OK, I'll amend the first post shortly with instructions for current users upgrading to the new theme but in the meantime:

1. Download the DDT theme folder and fonts from 1st post and the DDT icons from the HERE

2. Extract all the zips.

3. If you are running a 6.5 ROM you also need to download the 6.5 Overwrite zip from the first post, unzip and overwrite all the files into the main DDT theme folder.

4. Place the fonts in your Windows>Fonts directory on your device

5. Place the theme and icon folders in the relevant WP folders on your storage card as usual.

6. BEFORE YOU RUN FOR THE FIRST TIME - Go to your Start Menu and open the Second Today folder. Click on SToday Settings and in the display tab check the box beside 'Disable Command Bar'

7. Run WP and select theme, icon set and layout (DDT_Ultimate_V1+)

8. Enjoy :D

Awesome job !

Thank you very much for the great efforts making the new DDT theme....

Now the only problem with 'Weather Panel' is the problem that happens upon using Android on LEO, which requests to reinstall/re copy all the files again to weather panel folder to make it work again .........

Hi Dunc !

Of course I also programmed Pickering (no problem to know THAT, it´s on every Pic You post ! :D) but I wonder if other readers of this thread might know WHERE Pickering is ............. :D:D:D:D:D

So don´t worry, if I have to fly there I will find it (if Weather(panel) permits :D)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Yeah, still absolutely no idea why this happens :confused:

Could you make this into an EXT for chefs?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Beyond me I'm afraid but delighted if someone wants to do it for us - already said I'm happy for it to be cooked in by chefs so if anyone want's to make it easier then by all means - the more the merrier :D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
I am working on making a cookable ext but have run into an issue sense some of the files are not unzipped till it is launched during installation. Meaning there is no where to copy the themes and icons folders to when cooking them in. Ill post it up if I can get it working
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 996r:
Excellent app, thanks to everyone involved for their hard work.

Just one slight problem showed up with my HD2 setup.

I had my clock set to 12hr format and the sunrise/sunset times showed up truncated - only showing ":48 AM" and ":31 PM".

It appears the app has 5 or 6 characters allocated to showing that time and was getting confused with the am/pm characters.

Changed my phone to 24hr format and it works fine.

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] catman51:
Same problem with 12 hour time. Hopefully someone can fix?

Also, want to really thank everyone involved in this. By rights WPanel should've died when Martian vanished, but everyone that has kept it going, you folks are amazing.

Best weather program just keeps getting better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] abraxas2:
because he forgot to mention that you have to create new directories in the "Themes" and "Icons" folders... Not just to copy there the content of the zip files....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Working at it...need help

Hi Catman

I have found the responsible entry in the WP.dll. Just need to play around a bit to see if I can get a fix...sorry...noob coder not pro!!

Any readers with the skills...Heads UP!!

Ciao

Davej :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] catman51:
Thanks Davej! I did move the sunrise and sunset icons to the left, but still only minutes, no hours.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
What? When you unzipped the files it should create a folder with the same name as the zip file. You then move the DDT Ultimate WVGA folder into the theme folder in WP, and the DDT Mod Diamond Static folder into the Icons folder in WP. Not sure why you're trying to find a Phat layout? If you read the instructions you'll see the layout you are after is DDT_Ultimate_V1+ which should be the very first layout in the dropdown list (although you may have to scroll back up the way to find it)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
12hrs problem solved

Trust an Aussie to go in boots first! Forget about the dll, it's much more straightforward than that. The text bounding box for the sunrise and sunset times is currently not wide enough to contain the full 12 format time with am/pm (I only ever use 24hrs so have never come across this, or realised that WP took its time format from your phone setting). Just needs a little tweak to the layouts to make it work. I'll have a look tomorrow and post 12hrs overwrites for both 6.5 and 6.5.x

You can stop panicking now my friend ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eroc162:

Thnx,

It looks great got one question or two questions, got on the right side anslider and dont have an whole screen, i dont want the slider the buttons are behind it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Hi Saint !

Make sure the box "show command bar" in Second Today SETTINGS is UNCHECKED

Make sure You copied the 360 DDT-file into themes-folder !!!!

Should work for You ( I had the same prob with my 1.66/WM 6.5 ROM), Dunc solved it for us :D:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
For scrollbar issue - RTFI or look in the FAQ section in post 2 as you haven't followed the instructions correctly.

For the moon let me take a guess - it is after sunset and the current conditions are clear?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
There are some sources that use dedicated day-adresses. These won´t work.

After a long process of trial and error and a lot of searching I´ve found very reliable and hi-res weather anims-sources for Europe

Find attached the "radarsnew.txt", download, copy to Weatherpanel root-folder, rename Your existing "radars.txt" to "radarsold.txt" (in case You wanna keep it), rename the "radarsnew.txt" to "radars.txt" and You are done so far.

