Check out allshadow.com, kron2 has a thread on using it over there.:D
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
I just changed the CPRfilename in the undernoted line in slidingpanel.home.xml and replaced it with CHome.

Before:

<Plugins Order="CClock;CLinks;CHome;CAppointments;Settings" CPRFileName="SlidingPanel" />

After:

<Plugins Order="CClock;CLinks;CHome;CAppointments;Settings" CPRFileName="CHome" />

Meantime I upload all sliging panel cprs and xmls as asked by you
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
Hehe.. Thanks.. I did look there and it's cross-linked to this thread. Sooo.. a little confusing. I made progress on step 1 (installing), and now to step 2.

Only in kron2's screenshots do I see the panel for extended forecast. I enabled all the panels I could see in Chome Configurator, but couldn't get the extended forecast one to show up. Here's what my current screen looks like...

Any help?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
very interesting, thank for uploading
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Thanks for all the help on learning the CPR XML ins and outs. I've gone ahead and finished this up to match what I was after. In addition I also edited your Mortscript files to produce the weather information in what I felt was a more readable format. The Weather/Clock panel still shows all the same information but I reduced the amount of abbreviations used and changed the formatting a bit a well. That all said, here's the final condition icons, scripts, screens and more. All may be used freely so long as a nod is given my way for anything I actually did.

Let's see...what else did I do to the CHome display? Made the default icon size for weather, contacts, Chome_configuator panels and such 64x64, standardized font sizes (might have already been on some people's system but not on mine!) and made the weather forecast sliding panel more readable for a portrait device.

FeatherWeatherCPRsMORE.zip contains everything but the icons. Use whatever you want of it that you like - copy these files over those in the FeatherWeather folder and Windows folder where appropriate (ie: .cpr goes in \Windows\ and the rest goes in the \Program Files\Feather Weather\ folder basically)

condicons.zip are my final and correct icons for FeatherWeather weather conditions.

Enjoy!

What oh what am I doing wrong?

I was so excited when I saw this post!! Mostly because out of all applications, I have found this to be the one I like the most.

So after installing FeatherWeather again, I rebooted as the phone asked me to do. I copied over the cpr files and the icon files.

1. I still don't see the extended forecast panel after multiple times of enabling it in the options.

2. The town I live in Lansing, IL (zip code 60438). In the main panel, I see the town as Crawford (TX?). George Bush is on his way out.. I don't need any more reminders of him.. :D

Any help please??
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
Update

After playing around with the program some more, I've made some headway. I was originally installing FeatherTotalClock, and this time I decided to install just the regular FeatherWeather.

Now when I clicked on Enable Forecast Panel, by magic the panel appeared! Whoo hoo! I guess success.

Now come the actual feeds. In the first one, the hi/low is totally off! It wasn't a high of 101! Crawford again?

The next is the extended forecast panel. The date shows Sunday 8/11. Ummm.. that's not today (Tuesday, 11/4).

Any help or comments?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Thanks for this, I'm sure the portrait people would like a new layout to be able to change to.:D I'll add a link to first post.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Did you download the updated feather.mscr file and overwrite the original? I 'll take a look and make sure I have the right one posted.
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
And we're all good!

The phone ran through a few updates, and now everything is as it's supposed to be! I don't know what happened, but I guess it needs a few updates to get all the data.

@showaco: By the way. the feather.mscr I copied over is the one I found in Kermit's post. Is that the right one? If not, I'll copy yours over, but Kermit said he worked on these so I assumed they were the right one.
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
And now I can say - BRILLIANT JOB! Thanks for putting in all the work. Everything looks very click, and is scaled nicely. Very, very cool!

ps. I hope a few days down the road I don't have to come back with new problems... ;)
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
One of the final things I'm trying to figure out is how FeatherWeather determines which sliding panel template to use and if it would be possible to simply add another template to the .cpr so that it could have it's own layout separate from the other panels.

Wow, this app is sounding sharper and sharper by the day, can't wait to try it
[HTC Excalibur] redmach1_04:
This application didn't install properly on my BJII with windows mobile 6.1 & it gave me a red X next to the AT&T logo once I uninstalled. Thoughts?

Q9c Current Conditions icon

I have a Moto Q9c - I love your weather app.

I would also love it if the current conditions icon showed up in my clock panel! It looks so cool, but it doesn't work for me for some reason - all I get is a whitish clock icon. Updates and weather is working just fine. If you know a fix I would greatly appreciate it! I am running WM 6.1

I am a relative noob to smartphones, but not computers.
[HTC Excalibur] Demetrius3D:
Today vs Forecast

First... LOVE the app! It's the best weather program I've tried on my Dash.

Second... How can I get the the "today" icon on the clock panel to match the today icon in the forecast view. The forecast view seems to always match the actual weather (clouds, snow, rain, etc.) The clock icon seems to just show how cloudy it is.

