hey show..... i don't know what the issue is, but it seems like the .cab is corrupt in some way for 2.14C. i'm trying to extract the condition icons out of them to replace the old ones and only a few are good. the rest of them come out as corrupt or are unreadable. i've tried downloading it a couple of times with the same result.... can you just post the icons for me so i can do my own thing? thanks.

Could it be because the cab is compressed? I believe the cab is good, maybe the compressed cab is giving the extraction problem. Anyway, here's the link to the icons only zip: http://mobile.txcaesar.net/mobile/siteadmins/Showaco/condicons.zip

Where is the latest release?

Noob question maybe, but are all the fixes the community made updated into the original release - the first post?

It is quite an effort to go through 48 pages of posts to gather patches one by one. Thanks for your reply.
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
Yes, 1st and 2nd post.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
None works. Back to my original settings.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
thanks man... those were good.... i dont know about the compression. i usually don't use compression on my .cabs...they seems to mess things up some times and really don't save much space. i tried unchecking the option for compression and re-saved your cab, but it still resulted in corrupt files when i tried to view them.....but the link you sent me works . so thanks anyway for those.

for anyone using the manila 2d icons for version 2.14C that also is using S2U2 and wants to use the same icons as the manilla ones. I have rezised, and re-oriented the icons to work with S2U2. they are only 32X32 icons. all you need to do is unzip the files in the /weather folder included and drop them into the S2U2/gfx/weather directory and overwrite any of the files is prompts for. here they are:

HELP!

I mistakenly uninstalled FeatherWeather while it was on the Forecast panel (using both the FW uninstall menu option and then remove programs) and afterwards my Chome menus were totally gone!

HELP!

Here's the Sliding Panel CPR. It's from Erofich's HTC Rom, but it should be almost identical. Just rename it CHome_240x320.cpr and put in your Windows folder. Run CHomeRefresh if you have it or restart your phone.
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
It wasn't the .cpr -- the registry settings for chome all appear to be set to the forecast instead of the normal chome settings now.

go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Plugins and remove the Alt1;Alt2;etc and then put this in that reg value:

CClock;CHome;CMusic;CMyPhotos;Settings

Of course you can put different panels if you use something different. Then go to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Plugins and put the exact same string in that value. After editing registry, you need to reload homescreen by either a soft reset or chomerefresh.exe.

NOTE: when you go to that first reg location, you may also see a value labeled PluginsBackup, this is the backup of your plugins value. If its there you can simply just copy it over the Plugins value in both locations:)
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
More bad news. While I did this, there are NO entries for CClock;CHome;CMusic;CMyPhotos;Settings/etc anymore. Just the alt1/etc entries. Something in the uninstall seems to have erased these.

[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
ok, I'm not sure why they would be erased since they shouldn't have been in cab (so remove programs shouldn't remove them) or in the uninstall of feather options. I'm don't have my blackjack with me at the moment, but as soon as I get home I will upload my registry for both chome locations which you can import to restore all the entries to save you from having to hard reset. It'll be a few hours though, maybe someone will post them up sooner for you. I'll see if I can find someone:rolleyes:

Here's a copy of the reg, provided by stylez. I didn't download and open it to make sure, after unzipping, you may want to open with notepad and remove any entries you don't want put in your registry before importing:)

[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
That did the trick - and thanks.

BTW, just to test further I went and uninstalled and this time the Clock panel was erased from the registry. Absolutely nothing else was done except to use the internal uninstall and the Settings/Remove Programs.

So something's weird there.

The hourglass is displayed by Windows Mobile when any program is launched. The best I can do is get rid of it as soon as possible as the first instruction in the program.

Wpage!!

Just a reminder before the next installer/cab is created - change the scripts so that a numbered page title is used rather than the WPage that is currently used when adding the Weather Panel to a current sliding panel. The Wpage causes an error in the Chome_Configurator

That is all.

[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:

Just thot up another one...I'd like an option for the clock/weather panel to not use the operator name to scroll the weather information but to simply use the two text lines available there to have a non-scrolling weather info display and leave the operator name alone.

Kermit Woodall

[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
There are no text lines in the clock panel that I know of.
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
Here's what has been done for the next version:

2.15

Fixed: Uninstall procedure in options

Fixed: Compatibility with CHome Configurator

Changed: Radar download will only show wait cursor at the beginning

Changed: Clock panel layout change for portrait version

New: Option to change Clock Panel left soft key to "Update Weather"

Optimized: Forecast updates a little faster

Animation - The panels used don't support animated GIF's.

Additional info - Showaco and I are thinking about this, but haven't found a good way to do this due to the shared layout for the panels.
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Darn - seems like there should be a hack to allow this. Oh well!

Glad to hear you're working on it. Here's another idea. During nighttime display the current phase of the moon graphically on the main clock/weather panel. I have some ideas on how to do this if you're interested.

Hi everybody, waiting for next portrait version. However, I just noted a problem with 2.14b in my VOX. See the attached thumbnail - Its showing 16c with a sun at night 9.04 PM! :eek:

I am from Calcutta / India and 16 C is the minimum temp till now this year - the reason for not noting this problem earlier.

How to rectify this ?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
So was it a one time deal? or has it started always giving wrong info? If it was one time, its possible it was only an accuweather data screw up. If its still happening, I'll check into it closer for you. :)

I checked your feed, and its showing update time of 5:15 am, with a temp of 16 C, temps for Saturday as 30/19 C. So temps sound like they are inline with the 16 your showing. As for as the sun, it may be that you have an icon messed up, if it continues. Right now, it shows the icon as 35.png, which should be a moon with clouds, similiar to attachment below.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
It was a one time deal and after the next few updates it got rectified automatically. Now running OK. Meantime, I have checked and found my icon 35 correct. Might be some problem with the accuweather.