THEN !!!!! You have to start WP and edit the maps for each City AGAIN !!!!!!

Once editing radar-maps for Your Cities is done You have to exit settings.

Do a softreset

Start WP anew and go to radarmaps

Choose Your desired map under "1", then "2" and so on by touching th list-symbol in the left upper corner

Do an update (the more maps You have registered the longer it will take)

After update is finished do a softreset

Start WP anew and Your maps are there.

You can then move the maps to the desired spot of Your interest by touch-press and move, magnify them with magnify-glass and show the animation by pressing the play - button (some maps - like accuweather - do one cycle and then go black, can´t help it).

Enjoy

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cheesekeeper:
Beautiful work. Apologies if this has been asked before (can't find it anywhere), but is there an easy way to get the 5-day forecast and info panel to be open by default (or just integrate them into the page so they don't close)? Looks like it could be done by putting the contents of the wpx files into the main wpl, but I'm guessing all of the icon and image locations would then need to be manually changed to put them in the right places. Any suggestions? Thanks.......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Layout changes

To quote Dunc

" DDT is actually four separate almost identical layouts which switch when you open or close the info panel and forecast panel. If you are making a change in the main V1+.wpl you need to apply identical changes in V1+i.wpx, V1+f.wpx and V1+if.wpx so the illusion of the hide/reveal panels remains intact. " ;)

Cheesekeeper

Bear this in mind when you overwrite the files and remember to keep a back-up of the originals :D

Its likely do-able but the intention was to make the various components reveal/hide by single touch to be seamlessly interactive. Fixing a single component was not Dunc's intention...hence the complex and brilliantly written page integration.

Let us know how you go...with all the mail and questions it may not be something DDT can get to soon...sorry :o

Great but runs slowly

I've just installed this tool. It is fantastic!

The only remark I could make is that it runs pretty slowly. Do you have also this feeling? Or maybe I did something wrong
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
12hr time format overwrites

Overwrites for all of you using 12hr time format are now in post 2. As far as I could see there were only issues with the sunrise/sunset times on the main screen and the same on the detailed forecast screen. If you find a problem anywhere else let me know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Believe me this runs a lot quicker than it did on previous themes! Sometimes it may seem slow but it is actually doing an update? What exactly do you find slow?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Give me am hour or so and I'll write you a new version of the theme with the panels permanently open - I need to edit every screen and amend the semi-transparent backgrounds for the two pop-out panels so bear with me!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] happyfree:
It is slow even when it is not doing an update. I mean each time I click on an area, for instance when I click for having the 5-days forecast, the radars, the details of the day, etc. The screen takes more than 1 sec to be displayed
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Hey man, what is ONE second when the most complete weather-sit and forecast in the world reveals to You ? :D:D:D:D

Just kidding .......................

Older versions are much more slow (2-3 seconds) and what You might not know:

Everytime You switch a city or graph the basic infos (temp, rain, wind etc.) are renewed and downloaded from the web. This was to be seen in older versions when the "update" button for 1-2 seconds chnaged to "update-active".

So it"s not the app that's slow, it"s because You get the newest data ...... :D:D:D (and this behaviour is hardcoded in Marswares basic program)

DDT Ultimate V1 Lite

OK, much more editing than I had expected as I now have to make four sets of everything - 6.5 and 6.5.x in both 12 and 24 hour formats! What a pain in the arse :p

Anyway, for those of you who would like it here is the Lite version of the theme, which basically has both pop-out panels permanently displayed on the main screen. All you need to do is select the correct WM and time format from the four choices at the bottom of this post, download and unzip, and copy all of the files and pngs into the DDT theme folder in WP. You then need to go to the WP settings screen and in the layout dropdown select DDT_Ultimate_V1Lite.

As I said there were a huge amount of changes to be made to the screenchanges to get this to work properly so if you find any issues I'll have a look and see if I've missed anything!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Just checked and all files from bottom of the post download OK, and link in instructions to the download site for the icon set is also working - what exactly are you having trouble with?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] happyfree:
Thank you for this clear explanation!

I suppose it's not possible to block this download of data? (especially as you have already specified an autoupdate in the settings).

But I'm still surprised that new data are downloaded even when I click on the retractable arrows (I dont see any active connection)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cha_jayren:
can this be just a straight forward intall like any other cab files this look really complicated to me as im not much a IT genius like you are
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Way too complicated for a cab I'm afraid as it is actually two different programs, plus CHT settings. Plus the icon set is way too big to cab and too big to post on XDA. Just follow the instructions - they are designed to be pretty much idiot-proof if you follow them step by step.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Go you good thing!