Third... If I *really* overclock my phone and set all the icons to "sunny" can I get it to be nice outside? I HATE winter! :)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
1) Thanks

2) The today icon should be current weather icon, while the forecast view should be the predicted weather icon.

3) Keep an eye out for FeatherWeather 3.0, that will have option to change actual weather based on what you choose in options:D
[HTC Excalibur] cafterg:
I uninstalled this application and my screen freezes on wm screen and i cant get my phone to work right now! what can I do ??
[HTC Excalibur] Demetrius3D:
Clock Bar Icon

OK... It was hard to tell because it is actually cloudy here so much of the time. But, I changed the location to somewhere I *knew* was sunny and it didn't change. The clock bar icon does ALWAYS show that it's cloudy - regardless of the actual weather! Everything else works fine. Could I have a setting set wrong someplace? Did I miss an update? Has anyone else had this problem?
[HTC Excalibur] Demetrius3D:
Fixed

I just found version 2.14. That fixed the problem right up! Thanks!

[HTC Excalibur] coop3422:
thanks stylez, ur so drmn helpful :)

Okay, now I want to change what are in my sliding panels. lol. I dont need a few, and want things like msn messenger and stuff on it. Time to go to that thread now, lol
[HTC Excalibur] JARG22:
Installed fine,,, but no icons show up.

Hi all;

Been pretty proud of not having to ask for help but I really want this app.

I am running the Rose mod redone by Ricky and Stylez previously had the min weather app installed.

It installs...has changed my clock panel..goes through the updates and connects but then doesn't display anything other then the text information.

Installed 214C

Any suggestions...Im in Florida so I need/want the sun icon...<LOL>
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
it has to do with the rose panels, If you rename the cpr file to same name as the rose sliding panels. I cant remember the name right now, but you have two slidingpanels available, one is htc and other is standard, the standard is the name you want to use for chome320x240.cpr installed by feather. I remember covering this in the featherweather2 thread, you should be able to find more info searching over there.
[HTC Excalibur] MaxxPower:
I uninstalled and am CONSTANTLY getting an error message "Cannot execute \Program Files\FeatherWeather\loop.exe". I installed SKTools but I don't see any notifications pertaining to this to get rid of it. I've tried installing/uninstalling FW several times and I can't get rid of these notifications, I just want this off my phone. Please help!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
There has to be a notification otherwise you wouldn't be getting notification that \Program Files\FeatherWeather\loop.exe couldn't be run. Did you go to "Notifications Queue" in SKTools? It has to be there, if its not there then you are hallucinating these notification issues.:rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] MaxxPower:
I don't think this is a hallucination (see attachment). The notifications queue shows many named "\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SCRIPT:0x00xxxxxxx" at odd intervals throughout the day and other days listed. Other than those there's nothing pertaining to FW at all. Since I have no idea what these notifications are I'm reluctant to delete them.

BTW, the phone is an AT&T Fuze, I know I'm in the Excalibur thread but I did a search for this uninstall error and came up with this thread.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I have a fuze as well, and have a version of this installed. I removed the loop from ppc version and so I had to remove this notification too. I also used sk tools, so I will reinstall loop.exe and take some screenshots showing the removal. Check back here later.
[HTC Excalibur] MaxxPower:
Appreciate it much, thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] MaxxPower:
BTW, you might want to fix the removal of the Programs icon on uninstall also. As I noted before, I installed and uninstalled FW several times thinking the uninstall didn't go properly since I was getting the errors, but each time left a new shortcut in the programs folder, they weren't removed during the uninstall.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I never had trouble with icon removing from start menu after using RemovePrograms in Settings Menu of phone.

Here's a step by step of removing with SK Tools, with photos :rolleyes:.

1) Shows working notification before uninstall of loop.exe

2) Shows missing/broken notification of loop.exe. Make sure it is checkmarked.

NOTE: YOURS WILL BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME, SHOULD BE

\PROGRAM FILES\FEATHERWEATHER\LOOP.EXE

3) Press Action soft key to bring up this menu. Choose Delete Marked.

4) This popup for confirmation comes up, Choose YES.

5) Processed popup comes up, click OK.

6) Shows Notification Queue without loop.exe being listed after removal.

I assumed that you already know how to open Notifications Queue using SKTools.
[HTC Excalibur] MaxxPower:
When FW was installed, I went to the FW options and clicked uninstall, then it told me to go to Remove Programs and uninstall from there which I did. Every time I uninstalled, the shortcut remained in the Programs folder with a blank icon. When I installed again it made a new shortcut and added a sequential number to it.

So this process you're showing here for the removal of loop.exe in the Notifications queue, is this with FW installed on the phone? Meaning I would have to install FW, remove the notification, then uninstall FW? As it is right now I don't have this notification in the list.

