Thanks for the kind words, brother.

I appreciate the kind words. Once I get a "feel" for what everyone likes as far as layout are concerned, I will update screen layouts, but for now, what you see is what you get.

I am working on a new app currently that will change the way sliding panels looks on the homescreen. I have got a functional layout right now, that will allow the user to change the icons I have default for the layout to any of their choice. I will post a screenshot later.

I hope this new cab solves everyones problems. If there are any issues, please feel free to let me know. If there is any praise, please let me know. Take it easy.
[HTC Excalibur] venusrising:
not to sound dumb here but what is a cpr? I have seen them on the forum but am not familiar yet.

Also, is it me or do the sliding panels just not move anymore with this app?

thanks for all you help Technology
[HTC Excalibur] venusrising:
Seen the CPR term around the forums but not familiar with what it means yet can someone enlighten me? Also, is this the reason that the sliding panels no longer slide through the features like they did before or did I do something?:confused:

Thanks for all of your help Technology and the nice app outerdepth

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Do panels not slide when forecast is shown? Thats by design, as they are fullscreen with out condensed views and each panel is only one page. If they don't slide when your on default homescreen(non-forecast) then thats not right or intended at all.

CHome_320x240.CPR is the xml file that the sliding panel homescreen uses to set layout of panels. It is located in your windows directory. It sets text size, font, location. It sets icons location and size, each panel's size(width and height). You can add more images to panels also.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Great app.

Just wanted to say thank you both for the great app, i'm using v1.0 and showaco has been helping me with the layout, icon update etc as i only use the Text and Weather icon to display 2 days forcast, everything fits on text loop.

Keep up the good work. :)
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Thanks

Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback. I hope you are enjoying the app. It is running smooth and I think looks great. Hope everyone else is enjoying it as well.

ODshow weather changed my softkey

Ok so i installed ODSHOW weather, and it slowed my phone down a bit, which i didnt like, so i uninstalled it.

BUT . . . .

after uninstallation my right softkey for the clock module stayed at "Forecast Panels" and i would like it to go back to "Contacts"

can someone point me to the right registry to change this, and also give me correct value for it?

THANKS!!!

-Tommy
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
If you still have mortscript, you can run this script and it will set it back to contacts and change clock icon back to original.

If not, you can change it manually in the registry. Setting SK2TEXT to "Contacts" and SK2URL to ":MSCONTACTS"
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
I really like the layout. Seems like it might run a bit slower, but I can live with that. I am having a problem with the radar/hurricane panels though. When I run the radar update, it brings up the hurricane screen. So I have 2 hurricane panels in a row. Earlier, I had the Tennessee radar when I set the zip code to Houston, TX. Other than that, great job and Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Runs like a dream, well sweet tends to be the first thing i show people when flash the Dash and is proving to be a priceless feature as tend to use weather widgets on comp but can't always get the Eee out in public :D
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Send me a pm, and we'll see what we can do about fixing that for you. I will get this problem solved no problem. I can't figure out why it would do that for you.

After two resets all is working well now with the sliding panels. Is there any place to get icons for settings that work better with this app?
[HTC Excalibur] venusrising:
After two resets the sliding panels is working as it should.

1.Is there and icons (or cpr that work best with this app?) for settings that will appear normal sized instead of huge? The rest of the screen icons are larger but not huge.

2. Can I use the reg hack above to get my contact button back without it messing up the app?

Thanks all for your time and help!:)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
1. I'll check into it with outerdepth, and see if they need to be big for some reason.