Go Dunc!!! :D

Davej :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
I'm not sure it does update every time you change screen, I think in the previous theme we were all playing around with the way the refresh button had been designed may have made it appear that way but I have checked with SPB Wireless Monitor and WP doesn't draw any data unless it is actually doing an update. The reason for the very slight delay when opening and closing the main panel popouts, and changing graphs/radars is that each button press actually generates a complete screen change - i.e. the whole screen is redrawn - but because only certain elements differ between the screens it has the appearance of just those elements changing. WP is old software and this is the best workround to get an up-to-date look for it. There is no way to speed it up and further as far as I know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] happyfree:
Thanks!

Anyway I'll keep on using this great weather app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
I should think so too :D:D:D

"Waiting for SD / Invalid Layout" issue with ANDROID --} SOLVED

I think I have found the solution to the Weather Panel conflict when running ANDROID on HD2 getting the Message:

"WeatherPanel: Waiting for storagecard... or invalid layout type"

Well, it looks like it is related to the file " DDT_Ultimate_V1+.wpl " found within the "DDT Ultimate WVGA Folder "

For some reason, it is recognized as a 'Media Player Play List File', and for another unknown reason it is being deleted by ANDROID System when used.......:eek:

All you have to do is to go to SD card/Program Files/Marsware/WeatherPanel/Themes/DDT Ultimate WVGA/

change the properties of the file ( DDT_Ultimate_V1+.wpl ) from

ARCHIVE to READ ONLY + SYSTEM ( using a powerful file explorer like Resco Explorer or Total Commander )......:cool:

That's it ........

:D

P.S./ 1-If it was already deleted, you may recopy it back to its position then do the required.....

2-If this method didn't work for you, you may keep a copy of the file elsewhere but you should zip it so that the 'ANDROID' will not recognize it, the unzip it back to its position to get WeatherPanel work correctly....

Lite version home screen issue

Absolutely fantastic work guys, many thanks.

Just a quick bit of feedback that I've noticed with the Lite version of the layout. The first time you view it the screen is as expected, however when you hit the home button on the left sideof the screen after viewing other info WP goes back to the DDT Ultimate layout NOT the Lite version. Not a biggy, just thought I'd let you know.

Once again great work and thanks for all the time you've put in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:

6.5.x 24hr.

Thanks for the update Dunc, excellent work.

I've loaded the lite 12hr files and it's working great.

The forecast and info showing on the main screen is a very good addition too, I was in the process of looking into the files to see how it could be done - now I dont have too :)

Hope you dont mind, but I've attached a fully transparent info panel .png - It clears up the screen a little bit if anyone is interested.

What/where is the DDT folder ?? maybe i stupid question....

Thanks !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
This is the DDT Ultimate WVGA theme folder which is downloaded from the bottom of the first post. Once you've downloaded it you need to apply any overwrites that apply to your ROM/time format and add in the Lite files if you want that option. Once you've done that and followed the rest of the instructions it should end up located in Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Themes.

All there in the forst post, just follow the instructions exactly and you won't have any issues :D

Hi,

I like it :p

and a great thanks for your work.

One thing I probably not well understand...

When I click on Icon settings, I've 3 choices :

- Update

-update (without radar)

-Réglages

and there is no difference if i choose "with" or "without" radar... in the both case 3 files are downloaded : FRXX0073-radar-00.000000, FRXX0076-radar.00.001011 and FRXX0076-current... files 1 and 2 are about 500ko each and file 3 only 1 ko.

So, why there is a download for radar files as "without radar is selected)?

And why there 2 files as only 1 weather Images is selected?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BLiNKFAST:

Hi

Thank you very much for your efforts!! Greatly appreciated!!! A fantastic upgrade to the weather panel of WM 6.5 with very clear and detailed installation instructions for complete idiots like me to easily follow. I have managed to install WP on to my HD2, however the following has now happened:

(a) Earlier I could access the internet on my phone via USB cable connection from my computer using ActiveSync, but now this does not seem to be working. Every time I try to download data while connected through my PC, the phone turns on the Data Connection automatically for the download. If I override it and shut it down, no download takes place.

(b) Even I am getting the grey tool bar like the gentleman in post 493 on some screens.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
OK, for grey bar at bottom see my previous post - click your hardware back key and then don't touch on the area of the main screen which contains the current/high/low temps. I'm trying to find a way of disabling this.

For the update, not sure? I have a feeling that WP will not update even if you ask it to if you have updated very recently already - need to investigate.

On your connection through USB/Activesync I don't use this option so I'll have a look at it. Try opening WP settings, going to connection tab and uncheck the 'Establish connection' box and try again.