EDIT: Well, I just installed FW again and I still don't have any notification in the queue pertaining to loop.exe or Feather Weather at all.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
NO, don't install again. Go to \Windows\Start Menu and remove the feather entries from the start menu. Then go to \Windows\StartUp and see if loop.exe is there, if it is, delete it as well. Those are the last things I can think of if notification queue is without the loop.exe entry.
[HTC Excalibur] MaxxPower:
I already got rid of the leftover shortcuts, and loop.exe isn't in the startup folder. Nothing in the notification queue in SKTools. The only thing I can find left on the phone pertaining to FW is a registry entry in HKCU\Software\Mort\MortScript\Processes, there's a DWORD value named \Program Files\Featherweather\featherweatheroptions.mscr. I can't delete this entry with Total Commander, it won't let me, and I can only change its values in a registry editor. I am assuming this is what is causing the phone to still look for loop.exe, any suggestions?

EDIT: OK, I was searching for a way to keep ActiveSync from starting all the time for no reason and found a task manager program with instructions on how to turn off the notification for it, and wouldn't you know it the loop.exe notification shows up in this list also, so I was able to disable it. Have no idea why SKTools didn't show it at all.
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Hello,

First and foremost I have to echo all the appreciation for this unbelievably awesome work. Thank you very much!

I'm using the TotalClock version on my Shadow running the Erofich 6.1 ROM. It looks beautiful.

Three things I've noticed, in case you start updating this again...

1) The FeatherOptions.mscr has an error on line 84. It says "Call AdvanceOptions" instead of "Call AdvancedOptions" - was a quick and easy fix obviously so if others experience this they can just edit their file with notepad.

2) For some reason, I never get a value for the wind gusts. It just says "gusts to mph". I checked Accuweather for my zip and they are indeed listing a gust speed on the "regular" website, but I can't find where Feather stores its weather data so I can't check to see if it's in the feed. Any thoughts?

3) At the end of the conditions cycle on the clock panel, the last page is just blank (well, it still shows the current temp and conditions icon, just nothing on the bottome portion where the conditions go). I assume this is the page where "user defined" text would go, but I don't have any user defined text. Is there a way to make this last page not show in the cycle?

Thanks again,

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
1) Thanks for posting that.

2) Yeah, accuweather changed the feed and removed gusts from current weather part of feed. In featherweather2, we changed it to grab windgust from that days forecast windgust instead. Look at the feather.mscr, and you can find the url for the feed(have to add in your location and metric info, metric is 0 for farenheit, and 1 for celsius). You can access the feed from pc and take a look at it.

3) You can edit loop.mscr to remove the last regwrite part that is for custom text.

I would highly recommend you upgrading to featherweather2, its downloads for the weather data are incredibly faster. Now full updates take about 10 seconds compared to close to minute on this version. It also should have all of your issues accounted for that you listed. For loop, you can change individual text on/off, turn all off, or turn all on.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
double post, damn xda breaktime(happens here at 7:30 pm everyday) caused it, I know it wasn't me:eek:
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
You rock man. Thanks for the quick reply.

I had gone with the TotalClock version simply because my first couple times trying the 2.14 version the forecast panel wouldn't work - it would go to it, show only one day, and the "Back" option wasn't there so I'd have to go into the Chome Configurator and reenable everything. But, I think this was my fault somehow. I've just reinstalled 2.14b and everything works perfectly.

Man oh man are the updates ever faster! Sweet!

Everything is running wonderfully now. Thank you very much for your hard work and great support!

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Two more questions if I may,

1) is there a quick and easy way to slighty increase the main current conditions icon on the clock panel?

2) Can the speed through which it cycles the current conditions on the clock panel be increased? I'm just impatient. ;-)

THanks once again,
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yes and yes:)

1) You'll need to edit your CHome xml file to increase icon size.

2) Open the loop.mscr file with notepad. Notice where it has the Sleep commands. The number following( I think it was "Sleep 2000"?) is the time delay. 2000 is 2 seconds since time is in milliseconds. You could change it 1000, 800, or whatever time delay you want. You can set different delays for each text if you want more time for some and less for others.
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Thanks. Piece of cake. Made the icon bigger, looks great. :-)

Not to be a pain, but I've found another question...

I have been trying to change the font size on the forecast panel. I think it's too big, as I'm getting "..." after the sunset time. Please see screen capture.

I changed font sizes in the Fullscreen.cpr, and then refreshed the homescreen as well as rebooted. Neither action seems to help. Am I in the right spot? I apologize if this has been covered.

Thanks for the support, (I'll be hitting your donation box on payday!)