Thanks for your support.
[HTC Excalibur] jhoff80:
So I have two little issues with 2.14B on the Landscape one. For the clock panel, when you scroll past it so its in the mini view, it shows "Today: XXX-XXX"

When its only a two digit temperature, the first two numbers seem to be used. So it will show for example right now "Today: 26 -11" The dash as a separator is slightly confusing because it looks to me like the low is -11. If possible, I would suggest maybe a slash there instead of the dash.

The other issue is that when I make a phone call, the text that had previously been visible in the clock panel shows up at the top of the call in progress screen for a little while. I assume that's because its replacing the carrier name with that info temporarily.

Neither one of these is a huge deal, but just little nitpicks I had.

The other thing is I was wondering if it would be possible to show some sort of summary in the pane that links you to ForecastView? It would be good to have something where you can look quickly and see what it'll be for the next 5 days, as opposed to having to scroll through each day. And maybe the option to put weather on the first pane in the Getting Started panel as opposed to the last would be nice too, though I know that CHome configurator can do this.

i downloaded the portrait version to my shadow and the problem im having is that everything that gives the weather update goes behind my date and time in the same bar and i cant seem to get rid of the time or move the weather application down. anyone know how to do either one?
[HTC Excalibur] bart_simpson_12:
this is probably my second post in a row since i have been reading thru, but if i have to have windows 6.1 where do i go to update my windows 6 since the only knowledge i know of the 6.1 is on the shadow II which doesnt get released until next year

hey showaco. i saw u were using ur weather app on ur fuze posted in the today screen section. is that a modified version for ur fuze, or one u have posted here?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
its a modified version, this one only works with the sliding panels of wm standard. It needs homescreen++UI (and SecondToday if you use touchflo3d, like me) for display. I've got it working good, except occasionally I have to restart the autoupdates, which I haven't figured out why yet. I can make a cab if your interested. I'm getting ready to start a touchflo3d theme that will include it and make it all flow in looks a little better.
[HTC Excalibur] kwill:
i would be more than interested. ive went away from weatherpanel since u cant use the animations on vga screen. so, ive been looking for something cool that provide extra details. greatly appreciated if you can post it or send me a link. thanks a lot.

currently there is no support for non-sliding panels homescreen, since its not actually a plugin, it just manipulates already existing sliding panel plugins.

Hi,

I'm trying your app on my Vox, two things :

- how to disable autoupdate ? (i don't konw if "Update ON Hours" disable autoupdate if i sets 24 to 0)

- why you don't made only package with both portrait/landscape ? (in mscr files, cprbackup.cpr => cprbackup_240x320.cpr/cprbackup_320x240.cpr and two Fullscreen.cpr => Fullscreen_240x320.cpr/Fullscreen_320x240.cpr ?)

Bye.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
- in options, go to set auto update interval, when popup asks if you want to enable auto, say no, or set the update interval to 0.

- it could be done, but it's not as simple as just writing different cpr's. There's also lots of reg entries that would have to be duplicated, and some duplicate stuff in the update script as well. For the standard cpr, it wouldn't need all that, all this would be necessary for the fullscreen cpr though because of the layout differences from landscape to portrait.

After installing version C, all icons in home screen enlarged. Therefore, I removed it, and installed B, but some icons are still enlarged.

i need help with writing a mortscript to refresh neo home screen frequently... any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Try using the attached file(unzip and copy to phone, run from there) and see if it will refresh the homescreen like you want to. If it works, then you can write a mortscript that will run it at specified interval. One thing though to watch, frequent homescreen refreshes may be hard on battery life.

Hi,

I am using featherweatherC and it works pretty well for the most part. I do have 2 issues I would like to fix though.

1. When I manually update the weather, it updates fine, but the mortscript and loop files remain in memory, which cause other problems (ie. clock/date disappears when screen goes blank and alarms dont go off.) When I terminate the files - then everything is fine.

2. When I receive a new sms/mms/email/appointment - the text is so large that it does not all fit on the panel on the homescreen. How can I adjust the text size for those 2 panels?

I miss the exciting days when this project was still active! Seems like showaco and lagasi have either given up on this, or don't have something too different to bring out. What's next guys?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
i dont have an answer to your first question as i dont have this problem. but with the second. you can modify the chome 320x240.cpr file in your \windows directory (or chome 240x320.cpr if you have a portrait phone) . you can modify it by copying it to your PC and use notepad or wordpad to edit the text. It will be under the notifications expanded panel section. you'd basically want to either or both modify the fint style, size and location of where the text is located on the panel
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
So on auto updates it works fine? What type of device do you have and are you using portrait or landscape version? Loop will always be running, unless you disable it in options. And if loop is running, since it is a script, mortscript has to be running to handle the loop script. I never had this problem either.

Been quiet, huh? I've been busy on other projects, not sure about lagasi as I haven't talked to him in quite a while. I don't know that there is too much more that could be added to it. I wish that it could use animations...

Could you give more detail on this? how to exactly find and modify the file?

[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
One more try

Here's another attempt to get you guys to develop a feature that I find sorely missing from the app. I have tried to describe it before, but this time I made a conceptual drawing to show what I'm talking about.

While icons and overviews are great, I would really like the forecast text that is also available as part of the weather feed. The idea would be like what's shown in the drawing.

I've heard brief comments from showaco and lagasi on why this can't be done. What I don't get is that if the radar images can be stacked "side-by-side," why the forecast text panels can't also be the same.

Anyway, bump to the topic again.
