Skinned little bastards!

Hi Dunc

You are SOOOOO right!! The switching is a problem...pop-up versus changelayout...took me ages to work out the difference!

If needed, I am happy to re-skin the WPRes files with the preferred icons of your/others choices. All I need is the png's in 32x32pxl format!

Later Bro'

Hi friends !

(Remember, I´m on WinMo 6.5): on my HD2 for each window opened (also 1st screen) there is the little green "OK" button upper right corner. With THIS ONE it´s the only way for me to close a screen and close the WP-app when I´m in the 1st screen (or maybe doesn´t really close but only moves it in the background ? Although there is nothing to be seen in task-manager but there is some weather-panel associated process running in the background when I check with SKTools).

Will get deeper into this ....................
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PMoto:
Appreciate that info Dunc001. Thanks for sharing.

troed: I'm on WM 6.5 too in my Topaz, and I also have the green button up right.

More that enough for navigate in the app.

The WP work in the background. That's normal behavior. That way it update weather info as schedule. In my case, there is always a WeatherPanel application running all the times in task manager. Only if you close it in the Task Manager, you will get it stopped. That's good to re-run to get update layout changes to take effort.

So... what will you get deeper into???

Now some news: I was desperate looking for animated weather 480x480 (or so) icons in the net.

No luck. I must stay in what we have... so far. Not bad anyway.

One question: the animated icons in WP are in .wpa format. That's a mystery to me. How can I edit or create some?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
PMoto...the search goes on!!

Hi PMoto

I have shared your quest for bigger images and no joy. I have tried to pull them out of Manila on my current ROM...can find the files but not the app. that runs them! :(

I think the WPA files are some kind of image file with embedded animation. I have searched a thousand ways to open and edit them...no luck! :mad: Google tells me they are some kind of "ACT! Word Processor Document" but I doubt it and I don't have this software.

I will keep searching with you until we find a solution ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PMoto:
Thank you Davej: You made it. Google is your friend... more than mine I guess...

There is a lot of work, however...

Let me tell you that I'm afraid if we increase the size of animated icons, WP will lag... a lot.

I'm still playing with animated icons for qvga... and I already feel that!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
PMoto,

They run smoothly in Sense...perhaps the issue is about coding or do you think it is just because they are now running off the SD card?

Dave
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PMoto:
Can't tell. Anyway we must try. However, I will go on Holidays from next Friday until September. Can't help much here. I'm stucked in some testing I was doing, cause of the layout height in popup... like Dunc001 speak about some post's above, and I can't figure out too. I'll leave for now, and i'll try to get the software needed to make wpa files. We'll be in touch.

Cheers my friend.

I do remember having animated icons that I purchased a long time ago. The developer decided not to upscale the icons due to thier size. I will try to find them or him and maybe we can encourage him to take it up again. Here is a thread....

Hi Dunc ! What a great app ! Tx to the devs here the HD2 gets better and better, even better than a Notebook.

What if You pack everything nicely in ONE Install-cab (so nobody can make mistakes :D ) and post it for download on FREEWAREPOCKETPC ? They have no limit for apps...............
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Never made a cab before - anyone offer any guidance (or do it for me :D)?

Ditto this too, any ideas ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] digitalhater:
Is there any chance that someone will create a cab file that does everything you need to manually do so that this can be easily installed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
When you open the Layout dropdown it is scrollable, you just need to scroll down the list until you find the correct layout. You have to ensure you have selected the PhatPhinger theme first or the layouts won't be there.

Europe/UK radars.txt

I've been looking for more UK specific radar images this morning and have found a few static and animated ones. I have edited my radars.txt to remove all of the North America radar urls as well. If you want to use the new list instead then just download it and move it into the Weatherpanel folder on your storage card (if that's where you have installed to), and overwrite the existing radars.txt

Anyone volunteering to make a full cab yet?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
Same problem but for me also the selection of theme is not possible.....dropdown menu is empty and i put the PhatPhinger dir in theme dir.

Another question (sorry for noob): if i try to select weather images all the dropdown menus in the page are empty and program ask to refresh....HOW????

Thanks

I install wp on storage card and unzip Phat folder before copy it (the folder) in theme.....but dont works.....

Please can U explaying more about how to use images and setup it and if it is possible, for more clearance about icons, a treeview of a correct dir and subdirS.

Picture

O.K. for the benefit of those who cant configure. I try to explain using screenshot.

Read first post. At step no 9 and 10, with screenshot:

9. Open your start menu and then open the Second Today folder. Click on Second Today (NOT Settings). This first run will open the Second Today Settings. On the Plugins tab ONLY check the box beside WeatherPanel. You can then select any background image as normal at the bottom of this window (Use custom background). Then select the Settings tab and delete the word Start in the Window-Title box. Leave everything else as it is and click the right softkey to confirm. This will then open the Second Home window.

Image Hosting

10. Weather Panel will then configure. You then need to add your cities (NOTE - WP does not utilise My Location so you have to manually enter locations you want weather info for) which is just a case of clicking Add New, then entering your city name in the Search For box. Once you’ve added each new city you then need to add weather images for each city (if you want weather maps to show up). If all your cities are in the same part of the world (i.e. Europe) then you just need to add the same image(s) for each city. I’m in the UK so all my cities use the same Europe maps. Once you’ve added all your cities and images click on the Display tab.

1] In the Theme dropdown select PhatPhinger IV Altered.

2] In the Layout dropdown select Phat+265.wpl – this is really important as this is the layout file for 480x800.