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Actually, looking at your screenshot, your fullscreen cpr didnt' activate. Your still seeing the default cpr with just the new panels for forecast. Make sure the fullscreen cpr is copying to right file name/location. Open the forecast.mscr and check these lines:

Copy("\Windows\CHome_240X320.cpr","\Program Files\FeatherWeather\cprbackup.cpr",TRUE)
Copy("\Program Files\FeatherWeather\Fullscreen.cpr","\Windows\CHome_240X320.cpr",TRUE)

There is a couple of set of lines like these. Make sure it has correct names and locations. It should have worked if you have the correct orientation for your device(landscape or portrait version) unless you have different cpr names.
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
WOW!

I forgot that the forecast screen was even supposed to look like that. It's friggin awesome!

Thou art too good!!

Thanks a million times over! I've got everything EXACTLY the way I hoped - time to do a backup! ;-)

This beats every single other weather program available, and I've used quite a few. Fizz Weather, Pocket Weather, NRG Weather, HTC Weather - none compare to yours. Truly great work.

Good Karma to you!

Thanks,
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Back to bug you some more... ;-)

Is there a way to have the clock panel on the homescreen always show:

Feels like

Wind data

Last update time

On three lines, and not loop through the data? I found that increasing the loop frequency too much made the homescreen run rather sluggish. Figured having that data all shown at once, and not having it loop, would keep the homescreen running smoothly and allow me to see the info I want with just a quick glance...

If it'll take a lot of tweaking with size/positions, etc, could you just point me to what/where I need to edit and I'll work out the positioning myself?

Greatly appreciate it!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Sure you can. To get that data, you will have to edit the feather.mscr so that it writes that data to the txt1 in registry. Then you can edit loop.mscr to a longer Sleep delay. Then go to Feather options and set text loop so that is the only one that is used. You'll have to play with the spacing in feather.mscr of txt1 til you get it to display correctly. The other way(and I'm not sure if it will work) is to check out a app called Personalizer which can be found in develpment and hacking forum here on xda. It sets a string to operator name and prevents operator name from overriding it. With this(if it works on smartphone) you could do away with loop.mscr and just have feather.mscr write directly to the registry for current operator name(which is where loop is writing to currently).
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
THanks!

A couple ampersands and a whole lot of spacebars later, and I've got it looking exactly as I hoped.

THanks for the guidance!

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Oops! Spoke too soon... ;-)

Granted, this wont happen on roughly 350 days of the year, but take a look at the screenshot of the current temp when it's double-digits below zero here. Think there's a quick way to reposition this?

Appreciate all the great support!

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Nevermind, it was easy to figure out. I think there is an "error" in the CHome cpr though. Here is the relevant part:

<!-- HomeHome==Clock layout templates -->
<Layer ID="ClockExpanded" Visible="False" Width="240" Height="130">
<Layer ID="Page">
<!-- Icon on left side -->
<Image ID="Icon" Left="6" Top="8" Width="100" Height="90"/>
<Image ID="CTempDigit1" Source="\Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons\digit1.png" [b]Left="55"[/b] Top="10" Width="14" Height="25" />
<Image ID="CTempDigit2" Source="\Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons\digit2.png" Left="51" Top="10" Width="14" Height="25" />
<Image ID="CTempDigit3" Source="\Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons\digit3.png" Left="66" Top="10" Width="14" Height="25" />
<Image ID="CTempFC" Source="\Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons\degree.png" Left="80" Top="10" Width="18" Height="9" />

It's the Left="55" attribute for the digit1.png. I set that to 41 instead, but right after when I updated the weather the damn temp went up to 8 below, so I can't see how well it worked. Argh. Oh well, I'm sure that's all it was.

THanks,
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Cool. I manually changed the digits in the panelicons folder and checked it. Once I moved the Left attribute for the digit1.png back a little more so that it was 14 less than digit2, it looks good.

THanks again!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Glad you got it, BTW, did you end up using Personalizer or did you just edit loop and feather scripts to only show that info? I'm sure lagasi can address that digit1.png since your on portait version. Did you set it to around 40 or 45?
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
I just ended up having the Feather.mscr write all the needed data to txt1, and then set it to only display the cloud cover in feather options (as this corresponded to txt1). I assume I could change the Feather.mscr to put the values in any one of the txt* fields as long as I pick the proper one in the options. Then I set the loop to sleep for 20 seconds (20000). ;-)

As for the digit1, I set it to Left="37" since the width is set to 14 and the left for digit2 is 51. It looks very nice.

THanks!

EDIT: poh, and I moved the current conditions icon up two pixels to Top="6" just to even the Top vs Left distances...FYI...

Here's a screenshot:

WHich version are you using? I've got it looking great on my backup dash using the 2.14b version for landscape.

See if you can recreate that error, and post the exact words it used. I can probably post a fix for you if Showaco doesn't mind...

Let us know,
