockui expanded panel. We can move around things to find space for the text, us primarily on blackjacks wont be needing the wifi text for example.

Cheers as always
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
I love the app but I'd like to see the default view, right now everything all the panels are smaller and things are centered I'd love to see another version with regular panels.

btw I updated and I'm a BJII and I love it, thanks for you input the other day :)
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
I deleted but the top part of my bjII is now a different color, how do I reset the screen, thanks again
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
What part did u delete? You can reset the screen by going to Weather options>Advanced>Menu item 12.Reset screen
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Thanks, I tried that and still the top portion of my screen is light green, despite my BaseHue being in the grayscale everywhere else. I'm at a loss, can't figure it out.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
In that case... reboot.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Here's the Blackjack II version, with monitor.

Things chaged:

- Fiddled with the layout a little more. Centered the clock and date.

- Added "doublecheck" script to doublecheck that the script ran successfully (hopefully no more suck in "20% downloading")

- Now running the weather script for the first time (doing your first update) will ALSO "kickstart" the monitor script and get it started every two minutes as well.

- Added last updated information on the TestUI panel.

And sorry guys, but combining the panels is absolutely out of the question. It's just impossible, with the knowledge the community has of the sliding panels (bronze) interface. Maybe later on when MS discloses more info.

BJ II version > http://www.sendspace.com/file/k7fzfm

HTC version > http://www.sendspace.com/file/nud88x

That's the HTC version, which should report the battery accurately on the Excalibur and I'm sure.. other devices as well.

Note. if you install this on another phone, it will work, however the battery will not report as this version is designed to report only the blackjack II's battery :) (yes, by 1 percent increments... instead of the usual 25%) :)
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
I was fiddling with the home file,and I managed to find the string responsible for the weather icon,and move it.What I could't find is the string responsible for the clock,so I could edit it to move the clock to the left.can u please tell me which one it is? THANKS
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
Another issue that I always had with all of your plugins,is that none of the extended forecasts will show. I mean the one with 5 days would be the same for every day,as in all sunny,or all rainy.And the other one,the extended foracast,the one with 10 days,or 7 days,cant really remember how many days its got,cause I always disable it.That one will not show any icons at all,but a red circle with a white X in it.But like I said thats not too much of a trouble,i simply diseble the 2 panels.
[HTC Excalibur] aristocrat51:
monitor.exe

With the new 1.2.1 HTC it installed fine, I rebooted and I get a message that monitor.exe cannot be executed. I don't need to install a separate monitor program do I??? It is build into the 1.2.1 CAB...right???
[HTC Excalibur] 1oddmanout:
Alright!!! Super clean with what seems to be a larger font and a clear weather forecast pane; (on my Sprint Q9C). Great job and thanx!!!

I can't get the LCD font to appear on the time - any hints?

But, this is the best so far (I didn't like the monitors).
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Nice a blackjack II version, question just install over the previous version, thanks
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
NRG, can you make this version without the monitor, it updates super quick, a blackjack II vesion, its sweet congrats
[HTC Excalibur] crashdau:
NRG, Just loaded BJII version 1.2.1 w/ Monitor on a Motorola Q9M w/ WM6.1. It's working, however I keep getting an notification error that is cannot execute "\Program Files\NRG\CHomeMiniWeather\monitor.exe". When I look for that file in that directory I find a mortscript file, but no executable.

When I search the device using Resco Explorer I doesn't find that executable anywhere....any Ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
try the other version, the htc version and see what happens perhaps the bjII is only fort the bjII, I think NRG said something to that effect.
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
I am getting the same error.I have to say that the weather looks brilliant! Would it be possible to get rid of the monitor and keep the plugin just with the weather as it is at the moment?

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Sorry guys, I forgot to include the monitor.exe. Until I release a fix, please just make a copy of weather.exe or dcheck.exe and simply rename it to monitor.exe for now. You can do this right on the device :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yes, I will release another cab today with the monitor removed :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Thank you for this :)
[HTC Excalibur] crashdau:
Cool...will try that and let you know.
[HTC Excalibur] coquipr:
hello. this is a great app. beened using all your programs for a long time now. when i install this new cab i lost my standard monitor or top bar in my phone any idea?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Please see the first post for updated cabs + fixes.. and regular version with the monitor. Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Thanks I appreciate it
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Suggestion for the next update:

1. Nrg, can you make the date the same color as the date(bold white) so its easier to read the date of the device. thanks

2. its just my idea but perhaps in instead of the blue little square with Hi-Lo a "Feels like Temp" you know its 84 degrees here in Miami but it "feels like" 89 degrees though because you can always scroll down to that panel and see the same information with more detail.

:)
[HTC Excalibur] crashdau:
Hey NRG,

Made a copy of weather.exe and renamed it and it works. I noticed thought that the battery monitor image isn't displayed. Should I uninstall and install the fixed version you think?

Update: Nevermind...Installed right over the other without issue Great Job!
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
"Crossing my fingers" is it tonight NRG, how about that bold date ;)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Probably not going to do that man. That panel is about the clock and the weather info standing out, not the date. But hey... you're welcome to do it yourself. Just edit the .cpr file :)
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
ok, thanks
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Nrg, can post the background in the first post, thanks
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
NRG posted it on another thread but here you go :)
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
As always, thanks by the way how do I hide this panel, here as an attached bmp image
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
here is a better pic
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You want to hide the main weather panel ?! Okaaay... Use the chome configurator software to hide the "testui" plugin :)
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
thanks very much
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
Works great now.No more notifications.And amazingly all the extended forecast panels work great.One question though,do you know how often do te extended panels get updated?I still have on the panel using the welcome center the first forecast is last night's forecast.
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
NRG Bro,

Just an idea, to reduce the screen area for the batt data. Nothing big:-)

Same can be tried for RAM

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] Altuswire:
Not trying to offend NRG; he had reasons for not including!

I liked the LCD as well, and it works on my Q; so I extracted from a previous version. Here's a screenshot and the font.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The font WAS excluded intentionally... Lots of people were having problems with it showing up in other applications (even in the config app of miniweather!) and just generally screwing things up. So, like I mentioned, I will release another version WITH the LCD font included and the CPRs modified. Probably today :)
