Yet again - how have you managed to install the icon folders with no icons in them? All you need to do is click on the download links in the first post:

STATIC ICON SET

DAVEJ'S ANIMATED ICON SET

...then unzip the folders, and place the complete unzipped folders into the Weatherpanel\Icons folder. Each folder should contain a full set of 48 weather icons (named 0 to 47) in the root folder, plus several subfolders - Huge2, Large, Large2, Large3, Mini, Moon (Large2 and Mini also contain a Moon subfolder) - in which there will be another full set of 48 weather icons (named 0 to 47).

I have just downloaded the static icon set to check it - it downloads and unzips correctly and the unzipped folder just needs placed straight into Storage Card\Program Files\Marsware\Weatherpanel\Icons. I'd suggest you delete everything that you have in the Weatherpanel\Icons folder, download and unzip both icon sets again and copy the fresh unzipped COMPLETE folders to the WP Icons folder.

I have to point out that ALL of these instructions are laid out clearly in the first post. I can't remember anyone having this much trouble installing before and we've had over 10,000 downloads :rolleyes:

Let me know if you have any more problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
No he doesn't. He's on a 6.5 ROM (Start button in top left) so he has the correct theme installed. You need both the standard and AI versions of the theme for your WinMo version installed if you want to be able to switch between the static and animated icon sets.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HorstDCC:
... all the more admirable that you put in this much effort to help this person.

Great support!

From afar it seems that GLO does not unzip correctly.

Dear GLO,

If that is the heart of your problem then know that you can make the entire directory structure with all the files in it on a PC and then copy or move that on top of an installed version.

good luck

Excellent work and superb support - I trust you have received enough coffees from a significant proportion of those downloads to give you a permanent caffeine high!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Nope - 10,000+ downloads and only ever received 6 donations including yours :eek: Hey ho, didn't do it for the fortune or fame...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
Should be 7 now! Thanks. I just wish the weather it forecast was better, but I cannot blame you for that.

A quick warning for anyone using this abroad. It cost me over £20 because I forgot that unlike other programs I use, it does not have a "don't connect while roaming" feature. So it downloaded data and maps for two days before O2 sent me a data warning. And I had been so careful to use the hotel's wi-fi instead of the phone network so as not to do anything that would have caused me to use data abroad. You have to manually go into the settings and change the download frequency to DON'T.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
That is most kind of you :D And yes/no on the data - you can specify the download interval, and obviously the more cities and weather images you have specified the more data you will use. When I first started using it my traffic was around 17Mb a day until I decided to remove all of the maps and images/cities I liked looking at but didn't really need and it dropped to below 2Mb. Or alternatively just use something like CHTS or WMLongLife which can restrict or block data use when roaming for all or specific apps.

Hi.

Thanks for this replacement for the cr.... HTC weather app. It is by far the best.

I have translated the language to Danish (DK) and will upload it here, perhaps you could put it in the original post!?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
Hi all.

first off, This is a great app. It works great (exept the small issue I have!) and the level of info is fantastic. Top work!!

I installed this last night and it was straight forward enough, I'm not sure if its just me being stupid but the only way I can get the second today to open is to open it through my programs list. If I tap my weather tab it still just gives me the HTC Weather panel. Have I done something wrong?

The only other little bug, is behind where the temp is on the main screen I have a day/night symbol that is obscured behind the temp, I don't see this symbol in any of your screen shots on the first page so again have I done something wrong in the set up?

Aplogies if any of this has been covered before but its hard work to read through all 100+ pages of posts and not get blurry eyed.......

Thanks in advance!!:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
For your first question:

Taken from the first post -

!!!

For your second question please post a screenshot so I can see what the problem is and I'll help you fix it :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] McRog:
Hey, Thank you very much for this. Just installed it and it looks great!

Didn't have any problems so far on HD2 running latest energy ROM.

However I have two small remarks. First:

It's called "Settings" tab :)

Second:

On the "panel 1" (Current conditions screen) it seems like the main temperature (the big yellow number :) ) is cropped or overlayed by the rest of the theme. The number and the degree symbol is ok, but there seemes to be the beggining of a 'C' starting, just before the field of the blue 'feels like' temperature begins. I'm using the Celsius scale so possibly it's The 'C' letter. Otherwise it might be a bracket. Not that it's anything important :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
OK, I think I may have misunderstood you when you said a touch of the weather panel opens up second today. I thought a touch of the sense tab would open it.... Duh!!

As for the screeny, here it is!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
OK, so first thing is you are using one of the 24hr layouts when your system time format is 12hr, so either select the 12hr layout in WP or change your time settings in the World Clock screen menu.

Second, the thing hidden behind your main temp is a moon icon - never seen this before but I am guessing it is something to do with the fact that you aren't using our icon set. Try downloading and correctly installing either of the DDT icon sets (if you are wanting to try the animated icons then make sure you also install and select the AI theme). All the instructions are in the first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] The Whistler:
Hi,

sorry if this has been answered before, but my search did not help me...