2. Look in options and there should be an options for changing right soft key on the clock panel, one which should be for contacts. You can also use the reg hack to set your contacts back to right soft, but don't use the zip file I posted, as that will change your clock panel icons to originals and lose the weather icon.
[HTC Excalibur] venusrising:
Thanks as always showaco!
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Here is a zip that has all of the settings panel icons in it. Just drop them where they need to go, should be your \Windows folder. Hope these solve your problem.
[HTC Excalibur] venusrising:
Installed the images but still having issues with the setting images appearing big and stretched out on the sliding panel. See attached.
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Send me a pm, I know what the prob is. Simple fix. we'll work this out over the pm in no time, or you can go on yahoo im. Just pm me and we'll do this.
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
outerdepth, love the last version youve done, you two are genius'. however I prefer the last version, just a personal preference. the second screen with the daily weather just isnt for me. but I want to thank you for the work youve done, and I show it off to all my friends.

I do have a question though.

I couldnt get it to work for either version, the Monitor...just doesnt work...I have the icon bar on the home screen but other then that nothing else.

Also, is the hurricane panel supposed to play an animated gif or show just a hurricane png file?

thanks again for all youve done
[HTC Excalibur] mtaiar:
i need to install any previous version or another panel to big panel 5-7days layout work?
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
OD,I'm taking another shot at this, but have a few questions if you dont mind:

1) what do I need to have to run the monitor? I have the icons on the homescreen, but they are not active.

2) On the first page of this thread you have this screenshot:

and mine looks line this:

Do I just need to customize mine, or am I missing something?

Thanks man, you rock!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
hey caesar, your missing the forecast cpr or its not loading. the forecast cpr is what gives the panel the fullscreen effect instead of the normal sized panels your seeing. I believe the name of the cpr is fullscreen.cpr and should be in the application data folder, check that first and let me know if you have it. If its not there, check to see if its in one of the outerdepth folder on main or storage card. If it is, try moving it to application data.
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
I don't have it..I've looked through both folders on phone and card...can you help me?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yeah, hang on let me find the file and i'll post it here.

Edit: Here you go, unzip and place in the application data folder and try switching to forecast again.
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
Thank you show, that did it! You rock!

Now I just need to figure out why the monitor doesn't work....
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
when you select the monitor layout, do you get the monitor icons at all? If you get them, do they just not update?

check your pm
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
yeah the layout appears, just no update...
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
try going into the outerdepth\kpweather\monitor folder and clicking on all the mscr files and manually starting them. See if they will work that way, and we'll go from there.
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
I stand corrected, I dont even get the monitor on the screen. Ive run through the list of mscrs..seems like the blueon is the only one that doesnt get an error of cant find what the shortcut refers to, or some such.

Edit: ok, so I changed to 2 day screen and I get this:

Its not 100% charged and I Have no messages...

...Show, I ran some of the mscr files: \under program files\outerdepth\kpweather\monitor\ there is blueon.mscr, freeram.mscr, topbarnotes.mscr and thats it. if I hit freeram, i get erro opening shortcut or locating the target filename.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
sorry, but your missing more files. I'll send them to you. The freeram you can delete, it was to some app outerdepth was using to free up ram on his phone.

Update Intervals

Is there a way to set an interval time for the auto updates as it seems like it updates very often on "auto" so I have to use the manual feature instead. I looked through all features and did not find a way to set a time i.e once a day etc.
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
I really enjoy the app. 1.0b worked great and I am really wanting the new app to work also. I have even re-installed Kavana's WM6.1 cab and lost all my apps in order to get this waether app to work. Problems I am having now:

The main screen forecast panel does not show multiple days. All I have is the time, date and a small horizontal bar across the top which the current weather conditions scroll across.

The detailed forecast panel works great, however, on the radar pane and hurricane pane, the thumbnails are very small and unusable. Also the radar updates and shows the southeast Texas radar, but on the forecast panels, it shows the Tennessee radar.

I have downloaded the fullscreen.cpr file and placed it in the /application data folder.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Also, my detailed forecast panels are not updating, they are still showing last weeks weather.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Try these two scripts for radar and hurricane updates. Unzip and drop them into the program files\outerdepth\kpweather\ folder, replacing the originals. For the main screen panel, which layout(number of days) are you trying to use? Let me know and I'll send you a cpr for that as well. Can you show me a screenshot of the small radar images?
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
I am not sure how to take a screenshot. Do I need an app to do that?:confused:

I am trying to use the 5 day forecast with the monitor, however, I have tried several of the options and can't get any of them to work.