3] In the Icon Set dropdown select HTC VGA Icons.

Once you’ve done this then click your hardware back key and you should then see the main WP display for the first city in your list. The up/down arrows at the bottom of the screen let you scroll through your cities. To exit the WP screen back to wherever you were simply click the right softkey (green tick on my screenshots).

Image Hosting

Hope you guys understand. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
Ok...now more clear....

Only one last doubt: the right softkey to be pressed is the "ok" in upper right corner.....right? (ask this because in the bottom I havent any softkey as the images in first post....)

Thanks

Alex
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
The images in the first post are from my install on a WM6.5.5 ROM. If you are installing on an earlier version of Windows Mobile I presume you press wherever you see OK :)

Hope you get it working!

Problem with text on Moon page

I have this problem with the text on the upper half of the moon info page. I'm going to try and find out how to edit the wpl layout file to correct it but it may take me some time! If there is anyone out there cleverer than me who wants to have a crack at it and let me know what to do then be my guest. Oh, and while you're at it could you also see if you can figure out how to move the top bar up to cover the top of the main page text just showing at the top of the image...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kangmas:
O.K. , but

No problem for me, bro. Text layout is o.k. It just that I am missing some words. "The next phase will be, ............." . Dunno why :confused: :confused:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Posted about this earlier in the thread. Haven't figured out a workaround I'm afraid - just backup your WP folder to PC and restore it after you've been playing around with Android.

I did read something on the Weatherpanel forum about loading WP to device but having the Icon folders on your SC. Haven't tried it though so you'd have to do your homework ;)

Thanks for this great work. This is my shoot screen, the city is incomplete also a scrool bar appears in the right. Any suggestions??

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PMoto:
I guess you must edit your layout file (Notepad will do it) and reduce 20 pixels in the height, like this:

;HEIGHT

360 (if you have 380, or to 340 if you have 360)

Save, and copy to the phone. Restart WP.

That should do.

Can anyone offer me any suggestions please, as I am going on holiday and would like to be able to keep upto date with the weather.

Go to settings -> connections and enable "establish connection" in "Auto Update Data".

That should do.

Make sure about your data plan... that could cost a lot.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Com setting in WP is for GPS? I have a similar problem with WP updates when not on wi-fi but they do come through - they just take ages. I'm on Orange in the UK. Maybe just poor signal in you area like me (crap 3G here!). I just download at home before I leave and then at the office. When I was in London updates came through much quicker than home on 3G. Maybe you just have to live with it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
I had hoped that was the case, but it hasn't updated in 6 days.

I think maybe COM4 is not connected to the GPS, but I cannot figure out which one it is on the TP2.

I'm gonna ask about.

I cant check weatherpanel in secondtoday settings, anyone knows a solution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
I'll start with the obvious, apologies if they are too obvious:

Did you reboot after installing them? Not always needed but always worth a try.

Sometimes SecondToday has 2 pages of options, did you scroll along to make sure

It sounds like if it does not appear it did not install fully, so uninstall both SecondToday and WeatherPool.

Beyond that, make sure that WeatherPool isn't selected in Sense and it may appear in SecondToday.

Good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] phikal:
It seems weatherpanel wont uninstall and install completly.

Files are not being installed on the sdcard.

With explorer delete entire second today folder and WP-folder.

Run SK-Tools and check registry for invalid entries and clean registry

Let me tell You that this weather app can´t be topped any more :D

Although Dunc decided to mention also me, the credit for the DDT-version goes to Dunc and Davej alone .......... :D

I learned by my minor moddings the complexity of this program and I am stunned by the genious work Dunc has done here from the scratch.

Might the core be the Weather Panel from Marsware, the DDT-version app now is completely different program in every little detail.

It takes less space on storage card, works much faster than the old versions and is a beauty to look at.

No Go

Sorry Slick

It is a port from an old WM3/4/5 application. I t was never designed for nor can be used to replace the Sense weather. That's why is uses the 2nd Today....Change your CHT 1.8.5 weather to point to WP...you can then ditch the Sense tab altogether!!

Enjoy

Davej :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Yeah, just to add to Dave's reply - on your home tab (assuming your are using Cookies Home Tab) select Menu(right softkey)>Cookies Home Tab Editor>Applications and then set the weather app to Second Today. Once you've done this you need to exit CHTE and Sense will restart. After this a touch on the weather element of your home tab (beside/below the clock or whatever you have selected) will take you straight to the Weatherpanel main screen :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kangmas:

regarding my problem, CHT Editor is not working because of the manilla version, that's why I asked for another way !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Until you get a fix for your CHTE issue you could just put a quicklink to Second Today on your home screen (and use JWMD Icon Changer or similar to give it a nice weather icon to finish off ;)). The just click on the quicklink and you'll be there :D

Left and right of the city-name You see blue arrows: when You touch them You can cycle through manually

when You pinch on settings symbol You can choose city directly.

I have organized my cities-list as follows:

hometown - next capital city - capital cities of Austria from east to west (I live in the east) - major/capital cities of bordering countries (Hungary, Germany, Chechia etc.) - then London (This is where Dunc lives :D) and Sydney (this is where Davej lives :D), then Auckland/NZ and Taupo NZ

all in all approx. 35 cities.

To prevent too much download I have organized my radar maps like this

all 8 maps I have only in my home-town register (´cause they are the same for all Austria)

under the first German city 4 maps for Germany, for Switzerland 2 under the first Swiss city and so on