I have a small problem with the weather icon on the home screen. I am using CHT 2.0 and the "Analog clock 1" on the home screen. So I have the clock on the left and the weather icon on the right. Of course I have configured it in CHTE that the weather application is SecondToday, so that when I press on the weather icon, WeatherPanel opens. So far so good.

But somehow the weather icon on the home screen does not come from WeatherPanel. It seems as if it comes from the Sense Weather Tab. When I download the weather here in addition to WeatherPanel, the icon and so on from the Sense Weather Tab are displayed. And after some days, when the Sense Tab information ahs expired, this place just stays empty. If I press on the empty space, WeatherPanel opens.

What can I do to have WeatherPanel define the icon next to the clock?

Thanks, The Whistler
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
The only integration with CHT/Sense is the link to Second Today from the CHT weather elements. There is no way if using WP to feed info to Sense. So you just need to go to your Sense weather tab and set an auto update interval so the home weather also stays updated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] The Whistler:
Oh, this is a pity!

The AccuWeather data the Sense Weather Tab is using are MUCH less accurate than the weather data available through the WeatherPanel. The high/low temp are always way off the true values, and even the weather icon is often just wrong.

As the temperatures from WeatherPanel are much better I had hoped to see them on my home tab...

Thanks anyways, The Whistler
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
Hi all,

Especially other HD2 users.

INITIAL installation instructions

for new HTC HD2 users

Please accept these instructions in the intent as given.

i.e. to help other HD2 users.

and perhaps make it easier to understand the install procedure.

Printing in pdf format has misaligned some of the paragraphs.

I'm running an HD2 T8585 manufactured in the AFK (Africa).

I'm running the latest n greatest Energy ROM.

With Cookies Home Tab v2

I'm using WIFI remote Access (very cheap alternative on MarketPlace)

to connect to my phone

as my Micro Connector is NOT working.

I started writing my own install instruction since I liked the WeatherPanel so much.

And because I have NOT found the right combination of settings that work correctly for me and my phone.

Each time I change the settings that obscure the setting button on the main WeatherPanel I change the registry setting and reboot.

Instead of uninstalling and reinstalling etc.

hth
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
Hi all,

Can other HD2 users please reply with which settings your using successfully.

As you can see on the attachments I can't seem to find the right combination.

I would like the combination of the third pics great big sun icon in the middle (but just a bit higher)

in conjunctions with the second pics forecast icons across the bottom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ottergap:
You might try Dafunk60's great theme located in the Rhodium/Themes forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811138 I've been using it for a while on my HD2 and I think it's great.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
That's because you haven't installed everything correctly! Read the first post, follow the instructions - especially regarding selecting the correct WinMo version, and the correct 12hr/24hr version of your preferred layout. Also you haven't installed the icon sets correctly because there is no was the crappy default weather icons should be showing up like in the second screenshot. So before you start criticising RTFM and do it properly. This thread is full of posts just like yours and almost every one of the issues is because the install instructions have not been followed TO THE LETTER. If you want to mess about with icon sets and changing scripts go ahead, but I won't be offering any support.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
Thanks Otter.

Much appreciated.

May give it a go if I can't sort these options out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
Where did that come from?

Where did that come from?

Ah, what a lovely response.

Someone's missed taking their meds today.

Please do be more vague, aggressive, insulting, and bullying.

And jump to more conclusions to justify ridiculous responses like this.

It certainly adds to the quality of this app, this thread, and this forum.

Well done!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
This is the content of a PM I have also just received from this forum member:

Dave and I put many hundreds of hours into DDT WP last year over the space of three months, and many hundreds more hours updating and supporting this thread. We have had over 10,000 downloads since the release of DDT v1 and have only had a handful of installation issues ALL of which we have handheld the users through in this thread until they were fully up and running. ALL of the answers are here in this thread. Thousands of downloads and only a fraction of those with any installation problems. In the wider XDA scene outside this thread I have spent thousands of hours developing themes, addons, widgets and more, and I have supported every thread I have ever posted. And for all of this time and effort I have received maybe 8 donations of thanks, not that this is in any way the motivation for doing any of it. I do it to give something back to the community and to share the work I do so others can enjoy and benefit from it.

However as I am apparently now a burnt out bully you, with your 134 posts and 0 thanks, obviously know and contribute far more than I do to the community so from now on you are free to take over the support in this thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
I'm asking for clarification.

If anyone would care to assist please feel free to PM me if you prefer.

Can someone translate this for me please:

2. Download and unzip one or both of the icon sets:

Why both - shouldn't it be one or the other

If both are later copied the second set of icons copied would overlay the first.

So its either static or animated - not both

Whould that be correct?

5. Now you need to copy the complete unzipped icon set folder(s) to Storage Card>Program Files>Marware>Weatherpanel>Icons. If you are installing the animated icon set you also now need to install the unzipped AI theme folder to Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Themes

This is too vague.

The term "icon set" and the term "animated"

are used to describe a number of zipped files in multiple categories.

I believe I am running WM 6.5 and NOT WM 6.5.x

My first attempt was to view the animated icons but I think I will stick with just the static icons this time.