The scripts for the hurricane and radar screens worked (both updates correctly), but the images are still very small.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Ok, there are several different apps available that will take screenshots, the one I use is Screen Capture(attached below). I would like to see a shot so I can see how to help on the small images.

On the main screen problem, do me a favor and look in your \program files\outerdepth\kpweather folder and see if you have CHomeRefresh.exe in there.
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
OK, yes I do have chomerefresh.exe in the appropriate folder. I don't see your attachment though...

I really appreciate your help!

Never mind. I needed to refresh my screen! I got the attachment.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
ok, take this cpr, unzip and place in your windows folder overwriting the current. Then go back to the chomerefresh.exe file, and run it. Give it about 2 seconds and then check your homescreen and see if it changed the display.
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
Very nice. I managed to capture 3 screens for your viewing pleasure.:)
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
Chomerefresh.exe dosen't seem to be working. I can see the file, but it will not run when I click on it. :eek:

Now, I can't access the foreast panels and the clock panel on the home screen is stuck. The sliding panels don't work...
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
It runs invisible,basically. If your in file explorer and run it, it will probably be finished before you ever get back to homescreen. Did you unzip that file and put it in windows? Any luck? The pics you showed me are the same problem txcaesar had. Your getting the forecast screen to show, but it has the wrong cpr layout, grab the cpr file from post #83 and put in \application data\ folder. That will fix that. The other cpr i posted a couple of posts above this one should give you a five day forecast on your clock panel. Don't worry about the chomerefresh.exe, it will run when you go to the forecast screen , and once again you when you come back. After you copy both cprs where they go, then click the forecast button, check it, and then return to homescreen and check it.
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
OK, well I did copy the chome_320x240 file to the /windows folder (by the way I also have a file called chome_240x320 there also). I have also copied the fullscreen.cpr to the /application data folder. Still no 5 day forecast on my clock panel. I have also rebooted twice and run the weather update twice.:(

Install Help Requested

Hi there,

I've installed the cab and the mort script from post #1, configured my settings, but have not seen *ANY* change to my home screen other than a line of text just above the time that displays weather info...I can't seem to display any of your wonderful graphics! Help!

I'm using a AT&T Tilt with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Is your weather app compatible with this?

I'm dying to see this work, and would appreciate any help that anyone might offer.

Also, could I make request? Could you re-examine and re-write your setup instructions? I found them incomplete and hard to follow. What is needed are STEP by STEP instructions that are concise. You also have multiple links to many different versions of your app in various stages of development...any way to consolidate all your download info into one single location?

Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to getting this weather app runnin'.

Cheers,

Brendan
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
sorry, but its not compatible with the wm professional, which is why you can't install it. I've been working on setting it up to work with Homescreen PlusPlus on my tilt. Here's some pics of what I have so far( I might have finished it, but I got sidetracked by the manilla2d plugin they've been porting).
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
I'm getting this error come up when I run the weather update. it updates but not the radar, the IE comes up but not to the weather page and then a few seconds later I get this error:

Error

Windows "internet explorer" could not be found

Line 18 (\program files\outerdepth\KPWeather\pie.mscr):

Minimize("internet explorer")

Any suggestions anyone?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
You can try a couple of things, its got to do with internet explorer not coming up fast enough, or too fast. If there's a sleep command before it, then add a little to it. If there's not one, you can add one: Sleep (500). You can also put the character # in front of the line to skip that line, but you might have to manually close PIE after update.

newb help

i just got my phone yesterday, and have been playing around with it constanly, still a complete newb though.

anyways, this app looks great, i just installed it, and everything works fine, BUT i cant change any of the options.

when i go into the ODSHOWeather options, in the menu all i see are really tiny scribles instead of legible words,

seems to be like a problem with the MortScript.