Exactly which icon sets (file names preferred) would step 5 be referring to in this static Icon situation.?

I've attempted to decrypt this instruction with the following:

5. Now you need to extract EITHER the

DDT Diamond WVGA Static Icons.zip

OR

DDT Diamond WVGA Animated Icons.zip

files and folder to:

Storage Card>Program Files>Marware>Weatherpanel>Icons

Again this time I won't be pursuing the animated icons so the second sentence in step 5 is (I believe) not relevant to this exact situation.

Again, please feel free to contact me via PM if you prefer.

It looks like since I'm only pursuing the static icons this time I only need to use the

DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Static Icons.zip

and extract into Storage Card>Program Files>Marware>Weatherpanel>Icons

Would that be correct?

And later if I decide to use the animated icons I should use

DDT Ultimate V2 6.5 AI.zip

and extract into Storage Card>Program Files>Marware>Weatherpanel>Themes

and

DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Animated Icons.zip

and extract into to Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Icons

Would that be correct?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] The Whistler:
Dunc,

don't be annoyed by these posts - the despription in the first post is perfectly clear and well to understand. It is no problem to follow them and to set up the WeatherPanel. Your work is much appreciated.

BTW, do you know if there is a possibility to use the same data source for the Sense Weather Tab that is used by your application?

Thanks from The Whistler
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] halloj:

translation from Russian to English by a Korean volunteer.

Hello Dunc001,

It's good that you can be cynical because you actualy should fight this kind of belittlement.

Since the beginning of this thread (and app) I followed everything with interest. Obviously I admire the app. And I admire the fact that you patiently keep supporting it and keep answering any innocent question.

Although BarrySumpter's reaction seems completely over the top, his motive might be genuine. In this international community it sometimes help to have an alternate phrasing to a set of instructions.

Then again, they seem to have been quite adequate so far.

Anyway, you have my support.

If you wish, you also have my help as a semantic specialist.

best regards,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HorstDCC:
See, even though the phrasing of the instructions obviously irritates you, you have no trouble interpretating them correctly.

It's a shame that you feel the urge to convey so much of that irritation.

By the way I concur that point 2. is confusing. A better phrasing would be "Download and unzip your choice of icon set."

best regards,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
LOL

No trouble. Just confusion and uncertainty.

Any chance of a better phrasing for point 5?

The phrasing of the instruction DON'T irritate me at all.

They just confused me.

My irritation was conveyed in response to an over the top public flame responding to a very well meaning post.

Asking for the post to be accepted as assistance.

And certainly not criticism.

My public response was delivered.

My well deserved other response was delivered in a PRIVATE MAIL to the flame poster.

Where the sanctity of that PRIVATE MAIL was betrayed by the flame poster by choosing to post the private mail in the public forum.

The second flame was posted with exaggerated and unproven statistical reasons why he should be able to flame as he wants since others are beneath him.

It's my opinion the flame poster has issues that only he can deal with.

It's also my opinion that posting supporting messages without clarifying that flames are no longer PC only enables and encourages to continue flames.

Hi,

Excellent work by all involved!

I enjoy using this weather screen, but I have a small issue.

The large animated icon on the main screen doesn't appear to be as large as it should, and it is in the top left, and not in the centre.

It's like the icon is QVGA, and not VGA.

Does that make any sense?

Any idea why this has happened?

Thanks.

Steve.

New Version of Themes

I've been using this excellent piece of work for a while. But recently I started having more difficulty than normal discerning the difference between the number "6" and the number "8" on some of the screens, mostly due to my eyes.

As a quick test, I changed the fonts in the theme to the default Windows Mobile font, Tahoma. To me, this was much more readable, probably due to Tahoma being designed for ClearType.

But the spacing of some of the screen elements was now off.

So I decided to rework the themes to use Tahoma exclusively. Attached are two new theme folders that are the result. To try these themes out, extract the two theme folders into the "Themes" directory of your WeatherPanel installation. If you used the default DDT_Ultimate cab install, this will be on your storage card.

The new themes are called "DDT Ultimate V2 7.0" and "DDT Ultimate V2 7.0 AI". Use the theme ending in "AI" if you are using animated icons, or the other theme for static icons.

There are only three layouts for each theme instead of six as in the original DDT Ultimate. There are no longer options for 24 hour clock versus 12 hour clock. The screen elements have been resized to fit either.

I use the "Mid" layout, and I've always had trouble closing the info panel with the arrow on the right. Now, just touch the info panel body to close.

The refresh graphic has been changed. The circular arrow changes color when WeatherPanel is downloading new data. Also the refresh graphic now appears only on the main screen. It appears to me that WeatherPanel won't do a refresh when it is displaying a popup.

Installing this file won't change anything in your DDT_Ultimate install. If you don't like the themes, just change back to your original theme and delete the two folders.

Hey out there, if someone's still active here in this Windows Mobile Reservation!

It's quite slow in changing the images and screens, but that doesn't matter, it looks so great!