so i reinstalled MortScript, but still having the same problem.

the program looks great, but i would like to see the weather for my location. not just Mephis. lol. PLEASE help newb out.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Sounds like a font problem, it's not mortscript if your able to pull up the menu. did you buy the phone new or used?
[HTC Excalibur] mrony87:
its brand new, ya all the options work, ive been trying the old trial and error, got the location to update.. but screwed up the panel look, looks like sh!t, want to change to the original sliding theme, cant figure it out.. all i see are cursive font thats way to small to be read.

help is appreciated. i have rickwyatts ROM installed
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
thank you Showaco, and I'm sorry for not being specific. it happens when I run the radar update but NOT when I run the Hurricane update. I see IE coming up, but it just stays at the homepage, (in my case, google) and not going out to the accuweather site..and it just sits there, and then finally that error comes up.

which file do I need to edit? The pie.mscr?

radarurl = RegRead("HKLM","Software\Outerdepth\KPWeather\data","radarurl")

radarimage = Part(radarurl,"/",-1)

city = RegRead("HKLM","Software\Outerdepth\KPWeather\data","city")

Call Start

Sub Start

if(procExists("iexplore.exe"))

Kill("iexplore.exe")

endif

Sleep 200

Kill("pimg.exe")

Sleep 200

Connect("The Internet")

Sleep 2000

Run("\windows\iexplore.exe", radarurl)

sleep 800

if(wndExists("Internet Explorer")) <--------> Line 17 has nothing pointing pie

Minimize("Internet Explorer") <----------------------> Line 18

Sleep 10000

Great Program

Guys first I would like to say this is one sweet application. One of the first things I applied after upgrading to wm6.1 on my Q9h.

But like most in here, I have large panel icons now. Installed the icons in the zip file on page 8, but still they are huge. Couldn't really find any other answers in here on how to really fix this issue, thoughts?

Otherwise application is working great for my needs, but few suggestions when you get around to it:

1) Combine all the fixes in new release or update the first post with all the other fixes/files listed in the rest of this thread. Consolidation of these into one place would be sweet.

2) Varibable to let me change how often it goes for updates. Would like to see this be multiple: One for forecast/general info, and maybe another for radar updates.

thanks and keep up the great work.

Error after Uninstall PLEASE HELP

I am having a problem after uninstalling I keep getting a little popup Notification Error that says:

Cannot execute \program files\Outerdepth\KPWeather\KPWeather.exe

How do I stop this from occurring every few minutes?

Please help!

Thanks in advance

You need to remove the entry from the notification queue. To do this, use an app that will let you look at the notificaitions queue. SK Tools Lite is free and will work. Just find KPWeather.exe and remove/delete it.

Setting Image Sizes

Program works great but icon for settings that looks like a speaker is huge and I cannot figure out why. Does anyone have any ideas.

Outerdepth was going to get back to me about a month ago about the setting image icon issue as he thought he might know what it was.

BTW anyone know of a HS that works with this and shows tasks?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
To change the settings icon sizes, you need to edit the cpr file. I don't know what happened to Outerdepth, he just dropped off the map.

Kavana?

Will this weather application work on the HTC S621 with RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE Rom installed? I had the older version of this rom one or two versions before this one installed. I was running into some problems with it working correctly. I'm in the process of installing this updated rom right now. When I installed this weather app on the other version it told me that it might not display correctly because it was not designed for my version of windows mobile.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
The message for "not designed for this version of windows mobile" is because the cab's default wm verson # wasn't set up to 6.1, it won't effect the app working for you at all as it was designed for 6.1. Feel free to try it, but there isn't support for this one anymore.

It the battery/system monitors that are killing your battery. If you remove them and use the weather only, then you will see big improvement.

Very nice looking app, but I am still trying to get it working correctly.

I have update the zip code and I do get correct information temp/condition for the current weather.

However, for the forcast information, the information is not from where I live. Am I missing something?
